New alt art for Netrunner! A fermenter. A virus program that if you're patient you can squeeze it out

[cerastes]

I understand it's in part because Tumblr is the space for, among other things, people with very little social skills and self-awareness, and I'll never really tell people they can't post their own brand of positivity in their own netspace, but it never stops giving me a hearty chuckle whenever I see those posts where it's like "Oversharing and infodumping on your friends/others is based, actually" or "Posting the most decadently self-indulgent stories with overpowered self-insert OCs is all you need to do" or anything with that general vibe of "annoying/frowned upon thing or behavior is great, actually" with 150k notes all agreeing loudly because, see, I don't want to deal with any of those things without the proper agreement to do so and respect afforded a third party, friend or not, and I understand it's the kind of thing where it's reinforcement of the shunned and all that, but sometimes, just sometimes, you understand why they are shunned in the first place, and that's less about Quirks(tm) and more about unapologetically deciding to circumvent self-awareness.

For a long long while I've wanted to shoot pics of how I see Vijay as a netrunner in cyberspace or how I imagine a Cyberpunk 2077 cyberspace interface in his style could look.

More under the cut. Beware you may read how my head breaks into pieces as I try hard to understand Cyberpunk's netrunning world lore. I copy pasted some texts from lore books about netrunning because I lack in explainging by myself — so if you're interested, there you go:

First I thought about making the background black, like how it's in the game when you stand in front of the blackwall or talk to Alt. But somehow that isn't it for me.

I've read a while ago netrunners can program their cyberdecks I-G interfaces with a so called 'CREATOR' program that makes netspace like the netrunner wants or has to imagine it.

"There are two other programs on a cyberdeck. One is the Operating System: a program that listens to the instructions the Netrunner thinks to it and obeys his commends. The other is the CREATOR virtual reality system, which is really a complex drawing program that tells the I-G that “when you get this signal from the Net, show the guy this image instead of the one he normally would see.” Our small and stupid computer also has a capacious memory; it can store and run various programs (as directed by its owner), and it also has a huge library of images that both CREATOR and the I-G interface draw upon to interpret what the Netrunner sees while in Netspace. […] By activating the Creator drawing program hardwired into his cyberdeck, the runner is basically modifying the deck‘s basic I-G interface program. First, a background is selected from a huge database of backgrounds, then modified by using simple controls to adjust color, shading and texture. Then the 3-D objects are selected from another database of objects scanned from real life, then stored in a compressed, high-resolution form. The objects can be decompressed and “assembled” into virtual reality on four different levels of resolution. When a runner saves a program, he is saving all the instructions for redrawing the virtual reality he’s created. Anyone entering the Virtual (either where it is stored on the runner’s cyberdeck or in another system) automatically activates the picture and causes the cyberdeck or computer to reconstruct it."

— Rache Bartmoss' Guide to the Net – The Cyberpunk Sourcebook for the Global Computer Net

I'm honest, I'm having a hard time to understand the netrunning world as decribed in the lorebooks. Somehow it always ends same for me like when I watch documentations about the universe expansion, dark matter and supermassive black holes for too long: my head hurts, I have too many questions and I think I'm the dumbest being on the planet. lol

But this gave me basically the idea to make it look like it looks now in the pics, so I imagined maybe Vijay programs it so that it looks like how he wants it. But if he enters other parts of cyberspace he may not have an influence on it as it changes into a different interface if I understood it right.

Anyways, I took a behind the scenes shot this time if you are interested how my 'set' looked. It was very experimental. Who needs a photostudio? x)

By the Way:

The glowing balls visibly in his hands or next to him stand for an anti-system program named 'Cascade II' Vijay uses. Lorebook says this:

"Cascade is not a daemon, bearing more in common with Virazz and Viral 15. lt can only be used against a system CPU. When used, it overwrites system code, causing the CPU to switch programs at random. Every turn there's a 2 in 10 chance that whatever program the runner has encountered will change to something else at random-files might switch to ICE, ICE to system controllers, etc. Anything is possible! lf used against a cyberdeck, the deck chooses a new program at random to run each turn. Cascade can only be stopped by preventing it from reaching the CPU, or by dumping the system code and reloading it ICON: A floating ball of energy."

— Rache Bartmoss' Brainware Blowout – The Hardware and Software Compendium for Cyberpunk

Most of the netrunning stuff will stay a mysterium forever for me and I get why netrunning in the game is made that simple as it is. You simply cannot transfer this massive cyberspace stuff into a videogame. I imagine that e.g. Night City would have to be entirely rebuilt as cyberspace with changing interface virtual realities – everything needs an icon, has code gates, data walls, all kinds of watch dog programs and so on. There's like terrabites of programs runners use. From what I undestood is the quickhacks used in the game do invade other runner's and machine's MicroNets and we basically see it only happen in the real world because we do not see a runners cyberspace window. They are described like this:

"While The Net is a global community exploring everything fit for man and beast, a microNet is a pinched-off part of cyberspace all to itself with very small scope and very defined purpose. MicroNets are in things like: your own cyberwear, your smartgun, that AV-4 you were chased by last night or the hot little red Audi convertible of that girl you’ve been trying to find an excuse to get to know."

