Some of you might remember me as the guy who built CyberpunkHub.com, a small side project that tries to catalogue every cyberpunk film, series, game, book, and short out there.

I have been down with Covid for the past few days and, with too much time and not enough energy to do anything useful, I started adding more cyberpunk shorts to the database. Somewhere between fever and caffeine I had a strange idea: what if I made a player that could pull entries that have links to full-length content (usually shorts) and play them right inside the site.

So I kind of gorilla-taped one together while half hallucinating.

You can try it here: https://cyberpunkhub.com/player

It can even be installed as a PWA app on mobile or tablet.

There is also a very early TV version that you can test in your browser using a keyboard: https://cyberpunkhub.com/player?tv=1

Just to be clear, I am not hosting any of the actual content. All videos come from YouTube, Vimeo, and occasionally direct mp4 links that are already public. It might not always work perfectly, but that is part of the charm of something coded under the influence of Covid. * Probably useless for now, but it was fun to build while being sick in bed and pretending to be a futuristic hacker trapped in quarantine. *

It feels very wrong. A cyberpunk Barbie would have made more sense than this.

I take it they want to ride the wave of the releases on new hardware, like Switch 2 and Xbox ROG.

Robocop one is rather close.

It would certainly be cool but there is no data available to do this the easy and semi-automatic way.

I believe it is manga.

On this note, please stop me from making irrational decisions.

Robocop was the first true Cyberpunk movie I've watched as a kid and I keep coming back to it every two years.

It does look 15 years old but still cool!

If it has robots, it is already 70% cyberpunk in my book :)

Matrix Resurrections was Terminator Genisys bad. It took real effort not to look away from the screen.

The action was weak with constant slow motion and no impact. Neo spends the whole movie spamming force pushes. Trinity's return made no sense and had zero buildup. Morpheus was turned into a meme. Smith was just some guy with no presence. The new crew was forgettable. The meta commentary was embarrassing and killed any immersion. It felt like the film hated being a Matrix movie and wanted out.

 

Hey everyone, I’m a bit nervous about sharing this. I haven’t touched any code in over a decade, but recently I decided to give it another go. Back in the early 2000s, I used to experiment with basic websites as a hobby, and now I’ve built a small database of cyberpunk media, games, and literature from scratch.

I have a thing for cassette futurism, so the design is pretty plain. I hope it might be useful, and I’ll do my best to keep adding new entries regularly. If you notice anything I’ve missed or have any suggestions, I’d really appreciate your input.

Thanks for taking a look!
