Xavier’s Link was 100% today.
Allow me to introduce you to another voice in my head, “the Angel,” - whose optimism is often crushed by the Demon. The two fiercely debated the day that awaited as he did his at-home morning workout…
“Lucky us! We got a big date today with a real woman! And a mysterious new drug to try…” The Angel beamed optimistically.
“Are you really going to risk getting a citation that could result in expulsion from Support just for a date with a girl who is probably a hooker? There’s NO way she will sleep with you.” The Demon brooded.
She certainly didn’t seem like a hooker, and she actually asked me out, so she might be interested in me!
“Do you think you can handle a real woman like that? If she so much as touches your arm, your biosigns will be through the stratosphere.” The Demon reminded him.
Well, the drug Yuri is giving me is supposed to counteract that; keep me relaxed and tranquil. If the drug works, it’s worth meeting her.
Xavier’s cost-benefit analysis was complete, and his confidence was bolstered by the increasingly muscular man who stared him back in the body-length mirror.
Lately, some people have been remarking that I must go to the gym a lot. Truth is, I haven’t been to a gym in about a decade and a half! For the past year, I’ve been doing surprisingly simple 10-minute variable resistance sessions in my living room with just a bar and some bands, with blood-flow restriction bands around the muscle groups I’m working on that day. Variable resistance, without joint lockout, pushing all the way to failure in a set stimulates muscle growth like nothing else. Arduously pumping iron in the gym or sweating like a pig doing cardio is a waste of time, Dear Reader!
It's often referred to affectionately as buckyballs, but for the sake of brevity, I'll refer to it from here on as C60.
Ten years ago, I started writing a cyberpunk/sci-fi thriller about a Biohacking cybercriminal named "Nero" who gets entangled with two beautiful Colombian twins while trying to save the world from the same comet that destroyed Atlantis 12,800 years ago.
I imagined there would one day be digital tools to bring this story to life, as vivid as it was in my own head. And here we are.

The eWM Classic mode is my favorite and closest to the original N-Back task, with the N-back box replaced with faces with a variety of expressions. The verbal data you need to store in your working memory is sprinkled with emotional phrases: hammer, door, hate, auto, rape, bird, circus, smile...
You have to purposefully ignore the emotional data and just record the audio and visual sequences in the RAM of your mind.
