Podcasts about Cyberpunk

We got a special treat this week as our Aussie columnist and player housing enthusiast Sara Hanson joined the podcast. She walked us through a lot of the very recent changes to how certain player housing features work, and discusses some of the things the housing community is trying to uncover, like which pets do what when they're hanging out, now that we can add them. She also has strong opinions on transmog, much like the rest of our hosts, so they had to discuss both the new cash shop offerings and this month's Trading Post, which we got an advance preview of. And not only an advance preview, but this one will bring back a bunch of older offerings as well, for a Trading Post megamix.Also something something Mythic Raiding race, or whatever. You know we're focused on the real end game, here.We also waded through some Gamescom news, which included CD Projekt Red teaming up with Blizzard, bringing The Witcher to the Battle.net launcher — and teasing some future announcements for BlizzCon. Of course, Matt thinks this means Cyberpunk on the Battle.net launcher, but Cory isn't the only one who can huff hopium around here. But Gamescom isn't all sunshine — several projects showcased are apparently using AI heavily in their development process. If I were a sim, I would have two red minus signs above my head in Crazy Taxi's general direction right now.If you have a few minutes, please fill out our survey to tell us what you think about the podcast.

CyberPunks are back! Mutation Software returns to the Amiga with CyberPunks 2, a frantic futuristic team-based shooter.

Welcome back to Night City, where Tyler has acquired a another cat, Randall has acquired a bedazzled bulletproof vest, and Ash has apparently acquired the Cyberpunk equivalent of Five Nights at Freddy's. This week, Marky Day becomes Marky Knight and walks willingly into something everyone immediately identifies as a murder hallway. Dave gets set on fire by a computer, Marky discovers that cartoon mascots are weak against bullets, and together they spend every remaining resource to adopt a homicidal digital hyena. Somehow, all of this turns out to be the easy part, because at the end of the hallway is a cybernetic nightmare, their kidnapped employer, and a corporate executive offering them double their money to please stop asking questions. Welcome to Cyberpunk RED, chooms. Capitalism has a boss fight. Show Notes Marky Day and Dave Costanzo reach the twentieth floor of Discom and immediately discover that the cheerful corporate mascots are actually armed security drones. While Marky fights Buster Swine and Electric Bunny in meat space, Dave dives into the Net Architecture, battles a Hellhound, catches fire, and eventually hijacks Hyperactive Hyena to turn Discom's own security against itself. After stabilizing a seriously wounded Marky, Dave pushes deeper into the network and uncovers evidence that Discom has been targeting local 3D artists. J-ZK's name has been crossed off the list with the ominous note that she is no longer an issue. Behind the final door, they find J-ZK restrained and wired into machinery. Mr. Frommiter reveals that he is also Gangster 3D and admits that he kidnapped her after she refused to work for Discom. He offers Marky and Dave double their original payment to walk away. Marky chooses violence. Key Takeaways Marky battles Discom's armed mascot drones while Dave Netruns simultaneously. Dave survives a Hellhound attack, gets set on fire, and later loses his Sword program to an Asp. Marky is seriously wounded but stabilized with First Aid. Dave spends all his Luck to hijack Hyperactive Hyena and turn it against Discom. Discom has been pressuring and recruiting 3D artists across Night City. Mr. Frommiter and Gangster 3D are the same person. J-ZK has been kidnapped and forcibly connected to Discom's equipment. Frommiter offers the team double their pay to leave.

Today's NPC Prompts were: Cyberpunk, Shapeshifter, Chaotic Good, Highly Empathic on both extremes, Skin Projector Implant, Surface Thoughts Implant, Relies on Non-Lethal WeaponsPeople are often so surface level with their implants. But not Myco. This creative non-binary chooses to change their look constantly with the help of a skin-projector. They can make themselves look like anyone! But that's not all. A surface though implant also helps them catch glimpses of the minds of others. Why? It's hard to be a sociopath and NOT want to hurt people. So scanning their thoughts seems the most reasonable solution. Right?

