Content warnings for this episode include: mention of suicide, graphic and disturbing violence, strangling, imagery that may involve blood, guts, and bodily mutilation—not for the faint of heart; sadomasochism, sexual innuendos, alienation, suffering in a virtual disembodied purgatory, psychological abuse, verbal abuse, and being on hold with your health insurance company for an ungodly amount of time

Why? You can and should listen to "Cybernetics" (Glitch in the Waitrix 25) because it has important lore and is a stepping stone for the forthcoming Episode 25 – Cyborg B. Unlike most Glitches in the Waitrix, this one released to Hell-hackers and Dreamwalkers, *then all listeners*. It contains lore. It's a stepping stone to Ep. 25.

A jolly good end of 2023 to you, denizen!
Join me for our celebration of the show’s third birthday with a full director’s commentary-laden listen through of the show with Q&A and hijinks on MY birthday!
Follow me on Twitch, save the date, and set the reminder at the following link for Saturday, the 27th of January 2024 at 1pm EST. Click: https://www.twitch.tv/hotcomic/schedule?seriesID=d423d4ed-bb57-49c9-8b50-32959a53f869
If you’re in need of solace, I get it. I’ve lost two friends this month and I’m still processing everything. You might appreciate my recent public Patreon post titled, “Jolly Holidays”. It addresses the push-pull of family gatherings and our attempts to martial merriment.
With that said, I hope you’ve been enjoying Season 2 – Codename COMPANION. “Debt” (Side A), the 19th episode blasted out to patrons on Saturday and everyone else on Sunday; and, like the rest of this season, I believe it represents some of my best work. May it brighten your day or ease you into a cozy night by the glow of a yuletide fire (or mobile device), whatever best warms your heart.
…
Have you shared Hell Gate City with a friend or likeminded group chat?
I recommend sharing this trippy YouTube video version of “Cypher” and that you subscribe to our youtube while you’re at it.
And, if you have enjoyed the show, and it’s within your means, subscribe to our Patreon and join the community for a whole bundle of goodies.
Paying patrons get access to a growing library of ‘Glitch in the Matrix’ bonus tales, sacred tunes, deluxe scripts, and more… like my award-winning feature documentary, Shadow of a Bout. For everyone who subscribes till the end of the year – regardless of the tier – you get a copy.
All hell-hackers who joined in 2023 will get a private youtube link – you’ll just need to have a youtube account, which is automatic if you have a gmail.
Also, for the next few days only, you can just buy Shadow of a Bout outright for $9.95 a 66.7% discount, to make it as easy and accessible as possible for those who’ve wanted to see it and share it with friends.
And, I’m extending the offer till year’s end that if you join as a free member to our Patreon, I’ll shoot you a link to a free bonus tale (Just have an email address and join before 2024!).
As mentioned, we currently have 12 patrons (🙏 you rock!) — a 140% increase since the launch of S2 — and if we can get to 25 paid subscribers by year’s end, I’ll create a rad alternate ending to our Halloween Special “Baba Yaga O’Riley”, inspired by that song by The Who folks call Teenage Wasteland.
Rate and review the show on Spotify and Apple! For the rest of 2023 if you shoot me a screenshot of your review or five-star rating, or even post it on socials and tag me, I’ll shoot you a link to the uncut version of this tale.
If you haven’t noticed, I’ve poured my heart and soul into this show… I’d feel silly if more people never got the chance to bask in all of its facets. Which is why you can finally preview all ‘Glitch in the Waitrix’ bonus episodes crafted for members of our Patreon here.
• Futokoro-gatana (‘secret advisor’ in Japanese) – Let’s workshop! Consult with me on the phone. Plus, you’ll get a free copy of the handy Guide for Audio Dramatists e-book
• Ace – Request the original artwork for a given episode and it will be held for you upon signing up and sent to you shortly after you pay for the second month. Actually, no. I just decided this today especially for listeners. This is ONLY if you sign up before January 2024 – you can acquire a piece of original episode art after paying for just the first month. So, half off.
See the public Art page on Patreon (LINKED in the show notes as with all of these suggestions of links I’ve mentioned). There you’ll find detailed images, media, dimensions, and availability. (+ Includes all benefits of Futokuro-Gatana).
