Here's your preview

gellaho, Bringer of Apes

"An Invitation to Madness"

not actually a Dr Mithritic

@gellaho, Bringer of Apes

Is this today?

sensitive New Age jakesy

It’s every day

But yes, also today

Anti-Life Justifies My Hatred

most excellent

sensitive New Age jakesy

I have a meeting at 2 and I’m so pumped to turn off the camera and pretend to listen while Steeling

Science God Q Alchemy

It's today?

Hell yeah

Djonin Foxman

I’ve already scoped out patrol routes with minimal camera coverage to read along

Old Man Brendan

STEELE O'CLOCK, YOU POPINJAYS

ShmupDogJoe

OOOOOOOOOOOH!

gellaho, Bringer of Apes

Little delay, work is being annoying

Old Man Brendan

There is no work but our great work.

gellaho, Bringer of Apes

OK, fuck it. Somebody said they wanted to call me then disappeared for 5 minutes

They can suck it

It's after 5

sensitive New Age jakesy

Hell yeah fuck work do Steele

Djonin Foxman

It’s inspiring as a cyborg fake cop to listen to tales of a fake cyborg cop

gellaho, Bringer of Apes

sensitive New Age jakesy

He must really hate Marge huh

Or really want to fuck Marge. One or the other, or maybe both

Old Man Brendan

Marge is his gun

Anti-Life Justifies My Hatred

he watches Homer's buffoonery and grits his teeth

"I'd treat her right" he says

Literary Chimera, Porn Mercenary

I mean, who doesn't want to?

Old Man Brendan

r/nicecyborgs

Djonin Foxman

I need eggs

For Bart

gellaho

So, we start with ol' Devy Coops. A character that was completely absent from the last book

Last we saw him he was devastated by drugs and drink. Let's see what he's up to now

sensitive New Age jakesy

Surely not ravaged by drug, drinks, and time

Old Man Brendan

The codename is the operative's name

gellaho

All better

He had a miraculous recovery, I guess while he was not doing anything last time

Djonin Foxman

Good for him

Old Man Brendan

He went to rehab.

His lats are almost back to normal.

sensitive New Age jakesy

Are his lips properly moistened though

gellaho

The CIA kept him locked in his apartment under constant surveillance

seems like a healthy way to recover

gellaho

he's drinking lots of coffee so he's probably dehydrated

sensitive New Age jakesy

Not a great sign , better get lickin’

Djonin Foxman

I misread that as fell asleep beside him.

Old Man Brendan

At least he has a short commute

Science God Q Alchemy

He's got a team of four cia agents just to keep him sober

Also the cia still exists

gellaho

Who had page 6?

sensitive New Age jakesy

I think we’ve established that the apocalypse was a minor inconvenience

Djonin Foxman

“What is a dick without a human soul behind its cum?”

Science God Q Alchemy

"he can still fuck and produce offspring, what more reassurance does he need that he's still human"

Djonin Foxman

I remember when my partner got an insulin pump

Science God Q Alchemy

"God he is being just a massive baby about this whole robot brain thing."

Djonin Foxman

He was afraid his children would know his soul was gone

And the rest of the officers were afraid he’d go haywire

Science God Q Alchemy

"he's still got his dick what else do you really need?"

Anti-Life Justifies My Hatred

"What use is a fully-functioning and just, so huge, dick if it's wielded by a mere automaton??"

Djonin Foxman

Poor bastard. Poor wind-up bastard

Science God Q Alchemy

His wife asked that once, but it was before he was a robot

Old Man Brendan

The child is healthy...but soulless.

Science God Q Alchemy

So much attention is paid to Steele's dick in these books.

Djonin Foxman

I want to see people with glasses act like old sci fi cyborgs.

gellaho

See subject file, subheading: Recap

Djonin Foxman

“Is what I see even real if it’s behind glass?”

Anti-Life Justifies My Hatred

soul is stored in the balls

Old Man Brendan

God, just hyperlink it, Dev.

