[Movie] Slyth: The Hunt Saga - new cyberpunk movie on Netflix (lemmy.zip)
Slyth is a movie about a group of high-tech low-lifes who happen to be the best e-sports team for some virtual reality first-person shooter. All of the establishing shots over the city show that the movie takes place in a cyberpunk world, but the plot is actually about the team hitting someone with their car which gives that...
KILLTUBE trailer (www.youtube.com)
It might be hard to tell from this crazy kinetic trailer just what the hell KILLTUBE is. Well, apparently it's a movie with a target release date of 2026. The creators are calling it "Edo-punk" and sure, why not. It still looks cyberpunk-adjacent to me....
[Book] Cyberpunk City: The Machine Killer (lemmy.zip)
Amazon has been trying to recommend this book to me for awhile but I've always ignored it. My main issue is the title of the book, Cyberpunk City. That's so generic the author might as well have called it "My Cyberpunk Story". And while the cover art looks great, it's also your generic "person looking out over a cyberpunk...
[TV] Samurai Jack - I wish he'd spent more time in the cyberpunk city (lemmy.zip)
Samurai Jack was a great show, there's no question about that. But when I watched the first episode and he arrived in that cyberpunk city, I was really excited. A samurai from the past exploring a cyberpunk future? That sounds amazing....
[Game] Anno Mutationem - drenched in cyberpunk aesthetic, ok gameplay (lemmy.zip)
Anno: Mutationem is a weird game. First of all, it looks amazing. They totally captured the cyberpunk aesthetic. But in my opinion, the gameplay is just 'ok'. It isn't bad by any means, it's just generic....
[Movie] Gamer - not exactly "subtle" social commentary (lemmy.zip)
I've been thinking about Gamer for a while and I've been hesitant to post about it because it really is a bad movie. But I also think it firmly falls into the cyberpunk category. So here we are....
What are the best *retro* cyberpunk video games (20+ years old)? (lemmy.zip)
What are your favorite old-school cyberpunk video games? I’m not convinced there’s anything worth playing from the ZX Spectrum/Commodore 64 era, but maybe the NES/SNES/N64/PS1 eras had some good cyberpunk games?...
[Game] Moon Samurai - Official Kickstarter Trailer (www.youtube.com)
I don't typically browse kickstarter looking for cyberpunk content but the Almighty Internet Algorithm shoved this video in my face and I gotta admit, it is cyberpunk....
[Art] Ghost in the Shell timelines/continuities (lemmy.zip)
I have no idea who made this but I found it on reddit and decided to share. Here's the full-size image for those who want to zoom in....
[Anime] Redline - cyberpunk-adjacent anime movie (lemmy.zip)
When making recommendations, I typically try to ensure something is "cyberpunk" rather than ensuring it's "good". After all, this community is for "cyberpunk" content, not "my random list of recommendations"....
Do you consider Demolition Man to be cyberpunk? (lemmy.zip)
Demolition Man takes place in a world with a large income gap, where the rich (or at least the middle class) live on the surface while the poor (or at least those wanting to be "free") live underground. And there's a lot of futuristic tech involved (like cyber sex!). But this is primarily a story about political correctness in...
[Game] Satellite Reign - a spiritual successor to Syndicate (1993) and Syndicate Wars (1996) (lemmy.zip)
If anyone has nostalgia for Syndicate or Syndicate Wars, I recommend Satellite Reign. It's a similar real-time squad-based isometric cyberpunk game as those games. Also, Satellite Reign wasn't just influenced by Syndicate, it was made by the producer and lead programmer of Syndicate Wars....
Recommendations for RaspberryPI 4B case?
Hiya, so I have a spear RaspberryPI 4b, and want to selfhosted HomeassistantOS on it, heard there were some advantages of running the full OS and not just the docker container. However I currently don't have a casing for it....
[April Fools] Introducing a Limited Floppy Edition of Cyberpunk 2077! (www.cyberpunk.net)
Embrace the ritual of classic game installation using 97,619 3.5” diskettes!
Vote for a new icon for the !cyberpunk@lemmy.zip community! (lemmy.zip)
Time for a vote! Since Lemmy doesn't support polls, I'm just going to create a comment for each option. Whichever comment has the most upvotes wins. I won't count downvotes (I'll have a separate "protest vote" option). And I'll probably give it a week to let everyone vote.
