“have you got tap?” / “can i tap?” is a common local verbiage here

(also “got snapscan?” but that’s more popular in some cities than others, depending how much inroads snapscan has made)

(we also still have a fairly healthy cash market)

see I’m slowly shifting my vocabulary to tap unless I’m DIYing an NFC sticker into a project, but sometimes my cursed engineering brain takes over

maybe both should be tap. maybe it’s all tap. REST calls are now taps.

okay wait there's one possible failure mode in this reference which we might have to consider

this is only part of why Netrunner is the superior deckbuilder

…fucking hell I’ve got Netrunner on the brain. the card game about socialist hackers doing the best they can with what they can scrap together, organizing an economic war against extremely well-financed and terrifyingly powerful but inefficient corporations that almost own the entire world and will if you don’t single-handedly stop them

and as if that wasn’t cyberpunk enough, modern Netrunner is completely free and built on a game system and concept appropriated from Fantasy Flight after they let the game go out of print (though you can pay a reasonable price for good-quality printed cards, and they adopted roughly Fantasy Flight’s seasonal model that lets you do a MtG style deckbuilder without the greed elements, which is very nice)

e: and Musk is quoted in the other thread like “huh huh huh we all want cyberpunk right but just the duster not the other parts” and it’s like motherfucker a used duster’s normal hazard protection for a dying earth, ask me how I know, and all the other parts of any cyberpunk that’s worth a damn are about how much you fucking suck

Must thinks he's Case but he's actually Josef Virek only without the class.

Side note, the Wiki page for Count Zero is a trainwreck

Musk thinks he's a Mind but he's Joiler Veppers and will never understand that
