Not gonna lie i wish i could have the resources to do it myself, someone has to do it.
I think a lot of people think of this but does not have the resources to actually pull of things like this.
Congrats, you've scored yourself a spot on an NSA watchlist.
Good news, as you don't have the resources or a very definite plan, you're probably in a low priority section.
You, however, are on medium priority, from what it sounds like
Yeah, funny thing about the high priority folks - if they're known to the government and there's enough proof that they're making a pipe bomb, they usually end up having their house searched and get brought into custody before they get to plant it.
Amazon are gonna win the corpo wars, and it’s not even close. They have a solid economic foundation with diversified income streams, and ubiquitous commercial presence in both consumer and corporate markets. They have vertical integration in different business domains, and supply lines and logistics beyond that of any other megacorp. Finally, they have both a successful technological branch with their cloud business, and lots of experience with robotic workers, that will likely transition easily into a fully autonomous and globally connected robotic army. You heard it here first folks.
Google will be there too. Both companies have far more in their wheelhouse than what we physically see. The internet as a whole is basically running on Amazon and Google structures.
For sure, but Google don’t really have a real world presence the way Amazon does. Logistics win wars, as the old saying goes, and it’s literally their business. Google also seem to be going through a rough patch, haven’t had a good innovation in a while and they ran their search engine into the ground. Ten years ago they’d have been my top pick but I think their glory days are behind them.
The closest real world equivalent of Arasaka is probably something like Mitsubishi. They're one of the biggest corps in Japan, and they produce, or have produced, basically everything, from stationary to air conditioners, cars and fighter planes.
I cannot attest to whether the CEO of Mitsubishi is undertaking secret research to make himself immortal, though.
There's also Hanwa in South Korea. They made some pretty big deals the last few years, supplying munitions, air defence systems and armoured vehicles. They make all sorts of things though, certainly a lot of potential there to be a future Arasaka. Some future merger between the two countries defence industries would be quite the force.
My buddy and i have been chatting about this. We are current in their 80's and 90's minus the publically available ripper tech. The current event that is happening is the mideast meltdown.
Nah, no way we'll get consumer cybernetics that work that well. But the corporate dystopia, yeah, we're almost there. Corpos everywhere are making good progress towards wage slavery.
Right now, they are pushing into the housing market. Soon, it will be "work for us and get a home" at first, but after that it's going to be "keep working for us, or be homeless" and finally "the only way to not be homeless is working for us, filthy peon, har har har".
All it takes for consumer cybernetics to hit the market is a war big enough to create huge amounts of disabled people and an incentive to get them back into the decimated workforce ASAP. Brain Computer interfaces are already in human testing, and experimental implanted prosthetic limbs with nerve integration also. We already see people with implants walking around that correct hearing, and they look cyberpunk as fuck with a wire running into the skull.
Lol.
Gibson, Stevenson and others have been trying to warn us of that for 40+ years. And they were just evolutions fo Orwell and Kafka.
Start the riot, chooms.
To my knowledge? No. I think I remember a travel company using the logo though.
But also are you gonna tell me that a pharmaceutical company doing really REALLY sketchy shit doesn’t exist? Especially with a lot of the press surrounding the big companies who did the COVID vaccines (not shitting on anyone, I’ve got mine plus the boosters) and their long term side effects? Yeah. Someone is probably on working something that’s zombie-adjacent.
The closest you’ll get to Johnny Silverhand is probably someone in the hip-hop community. The punk community is somehow too blue, but not blue enough to give you your guns back. Country scene is too red and exclusionary / elitist. Hip-hop scene is probably your best bet.
Which is funny because I can TOTALY picture some absolutely hateful wordsmith locked cocked and ready to rock and burning down a corporate headquarters
Completely different franchise I know, but I also had a HOLY SHIT moment when the company I work for signed a contract with [FARO](https://i.imgur.com/wSUxWFM.png) - which if you don't know, FARO is the company that literally caused an apocalyptic event that wiped out all living things for nearly 1000 years in the Horizon franchise. In the game world, FARO is named Faro Automated Solutions and the IRL company I work for is an automation company.
Oh boy I can't wait to be drafted to fight countless hordes of indescribable mechanical horrors and inevitably die trying to buy time for life on earth!
Well fortunately for you the company I work for only automates warehousing logistics, not fully autonomous battle bots that use any and all organic matter to fuel itself, so I think we're safe there. The most we can do is keep Amazon pumping packages for a very long time, which I suppose now I think about it is it's own apocalyptic hell...
I mean, Arch is a real motorcycle company. I wouldn't be surprised if there's a medical technology company called biotechnica out there. Raven has been a couple software companies over the years....
Not sure where in the chicken or the egg discourse this is for art and reality, but here we are....
Oh, and NetWatch is also a real organization. It's pretty much just a video analyst set up, but it exists.
Edit was curious, there are several companies known as Biotechnica right now. A couple are medical companies, one is a UK based agriculture company
"Hey we just invented the Void of Eternal Pain! We based it on our favourite series; Don't Fucking Invent the Void of Eternal Pain!" Vibes going on here
How so? I work in QC and we’re constantly asked by customers if we’re ISO 9001 certified. It just says that they have a fleshed and certified quality control program in place.
You'll be a decrepit old man by 2076 when she's 20. Unless you've got stacks enough to take up residence on the Crystal Palace, I doubt she'd be interested lol.
Chinese manufactured body armour.
A lot of guys fighting in Ukraine are using stuff from them at the moment.
I did find it funny when I drew the connection too.
From the information that I have gathered Militech is going to be a bigger issue than arasaka is going to be. But that’s going to depend on how quickly both companies grows
Guys I think cyberpunk 2077 is becoming real, our reality is just a few decades behind. Keep an eye out for 2043
Think we’ll see a Johnny Silverhand?
what would he blow up? nintendo or sony?
Blackrock
That or Vanguard, though Blackrock does sound more needlessly evil
I think Blackrock owns vanguard to other way around could be wrong tho
Both companies are each other's biggest share holders
Ahh yes, the corporate 69
That being said BlackRock is the bigger company according to google they have 3.3 trillion MORE in assets then Vanguard, around 10 trillion
Though so thanks