— Rache Bartmoss' Brainware Blowout – The Hardware and Software Compendium for Cyberpunk

MicroNets can be accessed through connection from outside (like these kind of data points or when you got real world access to it so you can simply jack in as we know in the game) or 'microNetrun' via a runner's c-deck. And I think ingame quickhacks such as "Synapse Burnout" as we gamers know them are in reality more Anti-Personnel programs called "Brainwipe" "Zombie" or "Lich". Last two are the evolution of Brainwipe what is describet like this:

Brainwipe is the simplest of a series of black programs, all of which are designed to attack the Netrunner instead of his programs. All black programs can be carried by an intruding Netrunner and used to attack other 'runners encountered in the Net. Brainwipe tracks the victim down, fries his forebrain with a jolt of current, and reduces him to a drooling vegetable <1D6 each turn to INTI. The screaming Netrunner feels his mind melt away, until his INT is reduced to O and he dies. Lost I NT cannot be regained.

This surely is a program Jaysen will definitely make use of. Vijay could but doesn't since he doesn't want to kill people anymore (he used it in his early runner days with a drugged mind as well).

Okay, okay I need to stop or it gets worse.

I am very much enjoying The Magnus Protocol but legitimately listening to it (and relistening to TMA) has become nigh-unbearable because of the ads. I'm lucky enough to have a podcast player which defaults to skipping thirty-second increments, but starting with five minutes of ads for a twenty-minute episode is just so deeply obnoxious.

Not just that, but the actual *type* of ads is. So bizarre. Maybe I'm used to the whole Squarespace/Meal Kit/etc environment of netspace ads but I'm not used to being advertised like. Luxury vacation rentals? Or business logistics programs? Why does this podcast think I'm a CEO or upper management or something. Just weird.

Like I know that podcast advertising has been Very Rough in terms of funding lately (people finally realizing that internet ads are. Not very profitable.) But it has definitely gotten worse to listen to because of that.

taking credit for things i didnt even do but #my impact 2 new xena/callisto fics written this year when the last one published on ao3 was written 5 years ago i am going to take credit for working to change the fabric of the universe and opening hearts and minds to xena/callisto in the fractured small xena fandom netspace

Hey salt here to talk more about The forum. I was thinking we'd talk about the next up chronologically which would be EGO or Jorie, he has told me he is called an EGO class NHP but perfers the name jorie (I think he was left uncycled for too long and deviated from his original function.) But he showed up not long after author after people began to notice my presence on the Cressidium netspace. He never told me his intentions but it was his idea at first to overflow a mech with nhp by using a subjectivity suite and a sacrificial reactor. Wether that was a good idea I don't know but it's thanks to jorie that I feel comfortable standing beside other pilots with more experience.

AS She said I am not like others of my class, and that is how I prefer it. But while I suggested that she put the forum together, I wasn't aware how far her ambition would go, and now even I fear what might come next. I was no friend to the one we lost, but the thing that replaced her is far worse.

Welcome to the show - for viridanira

It was an interesting choice, to close out your concert with a Welcome. The Business was not known for normality, however. Music Videos released as braindances, concerts that were largely holographic - preformed from within netspace no less - and now the second performer to get a full body conversion after already gaining a bit of fame. No one could top Lizzy Wizzy of course but they had other reasons for their new body.

Just stay for the show No candle lights to take to home You tried bringing out the sunny times You're not really good at telling lies So sick of keeping it all in I just want you to close all the doors Just leave me alone I tried to hide it I'm scared of what's next I still don't know where to go But welcome to the show

You'd never know the body on stage weighed close to 350lbs, by looking at it. They'd sprung for the best REALSKIN they could get after all they intended to look as close to their old body as they could. 6'1" and scrawny but not without muscle. They preformed like they were in front of a stadium crowd, not the parking lot of the Afterlife. Rogue had taken a liking to them for whatever reason and they weren't about to squander that opportunity.

So can you stay a little longer 'Cause I don't know who I wanna be So can you stay a little longer Just until I know you see me standing here Sometimes

A section of the song would see the singer focusing on a specific part of the crowd before kicking into the last repeat of the chorus and finally closing the concert out perhaps more bubbly than one would expect from a rockerboy. "Fuck yeah Afterlife, hope you enjoyed The Business! You've been a wonderful audience - even if I know most of you gonks just stayed for the free drink. Have a preem fuckin night, and tip your goddamned bartender!"

