Roll a D10 Companies of Quality

 

The big corporations have the corner on the mass market. But their stuff is cranked out by the millions and everything looks the same. Plus the quality can sometimes take a hit as well. But there is always room for smaller companies to come in with highly specific areas of expertise. When you walk around with work by these folks you get notices for your style and for using the best.

Remember is you like the posts you see here you can always buy the blogger a Coffee to show your support. 

Here we go. Ten companies that are of high quality. 

1 – Urban Rapture. Makers of specialized, high quality firearms. Most are custom ordered for the buyers very specific demands.

2 – Flesh Grinder. They make very deadly melee weapons with all sorts of features. From things that spray blood when they hit to poison injectors.

3 – Hardshell. Body armor that is custom fitted to the buyer. Measurements are taken and every thing from load bearing points to flexibility is figured in.

4 – Power Projects. Makers of experimental powered armor and load reducing worn robotics.

5 – Shogun. Street bikes and riding gear with a kick. You want to go fast and look the top of the line at the same time? These are the folks.

6 – Inner Voice. The go too experts for personal communications technology. Producing the most reliable and malleable squad level communication equipment available.

7 – Lancer Tools. When a Techie needs to tools for his job, these are the people they can trust.

8 – New Atlantis. Premier makers of cyberspace technology and software. Also hosting on the most stable and popular virtual locations in the net.

9 – Hardwire. When your custom cyberware specifications go way beyond the normal these are the folks to hire for the job. Doing the most outrageous cyber mods in the world today.

10 – Nu U. If you need to change your appearance these are the sculptors you want. From simple nips and tucks to full on height adjustment and even full gender change. They are the best.

Roll a D10 - Modifications in a Techies car

 

I decided to have a bit more fun with this one. How about ten random things a Techie has done to their ride. Because we all know that they aren't going to run around in anything that is stock.

Modifications you may find on a Techies ride.

1 – Custom fitted hidden drop down armor for the windows and along the inside of the body.

2 – An electro scanner that pics up higher than normal power usage and charts it on a map used by multiple other techies.

3 – A rear facing scrambler that interferes with various frequencies of wireless communication.

4 – A mobile fold out repair bay built into their trunk.

5 – Faraday cage built into the backseat to throw salvaged or looted electronics in to prevent them from being traced.

6 – Multiple dash-cams facing every direction and kept in constant contact with a server via cellular towers.

7 – An amalgamation of agents/cell phones that are all shown as ‘driving’ to traffic monitoring apps. So it always sees a traffic jam and redirects other drivers away from wherever the Techie is driving.

8 – An anti-pursuit system built into the trunk. It launches full sized bricks covered in an instant adhering paste onto the pavement behind the vehicle as it’s driving.

9 – Full on old style no electronics gas guzzling land beast of a car. With a built in EMP device that has a range of 50 foot radius all around it. Can be used while driving of course.

10 – A full on radio hacker that hacks into the car radios of those around you and tunes them to the station, or streaming service, the Techie prefers.

Weekly Health 11/18/24

 

Starting weight: 362

Weigh in this week: 354.5

Edit: Did a reweigh three times. Stayed the same weight. Kind of a let down but at least I didn't go up.

I haven't said much about having to deal with being on a CPAP while I sleep now. But nothing much has changed. Still having issues getting used to it. Some nights are good, some nights are bad. I will admit on good nights when I get a good chunk of sleep I can tell the difference in how I feel when I wake up. But it's getting that good nights sleep on a regular basis which is the problem. 

Stress levels have been up this week due to certain things. But that is temporary and will pass at some point. But I could feel that blood pressure spike that's for sure.
