Yo, please add some alt text to this. See rule 0.5 in the sidebarNVM that, I overlooked it as mentioned below
It should already have a quite detailed alt text. Does it not display when the image is hovered over with the mouse?
My apologies! I seem to have overlooked it while checking the posts for the last few days…
No worries! Slrpnk.net was down until a few hours ago, perhaps that broke the alt-text from showing up? Last time it went down, I noticed a banner and community icon I had uploaded from slrpnk to a community on a different instance broke. I was surprised to learn that it had been pulling those images from my instance the entire time instead of it being stored on the outside instance, so maybe the same thing happens with alt-text?
Art Deco FTW!
I’ve always thought that a fusion of art deco and 90’s anime cyberpunk would look cool, but I have none of the skills to do it justice.
Edit: Someone mentioned Deus Ex Human Revolution, which is pretty close to what I’m describing.
How about Elizabethan cyberpunk that is Art Deco adjacent?

Takes a bit to get accustomed to the textures, but a fun adaptation.
It is a science fiction adaptation of the 1844 novel The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas
I’m in.
Or at least the semifinals bracket with art nouveau surrealism and the one i can never remember the name of.
Yeah, that one!
I stumbled upon a recent game called Technotopia in Art Deco style. It’s not my type of game, but i liked the optics very much!
Well, you just cost me $5. I hope you’re happy.
if you like it, then i am :-) like i said, i really liked the art style and the story doesn’t seem half bad :-)
Since you said 5$, you probably directly bought from steam; isthereanydeal.com shows me that the humble store has it for 2,74$ for a steam key – GOG for 3$ if you want to go drm free – if you want to save 2 bucks!
Thanks! It really does look neat! Getting heavy Cultist Simulator vibes, for some reason:-?
it’s not THAT deep from what i saw, the price difference between CS and this is well deserved. But it’s pretty relaxing. just a shame that there isn’t an endless mode from what i saw.
Yeah, it’s hard to explain, it’s not to the gameplay, more, like… the overall vibe I get from it, maybe aesthetically, maybe atmospherically, something thereabouts:))
Honestly sounds kinda’ nice right now, too much Darktide…
Unironically do love Art Deco aesthetics.
If it’s between Art Deco and Cubicle Glass And Steel, gimme that damned gold pinstripe filigree! A bit too sharp a detail material for my tastes, but at least it has some soul behind it! (and goes well with black, totally impartial on this one, honest:")
Oh! OH! If Deus Ex: Human Revolution was the aesthetic of our near future, I would NOT be disappointed, either! Renaissance mainly, sure, but those thin lines, smoky contrasts and overall vibe, that’s pure Art Deco influence to me. Neo-Noir by way of XVIth Century Venice!:)))
Cubicle Glass And Steel,
Brutalist.
I wanna know what the weird shit they were doing in the 60’s and 70’s was called. Especially the rooms that have a faux outdoor look to them, like a fireplace but the entire wall is just a boulder.
Gods, how I’ve missed The Charleston!
Nice username
Many circumstances had to align for us to be graced with this trifecta of perfection, and I’m rather grateful to be counted amongst its witnesses.
I am glad to have been a prophet for this divine event
What a shame that I’m very much not a shark. At all. But all the same, want to grab a coffee?
We are bringing other things back, too. How can things develop differently?
I guess the biggest difference this time is that the internet exists, and last time they didn’t have a climate crisis that requires the abolishment of capitalism to survive. So, bad news is we’re doing a repeat, but good news is the motivation and reasons to defeat fascism have never been higher!
Let’s hope we’re able to learn from lessons of the past as we find new ways to save ourselves, and the people finally come out on top. We’ve a got a lot riding on it.
I agree, if we don’t believe things can get better why continue living? Why even have a political position at all? What’s it all for if we don’t have faith the world can do better?
Also, in my opinion Anarcho-syndicalism as based as it is, isn’t what we really need right now.
I agree syndicalism is not the answer today.
While I advocate for unionizing with syndicalist unions like the IWW, it’s not going to provide a long term solution on its own. I see it as one piece of a larger puzzle.
It helps gain some people a bit of breathing room with something closer to living wages, helps educate people of the power they can wield collectively, and pushes the needle forward in regards to realizing a general strike.
I think what holds it back from being able to achieve victory on its own is that a lot if collective effort us expended toward simply gaining back what is stolen by corporations, and less on community prefiguration. It’s also hard to keep members in such a politically diverse umbrella focused on revolutionary class warfare, instead of being satisfied at a certain point of reform or concession from the corporations.
It’d still a useful tool, and one method I haven’t really seen tried or described, is the idea of a worker coop actively funding syndicalist unions for their capitalist competitors to make it easier to compete.
What do we need?
Don’t forget putting everything on credit
Why Anarcho Syndaclism in particular?
the 1920’s and 30’s were the height of Anarcho-syndicalism’s popularity, culminating in an Anarcho-syndicalist revolution in the city of Catalonia during the Spanish Civil War.
All of the things in the comic are popular trends from the 1920’s.
Thanks!
What was the type of anarchism that Czolgosz was?
I don’t think he adopted a particular flavor, he seemed to be into standard anarchism, far as I can tell. Or at least, what he gathered from the anarchists he spoke to.
I ABSOLUTELY want Art Deco and Flappers
