so i woke up this morning and looked out my window and saw

cyberpunk2020.jpg
cyber pirates had taken over the meatspace!

and so i put on my news reading outfit and jacked into the net

cyberpunk-13_350.jpg

found this story about a girl throwing a sweet 16 party in the netherlands to which 30,000 people showed up because she forgot to make the facebook invitation private. riot police all showed up and drunken people basically took over some shitty little town for a night
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-19684708

that is snow crash as fuck

what evidence do you guys have that we're living in a whacky future out of a 1990's scifi novel

    I don't use paper money, my only phone fits in the palm of my hand, and I'm posting this on a glorified sheet of paper while sitting on the toilet.

    I had a conversation on Skype with my friends

    Said friends were in NY

    I was on the toilet

    Immediately after the conversation ended, I realized: the future is here.

    Yup. Toilet Internet is basically the pinnacle of the information age.

    It wasn't a dream.

    It was an advertisement on the brain net.

    I played Saints Row the Third, a 3D, open-world crime game, with EdCrab who was living in another country on another continent in a completely different time-zone. In the game we were driving in the same car and shooting evil gangsters side-by-side and speaking over voice-chat while dubstep played.

    Yes, this is your cyberpunk reality.

    Unfortunately, it's even dumber than the fiction.

    so if you click the activity tab up at the top of the page you can see which people have changed their avatars recently

    and if you scroll down a bit you'll find that forum user @Angry

    for a split second

    changed his avatar to a (possibly cum-covered) woman holding a dick

    Corporatism, wireless worldwide communication and data transfer, killer robots

    Granted I haven't seen anyone with pop-out built in knives in their hands but that doesn't sound remotely infeasible to me. Future

    After seeing the way people drive, I constantly wonder why people don't cross their fingers and hope fervently that the flying car is never invented.

    Nuclear fuzz-grunge is really more analogous to, like, Quebecois post rock.
