  • Cyberpunk is a genre of science fiction (mostly literature) often credited with being sparked by William Gibson’s “Neuromancer”

    It is a far larger and more influential piece of contemporary science fiction and pop culture than simply being an open world video game

    The title of the video game is in reference to the genre that has existed since the 1980s, and honestly the game is more of a retro future 1980s style sci Fi action/crime thriller game than a genuine “Cyberpunk” work of fiction, at least thematically speaking. Uh weirdly Deus Ex (1) is sort of more Cyberpunk in essence than “Cyberpunk 2077”

    (William Gibson himself has stated that the cyberpunk 2077 game essentially only shares an aesthetic theme with the genre. A retro future 1980s aesthetic essentially being all that it shares with some cyberpunk fiction. Cyberpunk fiction has nothing to do necessarily with the 1980s vibe, Neuromancer and other early works simply happened to have been written during that time period.)




  • Honestly a lot of his earlier stuff is serviceable if somewhat forgettable rap rock (He likely was inspired somewhere along the line by the early work of the beastie boys)

    Once he decided he was also country fusion it really started to be very very crappy. His attitude is also awful since the early 2000s.

    I do recall a song of his called “New York’s not My Home” or somthing (this would be probably late 80s, early 90s) in which he essentially states that the wild stuff he encounters in New York doesn’t bother him because he understands that there are cultural differences between places

    It’s a pretty far cry from the weapons level MAGA idiocy he now feeds on, though it seems to be slowly losing wind in his sails so to speak. (No one going to his shows lol)

    That being said his best song is “Bawitaba” (sp?) which while fun sometimes isn’t exactly an intellectually rich piece of artwork.

    Whoa

    They pound beers a lot more effectively now I’ve been told

    I heard Kash can put back a whole case before he starts to lose significant control of his motor coordination

    Then again apparently he also has shaky hands before his first morning beer

    Ya gotta make some sacrifices to crush brews at what is essentially an Olympic level

    Zionism is equivalent to Nazism.

    Zionism at its heart is a form of violent Fascism, as well as a form of Settler-Colonialism that maintains it’s prominence and territorial expansion by commiting genocide.

    Zionism should be met with the same vigorous resistance and removal from society as Nazism.

    Zionism PREDATES Nazism. Modern political Zionism started in 1897, the Nazi movement didn’t begin until the 1920s.

    I’m glad you get to define wrong for everyone else

    Also I got news for you

    There are a variety of formats that are thriving and in constant use all over the world that differ from what you consider correct

    (I’ve never encountered a date format nazi before, this is first contact for me.)
