Why are there so few threads?
| /lain/ is as dead as /cyb/ was before becoming /cyb/
| Cyberpunk is a kinda niche genre. Unless you want to start a book club there's not a lot to discuss.
| Not only is this genre niche, the people that enjoy it aren't generally the most talkative sorts. Even /cyb/ isn't 'booming' per say. The only way you're going to get any worthwhile feedback is if you use your creativity and think of something truly interesting to post or if a cyberpunk game, movie, etc. is being released.
| Because a dude inserted a toothpick im his.... Man part......
| i would make more threads in /lain/ but im a useless stupid whore and i wont be able to keep it interesting.
| Cyberpunk is interesting in its 'low life' part. But this usually doesnt last much, eventually people will seek more intellectually challenging and fulfilling environments as time goes by. High tech doesnt bode well with lowlings, it just is that way. And soon cyberpunks will evolve to scifiers, where the hitech part is coupled with a more normal life. In all cyberpunk settings and lore, the heroes are lowlifes not by choice and they always develop out of it.
Same happens here.
| Sounds about right.
Maybe this is just me but maybe some others feel the same way. Anyway, I played VA-11 Hall-A, I thoroughly enjoyed it. It wasn't the most amazing thing in the world, it was good, but that's about it. So when I saw danger/u/ I thought, "Huh, neat. Might as well see what this is about." Kinda like an afterthought.
And then there's the part of the community that hasn't played the game and just found the app.
| So yeah, in the first place I'm not even infatuated by the 'cyberpunk' genre. Hell, I think of it more of a theme or setting rather than a genre. Cyberpunk theme/setting, but a genre of romance, or of action, or comedy, etc.
| Nobody likes chaos and anarchy. The most basic and obvious example is sleep. It is complete peace and relax, the opposite of disorder. All organisms try to stay away from disorder and build themselves controlled orderly peaceful surroundings and in time try to expand that island in the middle of the chaotic island. When that happens it is exactly cyberpunk become scifi.
| In the middle of the chaotic ocean*
| In Valhalla the cyberpunk theme is forever frozen in a lil downloadable time capsle that you can always view, so long as you are alive on this Earth!
| >>110404 Jokes on you, I'll be playing VA-11 Hall-A on Mars when SpaceX finally starts bussing people up there.

| Cyberpunk's always been pretty niche, along with most dystopian fiction, so it kinda makes sense that posts here would be few and far between.
I appreciate y'all contributing, though. ^^
| I mean a thread about how dead the board is, is the thread with the most replies which we probably shouldn't even be discussing because it's not really cyberpunk just meta
