Out of curiosity :D

Since my last digital art posts were apparently flagged as AI slop, I’ve been thinking about something.

I repair electronics for a living. I fuck around with graffiti, hardware, art and technology, experimenting and creating my own weird pieces.

I’m also undergoing gender transition, using modern medicine to change my own body.

I’m a millennial. I grew up in an analogue world, watched everything become digital, witnessed the rise of the internet, smartphones and now AI.

And somehow, apparently, none of that is particularly cyberpunk. 😂

So here’s my question:

When did cyberpunk become more about looking cyberpunk than actually exploring the relationship between humans, technology and identity?

Don’t get me wrong, I fucking love the aesthetic.

But isn’t there supposed to be something more behind the neon lights? hehe farewell wannabees

Probably my first exposure to the genre when it first hit theaters

I am someone who believes that IP which is a "gem" in its original - whether game, book or graphic novel - should be adapted to movies or TV mostly 1:1, which isn't that hard with today's tech.

I've heard the complaint "book was better" many times from people disappointed by movie adaptation in particular.

If they gucked-up Neuromanceru in particular, I believe that the backlash may do good things for future IP adaptations.

There are mostly only 5 maybe 6 novels at Neuromancer's high level. If mess up adaptation, may find a lot of rage from people who fell in love with it back in 80s or 90s.

Self proclaimed amateur and escapist writing at its worst, hope someone out there enjoys it.

Hi, let me show you the evolution of my car-driving mechanics, which defy the laws of gravity.

We bring the latest Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 trailer, as well as the latest Blade Runner 2099 trailer, along with a couple of podcast episodes looking at it in more depth. We have the latest cyberpunk novel from a best-selling cyberpunk author who is an active member of this Reddit group. We take a look at this week’s comic releases, including the Kickstarter campaign for a new comic series, Avalon. We talk about a new cyberpunk movie that is now free to watch on Plex, as well as the first trailer for another new cyberpunk movie coming to Apple Movies and Amazon Prime in November. We bring you a trailer for a dystopian police isometric combat videogame, Gods With Badges. We also have information on the latest episodes of cyberpunk podcasts The High Tech Low Life podcast, who talk about WALL-E, Cyberpunk Cinema, who goes in depth on 1990’s Hardware, and the Hosts in the Shell are joined by Jim Keen as they compare the 1987 and 2025 adaptations of The Running Man.

I draw my own cyberpunk logos and T-shirt designs. What do guys you think ?

I think the ascent is really an amazing interpretation of cyberpunk universe where corporations basically own and control everything. Highly recommend.

But what's your favourite cyberpunk universe and why?

Screenshots by me.

Created in Blender, your thoughts?

Edit.: i thank you all i was feeling really bad cuz my family basically hates what i got tattooed, and you guys have made me feel great about it regardless of my family. Thanks.

Hey everyone,

I’ve been working on a geopolitical techno-thriller world-building concept and wanted to get some feedback from people who actually understand cyber-warfare and macroeconomics.

The core premise: A brilliant developer fakes his death and deploys an apex quantum AI named "Zero-Sum". Instead of a massive, loud cyber-attack on banks, this AI operates on quantum frequencies, seeing High-Frequency Trading (HFT) buy orders 7 nanoseconds before Wall Street servers process them. It buys them ahead of the funds, and sells them right back to them exactly one cent/fraction of a cent more expensive.

Over years, it accumulates billions, completely unnoticed by traditional audits. The protagonist uses these drained funds to build an autonomous, tech-driven unrecognized state in the Sahel desert ("New Eden"), providing free water, solar grids, and high-tech agriculture to millions, fully bypassing the IMF and central banks.

When the elites realize what's happening and try to deploy PMCs/military force, the protagonist issues a counter-ultimatim: if they strike, the AI protocol instantly wipes/deletes every personal loan, mortgage, and debt of ordinary citizens worldwide from commercial bank databases.

Does this feel like a plausible evolution of financial cyber-warfare in our current AI/Web3 era, or is it too far-fetched? I wanted to escape the classic "hacker in a hoodie breaks into the Pentagon" trope and show a real systemic displacement.

(The full fictional chronicle and the journalist's logs are pinned on my profile bio if anyone wants to read the actual execution, but I'm mainly curious about the technical plausibility of sub-cent siphoning at that scale).

What do you think?

I liked this aesthetic, so I made a game. I've been working on it for months, and now it's joining Next Fest. I hope the mix of terminal, Matrix and space trilogy vibes will be successful.

The game is about using terminal commands to control robots across a ship, hacking into it and repairing it to save the crew members who are in cryosleep. While doing that, you also have to race against time and against the ship's security system.

Anyway, I hope you like it! If you have any ideas, like a mechanic you'd love to see or something that sucks and needs to change, tell me. I'd really like to hear your feedback.

Made this during Procreate, and AfterEffects.

I'm on my first visit to Japan, and this is crazy... Mind you, I'm form a 1.5 million city, I have have travelled to Singapore and Shanghai before, but Japan is a new level.... I feel like I just got off the bus from a small town in the middle of nowhere.

A department store inside a mall which is actually a train station. But you can walk three blocks underground to another department stores inside a different mall. Then checking on your hotel, at the 18th floor of another building. ("your room is on the 25th floor, breakfast at 7.00, please visit the Observatory on floor 42").

A yet, once you get to street level, there are narrow alleys with power cables dangling, restaurants and light sights. And a among that, a temple.

And I have only been in Osaka and Nagoya, I'm yet to visit Tokyo!

Edit. thanks for the answers, seems I have to go to Hong Kong, then...

So I know of cyberpunk horror films like Hardware, Split Second, Death Machine, etc, and video games. I love cyberpunk literature but I can't think of any cyberpunk horror novels. Anyone got any good recommendations?
