Confessi0ns for you to make about your life and how it is affected by the world of networkz & cyberjunk
Doxxing, drugs, bullying online, spill the beans. What have Y0U done?
This device is used by fixers to transfer their physical body (but not equipment) almost completely into the Grid, yet retain a presence in the real world. The link between the Grid and reality is maintained by a Multi-Spatial Phasing Beacon. What is left of the fixer in the real world is a semi-solid web of energy that the fixer controls as easily as they would their own body. When in this state, the only way the fixer can be damaged is if the Multi-Spatial Phasing Beacon is itself damaged, which hovers in the center of the energy web. A symbiotic link is maintained between the fixer and the Beacon while this device is worn - if the Beacon is destroyed, the fixer will die. However, given the small size of the Beacon, the majority of attacks tend to be avoided.

You make it sound like it's all bad shit - online taught me a number of virtues that carry over into IRL. Overall, I think it's been more good than bad for me. Of course, this doesn't seem to be the case for most people.

I have a lot 2 say about this. 2 keep it simple 4 now, I joined the Internet when I was 14 and always wanted to figure out how to position myself correctly on it. Being pretty much isolated from the rest of the world my entire life due 2 language barriers forced me 2 speak English, which is 1 of the reasons I associate obscure concepts with word patterns and my written speech might sound a little fucked up. But all in all, a beautiful experience, never got into drugs, just focused on dataluxing and operating. Rolling,

i liked to think that watching cartela chainsaw beheadings at 10 years old was something only a few people and I had experienced, but taking 10 seconds to look at a rebbit/f*cebook/twatter trending feed shows you how widespread and penetrating the psycho-warfare napalm has spread

when I was in highschool a wirehead found videos of my garrys mod and halo projects and I lived the legacy of "potential shooterboy" over it due to lunacy and death wishing.

“do you know where i can find net terminal genes?”
hard to pin down how i feel, access to the net has been both a blessing and a curse. met too many people in the wrong crowd and got consumed, had to leave them to better myself and rethink what really mattered to me. ever since then there's been a change on how i view myself in the world and what it really means to be a "good person", almost like i had finally removed a nihilistic switch stuck in my brain for so long. no longer do i use the net for my own amusement and destruction, i use it now to establish meaningful connections with new people. i've trolled and spread hate in the past but i don't really do it that much anymore. if i do its usually with reason against an adversary, since hate is used best against my enemies rather to try and make new ones, its always good to have many friends on your side these days.

“He's passed on to a better, more euphemistic place.”
My net experience began at around 13 and I basically did stupid shit until I was almost 15 when I finally started getting my shit together. Some time after that I was mostly able to purge the people I had met online that were bad for me and since then things have been mostly serine. The Internet has made me much more than I would have been without it, I know that much.

the internet has acted as a surrogate for real social life for several periods of life and has amplified the issues to make a return to normalcy harder and harder as time goes on, whereas earlier i would have prolonged periods of great realworld connection, now i am becoming destroyed. of course many good and great things come from the net but this im trying to be confessional. even some drugs (acquired from the clearnet, with no issue - wtf!)

I've been on the internet from a very young age, my parents put me on F*cebook at the age of six in 2009 where I promptly began sharing Gummy Bear song videos and funny cat videos from youtube. I got pretty lucky in that I avoided most of the shit that could have really fucked me up (Imagine if I got on Tumblr in 2011 at the age of 8 or some shit, fuuuck.) While I do spend a lot of time online now, there are many ways in which the Internet has helped form me as a person, I have since found what types of aesthetics I like, I've found many different types of music I love that I never in a million years would have found without the net, same thing with all the video games I love. All of those things I have found have inspired me to take up my own writing project that I have sunk a decent bit of time into (I need to work more on it pretty badly) based around all those styles I love.

I was admining facebook fandom pages and moved to tumblr and imageboards when i hit the tweens. Good memories overall, exploring websites and learning all sorts of new things has always made the Wired something like an ever expanding non-euclidian geography to go investigate and discover. I think I was lucky that I was first exposed to the internet when we had DSL connection and loading sites like facebook took a good couple minutes. The wired touched me before I touched IT-- my mom hung out with a couple local hackers to talk hardware, keygen music would bleed through the house, I watched documentaries and college lectures pirated off emule.
The deep dive is the ultimate exercise in cyber-spelunking, and, even as it feels natural for me, this is not the case for most.
We truly are in a land of the intrepid, the steppes that hide beyond the horizons of the social-media-citadels.

the net was my digital playground when i was young. anything i could get my hands on i was taking apart, modifying, creating. moderator of old BBcode forums and a TF2 server in college years, then got into Youtube. lately the net's been bogged down by greasy, greasy hands with moist pockets. disgusted, i've become more of an observer. lately though, i've become more interested in getting back in.

