/tg/ develops a dystopian cyberpunk setting

Cyberpunk doesn't require a natural disaster to be a dystopia

And? A natural disaster makes things much more interesting. Combined with the ensuing economic collapse and refugee crisis, dystopia isn't only possible, it's plausible.

How does an earthquake cause hurricanes?

>>53793402

Could hurricanes be side effect of extreme tsunamis?

If you want a natural disaster that's plausible, why not have Yellowstone Mega-eruption happen? Then we can have the worldwide spiral downturn and the cybered-up revival afterwards.

>Could hurricanes be side effect of extreme tsunamis?

Tsunamis aren't even noticeable aboard ship in the deep ocean and can only be detected by specialized buoys, satellites, etc.

Just how a tsunami is going to create warmer surface water temperatures, winds above 75mph, a cyclonic system of storm clouds and all the rest is a question morons like you and the OP cannot answer.

If you fucking idiots are going to suggest that a natural disaster leads to your dystopian cyberpunk setting, let me suggest that you first do a little reading about various natural disasters.

For example, the moron OP used the term "Richter scale" because the only thing idiots "derp" about earthquakes is the Richter scale. What morons don't know is that the Richter scale is no longer used by seismologists and that the scale "topped out" at 9.5 for purely Earth-based energy releases and anything above that would require an asteroid impact.

30% of the North American West Coast population, jacked into [GENERIC CYBERTEC COMPANY NAME HERE'S] Neuro-Network died when the earthquake and tsunamis caused a massive power outage, frying the brains of everyone jacked in.

Better to have the Yellow Stone caldera and the Phlegraean Fields erupting.

/tg/ sucks at cyberpunk because:

>nobody can agree on what is and isn't cyberpunk
>everyone has different politics they want to inject into the setting to show how their political opponents are pure evil
>cyberpunk blends smoothly into regular scifi and there is no firm boundary

Your attempt is doomed.

well, since its for now only cyberpunk-ish thread on /tg/, i have to ask about corporate lingo.

How would a corporate name highly powerful, military grade combat cybernetics or something similar, especially discreet ones? "Security implants"? "Category 4"?

>Cyberpunk doesn't require a natural disaster to be a dystopia
Did you have a point or were you just upset with the current state of your life

>"Security implants"?
That's a good one. Corporations tend toward euphemisms to maintain a good image.

>Performance enhancers
>Optimizers
>Tactical implants

>>53799431
That's for the corporate market. On the other hand the marketing for the street is very aggressive (Ripper blades, Slasher claws, Head Crusher cyberarm, etc.).

Implants are divided in different categories. Cat. 1 is for fashion ware, Cat. 2 are simple organ replacements, Cat. 3A is cyberware that could be used as a weapon (cyberlimbs) or have weapons implanted, Cat. 3B is strength enhanced 3A cyberware or combat mods that are not usable on their own (smartgun interface, targeting system...), Cat. 3C is implanted armor, Cat. 4 is heavily restricted cyberware like implanted weapons.
