Para informarles y que tengan mucho cuidado.
El día de ayer fui a cenar a las Aliadas con mi chica y un amigo, al bajar íbamos a tomar el corredor que da para el OXXO y nos intercepta un chavillo con un radio preguntándonos a dónde íbamos, que el OXXO ya estaba cerrado. Total, procedimos a irnos por el lado que da al Palax, casi llegando al Palax nos grita un tipo gordo y con mariconera que a dónde vamos 2 veces, yo le respondo que si lo conozco? Que a él que le interesa a dónde vamos, de forma prepotente me dice que si yo soy el de un carro City muchas veces, que no me puedo ir y que me va a bloquear la salida (nosotros íbamos en didi). De esa idea no lo sacamos y se puso cafa vez más violento, nos amenazó con hablarle a no se quién, y se metía la mano a la mariconera como si fuera a sacar una pistola a cada rato, hasta le hablamos a un policía y el policía ni hizo nada (hasta parecía con miedo el policía). Esa persona es de los que se encargan del estacionamiento de la plaza andenes. No se con quien estén coludidos o trabajando con quién, pero queda claro que son criminales, a un amigo le robaron su motocicleta ahí en el estacionamiento, está claro que son de los mismos. Por favor, tengan cuidado y no dejen a sus hijos o personas queridas ir a esa plaza. No saben lo que pueda pasar.

As I like to brag about things I buy, here's my collection od Cyberpunk-branded stuff, excluding digital goods.
I don't like dust collectors, so my collection lacks figurines or keychains. I prefer physical media that I can enjoy by flipping pages and watching pictures. Collection is still incomplete, my ambitions won't let me rest until I waste all my money for more stuff with "Cyberpunk 2077" logo on it.
Night City Radio Deluxe Vinyl Set
To start with the most recent hunt: Radio Deluxe Vinyl Set includes two bright yellow-colored records and 12-inch felt turntable slipmat with radiostations logos (too big for my turntable) and extra packaging. Tracklist includes "No Save Point", "Night City", "PonPon Shit", "Delicate Weapon", "I Really Want To Stay At Your House", "Hole In The Sun" and others. The only flaw is lack of "Makes Me Feel Better" in the songs selection.
Edgerunners Vinyl Soundtrack and Phantom Liberty Vinyl OST
Yellow vinyl strikes again in more vibrant, lemonish version. There's an Edgerunners logo with sandevistan visual effect from the show printed on the both labels. Package includes two-sided sleeve with David Martinez and Lucy, OBI-like strip, cardboard insert with Lucy art and credits. Track listing includes "This Fffire" by Franz Ferdinand, which is opening theme from the show, Akira Yamaoka compositions and selections of songs from the anime and the game by Marcin Przybyłowicz and P.T. Adamczyk, like "Cloudy Day". The songlist is crowned with "Let Me Down" by Dawid Podsiadło.
Phantom Liberty OST has very similar packaging - Vinyl and cardboard insert with Songbird art, tracklist, credits and note from composers P.T. Adamczyk and Jacek Paciorkowski. I find this one more appealing visually, probably because of elegance of black and red mix and classic black vinyl, compared to Edgerunners' edgy yellow. The record's opening "I'm a Netrunner" gives the chills, there's no better track to start audio from Phantom Liberty. It also features "Hardest to Be" and Idris Elba "Choke Hold". Again, the final track of the compilation is Dawid Podsiadło's song titled "Phantom Liberty". Only thing I'd like this release to have is "Phantom Liberty" lyrics printed on the insert.
Cyberpunk 2077 3LP Soundtrack box set
This one is special, it's a 100-pieces limited copy signed by Marcin Przybyłowicz and P.T. Adamczyk. It includes a selection of OST tracks, with "V theme", "Rebel Path", "The Streets Are Long-Ass Guts", "Wushu Dolls", "Scavenger Hunt", "Patridiots", "Been Good To Know Ya", "Never Fade Away feat. Olga Jankowska". Also, it features Samurai EP in badass gatefold package, with brief info about Refused band.
vinyl collection in whole
In regard of music, the only thing I'm missing is Kerry Eurodyne's guitar, because the gonk who initially wanted to sell it to me changed his mind and now is straight up lying that someone stole it from his apartament. Also, original Johnny Silverhand's Deluze Orphean signed by famous actor Keanu Reeves was sold at charity auction in 2023 for ~7700 usd.