Science God Q Alchemy

I do think donovan steele is dead, and steele just has all his memories. And like three other people's memories.

sensitive New Age jakesy

Pee is stored in the balls, soul is more taint-adjacent

Djonin Foxman

Cum is stored in the brain

gellaho

In case you missed it, that's subheading: Matrix

Science God Q Alchemy

They basically just bolted his dick to an ai driven cadaver puppet

Djonin Foxman

Code name: Steely Dan

Old Man Brendan

Would the ultimate killing machine even work without a dick to fight for?

Science God Q Alchemy

His ex said steele fucked like a robot, but the robot actually fucks better than him.

Science God Q Alchemy

His partner lost control and went insane, know why?

Robot penis

sensitive New Age jakesy

How much do dicks matter in the Matrix (subheading)?

Anti-Life Justifies My Hatred

imagine what his sexual encounters must be like now

"Steele, you're pushing rope here"

"I HAVE NO SOUL"

"goddammit this again"

Djonin Foxman

Metal Gear Solid: the Phantom Peen

gellaho

"You need to understand how hot this lady scientist is" - JD Masters

Science God Q Alchemy

I mean, they define his humanity so much around his reproductive capacity, as though goddamn cockroaches don't have dicks and fuck

Anti-Life Justifies My Hatred

Hellooooooo Nurse!

Djonin Foxman

Green eyed redhead scientist lady

sensitive New Age jakesy

Again, voluptuous = big tiddies

Djonin Foxman

Tale as old as sci fi

sensitive New Age jakesy

Make sure they know she’s a big titty redhead who’s also a scientist

Old Man Brendan

"She was so fuckin' hot but, oh--also SMART, you guys."

Djonin Foxman

I choose to interpret that as she’s thicc

I reject his reality and substitute my own

Death of the author

sensitive New Age jakesy

I mean that’s the correct interpretation but there’s no way masters knows that

gellaho

Lady scientist is a little judgy

Science God Q Alchemy

"don't just judge her by her looks, the very first thing I described of her character"

sensitive New Age jakesy

They’re so scared of Ice

gellaho

Scratch that, very judgy

sensitive New Age jakesy

Foreeeeeeshaadowing

Djonin Foxman

Ice is such a bro

Old Man Brendan

She calls her a little hooker like she wasn't rescued from sex trafficking.

Djonin Foxman

I’m glad people in universe recognize how cool it is to be friends with Ice

gellaho

JD Masters (of writing women)

Old Man Brendan

"Raven knew men like Dev wanted her body, and she wasn't afraid to exploit that to get them to fund her doctorate studies so Jennifer had to respect her."

Djonin Foxman

Haha what the fuck

Where did that come from.

Science God Q Alchemy

Why so much speculation about how she fucks?

Old Man Brendan

OH THEY GONNA FUCK

Djonin Foxman

Someone get saxquatch on the phone

sensitive New Age jakesy

Masters has never looked at a woman without wondering how she fucks

Old Man Brendan

Wait so a DIFFERENT redheaded tig biddy scientist had sex on Higgins's desk?

gellaho

no, that's the same one

sensitive New Age jakesy

I think they’re all the same big tiddy redhead

They just introduce her like a new character every time

So Masters can talk about said juggs

Djonin Foxman

I hope that desk gets sterilized

Old Man Brendan

But Matrix broadcast footage of them boinking

gellaho

Unsophisticated? I'll have you know that Ice reads old books

Old Man Brendan

We'd better erase Steele's memories of Steele being upset about erasing his memories so we don't have to tell him we're erasing these other memories.

gellaho

This lady fucked Higgins and immediately became an asshole

Old Man Brendan

Hookers and Gangstas (TM) can be sophisticated Jennifer, you yutz.

sensitive New Age jakesy

My God!!!

Think of the computers!!!

Old Man Brendan

I can't believe I'm siding against the brainy hot redhead character.

gellaho

"God, they're all so fucking hot!" - JD

Science God Q Alchemy

There's still a supreme court and lower courts

Djonin Foxman

The logistics of this government confuse me

Old Man Brendan

The court rules Steele's dick is human and therefore entitled to the full archive of his spank bank.

gellaho

And Steele out here in a high backed chair reading books. I think JD's completely forgotten his character

Djonin Foxman

More than the existence of a black gang in Wyoming

Science God Q Alchemy

So like, can he get drunk?

