@Iffine @Minty the bleak nihilism is very specific to Cyberpunk(tm) not the cyberpunk genre as a whole. pretty much every other cyberpunk story is not focused so much on the style or cool factor, they're kind of just cool by their very nature. they usually carry more substance than style, with a lot of exploration of inorganic vs organic things and what makes them different or alike. Cyberpunk(tm) doesn't really do any of that kind of philosophical stuff and it feels kind of surface-level for me as a result. it's still cool as fuck, don't get me wrong, but that's about all i can say.
cyberpunk usually takes place in a dystopia, of varying degrees. but nothing comes to my mind as being quite as fucked as Cyberpunk is, and the way it is fucked and the stories that are told just feel needlessly over the top for my tastes. i love the aesthetics and the worldbuilding and lore and everything but the actual stories being told and the way a lot of characters are written don't have enough substance to capture me which makes all the death and destruction feel annoying rather than saddening.
the granddaddy of cyberpunk, "do androids dream of electric sheep," ends with the main character basically finding peace and going to bed while his wife makes coffee and orders some food for his pet synthetic frog. now that i think of it, Cyberpunk is pretty much the only cyberpunk setting that is so fucked up which i guess carves its own section of the genre out, but it's a little unfortunate that it carries the same name because in actuality it is quite different from everything else. it's just extremely, borderline comedically, tragic by design and i'm not a fan of that.
@nicole i'll grow up just give me 70 more years
@Backstreetgirl yeah the weird pedo goonbait shit is getting to be too much if you don't even want to share it
@LukeAlmighty @xianc78 yeah it's quite the conundrum and i can see it going several different ways. i don't know what they're going to do but i'm pretty sure they're going to do something and we'll know about it soon.