[Game] VirtuaVerse - a point and click adventure game drenched in the cyberpunk aesthetic (lemmy.zip)
VirtuaVerse is a standard point & click adventure game that really nails the cyberpunk aesthetic....
[Movie] Strange Days is a classic cyberpunk movie and you should watch it (lemmy.zip)
While it might be hard to tell, I do try to find something to say about each post. If it's an obscure cyberpunk work, I'll try to describe it. If I think the work is more well-known, I'll try to ask a question to start a discussion. I do my best not to just go "hey, 'member Blade Runner??" and "hey, 'member Ghost in the...
[Game] Snatcher - Hideo Kojima's early cyberpunk game heavily "inspired" by Blade Runner (lemmy.zip)
This game is such an oddity. Depending on how you count it, this is Hideo Kojima's second game (after Metal Gear for the NES). And it's basically Blade Runner but legally distinct enough to not get sued. Yet they also decided to make one character look exactly like Sting from the 1984 Dune movie for some reason:...
[Book] Thin Air - a cyberpunk novel for fans of the Takeshi Kovacs (Altered Carbon) series (lemmy.zip)
Thin Air feels like a Takeshi Kovacs knock-off but given that it's written by the same author, I guess that's ok. Just like Altered Carbon, Thin Air is about a ridiculously overpowered ex-soldier trying to solve a crime in a cyberpunk city and ends up digging deeper and deeper into unraveling a conspiracy. But this time, it...
[Comic] Have any of you read Shatter or Hard-Boiled? (lemmy.zip)
I stumbled upon a list of the (supposedly) best cyberpunk comics. The list started out with the expected well-known manga like Ghost in the Shell and Akira, but then they listed Shatter and Hard-Boiled. And I'd never heard of either of them. So I'm curious if anyone here has read and would recommend either of these comics....
[Art] My attempt at a new icon for this community (lemmy.zip)
Last week, I tried describing what I was thinking for a new logo for this community. Here's my attempt at showing what I was thinking. Yes, it's very amateurish and I would love for someone to make it better, but it shows my intent. Also, I think it's somewhat recognizable when shrunk down:...
Help me make a new icon for this community! (lemmy.zip)
This community currently has a banner and icon generated by AI. That's all well and good, and I like the amorphous blob of neon skyscrapers used in the banner. But I don't like the icon. My problem is that when you shrink the icon down to the size used in all apps, those two orange neon signs end up looking like flippers on a...
[Movie] Do you like the movie Mute? (lemmy.zip)
Mute definitely takes place in a cyberpunk setting, but something about it just feels off to me. Maybe it's the fact that the main character is basically Amish, or that the plot isn't especially cyberpunk, or that I just don't like Paul Rudd's character in this movie. I guess I'm stuck wondering why they bothered to set this...
[Game] Ctrl Phreak - a ridiculous game where you hack just like in the movies, by mashing your keyboard as fast as you can! (lemmy.zip)
This is a total joke game but it's priced right at $5 and they totally committed to the joke. Rather than trying to teach pseudo-linux hacking commands (like in Hacknet or Uplink), this game is inspired by terrible hacking scenes in movies and TV (like having two people type on the same keyboard as fast as they can)....
[Book] Underdog: Hackers of Artem - the closest I'll get to reading LitRPG (lemmy.zip)
I dislike LitRPG as a genre. I won't stop anyone from reading it, but I personally think it's a lazy cop-out to world-building. I tried reading one that started talking about the character's mana points and putting items in their inventory (when the character wasn't inside a video game) and I immediately put it down. Also,...
What's your favorite depiction of cyberspace? (lemmy.zip)
Including any movie, TV show, video game, book, anime, whatever. What's your favorite depiction of cyberspace?...
[Game] Nobody Wants to Die - Official Reveal Trailer (www.youtube.com)
The game is definitely cyberpunk but since this is just a reveal trailer with no gameplay, there's no way to tell what type of game it actually is....
[Game] Cloudpunk - a mellow game where you fly your taxi around a voxel cyberpunk city (lemmy.zip)
Cloudpunk is a good game for people who don't want to stress out while playing a video game. This is a very low-stakes mellow gameplay. You're given the freedom to fly all over the city at your own pace. Plus you can get out of your taxi and walk around all you want. But this isn't like Crazy Taxi where you're just...
