Guys I have a great comic book idea:Talented, optimistic engineer develops bright new tech, before being exploited by megacorp. In the heat of his betrayal, heel-turns to a mad scientist, instead developing autonomous killer drones and a VR video game system that kills its losers by blowing their heads up with explosives.

If this sounds too cliche for you, I have great news:This is the actual bio for Palmer Luckey, the Oculus Rift founder who was acquired and fired by zuckerberg, and now leads defence contractor Arundel, the NixOS conference sponsor everyone is mad about.

@kline Well otherwise it sounds like a story you'd get with putting something like .hack and Serial Experiments Lain together, in fact I'm pretty sure I've seen a show similar to it.

@kline dude seemed all kinds of twisted even before the Facebook acquisition if I recall correctly. But I suppose it didn’t help

@kline I'm not sure how I should explain this, but I think it should be common sense to put a CW on a Post about *blowing people's head's up*.
