Dean takes a long toke. "Right, so #Cloud Strife, yeah? Whole game he's this hard bastard. Big sword. Massive hair." Another toke. "Turns out he's a nobody who failed the exam and invented a cooler version of himself." He exhales."That's me at every family Christmas." #VSS365 #FinalFantasyVII

Southampton General. Five of them by the bins, gowns open at the back, arses on display, drip stands parked beside them. One's got an oxygen tank and a cigarette in his mouth. I #reckon they've all done the math. May as well enjoy a smoke while they can. #VSS365

I had this thought of someone using an #AI-written eulogy. Which is equally as funny (dark) as it is dystopian. The eulogy is deeply human, it's your words about someone you care about, who you lost, it's your lament given voice. What's worse, I'd imagine many people already done this.

That's a wrap. 17 full episodes. 6 Hours and 38 Minutes in total. And over a year of my time. #Cyberpunk2077 #Cyberpunk

" #BRAKE!" Martin screams. The woman stands in the headlights. White dress, arms out, eyes closed, dark hair flowling. Sarah's foot hits the pedal. The car shrieks to a halt. Martin stops shouting. They stare at the empty road, then at eachother. The woman in white? She's with them now. #VSS365

Some old woman's purse paid for this hit. Had photos of her grandkids in the flap. I'll post them back through her letterbox. I'm no animal. Those grinning gap-toothed faces leave my hands as the needle finds the vein; and I #descend into the warmth, that greets me like bathwater. #VSS365

He talked about sex like a car advert. Peak performance. Pushing limits. Reaching the #summit. He'd climax after a few minutes. Every time. Then lay there grinning like he'd conquered Everest; asking how it was for me. Base camp. Three years of base camp. I never even saw a hillside. #VSS365

He didn't know what was worse the blue light shining through plastic or the smell of puke on his shirt. Coke crystals lingered in his moustache, his arms were rapped around a motorbike. He pulled himself out from under the crinkled tarpaulin into sun on an empty #road in bumfuck nowhere. #VSS365

"Find that work-life #balance," they say. While I'm balls-deep in 40 pages of Carl's AI-generated strategy doc, more em dashes than an Emily Dickinson novel. Then home to the overpriced box room and the screaming, plate-smashing neighbours. "Life" is a sad wank and a Pot Noodle. #VSS365

I took some time away from regular social media posting. Needed a break in all honesty. However, we are closing in on the finale of #Cyberpunk2077 No Save Point, & given the amount of work, time and effort by all involved, it was time for ke to return.

5: Finally lots of love to the modders. I tried not to use any for the photography but then I had a character who simply couldn't be recreated without them. Even though YouTube has throttled the video versions to high heaven, I still think a lot of the images and video I took came out cool.

Sam Bramley @thisguyaresick.bsky.social · 12/07/2026

4/? I also spent hours in photomode taking shots for YouTube vids of the series. & here's the deal, I'm not an artist or #virtualphotographer, I'm a writer. But I gave it my best shot.

3/? @grizzxiii.bsky.social @bearboyjw.bsky.social also made some great art of the protagonist Zack, which i am forever grateful for. He deserves a follow purely for his fantastic art.

1/? Had an explosion of listeners to #Cyberpunk2077 No Save Point over the past two weeks. (These are the Spotify numbers) I'm glad #Cyberpunk fans are tuning in. Though im sure the #edgerunners 2 trailer helped with searches/fans finding the series.

Just saw a cheap, shitty AI #Cyberpunk2077 video with 100s of likes and comments. And, as somwone who has put hours into writing and editing a fictional Cyberpunk audio show, it is disheartening to see algorithms push AI shit, while throttling (looking still you Youtube) my story.

I feel this. I'm a meme machine, I've made 1000s, I also jump between socials (when that writer procrastination kicks in) My wife on the other hand doesn't have anything further than a LinkedIn she checks once a month. Speaking of my silly memes. Enjoy:

Episode 14 of #Cyberpunk No Save Point is put now on #Apple #Spotify #Amazon & a whole host of other auido platforms. (Links in comments) In this episode Zack & Ash must enter Maelstrom territory to retrieve missing Aldecaldo supplies. Should be a breeze right... right? #Cyberpunk2077 #AudioDrama

Cyberpunk No Save Point Episode Fourteen "End Vision" cover art featuring the Protagonists Zack and Ash sitting on a Brennan Apollo Motorcycle in the Badlands.