His brain is a computer

Djonin Foxman

What sci fi book is going to be name dropped

Old Man Brendan

Scotch and also the Scotch was Glenlivet

Djonin Foxman

My money is Heinlein

Old Man Brendan

TIME WARS

gellaho

Dickens

Old Man Brendan

But his liver is made up of all the parts of his penis they couldn't save

Is the Dickens human or robot?

Djonin Foxman

What the fuck

gellaho

Sophisticated Steele (tm)

Djonin Foxman

I don’t think anyone had Charles dickens

Old Man Brendan

Meh, Dickens is pop lit.

Djonin Foxman

Oh yeah, he’s reading a middle school assigned book

sensitive New Age jakesy

Also this Steele is somehow so focused he doesn’t want to fuck Raven even though she’s looking fine as hell. What a man!

gellaho

Old Man Brendan

His back is to her.

gellaho

I guess he just likes wasting resources in the post-apocalypse

Old Man Brendan

Steele is a lego man in a play doh world.

sensitive New Age jakesy

That is pretty hilarious. He’s so smart he reads 100 page books you heard of

gellaho

Great Expectations is way longer than 100 pages

it's also very boring

until that lady gets set on fire

Djonin Foxman

It serves as a decent critique of popular genre fiction of its time

But it’s boring

Old Man Brendan

I'll give it this: it ends on socio-existential horror.

"Steele flipped through Wuthering Heights for the 29th time that evening. HOW did this make it into the annals of literary history? His computer brain overheated to ponder it."

Djonin Foxman

Great Expectations is a parody of a genre that doesn’t really exist anymore

sensitive New Age jakesy

I think I was imagining To Kill a Mockingbird

That seems more like Steele’s pace

gellaho

It's a much better book

Djonin Foxman

Steele would read “How to Kill A Mockingbird”

sensitive New Age jakesy

All them assigned readin’s blend together for me too, Steele

Old Man Brendan

Do you think Masters would recognize a book arguing passionately for the need to recognize Black people's humanity? I do not.

Djonin Foxman

Steele in his reading chair with his scotch. I feel like he should be smoking a pipe too

Old Man Brendan

The mark of a cultured man is how long he can refuse sex to pursue the middling arts.

If alcohol has no effect on him, he should stop wasting scotch.

gellaho

Matrix just out here making inconvenient calls

Old Man Brendan

Transatlantic commerce is at a standstill

A computer calls him to chat and he wants to debate ontology.

gellaho

JD is a weird dude

The Matrix is obsessed with sexual pranks

Old Man Brendan

so did he just...skip over other calls until he found a hot one?

sensitive New Age jakesy

Matrix Steele has all the horny genes now

gellaho

Here's another one

playin' the hits

Djonin Foxman

Gay women talking dirty on the phone

sensitive New Age jakesy

Lol

Old Man Brendan

Yeah, Dev was definitely in rehab.

sensitive New Age jakesy

Matrix loves revenge porn

Djonin Foxman

I keep trying to think of a punchline but it’s just so childishly dumb a sentence.

Old Man Brendan

Jennifer's definitely a clasp on the front type, we agree this?

gellaho

I'm sure the matrix did it to prove a point. Not that it's horny because it has no dick, human or otherwise

Also "I want you to explain to Steele about me"

sensitive New Age jakesy

The ol’ Fort Knox bra

gellaho

That's a sentence

Old Man Brendan

so is Matrix just out there copying itself to backup drives that PD (Codename: Project Steele) doesn't have access to? That's...someone should keep an eye on that rogue AI

gellaho

Lol, they thought Dev was on a phone sex line

Just another sexy prank from the matrix

Djonin Foxman

Matrix doesn’t seem concerned that he doesn’t have a dick

gellaho

Meanwhile, sex

Djonin Foxman

What the fuck

This book is giving me sexual whiplash

Old Man Brendan

Higgins needs to compartmentalize.

