That's what burns my ass so much. Every serious techhead I know online agree that LLMs are a handy too, but they're over priced, and the code they generate is not great. All that from massive datacentres destroying their local environment.

You don't need to change the license if all the techhead at SV and VC firms are in cahoots to use your stuff. The money will flow there.

Money itself is not a problem, is accumulating influence and making sure chuds have a place from which to get a seat at the table.

I plan to add to this whenever I finally get the Ultimate Iron Man to be Techhead and the Marvel vs Capcom Iron Man for...someone. Still trying to figure that one out.

Having always been a bit of a Techhead, I've been nothing but anti-tech on here lately, so I'll break it up by saying I just got a kinetic light switch (aka no wires) installed in my office and it is blowing my mind!! It's amazing. Witchcraft.

Dunno! Makes me realise how much I am the opposite of a techhead, though!

And as a professor, I hate and cringe very hard when some techhead refers to us as "content providers"

no, we aren't.

My crankiest old man take is that referring to all art/entertainment/journalism/criticism/comedy/advertising as “content” helped pave the way for broad-ish acceptance of AI slop.

So remember how I said one of the names I had for Dataframe was “Techhead” but wanted to use that for someone else?

Well I have an idea now, I just need to get the new Ultimate Iron Man figure for it.

some fun side characters i forgot i drew back in like... late 2024 i think?

adrian and matthew both belong to sadie's story within tftnd and they're such fun side characters, i adore them both sm <3

#welcometovirtucity #ocart #oc #ocsky #artsky #art #digitalart
a drawing of my oc matthew or mattie (they/them), greeting someone off screen (sadie) by saying "hi sweetpea!". mattie is a techhead within the world of tftnd and often assists sadie on jobs! they wear a simple gray tank top, shoulder steaps that are clipped to a dark gray body suit with the upper half tied to their waist and yellow converses. they possess cyber arms from the elbow down. a drawing of my oc adrian (he/him), in a relaxed pose, smiling slightly at the viewer. adrian is a middle man, which is someone outside of the crime families that gives mercenaries, techheads and bountry hunters jobs, working for both overground and underground clients. sadie is one of his favorite mercenaries to employ :) he wears a simple black shirt and burgandy-ish red jumper pants, paired with knee-high black socks and black and red sneakers; overtop that, he wears a black bomber jacket with a glowing red collar. he possesses neck chromewear that socers the lower half of his face down to his chest

I like the name Techhead. That’s the kinda name that even if you’re not going with it for this character, definitely keep in the back burner because the right character will come along.

It’s how I ended up using Nutjob for Kook’s daughter instead of Kami who ended up being Oddball

Went through a few names for them including, "Techhead" and "Hardware" but neither really fit. I thought of "Mainframe" in honor of the MC2 character but that made me remember the time Hasbro used that as a placeholder name for the G.I. Joe character Mainframe & just had to use it!

Everyone wants to see Catgirls in Power Armor, which is maybe 20 pages total at this point, and no one ever wants to see the Deckbuilder TTRPG, which is probably 100+ and has a playtest
:(

