You forgot firearm vending machines and rampant gang violence.

MODERATORS
In real life we had cybernetic implants shut down by corporations because they weren't profitable enough.
I don't think there's anything more cyberpunk than that.
We could definitely use more neon though. Might have to look into WLED and light strips again.
Or worse, your implants start getting repo'd by said corpos. And there's no Jude Law.
2010 repomen movie...
Also you don't have cyberdecks with 40mm microCD drives but smartphones without expendable storage.
Left is advertising, right is actual result
I wanted star trek but I got cyberpunk.
there are plenty of cybernetic implants that do not work anymore because the company that makes them refuses to update them so that part is totally already a thing
We do have Elon Musk brain implants now. Any takers? Didn't think so. You do not want to go cyberpunk
70s, 80s and 90s were absolute peak Western world and we should go back there and live there forever.
inb4 life was worse because "insert irrelevant shit no one cares about here"
Define "Western world".
EU (including UK) + US + AUS + NZ.
Good thing we aren't in EU, lol.
In Matrix the robots said that 1999 was the peak of human civilization, maybe they were into something.
If you're going to make me live in a dystopia, then there better be a cool aesthetic at least.
Fuck neon, LEDs, all that bright shit spoiling the night. Razor-sharp splashes of light pollution is not an aesthetic, they are an eyestrain and an ad space. My homies enjoy old districts and wilderness where they can relax and see the stars for once.
That doesn't sound very dystopian
definitely seems like weve been ripped off
Reality check: Life's more "flickering office bulb" than "cyberpunk neon dream." Guess we're stuck in Blade Runner: Budget Cut Edition.
That real "we have cyberpunk at home" aesthetic
My grandpa's pacemaker has beef with being left out of the, "cool cybernetic implants," category.
We already have cool cybernetic implants. We also have even cooler corporate greed and a massive lack of right-to-repair laws so that you can get stuck with a deactivated implant!
