What is the most cyberpunk thing you've seen today?
| Dirty alleys.
About as cyberpunk as it gets around here
| Last night I saw a blimp with a giant LED screen broadcast ads for sports and TV shows.
| A massive online surveillance apparatus run by the government and mega-corps who work hand-in-hand.
| Well, 2 reporters got deported for trespassing over here for the Trump-Kim summit. Probably justified, but still.
| 2077
| Seemingly hobo people having a phone, a neon sign for a kebap stand and pharmacy. Oh, and police patrolling.
| Buildings i guess
| danger/u/ convo ^^
| 6 security cameras in every classroom, with 2 being facial recognition cameras.

The more I read, the more I'm convinced Cyberpunk wasn't a dystopia, but a prediction.
| Put overpriced gas in my car, paid with my phone, and watched ads for this computer program that treats you like a commodity and sends you more ads.
| Altered Carbon
| a girl with blue hair
that's literally it :[
| Dominos pizza is filling pot holes in city roads that have been ignored by the city's DMV because potholes apparently mess up pizzas as they're delivered.

| Where I work underground there was a guy that moved in inside a small, almost hidden room in a parking, he's using the room to repair furniture.
It fascinated me that 1: someone is renting this guy a janitor's closet and 2: somehow having him here made the place look much better.
| Paying without using 1s and 0s
| *paying using 1s and 0s, I fucked up xD
| >>314427 I work at Dominos, yes, they do fuck up deliveries because most drivers use sport tires and dodge them. This dodging leads to pizzas on the floor of our cars. Well, on the inside of the delivery bag anyway.
To op:
Prolly my room. Right now it's dark only being illuminated from the lights on various chargers and my tv with the message: unusable signal
| A guy at the therapist had a breathing tube, and that's almost like a cyber-Aug, so... That's all I've got.
| I'm just the excel guy, in a hospital, but today I did automate ~50% of my job, using excel, vba, access and ssh, without my bosses' knowledge. Sadly enough, I've got no access to the other 50%'s main db (yet) (firebird). With that kind of power in my hands, I could do my monthly job working only a few hours, adjusting index and reading reports. Not quite ultra-fashion-cyberpunk, but I'm getting my money from a pile of scripts.
| >>317618 making your job easy and quick is a frustrating way to lose it
op: my desk has become an enormous tangle of wires, is that good enough?
| >>317809 I hope they don't find out about my lil tweak. But that's ok, in two years from now, i'm gonna be an automation engineer.
|
| Wax and the discovery of television among bees
| Someone in lumps with a phone.
| Flickering neon light
| >>317618
I'm kinda jealous- aside from the human voice component, a lot of my job could also be replaced by scripts.
Problem is, I kinda don't want my employers to know that (I'm also in healthcare). Bad for job security, y'know.
| i read an article on how some venezuelans farm gold on runescape to get by, and it actually pays better than a regular job
if relying on an mmo currency as your main source of income in the wake of a collapsing society isn't cyberpunk, idk what is
| >>322266
Venezuela is cataclysmic cyberpunk but not in a good way! Were they the ones throwing bottled shits in protests?

Yea, i get it. On the bright side, I think the financial manager don't give a fuck if I use autohotkey for "excel => management system" data input; the only thing he doesn't wanna see is fucking red numbers in report. But I'm pretty sure the owners would go batshit with that (when not in surgery and intensive care, they spend their times talking about how the world got so easy on the younger generations).
| Fucking dude with augmentation of hand that was painted in carbon black. And a shitty subway train that had interactive tablet on the wall that gave all information about city
| Sony X Fortnite story
| >>317618 hope you know what your doing cause a fuck up in your script could lead to a fuck up for a doctor or a patient and bye bye job.
On the other hand, script too perfect? Bye bye job
| shin megami tensei liberation dx 2 if that counts
| Ok, this whole "automate my job" is driving me insane. Everywhere I look, I notice things that could be automated and begin projecting it in my mind. Right now, I'm reading the pyautogui docs and I swear to lain I could lead a few computers to do 80~90% of the financial work around here. Last night, I even dreamed about setting up a push notification in my phone, to receive updates from some sort of server, running this fucking bot.
| >>312562 it's super helpful for homeless people to have cell phones, as they have no fixed address
Social workers need that contact, and a lot of them just lease the phone.
| Instead of a guide dog, a robot was leading a blind man. Idk how it works, and maybe its just that people were doing their best to give way to him, but he was able to navigate through the crowd thanks to a metal box.

| The other day I saw a holographic projection of a sign! It was so weird. What about y'all?
