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

I'm surprised he didn't call it "The bestest intelligence, bigly."

The shit the algorithm pushes has begun to make no sense. It used to or at least we believed it used to push things we interact with/our data suggests we would. I get pushed non stop AI slop which on most platforms I hut block immediately. Yet, more slop appears.

Day nine of attempting orgasmic tantra. I water it like a bonsai, hypothetically speaking. I've abstained from porn, and I'm definitely not thinking about the woman who works in the local Greggs. Sting did seven hours, or so I'm told. I #nurture it anyway. My small, angry trouser tent. #VSS365

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

She plays the song on repeat; purposefully so, this way, the song lasts longer. It doesn't matter if the kitchen lights are off; her eyes are closed anyway. The Kettle ticks as it cools. Ian Curtis has been dead longer than she's been alive, and still his #Hunger fills the room. #VSS365

Do I have time to dive into #Dawnwalker before The Witcher 3 upgrade drops? As I'm thinking of streaming #TheWitcher3 - not thay I've ever streamed anything before, but could be fun.

Couldn't help myself and wrote a little short story set in the #Cyberpunk2077 universe. Big shout out to Hope for doing the voice work too. Its only a short 15 or so minute listen. #cyberpunk --- youtu.be/gk1Eq3HC46k?...

Column A/Column B for me. If the vibes are right and the aesthetics hit, a blank canvas of a character can be imagined at depth by each player,reader,watcher. But I do love a great character.

On a personal note. I always found your love of Mitch to be endearing. In a world of Panam Vs Judy posts, you've connected with Mitch and I love that.

The Cyberpunk community for the most part is full of cool people. But I've observed a few times people being nasty. And recently the sheer amount of AI Cyberpunk posts is insane, along with the staunch defence of using it.

Sam Bramley @thisguyaresick.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

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.

He appears at her door the way all divine spirits do. Shirtless, obviously. Smelling of I dunno? Thunder, heavy rain... Some such shit. His voice, honey over gravel, or gravel over honey, she can't remember which. " #Temptation" he purrs. "It's Sunday," she says. "Bins need to go out." #VSS365

Sam Bramley @thisguyaresick.bsky.social · 30/07/2026

" #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

Sam Bramley @thisguyaresick.bsky.social · 27/07/2026

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

Sam Bramley @thisguyaresick.bsky.social · 27/07/2026

The taxi driver loves the summer. Points to the sunset, both hands off the wheel. "look, look." Her voice has this #cadence. Up at the end of every sentence. Like it's all good news. "Same time tomorrow?" she asks, pulling over. "Yeah" he says. He wasn't planning on waking up tomorrow. #VSS365

2099 looked like a "Greatest Hits" copy/paste of the previous Blade Runner films. Neuromancer looks absolutely amazing. I was shocked by how well it came across.

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

Sam Bramley @thisguyaresick.bsky.social · 22/07/2026

Windows down, doing 70, singing badly to a song he'd hate. #Tailwind at her back. A feeling stolen from a bad commercial. That "Bodyform for you" Rollerskating energy. She doesn't care. For three years she been told what to wear, what to eat, who she was allowed to talk to. Not anymore. #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.

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

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.

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

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.

2/? This Audio Series took months for me to research & write. It has been an labour of love (my love letter to #Cyberpunk2077 & to the hard work of the teams at #CDPR.) The voice actors @phototakerguy.bsky.social & Scott Michel have also put in hours of work to bring this to life.

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

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:

A big problem with how those stores operate. They're a walled garden operating with a platform monopoly... sorry I mean "closed ecosystem." (CorpoSpeak) If we had access to third party stores this could be dealt with.

Galaxie 500 may be one of the most underappreciated bands of all time. Anytime I've played their music around others, it's always "this is good" or "who is this?" And when told, it's always "never heard of them." #music youtu.be/YcbwIO-B-wM?...