Ep. 32 - Ghost in the Shell & The MatrixThis week, we are plugging into the digital void with Mamoru Oshii's Ghost in the Shell (1995) and the Wachowskis' The Matrix (1999). These prophetic cyberpunk cornerstones take radically different approaches to artificial intelligence and human identity. We look at how Ghost in the Shell questions the boundaries of the soul when humanity and technology converge, and how The Matrix flips that dynamic entirely. Instead of merging with machine intelligence, humanity created something that destroyed its world, leaving a future that might ultimately belong to the machines. It is a double feature about digital existentialism, cybernetic anxiety, and the terrifying line between simulated realities and authentic selfhood. Whether it is Motoko Kusanagi questioning her own consciousness or Neo waking up in a pod, both films forced sci-fi cinema into a bold new era.

Dive beneath the waves into one of the most imaginative indie science fiction worlds I've explored this year!

Character creation in Cyberpunk RED is simple. First, choose whether you want to be a violent criminal, a corporate criminal, or a musician who can accidentally start a cult. Then roll enough childhood trauma to explain why you live in a shipping container. This week, Randall creates Cyberpunk Mr. Rogers, a relentlessly loving rockerboy whose most treasured possession is a weapon, while Tyler creates a fashionable netrunner who values money, wants power, steals programs from people he brain-burns, and has somehow made a mortal enemy entirely through bad vibes. Meanwhile, Riverside attempts to achieve sentience by transforming Ash into a robot every time he says something useful. Show Notes In the second installment of our Cyberpunk RED Quickstart, Ash guides Randall and Tyler through character creation while Riverside fights desperately to prevent the information from reaching anyone. We begin with Cyberpunk RED's three character-creation methods. Streetrat gets a character onto the streets quickly with mostly predetermined options. Complete Package gives experienced players much more control over their statistics, skills, equipment, fashion, and cyberware. Between them is Edgerunner, which provides meaningful choices while keeping new players away from the most dangerous form of cyberpsychosis: analysis paralysis. Ash introduces the game's roles, including Solos, Netrunners, Techs, Medtechs, Medias, Execs, Lawmen, Fixers, Nomads, and Rockerboys. Randall briefly considers playing an Exec before discovering that a Rockerboy can become a cult leader through Charismatic Impact. At that point, the decision is effectively over. Tyler chooses a Netrunner, giving the team one character who gathers followers and another who steals people's files. The Lifepath system quickly demonstrates why Cyberpunk characters rarely arrive in Night City emotionally healthy. Randall develops a silly, free-spirited rockerboy who values friendship, believes every person matters, and loves everyone too much to name a single favorite person. He grew up around comfortable corporate technicians before living aboard a traveling ship, where musicians taught him to perform. Then the ship sank. His family and mentor died, but Randall's character survived by floating to safety on his mentor's acoustic guitar. After living freely on an island, he was eventually rescued and returned to a society he no longer believes anyone needs. His new mission is to escape life on the street and bring everyone else with him. He is essentially Cyberpunk Mr. Rogers, assuming Mr. Rogers had piercings, cyberware, and a guitar that kills fascists. Tyler's Netrunner develops in the opposite direction. He is sneaky, deceptive, fashionable, motivated by money, and interested in gaining power and control. He grew up in a nomad pack among ruined settlements before his family lost everything through betrayal. He works alone from a workspace full of gamer debris, accepts jobs from media figures and political or law-enforcement contacts, and has local gangers protecting his territory. He also steals programs from Netrunners after brain-burning them, which raises several questions about why anyone continues giving Tyler characters unrestricted access to technology. Both characters somehow roll three friends, multiple enemies, and enough tragic relationships to support several seasons of prestige television. One shared rival may merely insult Randall's rockerboy but wants to murder Tyler's Netrunner on sight, apparently because Tyler's personality failed a vibe check so badly that it became a capital offense. The episode finishes with statistics, derived attributes, skills, weapons, armor, fashion, housing, and cyberware. Randall's Rockerboy receives an audio recorder, chemskin, a cyberaudio suite, and tech hair. Both characters begin life in cargo containers, because even in the dark future, affordable housing remains the most unrealistic part of science fiction. Finally, Randall names his new rockerboy Marky Day, short for Marquette Lafayette. The stage is set for Marky and Tyler's deeply suspicious Netrunner to enter Night City, find work, make enemies, and enjoy the approximate life expectancy of a mayfly standing beneath an Arasaka boot. Key Takeaways Cyberpunk RED offers three approaches to character creation: the fast Streetrat method, the guided Edgerunner method, and the highly customizable Complete Package. Edgerunner is presented as the strongest option for new players because it offers choices while keeping characters functional in their selected roles. Roles define much more than combat abilities. They determine how characters influence the setting, find work, form connections, and solve problems. Execs can be challenging for inexperienced players because their corporate loyalties may clash with the anti-establishment motivations of other characters. Rockerboys use Charismatic Impact to influence fans and larger groups. They do not need to be musicians and can instead be poets, artists, dancers, political speakers, or cult leaders. The Lifepath system is the heart of character creation. Random results establish personality, cultural background, clothing, relationships, family history, enemies, romances, goals, and role-specific connections. Players are not always required to accept a random result literally. The group frequently interprets, expands, combines, or rerolls results to create a more coherent character. Randall's Rockerboy becomes a hopeful, compassionate performer whose optimism is supported by a profoundly tragic history. Tyler's Netrunner becomes an ambitious and morally questionable hacker with criminal contacts, a messy workspace, stolen programs, and multiple people who want him dead. Fashion has social importance. Clothing affects how characters are perceived by corporate employees, street contacts, potential clients, and criminals. Characters must balance equipment and cyberware against their available money and Humanity. More cyberware provides useful abilities but gradually reduces the character's Humanity and Empathy. Starting characters begin at rank four in their primary role ability. Lower ranks exist partly to support acquiring abilities from additional roles later. Both characters begin in cargo-container housing, establishing their place near the bottom of Night City's economic food chain. Character creation succeeds because the mechanics generate story hooks rather than merely numbers. Before the game begins, the characters already have friends, enemies, trauma, ambitions, rivalries, and several excellent reasons for everything to go terribly wrong.

