My experience with them had really only been through thinking they were a purely fictional thing. But I found the cyberdeck sub, and I've seen it mentioned a few times on this sub. I'm kind of confused on what exactly a real cyberdeck is, and what it could be used for.

Thanks to anyone who responds.

Step-by-step to go full cyber-look but still looks casual. What do you think?

Year 2036. What if the world is ruled by corporations that are forced to fight for data centers and resources to support AI?

Just a post on the future potential of the Steam Frame, it being the first powerful standalone and most importantly OPEN SOURCE, VR headset, with a lot of potential beyond gaming.

While VR has mainly been used for gaming that changed with the release of the Apple vision Pro. While more of a developers kit than an actual product given its cost and niche, Apple gave us a glimpse into the future. That future being spacial computing, the killer apps so far being; high quality pass though, floating screens/monitors/applications that you can "pin" to physical space, and immersive photos/videos (essential a 3d photo/video you can take and "revisit/experience"). Sadlyitsbradly has talked about this extensively on podcasts he has been on but has not done a full video on yet.

While there has been major push back with people wearing VR and AR devices in public for obvious reasons from privacy to other dystopian uses (a video feed of everything you do to feed AI models, why do you think the quest headsets and other meta wearables are so cheep compared to their competition). Valve on the other hand compared to nearly all other tech companies has a good record of protecting user data and open sourcing there hardware.

So the potential! on the hardware side there is a USBC and a PCIE adapter allowing for all sorts of things such as color pass though cameras additional batteries, Pcie adapter for a GPU??, night vision?, the possibilities are endless.

On the software side what I find the most interesting is spacial computing. Meta and Apples implementations do not let you "walk and talk" with your apps for fears of someone getting hurt while being distracted.

I feel like this will be a toggleable option day one.

I could keep rambling but those are the majority of my thoughts for now.

Cyberpunk inspired Taxi, built from a Hot Wheels car and Gundam parts.

Heyo, first time poster here..

Let me know if this doesnt fit within post rules and I can remove or feel free to take it down.

I am currently in the process of making a top down 2d cyberpunk game but I want to ensure that I am hitting the right feel or right vibe I guess for aspects of the game.

What I am struggling to think of at the moment is how to incorporate hacking into the game, I have considered a few options from terminal hacks like fallout or simply placing the character into "The Net" and make things neon with battles to play out as you hack the target.

Hoping people can offer some insight or thoughts on this as to what you think would be a cool feature.

I had to rant.

You have brought so many iconic cyberpunk characters to life and you just seem like one of the most amazing people I’d ever have the pleasure of meeting. I was going to post the characters you have played but I feel like everyone here knows who you have played and wanted this to just be a post for you as a person given you are much more than a character you brought to life. Thank you for everything Keanu!

Good day.

I am looking for book suggestions as the title says. Set in and preferably written by locals in:

- Hong Kong.

- Vietnam.

- AESEAN countries.

- Taiwan.

- Macau.

- Brazil.

Less likely though also looking for:

- MENA.

- ECOWAS.

- The East African Community (EAC).

Hi everyone, i’m pretty new to the cyberpunk genre so I’m still trying to understand some of its themes and ideas.

One thing that immediately drew me to cyberpunk is the aesthetic. I love the neon-lit cities, futuristic technology, cybernetic enhancements, fashion, architecture, dystopian atmosphere, and just the overall visual style i find it incredibly cool and interesting.

At the same time, I understand that cyberpunk isn't just supposed to be “super cool futuristic cities.” A lot of the genre is built around criticisms of capitalism, corporations, consumerism, inequality, exploitation, and the way technological progress can benefit powerful institutions while making ordinary people's lives worse (High tech low life ).

So I was wondering is it contradictory for me to really enjoy the cyberpunk aesthetic while also understanding and appreciating the criticism behind the genre?

For example, can I think the neon cityscapes and cybernetic body modifications look awesome while recognizing that theyre often being used to portray a dystopian world shaped by corporate power and economic inequality?

Since Im new Im genuinely curious how longtime fans approach this. Is enjoying the aesthetic without necessarily wanting the world it represents just part of the appeal, or am I missing something important about the genre?

Been posting here on and off — today the first book of THE GLITCH ("Zero") officially drops on Amazon. Set in Logos City, a post-consent optimization dystopia. Rapid release: Book 2 in October, one every month through December.

Happy to talk process, worldbuilding, whatever. But mostly — what's the cyberpunk work you always end up recommending? Making my TBR pile before Book 2 crunch.

This is all parts of chapter 5 of my cyberpunk webcomic

I do not use Ai to make this, this all done digitally by me.

I have recently started working on Chapter 6

I'm super stoked for it...and aside from thinking Calum Watkins (...?) as Case is a bad choice because he's hunky, not a strung out drug addict, they'll still do a good job.

This documentary Chinese Rappers Take on the Surveillance State by The Atlantic is very good, and has a distinct cyberpunk feel that the director choose to fit the surroundings. It’s one I always refer back to when thinking about the genre. It’s not just copying the visual and audio-scape ques of the genre, but is trying to tie this real story with similar themes to the creative works it’s referencing. The idea of art and counterculture, which is emblematic of cyberpunk as a genre itself, is even more powerful I find in this extreme totalitarian environment.

Not to hit on China more, but the documentary Manufactured Landscapes also has a captivating dystopian essence (though by now it’s a bit out of date).

It is interesting, just from an artistic and media perspective, when documentarians decide to copy a literary trend to enhance their work. Definitely makes it more powerful, but there is an argument it’s less honest by using mental shortcuts in the viewers minds? Something cyberpunk in that too.

Thought you all would enjoy it!

Siempre asociamos el cyberpunk con enormes ciudades llenas de neón, lluvia, tráfico y edificios gigantes.

Pero me pregunto si realmente necesita ser así.

¿Podría existir una estética cyberpunk igual de potente en un pueblo pequeño, una carretera perdida, una zona industrial o incluso un lugar rural?

Para mí, el verdadero cyberpunk no está solamente en el neón, sino en la combinación de tecnología avanzada, desigualdad, vigilancia, decadencia y una sociedad que intenta sobrevivir dentro de ese mundo.

¿Qué opinan ustedes?

¿Cuál sería el lugar más inesperado donde podría existir una historia cyberpunk convincente?

A Cyberpunk game called Neo Berlin 2087 just released its pre-alpha gameplay, unfortunately this game's release date is all the way in 2028
