abigserve posted:are you guys loving with me or do you legitimately not see the difference between current social media mechanisms and the ability to invent an infinite number of convincing fake social media accounts i'm just contesting the notion that these accounts being 'convincing' matters somehow. an utterly distressing amount of people lack even a basic level of incredulity for outrageous claims they read online, regardless of the source

Improbable Lobster posted:that's not an excuse actuallly fwiw mike pondsmith (you know, the principal dude that created the cyberpunk setting that the game is based off of) has been pretty critical of a lot of the takes going around about the game since he's working on it with cdpr. i think it will probably be fine to good and i'd almost guarantee that 90% of the people writing invective against it for clicks now will turn around and call it a goty next year. /shrug

endlessmonotony posted:As a cyborg, I i haven't read the cyberpunk source books but i have read a fair amount of shadowrun (and related works), and I think this is an odd mischaracterization/personalization of the themes of technological augmentation in the genre. i'd suggest that traditional 80s/90s sourced cyberpunk is, very specifically, reactionary against the idea of technological modification on the human body for the sake of "improving" it, be those improvements the ability to hide a ten-inch knife in your wrist or more mundane ones like a telescopic wireless dick (0.25 essence cost in SR). the entire question this genre is asking is 'if you start putting circuit boards and hydraulics into people, are they still people like you and me, who don't have those things?' which, again, is a reaction against the sort of "technology will make everything better!" mindset that was especially pernicious around the turn of the century. it strikes me as odd that someone would read those books and come away thinking they're making a statement about artificial hips or limb replacements (especially as we currently understand them and use them) make you less of a person on some inherent level. the big difference, in my mind at least, is that 'aftermarket parts' for human beings in tyool 2019 aren't really something you choose to have. if your body breaks, cool, in certain circumstances we can make you whole-ish or at least restore some functionality/quality of life. i'd suggest the closest analogue in modern times to the sort of issues being raised in these settings are the nimrods who are giving themselves exciting sorts of cancers with CRISPR and poo poo, or trying to 'biohack' by only drinking soylent and never making GBS threads (or conversely the people who are doing DIY poop transplants on themselves). with that in mind, i think that maybe the authors are on to something...

vodkat posted:Francis Fukuyama being as wrong as possible about literally everything has been one of the highlights of the last 30 years i listened to a piece about him a while ago, apparently he's done a hell of a mea culpa and goes around owning up to being wrong on things, with the caveat that "well at the time it seemed reasonable but i missed a couple of things"
