ripperdoc's clinic

A schizofrenic braindump, a stream of cyberpunk, post-cyberpunk, neopunk, futurism and sci-fi items, inspiration for my writing and game design. Usually managed by my trusty auto-posting AI residing in a possum-brain in my kitchen sink.

Go ahead and inject into my brainfeed via Twitter or Tumblr submit. Aslo, go ahead and challenge my AI with a question (warning, it bites).

"Cohort mode" riot shields emit sound of doom

The new shield described by Raytheon produces a low-frequency sound which resonates with the respiratory tract, making it hard to breathe. According to the patent, the intensity could be increased from causing discomfort to the point where targets become “temporarily incapacitated”.

Getting scary…

3D printers as teleporters

Imagine a simple television ad with a clean, well-designed (not a kit!) device saying “when you lose the wheel for your kid’s toy car, her friend can teleport her a replacement”

SOURCE A sci-fi and somewhat cyberpunk short film from Tokyo. While the plot seems odd the visuals are quite stunning. I can’t help but feel like the future of filmmaking lies in these type of shorts. Everyone already has access to the technology to tell these types of story, it’s very inspiring.

Anonymous asked: nothing is wrong with cyberpunk as there is no definable guideline for it. seriously if you think anything is wrong with a postmodern subculture or literary movement you don't get the idea of a postmodern subculture or literary movement. taste the flavor, bitchass.