When it comes to other media, I mostly own paper - comicbooks and artbooks.
(comic)books
My cellulose set includes (left to right, top to bottom):

• "No Coincidence" by Rafał Kosik;
• "World of Cyberpunk" in both regular and deluxe versions - the deluxe one is exactly the same as basic version, but comes with set of gadgets like extra cardboard packaging, custom textured cover with Night City map art, temporary tats (XD), Johnny Silverhand poster and vehicles postcards. Funny thing is, it's more difficult now to buy regular version than deluxe one;
• Limited edition of official game's guide coming with premium access code for Piggyback interactive map;
• Limited "Art of Cyberpunk 2077" artbook - 216 pages of concept arts explaining different fashion styles, gangs design, some weaponery concepts, cars and main and side characters. It's basically physical, richer version of official digital artbook, and as far as I know it's the same one that was included in collector's edition. It's fascinating thing to see for one reason - some of character concepts visible on artbook's pages evolved into ingame characters in basically unchanged visual form;
• Steelbook;
• DVD box including OST on CD;
• "Your Voice" comicbook in hard cover - I don't know much about this edition, why it is so small and where it was initially released. It's in polish, smells like poligraphic chemicals and it's the same thing as its bigger brother. Definitely rarest and most mysterious thing in my collection, if someone knows its origin, please share your wisdom;
• Comicbooks - Trauma Team, Where's Johnny, Your Voice, Big City Dreams, You Have My Word and Blackout;

And that would be it. My next objectives are upcoming comicbooks and maybe collector's edition. Steelbooks would be nice addition too.

On this day 116 years ago in Kharkov Nikolay Dmitrievich Pilchikov – scientist-physicist, inventor in the field of radio engineering, author of works on optics, terrestrial magnetism, electrical and radio engineering, radioactivity, X-rays, electrochemistry, geophysics, meteorology – was shot in the heart.
At about seven o’clock in the morning of 6 May 1908, a shot rang out in a ward of an expensive Kharkov hospital. Breaking open the door locked from the inside, the doctors saw its only patient – it seemed that his life had been cut short in his sleep. The man was lying in his bunk, as if he hadn’t woken up yet. And if not for the bloodstain on his chest, no one would have realised the tragedy. A revolver lay on the tea-table beside the bed. It was from this revolver that the bullet that had pierced the scientist’s heart had been fired. Could a man who was undergoing medical treatment have carefully placed the gun beside his tea glass and folded his arms across his chest after shooting himself at point-blank range? Nevertheless, the “cadaver book” records ruled the death a suicide.
For some reason forensic experts did not do dactyloscopy – the investigation was not puzzled by fingerprints on the black “bulldog”, which became the murder weapon. And the authoritative professor Nikolai Bokarius, whose name now bears the local Institute of Forensic Medicine, even described Pilchikova’s case in a textbook for lawyers and doctors as an example of temporary purposeful capacity of suicides with fatal gunshot wounds in the heart area. At that, the luminary recommended to take into account not only anatomical features of the injury, but also the functional state of the central nervous system. The picture was completed by the conclusion of pathologists, who found in the killed after the autopsy of the corpse modifications in the structure of the brain.
A purely “police” justification for not considering the murder version was the fact that the incident took place in a locked room on the first floor (as if this could be an obstacle to unauthorised entry).
And a week after the scientist’s death, on 13 May 1908, the head of the police department received a report from the head of the Kharkov security service about the unreliability of the “extreme leftist” Professor Pilchikov, who was known for his active participation in “criminal agitation activities of engineering students”. This was confirmed by a search of the scientist’s house, during which propaganda literature from the period of the first Russian revolution of 1905 was found.
What was Professor Pilchikov doing before he was “worked out” by the police? The scientific fate of Nikolai Dmitrievich was as unusual as his death was mysterious and the fate of outstanding discoveries inexplicable.
