[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...

[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...

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....

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.

[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)....
