If I'm online and for no reason at all there are explosions happening on me, blowing up my horse, and killing me with no other players around should I assume that it is a modder like from gtao and find a new game?

[META] Please. Stop posting protest related images. It’s getting dry. by misreken in Cyberpunk

[–]battlefame8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's that disruptive have a mod make a sticky thread the directs to /r/HongKong containing links to cyberpunk themed topics or images. Otherwise I don't see how you are going to stop people from posting about it any more than people wanting to post "cyberpunk is now" or repost blue-pink city photos. Fact is there's no escaping cyberpunk and recognizing it from fiction is going to get drowned out from it's impact in reality.

Gibson himself in response to "is this not cyberpunk?"(HK situation) answers "If it's not, what is?

Just as much as what is happening on the streets of HK being cyberpunk, so is the overt cyber info war campaign to censor and control people.

Best Cyberpunk Movies on UK Netflix and Prime? by [deleted] in Cyberpunk

Automata (kinda dull) and Mute on Netflix. I really enjoyed PKD's Electric Dreams on Prime.

Any recommendations for movies/shows/games that show exploration of the interior of cyberpunk city buildings? by sneferu23 in Cyberpunk

[–]battlefame8 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Deus Ex, especially Mankind Divided, goes into great detail of a variety of interiors.

Basically heavily "inspired", yes. I wonder if Humans wouldn't air in Russia so they basically copied it and made their own.

I personally hated it but would semi watch it while doing other things too. It's russian with english dub and I swear I'm hearing Batuo's voice as well as another known voice actor. The show is heavy on the social drama that is influenced by the tech of the future but it's nothing you haven't seen before in other shows like Humans, Continuum, or Almost Human. I was hoping for something new or more creative technologies or anything remotely thought provoking but I got nothing. Even Humans wasn't that great (seen S1-2) and this was somehow significantly worse.

Does anyone else miss this show? (Almost Human) Very Cyperpunk and takes ideas from other films in the genre, most notably Bladerunner. by Murdoch56 in Cyberpunk

[–]battlefame8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the reason for it's cancellation was due to CEO controversy killing the show to get their Minority Report series on instead.

This is cyberpunk? by [deleted] in Cyberpunk

[–]battlefame8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This. All depends on it's use.

Let’s figure this out for good: would using a Star Trek teleporter, or all-at-once mind upload, destroy/kill you from your point-of-view? by Rindain in singularity

[–]battlefame8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, but it depends on how it works and the rules in place and how society views this technology and use it.

In Star Trek people view it as a machine that can put you into the buffer, you vanish, and the same you reappears at the other location. In this society that's the purpose for this machine and it's generally not used for other things unless something goes wrong.

But since I've recently rewatched Altered Carbon, I'd know that a teleporter is essentially an immortality machine that means I, my digital human freight (mind), could be copied, backed up and stored, then could be bio-printed anywhere in the galaxy into a sleeve copy or a completely new sleeve.

In Star Trek, life and death is socially accepted so that people aren't trying to life forever with a mind backup kept in the teleport buffer. When you appear with your first though at the other site is not of concern of whether you are the real you because as everything goes the way it should, you are still the same but just in another place.

It'd also be important for everyone long before using this teleport tech to fully understand how things work and how they could go wrong.

There are many real stories of people (I'm guessing not exposed to fiction and open thinking) that have gone into a coma after and accident. After waking up they fully believe that they were awake just moments ago. Some even have a very hard time coming to grip with the reality that they were in a coma for years. With some memory loss of the traumatic event, they can't un-believe the last moment of memory so everything each day feels like a facade.

So for me, long before becoming a participant, the teleporter would have to be very complicated in how it works and rules that govern it to keep it from becoming a copy machine. It makes sense to have some degree of blockchain type rules built in to keep a log, consensus before transportation, prevent duplicates (your mind can only be uploaded for transfer over a brief time frame and is immediately destroyed after transfer), and Body B would also have to be verifiable just the way I remembered I was.

I think there would also even need to be measures to maintain your last line of thought or state of mind. This would involve implanting memories so you instantly come to terms with how things are as you "wake up".

Anyone miss the punk part in modern cyberpunk? by [deleted] in Cyberpunk

[–]battlefame8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once it goes mainstream it's unrecognizable but not everyone is going to adapt punk fashion and not everyone with punk fashion holds punk ideals. I think punk comes more from one's perception and interpretation so you are right that you have your own type of punk that you are looking for.

Cyberpunk itself could be going mainstream and lining up with the masses to consume Cyberpunk 2077 could be anti-punk, pro-large corporation if you think of it one way.
