Discussion of USENET on IRC #oldcomputerchallenge got me to thinking about my state of mind circa millennium, say '95-05.

I was spending a LOT of time on USENET, on a couple accounts. ICB, IRC, AOL, ICQ all scroll & beep.

I'd hacked my Linux desktop into something really peculiar, was running mostly Enlightenment (previously IceWM, WindowMaker, briefly KDE but ha ha that shit could go in a dumpster). Everything was automated, floating windows around me.

Warm cozy shell.

🇬🇧 Oh, wow!
Aside from #MamoroOshii more or less teasing a 3rd #GhostInTheShell #movie, we've also got a teaser for the new #AnimeSeries by #ScienceSaru! (That was in production for some time but that I completely forgot about until now. 😅)
I LOVE how the style is very strongly inspired by the original #manga by #MasamuneShirow - I love the 1995 movie, but what REALLY got me into the fandom was the manga, so I'm actually very excited about this! 😃

🇩🇪 Oh, wow!
Abgesehen davon, dass Mamoro Oshii mehr oder weniger einen 3. Ghost in the Shell #Film angeteasert hat, haben wir auch einen Teaser für die neue #Animeserie von Science Saru bekommen! (Die schon länger in Produktion war, die ich aber überhaupt nicht mehr auf dem Schirm hatte. 😅)
Ich LIEBE, wie sich der Style sehr eng an dem Original-Manga von Masamune Shirow orientiert - ich liebe den 1995-Film, aber so wirklich, WIRKLICH ins Fandom eingestiegen bin ich mit dem Manga, also bin ich tatsächlich sehr gespannt darauf! 😃

"There have always been ghosts in the machine: random segments of code, that have grouped together to form unexpected protocols. Unanticipated, these free radicals engender questions of free will, creativity, and even the nature of what we might call the soul. Why is it that when some robots are left in darkness, they will seek out the light? Why is it that when robots are stored in an empty space, they will group together, rather than stand alone? How do we explain this behavior? Random segments of code? Or is it something more? When does a perceptual schematic become consciousness? When does a difference engine become the search for truth? When does a personality simulation become the bitter mote... of a soul?"

P.S. - Fuck Cartesian Dualism. All my homies hate Cartesian Dualism.

I don't think Ronan Harris was inspired or influenced by Innocence when he wrote Darkangel. It's just that the song uses the imagery of a fallen angel, and because that is largely what Milton's Paradise Lost is about, there is this link with the Ghost in the Shell movie.

The shape of the airplane's wings and the cathedral-like buildings on Etorofu reinforce the reference.
After all, Togusa is quoting from Paradise Lost to express his reaction to the scene they are confronted with. And the makers of the movie have him do this because they want us to realise this connection.

Whenever I listen to VNV Nation's Darkangel, I see before me that scene of Ghost In The Shell 2: Innocence where Batō and Togusa descend on Etorofu in a plane that seems to have the wings of a fallen angel.

And Togusa quotes from Paradise Lost:

"His legions-Angel Forms, who lay entranced. Thick as autumnal leaves that strow the brooks."

Batō rejoins:

"Now you're quoting Milton? But we're nae Satan."

Ostatni zrzut który udostępniono... Cholera, poryczałem się przy nim.

Zrzut przedstawia trzy postacie, z czego dwie z nich są nam już dobrze znane od czasów pierwszej części #Utawarwrumono – Touka i Karulau. Kocham ten duet całym sercem, ale pękłem z innego powodu. W zeszłym roku pożegnaliśmy Panią Atsuko Tanaka, głos Karuli, ale też Major Motoko z #GITS. Więcej ode mnie możecie przeczytać tutaj 👉🏻 pol.social/@Lilim/112996124388

Trzeciej postaci nie poznaję, więc albo jest nowa, albo wiek i zmiana stylu graficznego grają tu rolę.

I to na razie na tyle. Plansza tytułowa i trzy obrazki wystarczyły, żeby stary koń jednocześnie skakał z radości i płakał rzewnymi łzami 🥹

Momento Ghost in the Shell del día 2

No sé, como que también me gustaría tener un sexy cuerpo cybernético.

Estos Gluteus maximus no se hacen solos.

Ya con seriedad. Me intriga el tipo de mantenimiento que un cuerpo cibernético requiriera.

Me imagino el costo sería astronómico.

Pero fuera de un uso intenso como en atletas o servicios militares, un civil ¿Desgastaría tanto sus prostéticos?

¿Un chequeo cada 5 años?

¿Una actualización de firmware me deja sin riñones?
