>>100116650Quake was new, it didn't have sex mods yet. Also it would've needed 3D sex models, porn sprites would've been easier to make.

I was teen in the 90s and was all into the cyberpunk scene but looking back at it, how were there adults that fell for that shit? Teens? Sure but adults? Almost everything associated with that scene was cringe posing.
>>100117947anon... we have a whole general about the cyberpunk, on this board, here, now...
>>100116620Me on the left, except I hate women
I don't care either way both sound fine to me. But left seems less risky
>>100116620You know it's old when it actually engages with libertarianism as an ideology worthy of respect.I'm not even a libertarian but it sorta' sucks fuck to think about how much more chill people were regarding ideas on the internet back in the day.

Ayn Rand is chad
>>100118528idk how much of the kool aid they actually believe in but it's genuinely more interesting than the east coast tech brosthe prevailing ideology in the tech space in nyc is all about money, money, and more money
>>100116620both of these men are giga based.
>>100118915I agree. The early interne, before the money men, was a product of hippie tech optimism. I imagine most people here were influenced by this in some way. The world we live in is absolutely crazy.
>>100116650people still play Doom in 2024, anon
>>100119223>muh libertarianist utopia!Absolutely not
>>100119297u lack vision.
>>100116620Why in the fuck would you keep a copy of your genetic code? Like I get a book on algorithms but what in gods name does you genetic information have to do with computers?
>>100119869I spill a lot of genetic information when using my computer sometimes
>>100118003Is it anything like OP's pic? No? Then what's your point?
>>100118300That was back before people understood the dangers of open borders and before the child molesters infested libertarian groups who then had no ideologically pure way of ejecting them.
>>100116620I keep my genome in a Dropbox folder, not on my iPod
>>100119869when I did AncestryDNA they gave me the option to download my DNA in a .txt file so why the fuck not
>>100119869It's from 'Mondo 2000' which was about cyber style more than cyber substance.
>>100119249>was a product of hippie tech optimism.and the military industrial complexbut yeah, software was the place to be for a lone man to take on the world and win>>100119869>Why in the fuck would you keep a copy of your genetic code?techbros want to live forever
>>100116650>>100118557have a (you) on the house
>>100116620Nowadays, the guy on the left thinks AGI is coming in two more weeks while Kurzweil is on a million pills because he's afraid he'll die before AGI comes.
>>100119869the implication is that he needs to check it frequently to make sure that the cybernetic implants he is designing will be compatible with his own bodyyou wouldn't want to flash hard-earwax ver. firmware onto your medial temporal lobe adjutant
>>100119947It's kind of cool that 90% of the shit he has is just done by phones now, even if phones suck at the same time

>>100116620>Implying I will choose from a set of options made by primitive beingsI will ascend beyond the gods, I choose nothing but perfection
>>100116620Neither, [spoiler]I'm a real human bean.[/spoiler]
>>100116620I try to sanitize groupthink and advertising, it just seems impossible to live in a modern society if you aren't introspective about where your opinions are coming from and what vulnerabilities are being leveraged to make you conform.>>100119869You may need to remaster it, meanwhile your body just keeps spamming "save as jpeg".
>>100121507I'd love to be able to use my smartphone as a stun gun.Why are we not funding this?!
>>100116620Why is that the journalist repertoire only consists of 'haha look at these nerds they get no pussy'?It was the same in the early 2000s and its the same now with this incel fearmongering
>>100127378atheists define manhood thru women
>>100127378>Why is that the journalist repertoire only consists of 'haha look at these nerds they get no pussy'?Because the alternative would be to have a laugh at the expense of someone who do "have a pussy". And those kind of guy tend to have a temper too.Nothing new under the sun.
just another cope.
>>100119898It is. That's my point
>>100127378Marketing often uses this kind of outgroup pariah shaming and journalists are either payed to employ it and allow it to seep into their writing style or they integrate it into their writing second-hand because they learned from other journalism examples. The goal is to pressure the individual to conform by instilling the idea that they are behaving in a way that will be shunned with indirect but pointed insults and having them make the decision to change "on their own".Generic sexual, social or intellectual insults can be pretty common, but occasionally there is an attempt to link unwanted behaviors to specific known groups or strawmen like vegans, political/religious groups or transsexuals.
>>100127378I think this is from a tech magazine poking fun at itself

>>100116620the barely legal human cloning kind. Did you know therapeutic cloning is legal in most US states? There are only two things holding back mass producing spare organs and bodies; people getting grossed out about it and china flooding the organ market with organs from prisoners.
>>100116620I just want to be sealed up in a pod and have CGDCT beamed directly into my consciousness until my life support systems fail.
