    "The hedonic treadmill doesn't have brakes--only upgrades."
    Feels like a description of how we are now.

    Like a cross between cyberpunk judge DREDD and blade runner on crank.

    A proper businessman. It don't matter who you are or what you do as long as you make your payments on time and in full.

    This takes cyberpunk to a whole new level.
    The level of detail and lore just from this short makes me want to see a film of it.
    Please don’t stop making these.
    There’s nothing in my feed that comes even remotely close to how dope these shorts are.
    Your Atlantean timeline runs into the cyberpunk-esk and connects back to the Dystopian videos I first saw.
    The whole timeline feel realistic and believable.

    "threat drivers notched to 11, heck why not 12" *proceeds to cut to a person who liked FNAF 4 a bit too much*

    I’m obsessed with the music
    Edit: just heard similar music in a scene from a 10+ year old horror movie. Guys. We don’t need to rely on AI for bangers. Humans did it first.