(I joke, here's some sample characters)
Character Name: Purrfect Smash Primary: Smash Secondary: Android Signature: Fuck-Off (Giant Hammer), Damage: 1d8 AP(1): Your weapon ignores 1 armor when dealing damage. Heavy: Increase your weapon’s damage dice by one category. Distinguishing Feature Primordial Rage: You are definitely no housecat, and your Fury knows no bounds. When you are reduced to less than half your wound count, once per combat you may enter a rage state at no action cost. Roll 1d4, this is how many turns it will last after the turn it started on. While you are raging, you gain 1 Fury at the start of every turn, and you can spend 2 Fury per turn instead of 1. Wound Track: 5 Fury Track: 5 Speed: 1 Combat Traits: Not So Fast: When an enemy tries to Close the Distance with an ally of yours, you can choose to spend 1 Fury. You immediately Engage the enemy, regardless of its Speed, making the combat roll as normal. Whether or not it succeeds, the enemy can not Close the Distance again until its next turn. Rip Apart: When an attack from this character would do more damage than needed to tick a wound box, the extra damage rolls over into the next wound track. Lynx Paws: The modifications to your legs make them that much stronger and able to leap further. When you Lunge, instead of doubling your Speed, your Speed is tripled. Non-combat Traits: Break Shit: While the subtle approach is needed, your character can choose to ignore the circumstances. During an extended check that is not primarily Smash, your character can instead choose to roll Smash and get +2 to that roll. If it is successful, you have managed to smash things in an overall helpful way. If you fail the roll, you have made things noticeably worse, at minimum removing successes from the extended check, or other side effects at GM’s discretion. Perfect Implant: You somehow have an implant that is absolutely perfect for this situation. Once per mission, you can choose to describe how an implant you have is perfect for this situation. You ge… Character Name: Yenny Primary: Power Armor Secondary: Shoot Signature: En Suit Firepower: Your armor has a built in ranged weapon system (1d6 damage) and can choose to spend an action to ‘Brace’. While braced, your character gains +2 to hit and AP(1) on all Shoot actions for the rest of the turn. Distinguishing Feature: Techhead: You likely made the suit yourself, and you are always looking to customize it further, though your constant tinkering usually doesn’t cause any long lasting benefit as you are quick to fiddle with it again. At the beginning of a mission, roll 1d6 to decide which trait from the following table your tinkering adds to your armor. 1) Improved Reflexes: Speed +1 2) Reactive Plating: Armor +1 3) Enhanced Computer: All combat rolls get +1 4) Enhanced Muscles: Strikes made with no other weapon deal 1d6 damage. 5) Refractive Bits: At the beginning of each turn, gain Cover(1) 6) Charge Ball: Once per combat, spend one action to throw a homing ball at an enemy. It deals 1d6 damage, no Shoot/Strike roll required. Wound Track: 5 (+2 Armor Boxes) Fury Track: 5 Speed: 1 Combat Traits: Jump Jets: Your armor has some form of propulsion built into it. At the start of your turn, you can spend as many Fury as you want to gain that much Speed until the start of your next turn. Emergency Shield: Your armor has a shield that can be deployed in an emergency to ward off danger. You can spend 1 Fury to reduce the damage of an incoming attack by 2. Hammer Round: Spend 1 Fury. All Shoot attacks this turn have their damage dice increased by one rank. Non-combat Traits: Satchel Charge: Your character is always ready for a situation that might require a bit of extra ‘oomf’. Once per mission while making a Break roll, you can choose to automatically succeed, but the result is always immensely destructive and might have some side effects depending on your DM’s choice. It's loud and flashy and not at all subtle. Hacking Tools: Your armor has various tools, plug-ins, cabl… Primary: Shoot Secondary: Android Signature: Justice/Peace (Revolvers), Damage: 1d6 Heavy: Increase damage by one dice rank Akimbo: The signature weapon is actually two smaller identical weapons used at the same time. Reduce the damage by one dice rank but can roll two attacks per action against the same target. Distinguishing Feature: Something Up Your Sleeve: Your character always has a pouch, bag, holster, satchel or whatever that they can pull something out of to help in the current situation. Once per combat as an action, choose one of the following options, or a custom one at GM discretion, and roll a 1d10 to see if you find the object you were looking for. If you roll 5 or higher, you find it and immediately use it. If you roll 4 or lower, you just need to look harder, and can choose to try again on another turn. -Special Ammunition: Oh right, you definitely packed bullets designed to fight this kind of thing. Your next attack that hits with your signature weapon will reduce the Speed or Armor of your opponent to 0 until the start of the next round. -Medipack: This was definitely packed because your teammates keep losing all their blood. You or a character of your choice restore 1 wound. -Thingamajig:You have no idea what this thing does, even after you use it, and neither do your foes. Everyone is extremely confused. All characters in combat roll 1d6. That is their speed for the next round of combat. -Bomb: Well, that seems very straightforward, why did you have a massive explosive tucked away in your bag under all that other junk? Target opponent takes 1d10 damage, ignoring armor. Wound Track: 5 Fury Track: 5 Speed: 1 Combat Traits: Covering Fire: When an Enemy Lunges, you can spend 1 Fury to make an immediate combat roll with your ranged weapon. Whether or not the combat roll succeeds, the enemy’s Lunge fails and they can not Lunge again this turn. Hammer Round: Spend 1 Fury. All Shoot attacks this turn have their damage dice increased by one rank. Bio… Primary: Android Secondary: Smash Signature: Augmented Strength: Any Melee strikes have +2 to hit on the combat roll and add 1 to the damage roll. Natural Weapons: Either claws, elbow blades, or other similar items are installed on your body. Increase damage dice on Strikes done with these weapons by 1 category. Distinguishing Feature: Resilient Body: Your mods are so extensive you find yourself extremely hard to kill, and often come back from combat with various parts of you missing. No matter how many Wound boxes are filled in, you do not lose another wound until the track is filled as if you had no wounds at all. Wound Track: 5 Fury Track: 5 (+2 Bioreserves) Speed: 1 Combat Traits: Rage Pulse: At a thought, you can add a bit of extra oomph to your Strikes. Before rolling for a Strike, you can choose to spend 1 Fury. If the Strike hits, increase its damage by one category. Bioreserves: You have two additional Fury points, but separate from your normal Fury bar. These can be spent normally, but do not recover until a mission is over. Clash: When you would be hit by a melee combat roll, you can choose to spend one action from your next turn and roll an opposing combat roll instead. If your roll is higher, the attack misses. If your roll is lower, the attack hits as it would before. Non-combat Traits: Intimidating: You are a big mass of muscles and angry and you certainly look like you could fold someone into origami at the slightest provocation. When using Conversate in any situation where threats are possible or reasonable, you roll twice and take the highest, and you have a +2 bonus to all Smash checks. Lemme Help: Sure, big muscles and anger can’t help in every situation, but sometimes you can help those without the big muscles and anger! When another character is making a non-combat check, describe how your character thinks they are helping. Roll 1d10. On a 1, you have failed horribly and give them -1 to their roll. On 2-4, you have just failed, with no penalty…
