The potential for futuristic fight scene happening all around decker jacked into the matrix trying to unwind some wall of IC before it deletes their mind, sitting IRL unmoving and unresponsive to the madness around...
this is a good movie why doesn't it exist yet.
Maybe Ready Player One will make some room for cyberpunk.
you know what setting i want to see exploited
paranoia
make a paranoia crpg
itd be good i promise
You could make that work because reloading is basically getting a new clone. It could be meta-amusing.
Unfortunately you can't play Paranoia anymore because nobody gets the cold war jokes and the ominous tone rings like post-ironic communist memeing now, rather than it being a black comedic take on the actual communist police states that existed when the game was written.
Okay but Shadowrun is an incredibly goofy setting and Bright is supposed to be a less good riff on it? I mean what is the sales pitch here at all.
fake gamer guy desc doesn't even like shadowrun confirmed
shadowrun is a bad, corny setting full stop
rifts is also a bad setting that people try to convince themselves was fun
Rifts was so bad.
"Interdimensional invasion postapocalypse" is kind of an amazing pulpy setting concept, but they crammed in way too much stuff. That was kind of the point, but a more coherent approach would have been good.
Rifts was the star citizen of P&P, only difference is they released every one of their awful feature creep "We want this because sure" stuff. I did like the wormwood setting stuff.
I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.
cyberpunk has the insurmountable failing that trying to write hacking in an entertaining way isn't really possible without it being nonsense
life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies
I honestly admit I don’t understand the appeal of cyberpunk
are you talking about the game or the genre
the genre is just near-future sci-fi with a focus on the imminent dystopic consequences of our social, technological, and environmental progress/failures. more sober takes are very interesting and pointed; i think we'll see a lot of climate-change-related cyberpunk soon. the more gonzo stuff is just fun because it lets you have high tech gadgets while preserving an atmosphere of familiar plausibility

Someone I know said they liked Bright except for the shoehorned in race stuff, so I’m wondering what they actually liked
80% of the movie is a will smith buddy cop chase movie with some decent fight scenes.
How do they redeem him though:
I didnt give two shits about Wil's character. He came off as real world shit cop to me.
Oh he is what you say.
He doesn't shoot his partner when the corrupt cops ask him to and then he shoots them. Also gets emotional later in the movie on a major scene with the orc. But overall everyone in the movie is a shit.
Except Jakoby the orc. He is the only non-shit in the movie.

I would really just like to see a cyberpunk sci-fi heist film where a beefy lady with metal arms cuts a wealthy financier in half with some kind of absurd weapon that contains the word "nano" in its name
That's all I want
No elves pls
yes let's do some cyberpunk wetware black IC nonsense plz. Where is my Snow Crash adaptation?
no elves
Altered Carbon incoming!
Some days Blue wonders why anyone ever bothered making numbers so small; other days she supposes even infinity needs to start somewhere.
I finally saw the trailer for ready player one last week and yeah it actually does look as cringey as I heard
Also why is Tracer in it
cause blizzard paid them money

It was all munchkins all the time.
and I wonder about my neighbors even though I don't have them
but they're listening to every word I say
I prefer the shotgun approach when I'm already employed.
I write a resume that actually represents me and my skills and what I want to do, instead of tailoring it to each employer.
I figure then if someone likes me it'll actually work out and be a good job.
So yes. What I do, and I've had good success with it, is to keep 5 variants of my resume based on the type of work that they want. 1 for super nintendo 1 for sr. project manager 1 for project manager/engineer and 1 for project manager / super nintendo. And it pretty much covers every tailored example I would need. Mostly because it is accomplishment based, with keywords snaked in.

Ready Player One was written for my gen mainly. I will watch the movie and most likely enjoy it because Spielberg does good work. I liked the book too. Not life changing prose but enjoyable weekend read.

I can understand throwing initial money at Star Citizen and being hopeful
but..
trying to sell people on the now canon definition of feature creep (and IMO embezzlement) is..creepy

Part of the problem of cyberpunk as a genre is that it's something that is firmly rooted in the 80s, when the stuff we imagined about computers were merely speculative and not, you know, frickin' reality. It's becoming more "alternate history" and less "speculative science-fiction" with each passing year. The themes are still relevant, such as man's inhumanity to man, the encroachment of technology on the integrity of the human mind and body, increased class disparity, but these are things that are also seriously discussed in the present.

are you telling me you have a differing take on something popular?
do go on
this is a good movie why doesn't it exist yet.
Maybe Ready Player One will make some room for cyberpunk.
especially the author of the book
It looks like Lord of the Rings meets Heat
friend o mine read it recently.
it stinks.

It has cyber!
It has punk!
I don’t know how to make that any more amazing!
Characters saying they're 'Jacking in' makes people titter to themselves.

It is called, "What the hell did I just read?"
Genre, especially with high-fantasy elements
Oh he is what you say.
Except Jakoby the orc. He is the only non-shit in the movie.

Mother of Storms was written like 20 years ago!

If indie devs can make a best-selling video game about a border crossing guard, indie devs can make a video game about hacking.
