But without the cool chanting and poetic language; just like cyberpunk was realized without the vivid imagery and neon lights :(
- rbanffy 2y ago> just like cyberpunk was realized without the vivid imagery and neon lights :( The 21st century never ceases to disappoint. It’s a cheap, low budget and dystopian version of what we imagined.
- NoGravitas 2y agoTo be fair, what we imagined was dystopian, too. It's just that some people with a lot of ambition and not much media literacy didn't realize it was dystopian, and set about to build that future.
- zknow 2y agocould have been high budget dystopian at least!
- TheOtherHobbes 2y agoThe budget is extremely high, but very unevenly distributed.
- rbanffy 2y agoThis is why I love Hacker News so much.
- rbanffy 2y agoI am from the Thunderbirds generation. It wasn't a perfect 21st century, but at least it was cool. And the sound track was excellent.
