I watched an Amazon show for the first time since ads started a while ago. 3 unskippable ads is insane for a service I’m paying for.
So I’m back to the high seas myself.
No ads for paid service. None, zero, zilch. This is a hard line we should all take.
“Not a fan” is generous imo. That looks like a beta project rushed to production.
My first glance at the title was that it was one six year old responsible for 60% of playtime.
AFAIK, it’s not the legality per se that keeps the actual incest off the provider, but that credit card companies won’t allow their cards to be used to pay for such services.
But I’m just a regular pervert on the internet. I’m only parroting what I read online.
Missing the mod that allows one to plant in a grid. That’s the only really essential mod you need any more.
I thought the same thing. But it does look like there’s a stone path leading to it. Still, perhaps a post with a sign would be a practical solution.
I consider most “for profit” corporations as corrupt and amoral.
So, yes. Those are the only ones who pay close to a living wage.
Fair point. I still maintain it’s a cyberpunk genre. After all, increased crime is a pretty big deal in cyberpunk as well.
We might have to agree to disagree on this one. :)
Since I’m invested… what apocalypse happened? Genuine question. It has been a while since I watched it, but the apocalypse happens at the end of Escape from LA, not before New York.
All solid points. The lack of computer tech really is the weak point in my argument. But I’d also argue you can have a cyberpunk setting without computer tech being a focal point of the story. In which case, the only remaining point is does this society have a higher level of computer technology? And the answer to that is indeterminate based on the information shown. But I do feel like it’s strongly hinted at.
I’d say the prison walls qualify.
It’s been a long while since I watched the movie, but there were some examples of high(er) tech being used. Its likely a limited budget/imagination of the times that prohibited the details.
Lol. “Are there indications that the society is oppressive?” Dude they turned Manhattan into a prison because they couldn’t build enough prisons to house their prisoners. I’d say that’s a pretty good indication of oppression. Don’t forget they did the same to LA. If you have to do shit like that, that’s pretty oppressive I’d say.
Not to mention there were several (iirc) prisoners there for both political and bullshit reasons. (It’s been a while, can’t think of any specific examples.)
And the world isn’t just New York. There was the “Escape from Cleveland” story that strongly hints at a very lawless land.
About the only flaw in the definition is the computer technology part, but I’d say that’s a limitation of the time the movie was made, but there were several other samples of high tech stuff going on. Perhaps not CPU focused, but close enough to fit the definition I feel.
> a genre of science fiction set in a lawless subculture of an oppressive society dominated by computer technology.
Yup. Fits that definition I’d say.
Edit: since I’ve been thinking about it, if we include Escape From LA there was that cyber world that the bad guy seduces the president’s daughter in. That was a good indication of cyber-ness.
Perhaps not high-cyberpunk, but definitely low-cyberpunk.
I don’t think there is a James Bond origin story. So it would be original and not a reboot.