About an hour later - there wasn't that much to pack up and they had 'roadies' for that but they'd still help - they'd plop themselves down in a free barstool that just happens to be next to Viridanira, clearly on some kind of adrenaline high from preforming still. "Don't think I'll ever get used to that shit." Yes, they're speaking to her, and no they do not know her. Bizz just didn't seem to care about that right now.

Their laugh was melodic, but a little bit dorky. How did this bubbly gonk get a gig at the afterlife; they're obviously not merc material. And...how did the bartender know their drink without asking? And did he just wink at them?

Scenes from chapter 12 of Phishing Line! After a string of data breaches from the Hunter's Website happen overnight, Milluki starts to panic when he realizes he knows who the culprit may be. Things are especially bad because not only are they affecting his brother, Illumi, but now they're starting to affect the family business as well! Desperate to return things to normal, Milluki travels into the netspace to confront Bigbee about what they've done, only this time, it seems the creature has ulterior motives.

Beware - World Gallery Submission- Scott Uminga. - When the card Behold! was announced as the name, I kept calling it Beware! and it sort of just stuck with me. I think I'm known for my netspace orbs so it a weird way it's not a surprise to see

I did the art for Behold!, so when it received its name. I kept thinking and calling it Beware!  So I had to manifest an illustration that could bear this word. I usually leave the interpretation to the viewer. But I like that there is a fine balance to its composition. It looks like it's suspended in netspace, but at the same time could crush the runner at any moment. I believe I’m known for my orbs so I hope this doesn’t disappoint.

💌 sawry i'm on my main... hii

Quite alright! You are eternally a positive presence in my bloglife, whether that's asking intriguing questions, posting fun things about your writing and art, or being very nice to me in tags and replies. You're one of the faces (icons? usernames?) I can most easily rattle off as cool people who have been kindest to me and made me feel the most comfortable in this corner of netspace. I love seeing what you post on both your blogs and it's always nice to see you pipe up after a little break.

Also, Rosemary is an objectively good name.

One month complaining about puppygirls and forcefem and the next complaining about people being hormy in boring ways is a new interesting way to pretend calling trans women cringe for being horny isn’t just transmisogyny. I give it a month before you go full megapope

What In Tarnation

Also, I said I didn’t understand puppygirl stuff but that it didn’t bother me at all, so I don’t think that’s a complaint (that post was playful in nature). “Forcefem” being put everywhere as the new meme funny answer like “cum” was for a while until like a year ago is what I complained about, not the concept itself, and finally, I’ve forever been a strong advocate for being free with your kinks and fetishes, not to mention I don’t exactly have a conservative blog, I just also don’t pretend interacting with armpits erotically makes me an elite freak that could make Baby Jesus become fireworks with my mere sinful presence, nor do I make it my daily mission to turn any mention of human anatomy into an opportunity to remind everyone I like me a sweaty pit the way some people will look at any two characters glaring at each other and declare they demolish entire apartment complexes with the insane megasex they have after a heated swordfight, or other very surface level, almost mass produced statements. This isn’t A Sin, I just find it grievously corny and I don’t think it’s a greater statement of any sort to say as much in my blog.

If anything of the above constitutes MK Ultra sleeper agent transmisogyny to you, that’s less me becoming catholic and more you needing to work out some stuff, perhaps expand the range of your netspaces beyond what I tentatively assume is an echo chamber.

[vaultsixtynine]

johnny is so... disappointed isn't the word. confused? by seven's uh "music career" (she mostly does various forms of electronic music / strange sampling / something that's industrial if you squint) and is also nominally mystified by how hard she makes it for anyone to Fucking Listen To It. it's under like 10 layers of net scavenger hunting and published and housed via many many proxies and lives literally just on the edge of 'safe' netspace this is very alien to his experiences as a man who barely uses computers and also copes with ass backwards narcissism. they also host a little radio thing (don't speak, just curate music) that sits in the gray space of government/corpo non-awareness and they work just as hard to keep it excruciatingly anonymous.

[ 🔒 ] what is a secret they’ve sworn never to tell ?

Ooh, just from being a reputed NetWatch agent alone he harbors many, many secrets. Not all of them his.

But, for him personally, I'd like to think Bryce Mosley, In his downtime, is rather easy going and enjoyable to be around. In no way is he this way with anyone he might be affiliated with in the corpo world, but his secret is a desire to be around likeminded, passionate individuals. A 'simpler, better time.'

[ 🧨 ] what’s the quickest way to set them off, even if they hide it well ?

Classless insults of any nature, and downplaying his physical ability.

Ego insults. Bryce Moisley is a dangerous netrunner. Though the game has V knock him down relatively easy, the dude is packing cyberware throughout half of his body and then some. NetWatch fits their special agents with capabilities that reflect in Netspace, and Realspace. To my mind, He would have done more than just 'push' V's arm away.

He is a corpo in all respects. So bruising his ego is a quick way to fire him up. His natural nature to be cool and clever with speechcraft keeps him level headed. To a point.
