You're missing the point

>likely be thinner than most bullets.

>Having them tumbling through the air would mean they cause more damage to people and make them less likely to penetrate through a wall and hit someone behind.

Nah. The projectile from a rail pistol carry less kinetic energy than a bullet, and be way less lethal. Having a sharp projectile means its areodynamic, and retains its momemntum (and KE) as it experiences drag, but also makes it more likely to peirce clean through a person - which is the opposite of what you want. You want bullets that bounce around and spread inside people cutting them up. Having them tumbling through the air may cause the dart to simply bounce off a person if its not moving fast enough.

Even a CO2, or rubber based mechanism is probably better than rail gun. If rail were a current viable (with small high capacity batteries available), rail might be a preferred technology, having no moving parts would make an incredibly reliable weapon. But the battery limitations make rail vastly inferior for something like a pistol.

I would take an cross bow any day over a rail pistol (except at point blank range, were fast draw matters, and only one shot will be fired).

>>54808

>It could be boiling the water as it passes

Assuming there's even enough humidity in the air, what you get is a retro steam rocket. That would slow the bullet and destabilize it. Sounds silly.

Even underwater, it seems odd that there's be enough time, pressure and heat applied to the tip of the projectile without any counter effect on its own velocity. The projectile would be moving so fast that you'd be flash-boiling water ahead of it.

>>54816

So the bullet needs to carry its own heater. :p

Or come out from a railgun so it's super hot.

>Nah. The projectile from a rail pistol carry less kinetic energy than a bullet, and be way less lethal.

stopped reading there. i dont even think railguns are viable in any way, ever. but why are you making this statement as if it's absolute categorical fact that a railgun will ALWAYS be less powerful than a conventional powder gun? not even comparing ones of similar size; you straight up have said here that ALL em weapons will ALWAYS be weaker than conventional ones ALL THE TIME, REGARDLESS OF ALL OTHER FACTORS.

I'm sure it is priced into cost of admission ticket.

I like the sound of that.

>absolutely this; if people actually did cyber stuff instead of roleplaying for the aesthetics we could actually move forward

I don't think people want that. I posted a tutorial on writing AMD64 assembly to write LS without libc and virtually no response. These boards are mostly full of posts questioning what cyberpunk is. I wish there would be a ton of textfiles kind of posts.

>>57178

yeah because basically everyone here is just larping basically, myself included. might as well head to /tech/, really.

>>57206

Fatalistic Defeatism is 水C水Y水B but not really helpful. Go learn some /cyb/ shit. Buy some bitcoin. DNMs are selling VPNs. Read a Cyber Punk Novel.

buuuuuuump so this doesn't die again

>>55000

Hopefully those digits will revive interest

>>55003

It seems not

necro time

So is this shit going to get revived?

>>53003 (OP)

Darknet Diaries 55 "NoirNet" is a pretty good example of Tech Noir .

Great posts!

other anarchist texts simililar to steal this book. anarchist cookbook etc.

needs more malware

>>49668

i dont buy that. he did time on the inside and died a rebel.

>>49380 (OP)

It would be awesome to add a TOR routed open network through it as well.

>>52227

this. current punk is fash

>>52230

Have a pepsi hooker

>>52230

they havent been "against the grain" since like the 80's

>>52199

Wrong.

Cyberpunk doesn't have a defined political alignment, stop forcing that it has.

>>57153

>Was beginning to think it might have been gone for good.

That's still a possibility

I missed you shazbots, glad to have you back but I don't know how long. is there anywhere we can regroup if the site gets whacked again?

>>57137

I'm having some trouble connecting to the server.

Something to do with the SSL certificate.

>>57166

Nevermind, solved it.

>>57069

only time can tell

>>57098

I think an IRC channel is mandatory.

Hi anon

I made a /cyber/ board over at cafe chan, we could use that as the backup

https://anon.cafe/cyber/

>>57052 (OP)

Was bunkered at lainchan.

Not as comfy. Glad to see this place back. Hidden Service better.

>>56523

the book specifically referred to the techno-gods as Loa. That's a voodoo concept, not a rastafarian one. Rastafarianism is basically a black-exclusive version of catholicism with weed, where Voodoo is a mix of elements of catholicism with african tribal paganism.

>>56990

Theres rastas in neuromancer

Theres voodoos in count zero

>And when, exhausted,the Sixteen had laid by their saxophones and the Synthetic Music ap-paratus was producing the very latest in slow Malthusian Blues, theymight have been twin embryos gently rocking together on the wavesof a bottled ocean of blood-surrogate.

Brave new world should be on the cyberpunk bibliography. Its not cyber but its techno-disutopian with a gibson like lexicon

>Gibson's writing style felt like an ADHD twelve year old on meth. My eyes nearly fucking popped out of my skull trying to follow him from one point to the next.

>Why do you guys suck its dick so much?

I was writing science fiction (more space themed) and my friend who was proofreading it told me to read Neuromancer because I write sort of like him even though I never read Neuromancer or anything from Gibson. Neither of my main characters are hackers.

>Gibson's writing style felt like an ADHD twelve year old on meth.

So if this means jumping from one POV to the other, except I mark POV character jumps, should I take this as a good thing or a bad thing.

>>57013

>their constant negative mindset that keeps them poor

nice internal rationalisation, mr. upjumped tradesman

>>57016

actually I'm a software engineer.

>>57014

yes, it's the jews. that's why you're poor. lol

>>57019

Non-poorfag here.

Can confirm, still the Jews.

>>45527

Not bad. Is it monospace? I'm looking for a nice vector terminal font that has a bold variant and Noto doesn't work at all.

>>46145

ayyy fixing this thread

>No it isn't. You've just gone from base 16,581,375 to base 255.

Epic misunderstanding.Everything is stored in base 2 anyway. There are 255 extended ASCII characters because 2^8 = 255. Not base 255. Unicode is similar (with more bytes per character) except not all unicode code points are yet defined. Nothing is base 16,581,375 nor would representing things in a base like that be practical or /cyber in anyway

>>49648

He might be using "base" incorrectly, but what he is trying to say is that intentionally handicapping your truecolor monitor to monochrome scale only removes information from screen.

I'm also not sure where number 16,581,375 comes from, he probably meant 16,777,215 (2^24 for three 8-bit channels).

I forget where the Decker font is from, but I know I found it when I found the Shadowrun font.

I had a camera in between mini DV recorders and Canon DSLRs before the smart phone wave and it used something like this. Encoding was shit tho