Just realised I never actually posted in my own thread. It's interesting to be a dataluxer from a family of them. Everyone I know pirates, teaches IT or sets up systems in some way. Even my sister. We have talks about DevOps over dinner. I think I first used the DOS command line when I was about 3 or 4. Experimental drugs from the Darkweb fucked with my head a bit and I stopped (2-ci) and I used to do a lot of psychedelics. Now I have a cat, a GF and a job. Such is life, I guess.

My first internet experience was born within my elementary school by experiencing various different pages of multimedia with supervision. By around 2006 I was able to browse online by myself where I played Flash games endlessly and watched various things on YouTube and Metacafe like meteor collisions, films uploaded in 15 parts, UFO and conspiracy videos in that same computer lab. People uploaded all kinds of shit not trying to act or be a commercialized product like the standard formula is for YouTube these days, and little me was there to watch a lot of it. I remember lying to my teacher just so I could sneak into the class and read up on how to get past the Barracuda webfilter, which is how I learned what IP addresses were and how the internet functionally works.
I owe the entire internal storage of most my mind's knowledge to the Internet. It has taught me many valuable lessons and has also taught me how to utilize myself. It taught me how to hate and detest innocent people - engaging in behavior like trolling facebook memorial pages because /b/ taught me to, or other various hub linked online. It also taught me how to love the other person in order to overcome the hate I used to spread. I have seen mind searingly horrifying things that I think about sometimes to this day, and I've also seen the start of many amazing things that have become staples of the internet. I've witnessed the cultural shift of the internet with the introduction of the iPhone in 2007, which I personally believe is the largest milestone in humanity - the start of a new stage of reality. It is changing peoples minds in the worst possible way to the point where I believe it is on the level of physically altering it. Dopamine driven feedback loops, endless platforms to hold deafened opinions, over commercialized interfaces and frontends, and overall wireheaded behavior that is pouring its effluent behavior into our realities. I weep for how the wonderful net of ould has been desecrated and manipulated in the most subtle way possible. I believe it is here on 3DT that the Network will birth a new era into the global cybersphere. An era of the art of Network Kombat, to restore the internet to it's faithful multimedia glory that once reigned society.

My experience with the net and life makes me feel both real old and real young. I've spent way too much time on the computer and online so I've got this real sense of experience and a lack of it. I was using random forums with bbcode in elementary school. Had obsessive sonic autism. Then I blink and I'm here now. My nights used to be youtube and imageboards and I wonder "what have i got to show for it?". There's a real insideous nature to spending your time online. A lot of it feels like a surrogate for a missing social real life. Now little forums are mostly gone and more and more it seems about corporations commodifying the soul. Then I have to realise that the problems were there from the start. Even before the web, early internet days. Every now and then i need to take a step back and revitalise.
The most cyberpunk thing you can do, as in the dystopian meaning of the word, is watching Bl*ck M*rror on N*tflix and then talking about it on R*ddit.

what clicked in my brain earlier today is that a place like this revitalizes the ambition needed for creative endeavors in a way that is naturally sapped from you with the tools they've given us to work with.
i felt a surge of genuine excitement thinking about videos i might make, not "because of Youtube and being a Youtuber" or some gay hustle shit but because i can embed the youtube videos here in the portal.
this community is going to be utilized for self-defense & conference on creative projects because frankly nowhere else online would feel as comfortable to do so in 20XX

Now I have a cat, a GF and a job. Such is life, I guess.
People have two fates: become a freak or become domesticated. No escaping either as far as I know, but all I can say is I'm gonna enjoy the rest of the time I have becoming neither. Still would rather become domesticated than become a freak though

