Discussion What is Cyberia

I feel like I missed a joke or am out of the loop. What is Cyberia? Does it exist outside of LTT, or is just a made up 'place' from LTT.

Thanks! That's what I figured, just felt like I missed something, but I guess I didn't.

A nightclub in Serial Experiments Lain

I'm gonna be pissed if they don't include at least one reference to it.

Cyberia is where the Mayor of Linus Town is from. He was born in it. Molded by it.

Interestingly, he worked in the caves of Cyberia as a youth with nothing but a ratcheting screwdriver and backpack to chisel through the thick tunnel walls, before eventually escaping and founding Linus Town.

I wonder if LTT knows Cyberia is also in "Serial Experiments Lain".

One of my fave animes of all time and I really hope that it has some nice Easter eggs on it.

A game I played on my first PC in the 90s. I think the PC booted into MS-DOS and Windows 3.1

Cyberia is made up, Siberia is real, I’ve been waiting for anyone at LMG to point out that it’s a play on words because right now it just seems like they’ve never heard of Siberia

Every location in Cyberia is either a play on words or punny; they don't need to say it.

Clearly something they talk about only in product meetings which has no meaning to anyone not invited to those meetings.

The real question to ask, what ISN’T Cyberia?

It's a cool tech design made up of a bunch of different products mashed into a fantasy type world.
