Every year is more cyberpunk than the previous one. Get your lovely branded clothing ready, staple on some extra protection from the elements and the police, and get ready for a wild rear end year!

PIZZA.BAT posted:what always kills me about things like this is that someone made this. someone knowingly made this and put it out into the world. i want these people to be tracked down and outed. like say this was made by some 16 year old shitlord. all instances across the internet would then have his dipshit face tagged onto the bottom so everyone would realize where they were getting their info from The thing has "footswitch", "treble" and "bass" labeled. It's pretty funny. It's funny because it's so low-effort.

It's way too much effort for practically no gain, reindeer areas are full of wildlife, the reindeer are barely ever the problem. Also that image is practically unrelated.

Cybernetic Vermin posted:really you should steer clear of all works and derivatives of works by pkd if you're unwilling to as a first step accept an overtly kind of dumb and internally inconsistent premise. What? Seriously, what? Did you miss the bits in the book with the empathy religion for the "people", the electric sheep, the question about androids dreaming, the inaccurate tests, the colonies that don't ever really play a role, and the replicants? Or it being written by Philip K. Dick?

Cybernetic Vermin posted:right, all typical big picture questions about society, consciousness, the human condition. did *you* notice that the book does not dwell for more than a few words here and there on how a replicant is built, what they are made of, the economics of replicant production, etc? it just rapidly establishes that replicants are real, are regarded as emotionless machines, but that identifying them is a difficult process. which does not make a lot of sense if you pick at it, but that's why you don't pick at it. I'm NOT supposed to question what's real... in a Philip K. Dick book? What a take!

Cybernetic Vermin posted:sure is, do you have anything to say to defend this bizarre take you appear to have suddenly invented? The book? Like, the entire book? The point is that nobody in the book can quite tell apart replicants and humans. Except posthumously, which is all based on the say-so of a government that's clearly an unreliable narrator. And then when you dig into it, the existence of humans doesn't quite make sense either. It's... the style of Philip K. Dick. It's present in everything he's written. He famously had some words about "reality" in his books.

Agile Vector posted:one is a global human empathic experience that the people of dying earth use (the mercer box), the implications of the replicants not being able to connect, and how people view them, and vice versa, for that Yeah but the very way replicants are defined is by their capacity to feel empathy, in a way that would consistently disqualify a lot of people in actual reality, right now. And in a way that should make it impossible to arrive at the reason the world is so polluted in the first place. Almost as if the theme is the way people treat each other and what the replicants are isn't exactly the point. Agile Vector posted:the film trims a lot of the story for cohesion since many full pkd books are a jumble of philosophic ideas, questions on the nature of reality, and mid-century scifi and trying to put all that in is nearly impossible Funnily, the film is less coherent without the jumble since it only implies so many of the questions on the nature of the reality underlying (and indeed, enabling) the story. Gotta love the aesthetic though.

Humanity's waged war on itself so completely the rats in the cities are gone, unable to sustain themselves - but the thing setting people apart is their empathy. The government sends unaccountable death squads after people and totally pinky swears they can tell who was a baddie after they're dead. Somehow they can't test living people. Sometimes people are sent to a farm At least one of the main characters is a replicant who doesn't know they're a replicant due to memory alterations. Wake up electric sheeple.
