Cyberpunk
What is Cyberpunk?
Cyberpunk is a science-fiction sub-genre dealing with the integration of society and technology in dystopian settings. Often referred to as “low-life and high tech,” Cyberpunk stories deal with outsiders (punks) who fight against the oppressors in society (usually mega corporations that control everything) via technological means (cyber). If the punks aren’t actively fighting against a megacorp, they’re still dealing with living in a world completely dependent on high technology.
Cyberpunk characteristics include:
- Dystopian city setting where mega-corporations rule
- Full integration of technology into society, featuring cybernetic implants
- Outsider protagonists (punks) who often are very familiar with the technology around them
- Hard boiled detective and film noir vibes and influence
- Themes dabbling in trans-humanism, existentialism, and what it means to be human.

Can't wait for the smart 🐓 ring 🤓
A smart rooster ring?
There are smart chastity cages already, I guess this will fill the niche of people wanting to compare erection strength
...I might lack some imagination, but... why? Why does such a thing need any smart-features? Does it play "BOYOYOYOIINNGGGG!" sound effects when a user pops a boner?
Not an exaggeration, it's so you can give control of it to random E-girls you pay on the internet
Nice, now I want one for real
beavis soundpack dlc when
If it does I'm buying one.
So that it can be remotely controlled
There's a good amount of design space that exists for remotely controlled sex toys
If it has vibration that can be remotely controlled it's a billion dollar idea.
fairly sure all kinds of vibrators have been figured out already.
But also, I can't help but to think hearing a faint buzzing in a meeting, and everyone just stares and asks "you gonna answer or cancel that call already?" BOJOINNGGG
Sure. That sounds glorious
So you can hacked and asked for a ransom.
Advanced findom.
findom as a service.
That is legitimately one of the use cases. People buy one and then hand the keys (so to speak) to someone remote, maybe even a findom content creator online.
I don't get the appeal, but it's a thing.
... huh, well, as long as everyone participating is happy with the arrangement, I guess.
To me that just sounds like a privacy/security nightmare waiting to happen. But... maybe that's part of it? I dunno.
I haven't even looked but I can almost guarantee you this already exists.
They do. tbh, it's not great. Basically only use it with a partner so it's more the connection with the partner that gets me off more than anything else.
You're not worried about it slipping off constantly?
:D
