No matter how much he pointed to his white beard as proof, the witch didn't believe Grumbles when he insisted he wasn't a child and wouldn't taste good in a nice meat pie.

How about:

I wasn't creeped out while watching a true crime documentary on TV late one night about a brutal murder until they showed a picture of the crime scene and the victim. It was a picture of me in my living room and the TV was showing a true crime documentary.

I was referring to the 1994 version.

Have you read the Ghost Rider 2099 comics by Len Kaminski? The art is good too, but Kaminski's writing and cyberpunk stylings is inspired and inspiring.

It's a great collection. There's a good variety of topics and styles and if you don't like one story, there's always another. Some of my favorite authors are included like Gibson, Sterling, Cadigan, Doctorow, and Stephenson. It's got a nice breadth to it such that lesser known authors could get included rather than only settling for the more well-known names and reprinted stories you might have already read elsewhere.

Note: they dropped the 360. It's just Autodesk Fusion now.

I've got a story in the Big Book of Cyberpunk called Keep Portland Wired. Here's the blurb:

In an anarcho-capitalist near-future Portland, the government is extinct, corporations own everything, the poor with no credit score can’t even cross the street safely, and dissident punks race stolen rideable drones in dangerous rooftop competitions. Kal, a member of a local punk collective, finds that she can’t escape her past, no matter how hard she glides over the ruins of Portland’s landmarks.

When one hard-boiled officer by the name of Benedict was asked to comment about the egg poaching, he said, "I don't think this theft will go over easy."

Ironically, instead of "prescribing against," it seems like you mean proscribing.

I do play games, but I also work on creative projects and watch shows/movies on my computer. I use Illustrator to create typeface designs, graphic design for laser cutting or stickers, 3D modeling and slicing programs for my 3D printer, Google Docs for writing, coding for Raspberry Pi and Arduino projects, et al.

Thinking about it more, we also encountered it in literature classes.

 

Aside from my poor camera operation, this crow was alerting to something that was very concerning.