This book was written in a dry spell.

gellaho

"God, she's so hot. Maybe she'll step on my balls" - JD

Old Man Brendan

...ugh, what are the odds Dev coerces Dr. Stone now that he knows about the tape?

Djonin Foxman

Yeah this book was written by someone who likes being stepped on.

gellaho

She's so smart and horny and hot and

Old Man Brendan

In my experience, smart, independent women are the LEAST hesitant to pursue a dick.

gellaho

Ball-stepping confirmed

Old Man Brendan

There is no way he can define torrid.

Djonin Foxman

Home boy never learned about safe words

Old Man Brendan

Matrix scowled in disgust. What sort of man let a woman enjoy herself around him?

Djonin Foxman

Non-BDSM people writing BDSM should be a horror genre

gellaho

It just keeps goin

and goin

Old Man Brendan

50 Shades of Grey is hilarious if you read Anastasia's parts in Fran Drescher voice and Christian's in Donald Duc.

gellaho

I hate the way that last paragraph is phrased

Old Man Brendan

Oh boy, someone just learned CEOs make good dom customers.

sensitive New Age jakesy

The nonconsensual sex is on the other foot now, hashtag girl power!!

Djonin Foxman

Reading us this book has to qualify as a type of CBT

sensitive New Age jakesy

This is Masters thinking he’s a feminist

gellaho

Oh, no. Now when will they have kinky sex?

That's what this book is about, right?

Also, Higgins is fucking into it

Bike Dancin' Greg

Ok I'm here. Should I catch up or was it just 38 pages of sex and sex pranks and Supreme Court?

Old Man Brendan

That one.

gellaho

The Matrix is calling, and Higgins' lips are moist

Old Man Brendan

Matrix is a bro.

Bike Dancin' Greg

I hope they reconstructed some dumb weapons on him

sensitive New Age jakesy

Thank god

He should just be using the arm laser exclusively

Old Man Brendan

Nipple mines!

gellaho

The Matrix is obsessed with this sex tape

Also, more lip action from Higgins

sensitive New Age jakesy

Is this the one where they give him the extra hand that he keeps on his belt

Bike Dancin' Greg

Why? Just because it is unblockable, literally light speed and his robot brain can never miss?

gellaho

I bet the Matrix is worried about being prosecuted for blackmail

Old Man Brendan

Can you ever really blackmail someone who disembodied you to live in limbo on the internet?

Don't try appealing to Matrix's morality when he's Steele without a dick.

Bike Dancin' Greg

It sounds like the Supreme Court is still taking these kind of philosophical cases though

Old Man Brendan

Yeah but the Supreme Court is in Detroit now so all disputes are settled with knife fight.

gellaho

This sexy scientist has gone aggro really quickly

Djonin Foxman

That’s what happen when you let women have power

They start wanting to murder

Old Man Brendan

Definitely wouldn't want to be known as a 30-something who's no longer a virgin or a guy who lands the hottest geniuses out there.

sensitive New Age jakesy

Jesus Christ man, it’s the apocalypse. Who gives a shit if your big tiddies are all over the news

Also what news? Why is there still the news?

Bike Dancin' Greg

This is all because they want to keep some potentially upsetting information from Steele? Gonna go to war with the god machine

gellaho

"some crazy bunch of Islamic fundamentalist fanatics"

Djonin Foxman

The man could die from all the high fives he would get, take this seriously.

Old Man Brendan

"Coming up at 11, two government contractors you've never heard of had sex. We'll have footage after this message from Coke-a-Pepsi UniCorp.

Djonin Foxman

Fuck that paragraph looks like Ben Shapiro wrote it

Bike Dancin' Greg

I will never stop being upset that this post-apocalyptic world works the same or better than ours

Old Man Brendan

They should be offering the machine peace pledges like a body and a rescued minx and a best friend.

gellaho

The last book had two tv reporters, one of whom was national!

sensitive New Age jakesy

What nation?

