Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

It's amazing that almost all of these now fit together in a single device that you can shove up your butt.

i dunno, a vhs cassette is still pretty big. A vcr is bigger.

Granted, it might take a bit of practice and lube.

Just go slow and leave the cord out for retrieval

And here I sit with a laser pointer in my lap. Crazy cat lady by day, cyberpunk by night.

I just love that the captioner got to the pager and was like--yeah, sure. right

Can we go back to this please? My phone can probably do everything in that picture and better. That's so fucking boring. Sure, you never have "gee I sure wish I'd brought my camera" moments when every phone has a camera. At the same time though, you actually have things. Idk if it's just me, but I'm kinda getting tired with how it seems owning physical items is becoming the premium thing.

The fact that "laser hassling" didn't get a thing for "punks" is something I am happy about.

30 years on, that guy still had all those gadgets dangling from his belt, but now he’s the crazy old guy who lives in the junkyard

Reminds me of The Real Cyberpunk Fakebook

(Reply was meant to be top-level, oops)

That really looks like Dan Avidan from Ninja Sex Party and Game Grumps.

I guess I am? My phone is 95% of those things. XD

Every good cyberpunk has a PowerBook.
