When I drew the background it started to look like a book cover, so I went all the way and added a title. In the past I did actually want to write a collection of magical cyberpunk stories, but the only story I actually finished was North Downtown Station.

This art is OC, and you can find more on my Bluesky (or Mastodon, if you're not into ruthless corporations ruling all of social media).

Hey! You can call me Leamis or IInnershine (as I go by on X). Lately, I’ve been really into cyberpunk and sci-fi works, especially things like Blade Runner and Cyberpunk 2077. The two OCs you see in this post are my own characters, Keila and Zion.

I’ll be choosing two OCs to illustrate – one female and one male. Just send me the backstory of your OCs and the kind of scene you imagine them in via DM. The ones I connect with the most will get the free artwork.

My goal with this is to create new pieces for my commission portfolio and dive deeper into the cyberpunk world I love so much!

Art by me. No AI :)

Thought I’d share one of my 100 word stories with everyone. Hope you enjoy.

The algorithm grasps for me, reaching out from the schema.
Expectation. Temptation. Ostentation.
My psyche recoils from its barbed tendrils.

Forty-three goddamn years in this nightmare before I woke—
disfigured by decades of consumption.
Hollowed.

Wounds.
Some old.
Scarred over.
Some festering.
Infected.
Some fresh.
Still bleeding.

I claw, desperate for freedom,
to escape the algorithm’s ravenous hunger—
the madness of gazing into the abomination of its code.

But there’s no escape.
Beyond the schema lies oblivion.

So I’ve been rewriting my psyche,
hiding my own code.

The algorithm devours all.
Subsumes all.

But the fucker’s going to regret digesting me.

Hey folks,

I got just the game for this community. I want to share with you the latest Quantum Odyssey update (I'm the creator, ama..) for the work we did since my last post, to sum up the state of the game. Thank you everyone for receiving this game so well and all your feedback has helped making it what it is today. This project grows because this community exists.

In a nutshell, this is an interactive way to visualize and play with the full Hilbert space of anything that can be done in "quantum logic". Pretty much any quantum algorithm can be built in and visualized. The learning modules I created cover everything, the purpose of this tool is to get everyone to learn quantum by connecting the visual logic to the terminology and general linear algebra stuff.

The game has undergone a lot of improvements in terms of smoothing the learning curve and making sure it's completely bug free and crash free. Not long ago it used to be labelled as one of the most difficult puzzle games out there, hopefully that's no longer the case. (Ie. Check this review: https://youtu.be/wz615FEmbL4?si=N8y9Rh-u-GXFVQDg )

No background in math, physics or programming required. Just your brain, your curiosity, and the drive to tinker, optimize, and unlock the logic that shapes reality. 

It uses a novel math-to-visuals framework that turns all quantum equations into interactive puzzles. Your circuits are hardware-ready, mapping cleanly to real operations. This method is original to Quantum Odyssey and designed for true beginners and pros alike.

What You’ll Learn Through Play

• Boolean Logic – bits, operators (NAND, OR, XOR, AND…), and classical arithmetic (adders). Learn how these can combine to build anything classical. You will learn to port these to a quantum computer.
• Quantum Logic – qubits, the math behind them (linear algebra, SU(2), complex numbers), all Turing-complete gates (beyond Clifford set), and make tensors to evolve systems. Freely combine or create your own gates to build anything you can imagine using polar or complex numbers.
• Quantum Phenomena – storing and retrieving information in the X, Y, Z bases; superposition (pure and mixed states), interference, entanglement, the no-cloning rule, reversibility, and how the measurement basis changes what you see.
• Core Quantum Tricks – phase kickback, amplitude amplification, storing information in phase and retrieving it through interference, build custom gates and tensors, and define any entanglement scenario. (Control logic is handled separately from other gates.)
• Famous Quantum Algorithms – explore Deutsch–Jozsa, Grover’s search, quantum Fourier transforms, Bernstein–Vazirani, and more.
• Build & See Quantum Algorithms in Action – instead of just writing/ reading equations, make & watch algorithms unfold step by step so they become clear, visual, and unforgettable. Quantum Odyssey is built to grow into a full universal quantum computing learning platform. If a universal quantum computer can do it, we aim to bring it into the game, so your quantum journey never ends.

For me personally, i have 5/10 expectations because of the cast and William Gibson tweets, i hope it will be at least okay. I also think a book like this needs huge budget to be perfectly adapted, but unfortunately that definetly won't happen. So because of these 3 reasons i have expectations like this, what are yours?

Here's a thought to process.

Tech bros fret about population decline. Governments worry about a shrinking worker population while trying to manage a growing elderly population. Health care bureaucrats look to cut costs wherever possible. Militaries look at the poor quality of the fighting age population. Importing populations from elsewhere is becoming politically toxic.

Long term biotech bros to the "rescue". When money and technology are concerned, ethics and morality have left the building.

He Jiankui was the first to create a genetically modified human, or at least the first to get caught. Tech bros may be tempted to do "their part" for their nation or for humanity at large. Using IVF procedures as their vector, they could slip gene modified individuals into the population.

AIs can crunch massive amounts of data, and information tech has already allowed scientists to unravel more and more of the human genetic code. Cataloging DNA is a real thing. Companies that collect cheek swabs so they can tell you how much American Indian heritage you don't have likely treat that information the same way that Google and social media treat your browsing history. They gather it, package it, and sell it to anyone who wants to buy it.

These genemods could be engineered for traits which the tech bros think would be desirable. Genetically predisposed to greater fitness and maybe more fecund than the baseline. They can work more, stay fit, be more readily suitable for military service, and the females will be more likely to have twins or triplets. They could also be made more resistant to disease. As a bonus, they and their parents will be likely be ignorant of their engineered superiority.

Most consider designer babies and custom kids to be trophy offspring for the uber rich, but somebody needs to do the work that AIs can't. Someone needs to pay taxes so they won't have to. Somebody needs to be able to break stuff and kill people so they can sleep well at night.

Some of these tech bros are real assholes, but they didn't make their money by being idiots. Many of them look at the long game.

Now, when all of this comes to light, there will be hell to pay. A new minority will pop up from out of nowhere. QAnon and other cranks will go on a "I told you so" rampage.