The scientist, whose life was cut short at the age of 51, was not only a physicist, but also a lyricist: he was no less talented in composing poetry, painting pictures and playing the violin. But he considered his life’s work to be his scientific career, which was unusually successful.
The son of a public and cultural figure, who was a friend of Taras Shevchenko, was born on 9 May 1857 in Poltava, and already during his studies in gymnasium showed remarkable abilities in exact sciences. Entering the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics of Kharkiv University, he experimented in new at that time experiments in the field of sound recording, while still a student invented an electric phonograph.
After graduation, the graduate was left to work at the Department of Physics. His first scientific monograph was devoted to optical analysis. Later the scientist made a number of discoveries on the topics of scattered light polarisation and atmospheric ionisation, atmospheric electricity and geomagnetism, radioactivity and X-rays. Pilchikov was awarded the Silver Medal from the Russian Geographical Society for a series of studies of the Kursk Magnetic Anomaly, during which iron ore deposits near Prokhorovka were predicted.

After defending his thesis at the University of St. Petersburg, the master of physics was appointed privat-docent of the Kharkov University, and two years later he went to practice at a magnetic observatory in Paris, where he discovered flaws in the design of the seismograph and offered his mentors a way to correct them.
Soon the young professor of Kharkov University becomes famous outside Russia, becoming a regular at international scientific conferences and a member of the Toulouse Academy of Sciences.
Nikolay Pilchikov returned to Kharkov as a university professor, where he created a meteorological station that still exists today. To study the upper atmosphere, the professor developed a stratostat and then a high-altitude spacesuit to equip the pilot. The atmospheric optics researcher created his own seismograph and designed equipment to determine magnetic pressure.
Having moved for some time to Odessa (to work at the Imperial Novorossiysk University), in 1894 the scientist invented an original lamp for the study of X-rays, called “Pilchikov’s focus tube”. The optical and galvanic version of the study of electrolysis developed by him made it possible to obtain images on metal plates – so the inventor became the author of electrophotography or photogalvanography.
And on 25 March 1898, Nikolai Pilchikov demonstrated for the first time a device working with radio waves of a certain length and rejecting interference. During his experiments in Odessa he lit a lighthouse with the help of radio waves and moved a railway semaphore, blew up a yacht and made a cannon fire.
The scientist characterised his contribution to radio physics as follows: while Popov and Marconi were looking for a way to transmit a signal over the greatest possible distance, he was solving the problem of cutting off wireless power transmission from extraneous electrical waves. Thus appeared the first device with a protector – a security filter, allowing only the waves addressed to it to reach the mechanism and protecting the equipment from atmospheric and radio interference. The scientist not only designed and manufactured different types of the first protectors, but also tested them in practice.
With the help of his revolutionary device, Professor Pilchikov made it possible to create radio-controlled mine boats that could sink enemy ships without a crew and fire on enemy targets. In proposing the idea to the Russian military, the inventor characterised it as a way of detonating objects at a considerable distance without cables or other visible communication.
Applying for financial assistance from the military department, Pilchikov planned to spend 15,000 roubles on laboratory equipment, manufacture of devices and their testing with the support of the Sevastopol naval forces. For his part, the scientist undertook to keep the know-how in strict secrecy and not to publish any information about the development in scientific literature. As a result, this circumstance may have contributed to the fact that the scientist’s works disappeared and he himself may have been eliminated.
Military engineers discussed the professor’s petition for research funds with reference to foreign experience. Specialists compared Pilchikov’s achievements with the developments of foreign scientists experimenting with wireless telegraph, to whom the authorities did not refuse anything. For example, Preece was authorised for experiments by the postal department of England, Marconi obtained in 1897 large sums of money from the naval department of Italy, and the Berlin scientist Slaby received aeronautical parks, watercraft and troops of the Potsdam garrison from the Emperor of Germany. Pilchikov, on the other hand, had a much more extensive programme and was naturally expected to produce the most ambitious results.