‘Watch Dogs’ Movie In The Works At New Regency With ‘Talk To Me’ Breakout Sophie Wilde Starring (deadline.com)
This is so preliminary I doubt it will actually be made, but I'd love a Watch_Dogs movie!
[Movie] Burst City is a Japanese cyberpunk movie that's actually *punk* (lemmy.zip)
It's always been strange to me that Ghost in the Shell is considered cyberpunk. It's about a government agency trying to resolve state-level issues. There are no hard-boiled detectives, no evil corporations, no punk-rock influences, no high-tech low-lifes....
[Art] Move Forward by Beeple (lemmy.zip)
Beeple makes a picture every day and a lot of them are cyberpunk. Of course, a lot of them are also just... weird. So it's hit or miss (much like my posts to this community!)....
[Book] What Shadowrun novels would you recommend reading? (lemmy.zip)
I'm tired of reading books that are somewhat cyberpunk or kinda cyberpunk if you squint your eyes just right. I'm in the mood for something that's more unapologetically cyberpunk. So what Shadowrun novels are worth reading?...
[Short Film] Automata - it's got hard-boiled detectives and robots, that means it's cyberpunk, right?? (lemmy.zip)
Ok, this is a bit of a silly post since this series is very obviously not cyberpunk. But it has hard-boiled detectives and robots, that's all you need, right?...
[Movie] 2067 - a time travel movie that starts in a cyberpunk world and ends in a solarpunk world (lemmy.zip)
It's a bit of a spoiler to say the movie ends with a solarpunk world, but that's like saying "there's a happy ending" is a spoiler. You know they're going to resolve the conflict, it's finding how they get there that's the interesting part....
‘Upload’ Renewed for Fourth and Final Season at Amazon (www.hollywoodreporter.com)
I've made a couple posts about Upload before. It's a cyberpunk rom-com so it doesn't exactly get a strong recommendation from me, but it's also the only live-action cyberpunk TV show actively airing right now (at least until we get Neuromancer 🤞)....
[Game] Slave Zero - stomping around a cyberpunk city as a giant robot (lemmy.zip)
Slave Zero is an old game so the graphics and gameplay mechanics are definitely dated. But I don't know any other game that lets you stomp around a cyberpunk city as a giant robot. The game does a great job of giving you a sense of scale with all the little flying cars moving around your feet as you jump from building to...
[Art] Cover art for William Gibson's Sprawl trilogy, by Deathburger (lemmy.zip)
These are the cover artworks for Neuromancer, Count Zero, and Mona Lisa Overdrive by Josan Gonzalez (Deathburger). The covers were used for the Brazilian reprints....
[Book] Foundryside is a cyberpunk adventure wrapped in an epic fantasy novel (www.theverge.com)
This is an old article but it explains Foundryside better than I could. It's a fairly standard fantasy setting with its own unique form of magic, and yet the story includes multiple cyberpunk tropes....
[Short Film] HYPER-REALITY (www.youtube.com)
This 6-minute short film does such an incredible job of imagining how far augmented reality could go. Just pop-ups and advertisements everywhere.
Jared Leto Reveals First Look at Tron: Ares (gizmodo.com)
Apple TV+ officially announces Neuromancer series (www.apple.com)
About a week ago I posted a rumor that Robert Pattinson could potentially play Case in Apple TV+'s Neuromancer series. That series is now officially announced at Apple TV+ but they only named the showrunners (no cast). I assume this means Pattinson declined the role, otherwise they would've mentioned him. Or maybe they're...
[Game] Remember Me is a "daytime" cyberpunk set in Neo Paris (lemmy.zip)
Remember Me is a fun 3rd-person cyberpunk beat 'em up. It takes place in Neo Paris but also, a lot of the game takes place during the day. And there isn't constant rain or clouds, it's actually sunny. It's weird how few cyberpunk games ever actually show the sun....
[Movie] Space Sweepers is a fun "cyberpunk in space" movie (lemmy.zip)
If you haven't seen Space Sweepers, definitely check it out. It's a fun "cyberpunk in space" Korean movie. It's pretty light-hearted (no deep philosophical discussions here) but it really hits on all the cyberpunk tropes....
[Art] Shadowrun art from Super Famicom game (lemmy.zip)
The SNES version of Shadowrun doesn't really give you any idea what the game is...
