I found this clip in one of those distressing meme compilations from 2024 and I was wondering if anyone knew where it's from?

For example, I find the instant coffees with L-Theanine and other additives (ie everyday dose) to be on the nose; cheap nootropics in the form of an easily consumable drink to substitute nutrients that could be found in increasingly inaccessible and expensive organic products. Same thing with those Chinese electronics that clean things like your glasses, clean your shoes…additionally, air purifiers. Especially during an ongoing pandemic that has been largely downplayed.

I ask purely out of boredom. I was journaling this morning about how the genre and subculture that largely influenced who I am today is starting to bleed more into our current day in less overt ways. I want to hear what you guys think!

The Awakened Scavenger

Howdy folks!

here's some progress on the retro cyberpunk train.

here's the lounge room, trying to really match or go further with the 90's cyberpunk aesthetic, let me know if you have any ideas on lighting.

i think maybe a bit darker? but im not sure.
do need to add signage as you can't see the stairs very well.

Anyone read Walter John William’s “voice of the whilrwind”

Old school cyberpunk that’s been out for ages.

tl;dr: NYC. What's the required "Don't Miss!"

Difficulty: Manhattan or the County of Kings (that being Brooklyn.)

But next week I'm flying back to my homeland of NYC (for the 25th anniversary of 9/11. I was in the wtc that morning.)

So WHAT, dear wireheads, does the scene look like in NYC nowadays? Is there one?

At this I'll take a dirt bar with more neon than most. A restaurant that serves

Anything. I moved from NYC in '12 and from NY to Tennessee in '15 so I'm absolutely jonesing.

"Actually, Vancouver is the most cyberpunk city." I've heard it a dozen times (and am planning a pilgrimage...soonish.)