been on the net since I was 4 when a family friend tossed me a compaq w/ an ati rage 128 because she didn't have a use for it , used it almost exclusively as a neopets machine. In the coming years a family friend would show me newgrounds, runescape, and funnyjunk (in that order). It was through this pipeline that I ended up a middleschooler that went on imageboards & played 1.6 & HL:DM pretty religiously. The family friend taught me to lurk & not be stupid on the internet, I learned this the hard way by being a squeaker on a CS:S servers & getting owned by mods. on imageboards I lurked probably until I was a middle schooler out of fear that I'd stick out like a sore thumb, despite having no such inhibitions in MMOs. To not bore w/ a long story, it's left me with the question of understanding my time in these places. I had witnessed the decline of these sorts of sites & forums as a bystander, all before I was "really" old enough to post on em.
There was a lot of inspirational work that I had found on the internet which led me to learn programming, (simple) video editing, etc.
I had used to think that later hs & uni was my "break" from the internet, since I had grown tired of how the web was shaping. I thought I I'd hop on voice comms w/ real life friends, kept a lightweight facade of a "social media presence" at most, scalp pdf's & music for my selection, but very sparsely interacted outside of tight-knit circles.Taking that break in HS was fine, you can get away w/ anything in HS, bitcoin miners on the workstations (this is a long story). Running into a kid at a party who claimed that he was part of anonymous, & setting a bios passwd on his laptop while he went to the restroom. Things like these don't require any real "internet presence" to accomplish. Yet at Uni, I had started to realize I was disconnecting for some wrong reasons. I caught a glimpse of an internet that could've been (should've been) & just got off when wireheads got to be too annoying instead of working towards what I wanted to see out of such an internet. Sure, keeping your head down at uni isn't had advice, but I could've definitely beefed up the side-work
So with 3DT it feels that I'm returning home in a way, no longer a boy, and I've been passed a torch.

Reading all your guys stories reminds me of the embarassing stuff I used 2 do 2 try to learn how to properly learn socialization via the Internet. I can't believe 2 this day I still didn't know how to properly talk to people without it, I used it as a prayer guide, never a crutch, but there is a feeling of regret that definitely I could of completed the world tour of myself with ease by just "paying attention in school" ///
But the hard way was 4 me and I never dwell past that, I think it's important for kids when they are younger 2 find a path most reliable 2 them, even if that means sitting on their ass via the computer expecting some response, if you have the right parents like I did (still austere and complacent in nature), I think most people will find ways through the social prisons that we are lumped into. Consequences reveal themselves early on, but nothing will ever replace the feeling of speaking a tongue most understand. Our words and spirit are our own, and the next few years will show for it. Trust me.

my complicated history with technology has forced me to improve myself. in real life, i was the class clown. i had many friends who would come to my window and my front door asking me to come out and play. i would refuse to answer, preferring to isolate myself and stay plugged into my proverbial dialysis machine of a computer tower. reading, searching, creating, downloading, and yet, always failing. i used the portal to project violent images of typical childish interests: cartoons, video games, professional wrestling. i began to recreate myself in my own chosen avatar image. this internet connection created a disconnect with my true self.
i give high praise to my loving father for affording me the time and space to make mistakes and grow with the advent of technology and the dot com industry. i silently knew that he resented my insistence on shunning basketball and instead choosing to teach myself photoshop, windows movie maker, goldwave, and HTML. he resisted his urges to tear me away from my data bank, and allowed me unsupervised freedom to roam the wild west of the internet at all hours of the night. he knew i would not become a porno freak, because he had faith. i thank him for this selflessness, as he felt that his son was being torn from him. this was not the case, however i didn't understand the depth of this situation at the time.
due to my unchecked anonymous open-world experience from 2001 to 2006, i had conditioned myself to navigate cyber social avenues quickly and efficiently. many tween years of pretending to be 18+ to fit into message boards aided my development and gave me a head start in the great iphone texting revolution. many a female was bedded in high school, thanks to the lessons taught to me by old head austrailian shit posters, the original trolls. by the age of the zuckening, i had grown to understand that i was no longer using the computer, and that the computer was using me.
i was forced to reflect upon this, that technology is simply a tool that i had allowed to envelope me. i immediately cut ties with cyber friends, some of whom have gone on to become infamous youtube wireheads and music pornographers with millions of wirehead followers. these "people" were malicious code, infecting and corrupting my files. however dreary the path has been, i am eternally thankful for the skills and abilities that i was anointed with, they opened up professional possibilities and relationships that helped me to unplug and become fully human again.
my complicated history with technology has forced me to improve myself. in real life, i was the class clown. i had many friends who would come to my window and my front door asking me to come out and play. i would refuse to answer, preferring to isolate myself and stay plugged into my proverbial dialysis machine of a computer tower. reading, searching, creating, downloading, and yet, always failing. i used the portal to project violent images of typical childish interests: cartoons, video games, professional wrestling. i began to recreate myself in my own chosen avatar image. this internet connection created a disconnect with my true self.

it really just depends how you use it. Wireheads constantly trying to get into your head can make the whole experience very unhealthy. You sort of have to learn to understand how "to use the internet" in order for you to actually start reaping the benefits of it. I only learned this 3 years ago so most of my internet experience has been mostly "meh"

One of my earliest memories of using the internet is watching LEGO stop motion videos on YouTube. I had made a few of my own (now lost media) after diskovering these videos.
