Been playing the new Shadowrun game. They’re right, the Dragonfall DLC campaign is a lot better. Better writing, feels truer to the feel and the mythology (where Dead Man’s Switch seemed more generically cyberpunk slash SNES-Shadowrun [which I loved and still own on cartridge]). Also the mission flow and NPC personalities feel a lot closer to the old Bioware classics in terms of fleshed-out-ness.

\n

So that got me looking at the Shadowrun Wiki, because I was like “oh yeah, what did happen at Dunkelzahn’s inauguration?” and it was fun to notice how the mythology’s been updated to keep up with whatever the future looked like, like in 2005/“2064” the main BBS got replaced with a p2p system

Also that wiki had, as advertising, an autoplay news channel with geekbait anchors - busty in tight nerd-reference shirts, (actually isn’t that 3 or 4 years behind the curve now, I haven’t seen a Snorgtees ad in a while) that I think might have been the selfsame “very cyberpunk” channel I mentioned being disoriented by a while ago, so full circle I guess.
