about

"Good afternoon, Prole 212." The cold automated voice rang out from inside your helmet. "Your daily balance currently stands at -4.12 hours labour. In order to unlock today's food privilege of 3D printed Steak and Chips we recommend that you complete your remaining balance before 6PM. Otherwise, all food choices will default to the basic option."

Your stomach growled, almost a frustrated monologue from four consecutive days of basic option reconstructed rice and beans. You remember the last time you betrayed your common sense that nudges you towards carrying out your daily tasks instead of abusing Entertainment Privileges VSV programming (Venusian Social Vision) for a week. It was not the best decision you have made, it is an awful thing, clawing your way out of a feedback loop of malnourishment inspired inactivity back towards being productive, especially given the current hostile environment.

Venus is a far harsher Mother than even Post-Fall Earth. The central decision making process, a series of 101 parallel AI known as "The Vanguard", are the judge, jury and executor of all legislative affairs in the Cloud City. It was experimental to say the least when it was developed in haste on Earth in preparation for the Exodus, an Engineering Feat that would have seemed infeasible even a year before the Nuclear Rain began, the idea of allowing AI to run and maintain a City where the very future of our race is at wager, deploying 100 Billion Swarm AI Actuators to ensure that the city continues to hover each and everyday absolutely boggles your mind, it's capability of making moral decisions however? Let's just say the jury is out for that one at least in the human populace…

"You have chosen to begin Labour hours. We thank you for your continued cooperation towards building a beautiful New Dawn." You scroll through the menu, hoping that it will be there- ah! The Celestial Navigator lobby has two seats open, probably two newbies that went for lunch, most naively, it is easily the most desired Labour option and a cut-throat business at 7 in the morning even logging in on this awful low bandwidth system. You have found in your time here that just because you live among people of the highest calibre of intelligence does not mean they have an ounce of cunning. You quickly click to jack in and feel that familiar, sense of awe as the majesty of the cosmos is piped into your feed...

As haunting and hypnotizing as going through the MGS series in release order and growing more and more captivated by the fandom's fabled Venom Snake without knowing a single thing about him. No, but seriously, this album is a work of art to transport you far, far away, an idea that draws you into the abstract. quietis

The sort of music that is beyond time. The sort of music that you feel more than you hear. I love the fact that vaporwave/dreampunk projects like these have such extremely evocative aesthetics they directly fill your mind with sensations you didn't know you had. You'd maybe think it relies on that solely, but it's coupled with gorgeous musicianship + intense production ideas. The volume and spaces it creates just pull you in instantly whatever your initial mood was. Still stunning to this day. SUPRAQUENCER

Mesmerizing, shadowy, borderline-ambient music from Italy, “787B” conjures a feeling of deep dread with icy keys and ominous rhythms. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 18, 2022
