I’ll stand by until the day I die that Shadowruns magic allows for some of the best punk aspects for Cyberpunk. Just like the Fantasy genre uses supernatural and extreme settings to explore things easier than real life, a magic system that’s foundationally opposed to the technological exploitation of Cyberpunk has amazing storytelling potential.


I’d be really hesitant with Benn’s videos here. I think Andy Masley has a pretty solid piece describing how they are likely incorrect and possibly even deceptive. There’s enough reasons to hate data center expansions and AI that I don’t think it’s particularly helpful to promote ideas like infrasound majorly affecting our health, as I’d think it dilutes some otherwise important arguments with things that are factually dubious.
