Cyberpunk is bugman fantasy, everything is high-tech and urban and everything is ruled over by corrupt government and corporations that they claim to hate while they support all the same social causes as them.

It was fun as a younger person, who didn't understand how dark the reality of human->machine coupling will be.
In retrospection, I think it's primary role was to desensitize people to the horrors of it.
And, now that people are being injured by this rush to implement a computer brain interface... their injury is only met with apathy.

@hazlin @Meemoo That's something I've noticed with a lot of bugman interaction with fiction:
>how dark the reality of human-machine coupling will be
Instead of taking the correct lessons from fiction, that such a thing WOULD be horrific, they become easily distracted by how "cool" the action and glamor would be. They do the same thing with vampires and werewolves and any kind of transformative horror fiction concept, they just see "wow I could be immortal and superpowered, so COOOOOL" because they inherently do not see the loss of humanity as a loss at all, maybe on some level they realize that they don't really have any (probably not enough self-awareness for that, though).

@MeBigbrain @Meemoo similarly, what seems to be the most popular class in RPG games/books? It feels like it is Necromancer.
Which is a trend, and a preference that seems very unnatural.

@hazlin @MeBigbrain @Meemoo I really like the way witche portrays necromancy. The one time we see it used it's a necessary evil and it puts the character being subjected to it through immense amounts of pain and you have to rush through asking only the very important questions in order to minimize the damage you're causing to his soul and the world around you.
As opposed to the dnd funny haha 5 questions shit that people peddle.

@Kyonko802 @hazlin @Meemoo Dnd used to make way more sense when there were evil schools of magic and evil races. Moral relativism just makes fantasy settings boring.