Djonin Foxman

Wyoming

sensitive New Age jakesy

Haha this is just so weird. The USA basically doesn’t exist but still exists

gellaho

You know who else refuses to admit that anything had really changed?

Old Man Brendan

Lousy scientists get in bed with anyone who lets them do what other governments won't. WHAT ABOUT NICE GOVERNMENTS??

gellaho

The author

Old Man Brendan

All worlds are the world of survivors.

Djonin Foxman

What if the apocalypse story was a giant gaslighting program

Old Man Brendan

I would be A-OK with a 2b-strong world population, even if 1/10 of that number was CHUDs.

Old Man Brendan

False Flag op. Textbook LibFasc PsyOps move. Good luck, patriot.

Djonin Foxman

Yay baking time

Bike Dancin' Greg

Yeah Florida is like totally a terrible pirate country now

Old Man Brendan

But what about in the book?

Djonin Foxman

I hope Q likes my crumb tribute

sensitive New Age jakesy

Especially because, in our real life actual timeline, every single politician and important person in the world by 2050 will have nudes and or sex tapes on the internet from when they were younger.

gellaho

I'm not sure what JD is going for here

Old Man Brendan

Well, credit the book that if it collapsed in the '90s they not only wouldn't have developed smartphones, but there'd be no infrastructure for high-speed

Matrix out here blackmailin' on 7800baud

sensitive New Age jakesy

Eh I guess that’s a good point

Djonin Foxman

This is like everything my east coast relatives thought was happening in Seattle under BLM

They assumed I was Steele

Old Man Brendan

>No-man's land

>street gangs controlled the turf and economy

PICK ONE

gellaho

"NEVER!!!!" - JD Masters

Old Man Brendan

@Djonin Foxman r/asknyc had a couple perpetual lurkers just there to tell us how glad they were to have fucked off to Florida because they knew the city was headed back to the '70s.

sensitive New Age jakesy

All the wealthy people, with the money that’s still used as currency in the post apocalyptic world

Old Man Brendan

Meanwhile, I could finally try Rao's.

sensitive New Age jakesy

Those everlasting greenbacks, never losing value

Old Man Brendan

I guarantee you in JD's world we're back on the gold standard.

gellaho

Fuck, you JD. You hack

Djonin Foxman

?

sensitive New Age jakesy

“He suddenly got a feeling that he needed to go in here”

Old Man Brendan

Of all the engrams in all the matrices in all the remaining parts of the world...

gellaho

I don't need to explain, it. JD gives it away

Hey, I stole this name

Here's where I stole it from

Djonin Foxman

Oh fuck you JD

gellaho

The ol' Ernest Cline

Old Man Brendan

Wait, this is exactly where they had a meeting last book.

Is he still in the city? Because this might be a reference to a real place up in Rockland.

Djonin Foxman

Are we ripping off Casablanca now

Science God Q Alchemy

I do sort of respect the "fuck you" aspect to this worldbuilding

sensitive New Age jakesy

I dunno, there’s like some old movie shit here, fuck you!

Science God Q Alchemy

I want to embody that, but like on purpose

gellaho

He's just wandering, here's the last geography

Djonin Foxman

Yeah I like to wander no man’s land sometimes too

Old Man Brendan

Ah okay he's around the corner from Dr. Strange's apartment.

gellaho

He gave the whole credits for the movie too

Why? Who the fuck knows

Science God Q Alchemy

"how does the magic work?" "Fuck you" that's my ideal fantasy novel right there

gellaho

"Hey, ain't you that famous cyborg what been in the news that we still have somehow?"

Science God Q Alchemy

What are the odds ernest cline has read this book?

Djonin Foxman

“Is it true your hog is still human?”

gellaho

This is far too obscure

Old Man Brendan

Yeah, this is the memory from last book of losing Donn--HEY AREN'T YOU DONOVAN STEELE, DA CYBORG? TAKE A PITCHA WIT ME FOR A FREE SLICE OF PIZZA!

Steele on the wall forever next to Big Pussy from the Sopranos.

Djonin Foxman

And Dennis Rodman
