What is Cyberpunk?
Cyberpunk is a science-fiction sub-genre dealing with the integration of society and technology in dystopian settings. Often referred to as “low-life and high tech,” Cyberpunk stories deal with outsiders (punks) who fight against the oppressors in society (usually mega corporations that control everything) via technological means (cyber). If the punks aren’t actively fighting against a megacorp, they’re still dealing with living in a world completely dependent on high technology.
Cyberpunk characteristics include:
- Dystopian city setting where mega-corporations rule
- Full integration of technology into society, featuring cybernetic implants
- Outsider protagonists (punks) who often are very familiar with the technology around them
- Hard boiled detective and film noir vibes and influence
- Themes dabbling in trans-humanism, existentialism, and what it means to be human.

I finally had the joy of trying pistachio butter, which I have been looking for ever since this movie first came out and I saw it in theaters lol
Also the talk of a movie based on The Sims recently has me wondering if they will go the dark route and make it like Society.
Did you enjoy the butter?
Mans has a whole bit about pistachio butter and doesn't tell us if it's actually good.
It was like liquid pistachio. Peanutbutter has a distinct difference in flavor between just eating peanuts but the pistachio butter had no difference between eating solid nuts aside from the texture.
Absolutely overpowers any jelly I tried it with. But I like pistachios so it was nice 😌 It was $8 for a 4oz jar though. Too expensive to be a full time PB replacement.
