Fun City (2019-2102)

Oh where do I begin? @wingwomenpod.bsky.social playing Night Witches @monsterhourpod.bsky.social specifically Season 2 playing Absurdia Obviously @talesyettold.com @bladesofmayari.bsky.social Filipino-Canadian led FATE @funcityventures.bsky.social despite Shadowrun being very much over-designed!!

I’m sick of people who don’t live in the Boston-Atlanta Metropolitan Axis complaining about it. Most people in America live under The Sprawl’s Fuller domes. Tired of tourists that are scared of taking the trans-BAMA local because they saw a Lo-Tek. Grow up!

Incredible bonus episode, excited for the next installment! Sound design is 👌 throughout and it's always a treat to hear @taylordotbiz.bsky.social play as a PC.

I'm drinking the Bios Crash slurpee I hope it crashes my bios I hope I blue screen

To be clear on what’s happening here: over 100 House Ds joined the Rs to pass crypto legislation that will allow corporations to issue their own money.

"gig workers call ICE on their immigrant coworkers who they view as competition" is a pretty concise summary of the 21st century, cybourgeoisie class warfare as a way to discipline labor. sourcenm.com/2025/07/11/r...

Great. My daughter found out about Netflix's "Bright" (2017) and wants a "Bright"-themed graduation party. I have to dress up in fairy makeup and pull a sidearm on her friends going "Hands up, motherfucker ELF" and "I'll shoot every fucking pointy ear ass elf I see". I'm assuming. Haven't seen it.

is it a dystopia yet where you probably have more predictable and consistently applied rights in Disneyland than outside it

lmao the PERFECT first reacts to this post, please listen to @neoscum.bsky.social and also @funcityventures.bsky.social which are both truly spectacular shadowrun actual plays

Only @funcityventures.bsky.social would go from the poetic abstract of sacrificing memory to escape a flesh elemental into a notice of debt entering collection and talk unironically about facing each. Genuinely felt inspired and heroic. Being mildly okay in 2025 is to be a Shadowrunner.

my bandmate found the most cursed object on facebook marketplace: a cpd land acknowledgment medallion. is it located in the suburbs? yes! does the seller have a punisher pfp? you betcha!

Palantir used to have affinity groups and DEI as late as 2022, and I had the logos saved on my phone because they pissed me off so much and of course they buried those pages. But I never forgot.

chummers! we've got a surprise: a new piece of merch! it's a hat featuring one very sexy minotaur. if you're one of our very dear and valued patrons, you can find the link to it and more details here. if you're not a patron... well, it's never too late to join! www.patreon.com/posts/hector...

big news: a new episode has landed. play it in your podcatcher of choice, or right here funcity.ventures/episode/56-g...

You should all check it out: funcity.ventures

It's great tho. Reasons to check it out: 1) It's very 'The Wire'-y, explicitly concerned with feedback loops between AI, markets, and bureaucracy as three forms of automation/optimization 2) The players' cultural references and vibe is kind of chic art-punk instead of classic nerd

There's a really cool, really good Shadowrun actual play podcast ('Fun City Ventures) that's been running for years and I'm one of like 500 patreon supporters for, which honestly feels weirdly intimate

@funcityventures.bsky.social is a documentary

so much of 80s and 90s cyberpunk seems prescient because it was based in part on shit that happened 300-400 years ago and may well happen again

One of the more fascinating things I learned with access to maritime Import data is that once someone dies on a ship, they become cargo and thus must be declared by the cruise ships. It's an odd bit of trade bureaucracy and necropolitics.