What do these 4 images have to do with my 17 part #Cyberpunk2077 audio drama? Character Names: Ash Zarina takes her name from Tessier Ashpool (Sprawl Trilogy) & Zarina The War Witch (Buck Rogers) Leon Murphy's name is a mix of Leon Kowalski (Blade Runner) & Alex Murphy (Robocop) I love eastereggs

Sam Bramley @thisguyaresick.bsky.social · 08/06/2026

Much like the video game did with quests and Cowboy Bebop did with its Episodes - every episode of #Cyberpunk2077 No Save Point is named after a song - Some from the 2077 OST and others whose titles fit the themes. I've made the playlist of the songs on #Spotify. open.spotify.com/playlist/103...

Do you like #Cyberpunk2077? Altered Carbon? Total Recall? Fight Club? A Scanner Darkly? Californication? Memento? Eternal Sunshine For The Spotless Mind? Then Cyberpunk: No Save Point is the Audio Drama for you. We have 5 hours of story across 13 episodes (with more to come)

Part of why I like writing this silly novel sized #Cyberpunk2077 audio show (fanfic) is when the voice actor sends back little lines like this.

The dimensional #rift appeared over Essex of all places. Half the county swallowed by a scar in the sky. Our best and brightest studied it for a year and came back with nothing. Insurance firms call it an act of God. Most Brits think it's an upgrade to the surroundings. #VSS364 #SCIFI

He built her himself. Two years worth of data training. Fed her every album he loved, every film, 20 TB of porn. Last night she opened with 'we need to talk.' This morning the chat won't load. Blocked. The #signal is clear: He's unfuckable in every dimension. #Cyberpunk #VSS365 #scifi

The superintelligence judges everyone, every second, past, present and future. It weighs both the dead and the unborn. We built a god and called it #judgement. The only question: "were those who who coded it trustworthy and just?" #VSS365

We fuck like a 90s jean commercial. All sweat and slow motion. Strangers would pay to watch. But the fucking's the only thing #tethering us. Switch it off and we're two people who can't share a kitchen at breakfast. The sex is the rope. Everything else is the drop. #VSS365

#Linger by The Cranberries comes on and I have to pull over. Fifty-one and sobbing in a layby. At nineteen I thought it was about a girl who didn't want me. When my dad died it reminded me of him. Now it's about the rest of it. The things I didn't do because I assumed there'd be time. #VSS365

Content Warning ⚠️ This is from my short story collection. "Wrongcock" is set in a street surgeons clinic in a #Cyberpunk Warsaw. A violent individual seeks an implant upgrade while regaling his darkest most depraved moments. (he gets his comeuppance.) #WIPsnips #writingcommunity #writingprompts

His voice dropped, heavy with remembered pleasure. "She thought it was just another sim job. Three hours later, she learned the difference between fantasy and reality."
Katya's instruments trembled in her hands.
"The beauty was in the degradation. Watching her realise that all that tech meant nothing against a real auteur. Twenty thousand viewers experienced her final moments through my nervous system. Felt her terror. Felt her pain. I made her a star… A dying one."

After 30 years of shagging it's never once let me down. Numb on coke, blind drunk, inside someome whose name I'd lost by morning. Hard as a hammer. Now a woman worth remembering's in my bed and the bastard just lies there. Soft. Apologetic. This #betrayal feels like nothing. #VSS365

Our CEO erected a statue of the founder in the foyer to inspire us. His #intent: a workforce of believers. HR uses it as the harassment training mannequin. The founder's groins' been touched so much the bronze is worn down. So it's certainly inspiring something in the staff. #vss365

"You're going to Japan!? Really Zack? You shouldn't be running away but chasing after her."

My 'brother' said this, which is hypocritical given he's already in his third marriage and never once stuck around to "fix things."

Besides, I don't know where Ash went or where she is going, so how could I chase her?

What else was I supposed to do?

Got the dermal implants in February. Both tits, both nipples. #Luminous blue, programmable. Now I'm the glowingest whore in all seven sectors. Three grand, paid off in two weeks. Lights off, tits on full beam. The John's can get enough of my suckable little night lights. #VSS365 #Cyberpunk