On his return to Kharkov in 1902, the professor continued his research in the best-equipped physical laboratory of those times, the local University of Technology. He was also allocated a ship “Dnestr” and funds for marine experiments. On the ship in 1903 the scientist equipped a receiving radio station, and on the Chersonese lighthouse – transmitting.
Alas, neither the scheme of those protectors, nor the content of the experiments, nor their further fate are known today. In the archives we found only information about a letter of gratitude to Professor Pilchikov from the Commander of the Pacific Fleet. It was dated the beginning of September 1904. It is clear that in the midst of the war with Japan secret military developments could be of interest to both belligerents. Moreover, other external enemies were also interested in preventing Russia’s military advantage.
Professor Pilchikov’s research competed with American experiments in the Maritime Ministry under Tesla, who was also working on the task of wireless control of a minelayer from the shore. This is a case in science when “an idea is in the air” and the same discovery is independently made by scientists at different ends of the world.
It is believed that the first radio-controlled telemechanical system in the world was developed by Nikola Tesla – he patented and presented an unprecedented ship model in the summer of 1898, but came to the discovery the day before, in spring. And “Russian Tesla” Nikolai Pilchikov tested a similar invention in March of the same year, which was reported in a note in the “Odessa Review”, which for some reason remained unnoticed by the scientific community.
The “two Nicholas” had a lot in common, despite the fact that they lived and created on different continents. Scientists were almost the same age. Both had no family – neither wives nor close relatives. Both were undividedly attracted to physical science – the mysteries of radioactivity, X-rays and lightning. But to Pilchikov did not appear one day George Westinghouse with a million dollars for four dozen patents. And an understanding friend, as Tesla had in the person of Katharine Johnson, next to Nikolay Dmitrievich was not there either…
Being left without further state support, Pilchikov could not complete the work on his wireless protector. In 1905 he left to observe the solar eclipse in Algeria, from where he returned with failing health. Ill-health was aggravated by an acute feeling of loneliness.
1908 was a fateful year in the fate of the scientist. It was the best time of the year, the beginning of May, a time of intoxication with life and romantic dreams. But for Pilchikov, the “delight of nature” had no inspiring meaning: five days before his own birthday, he went to a psychoneurological clinic. And it happened under very mysterious circumstances.
According to police reports, the owner of a private hospital and a well-known doctor I. Y. Platonov received a call from an unknown man on 3 May with a request to hospitalise Nikolai Dmitrievich Pilchikov. It was asked to prepare a separate room where the patient would be alone.
When the professor appeared in the clinic, the doctors saw nothing critical in his condition. He was elegantly dressed, and in his hands held a suitcase with papers. Two days later, a shot rang out in the ward, and the papers were gone. Not a single piece of his war work was found among his household belongings. The blueprints of inventions of world importance, which the scientist had not even had time to patent, disappeared.
Wasn’t the murder then the final fat point in the planned operation? And didn’t the inventor-physicist take with him to the ward what the special services hunting for his military developments were tracking down?
Perhaps it was in the hospital that Nikolai Pilchikov, who had a premonition of trouble, tried to hide from his threatening pursuers? Or maybe they put him there so that it would be easier to realise what they had planned? And who were these mysterious killers?..
We will probably never get answers to these questions. But it is known how the brilliant ideas of the tragically departed scientist were put into practice.
In 1913, the first radio-controlled aeroplane took to the skies. Four years later, a German boat controlled from a plane blew up the quay in the English harbour of Newport. In the same year, 1917, a German ship was damaged by a British minelayer guided from a radio-controlled aeroplane. In 1925 the first mine without wires appeared. And in 1943 the Soviet troops destroyed the Nazi headquarters with General von Braun in Kharkov occupied by the enemy by controlled explosion from Voronezh.
Radio warfare has long been supplemented by radio defence, where the first role is played by devices like Pilchikov’s protectors. Thanks to radio defence, in 1944 the British were invulnerable to German fighters in the Libyan desert. Radio locks of increased complexity are used in satellite navigation and launching systems for space and military rockets. And all responsible radio electronic equipment is protected from interference by modern devices working on the principle of Professor Pilchikov’s protector – the “Russian Tesla”, who became a hindrance to someone himself…