Today's NPC Prompts were: Cyberpunk, Squirrel, Escaped Cyborg Experiment, Integrated Vaporizer Cannon, Chaotic Neutral, Scavenges Metal and Tech to Regenerate, Getting Too Close Activates Cannon, Submitted by Echo of Snac​A bulletin flashes across your HUD: an experimental specimen has escaped from Apex Innovations Labs. Looking up into the maze of neon-lit power lines, you spot a pair of glowing green eyes watching you. Beneath its patchwork fur, the cybernetic squirrel repairs itself by consuming scavenged metal and technology. Usually timid, it fiercely defends itself and any creature it deems an ally, unleashing an integrated vaporizer cannon when threatened.

Pierce Brown is an American novelist whose work has made him one of the defining voices in modern science fiction. After a restless childhood that saw his family move repeatedly and left him passing through more than ten schools, he began writing in earnest just after high school. After years of rejection, he found his breakthrough with Red Rising, the first instalment in an epic saga that fused classical tragedy, Roman myth, and space opera into an international bestseller.Since then, the series has grown into a global phenomenon, winning a devoted readership for its high-stakes politics and fierce emotional intensity. Alongside his work as a novelist, he has embraced gaming culture—contributing to the Red Rising board game and speaking openly about his love of everything from StarCraft II to Mass Effect and Cyberpunk. Now, as the series is being reissued in special tenth-anniversary editions, a new generation of readers is discovering the world that made his name.LINKSPierce Brown – website & booksPierce Brown – official websiteRed Rising – the complete sagaRed Rising: Sons of Ares – prequel comic seriesPierce Brown – Instagram (@piercebrownofficial)Red Rising board gameRed Rising – Stonemaier Games (designed by Jamey Stegmaier)Pierce's Perfect ConsoleCommand & Conquer (1995) – WikipediaCommand & Conquer: Red Alert – WikipediaCommand & Conquer: Tiberian Sun – WikipediaShogun: Total War (2000) – WikipediaTotal War series – official siteBaldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn – WikipediaBlack & White (2001) – WikipediaThe Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind – WikipediaBooks and other references mentionedPlato's Republic – WikipediaAntigone by Sophocles – WikipediaThe Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas – WikipediaEnder's Game by Orson Scott Card – WikipediaThe First Law trilogy by Joe AbercrombieGattaca (1997 film) – WikipediaGustave Doré – illustrator, WikipediaSupport the showMy Perfect Console – episode archiveSupport My Perfect Console on PatreonBecome a My Perfect Console supporter and receive a range of benefits at www.patreon.com/myperfectconsoleTake the Acast listener survey to help shape the show: My Perfect Console with Simon Parkin Survey 2025 Hosted on Acast.