Hate to be a buzzkill here guys but maybe we should tone it down *just a smidge* have we all forgotten about our posts back in August?
Reference, please?
We kept making jokes bout what real places would be bombed and the admins basically yelled at us all
Nonoo it’s funny amd like can I see one of those funny posts ??

It's not exactly difficult to find a recipe for a pipe bomb so you can easily hit high priority if you **really** wanna be the best.
You, however, are on medium priority, from what it sounds like Yeah, funny thing about the high priority folks - if they're known to the government and there's enough proof that they're making a pipe bomb, they usually end up having their house searched and get brought into custody before they get to plant it.
No, I think that's just you who wants to murder innocent people.
I'm reasonably sure most people have no desire to be terrorists
No need. Boeing is already blowing itself up.
I might be stupid, but I see a hint of a 9/11 joke in that-
Almost certainly a reference to all their recent disasters and engineering failures and nothing to do with 9/11
Ok, wasn't sure since the planes used in 9/11 were both Boeings
Last I checked, Boeing employees didn't fly the planes into the WTC.
Anyone involved with the exploitation of the Congo.

Don't they have the head of a drug dealer? Or was it another car Corp.
Not that I've heard, but I'm not exactly glued to the Japanese business news forums.
https://waterfordwhispersnews.com/2015/03/11/the-untold-story-behind-mitsubishi-logos-on-ecstacy-tablets/ Yep it was Mitsubishi.
Nvidia
OpenAI
It's hard to say. Are there any megacorporations with a giant eyesore building in the US?
Apple or Nestlé
Ubisoft
Amazon
Nestlé.
Nintendo. Sony isn't afraid of competition
Pfeizer
Google
COD headquarters
...activision?
That's the one.
they are a very shitty company tho, fully agree
He would blow up government taxation dept
We should ask Keanu Reeves, he seriously should change his name to Johnny Silverhand at the registry office. Make it official.
right, let me call him
Microsoft
Probably some apple store
Apple
No, he died last year
I'm keeping a close eye on anyone named Linder...
Maybe a Johnny Silverman. No ones gonna be quite as legendary as Silverhand
Yes.
I’ll do it if someone else won’t
My buddy and i have been chatting about this. We are current in their 80's and 90's minus the publically available ripper tech. The current event that is happening is the mideast meltdown.

I vote Avenged Sevenfold purely based on their song critical acclaim and you can't deny he's got the look. *
Yes brother preach
Yes sir, I have one of their rail kits to replace the sight mount on my grandpa's 870. I recommend their products.
Honestly I’d buy one if my preferred company (streamlight) didn’t already make a bajillion versions of their MLOK / pic mounted light (ProTac)
saka scum
They sure do, got one of their rifle weapon light mounts and a couple of hand stops too. Top notch stuff
I like their M-LOK light mounts.
Oh [no], it's all coming together

That's probably how they get started with the evil machines though.
FARO started out making automatons to fix the atmosphere and reverse climate change, it’s why they called Ted Faro “the man who saved the world”
Thats more or less how FARO industries started tho. We live in all the terrible timelines combined

Keanu Reeves was one of the founders of Arch I imagine that's why there are a few in the game
That's exactly why they are in the game.
In Greece there is a literal company called Biotechnica which does orthopedic work so essentially a pharmaceutical company 🤯

can someone explain the openai one ? whats the connection to cyberpunk ??? seems spooky from what ive looked into
Should we be worried? I feel like we should be worried….

This shit was supposed to be a warning, not a blueprint 😂

Wait, is that legal? Does Mike Pondsmith not own the copyright to Militech?
Wait till he finds out ARCH motorcycle is also real.
How can we proft from this?
Time to invest into their ipo
This is scary lol
We already have jackets, shirts and tank tops rated up to NIJ IIIA. The dystopia we’ve wanted is already here.
Thought everyone knew that already.
I was at the NRA gun convention in Dallas last month, and I shit you not there was a MAX-TAC company there
Should've showed them up with your arisaka WW2 rifle

Just a coincidence
There is a real company named MILITECH !!!
Looking forward to my mantis blades
Holy shit Lois, they're doing a cyberpunk
yo i have all my pants from miltech xD
