  • My uninformed impression and story I made up seeing an admin badge, is that someone reported this, and an admin came down to see what it was about, only to throw their hands up and say “well shit it doesnt break any rules but I too hate it!”

    Thank you jello, I’m sorry my post has assaulted your eyes to the point that your day is ruined, however I am honored to have won lol









  • “Winning requires hard work. I believe that most of us, being ambitious individuals, find fulfillment in the joy of seeing our efforts materialize into tangible results”

    Right, you assmunch. Our work never materializes into shit. It barely manifests into a “rent payment” and “phone payment” and “auto insurance” every month. Notice how it doesn’t materialise into “savings” or “future house payment” Asking why people don’t have money is a poor look when you’re the fuck what paying them.











  • It’s not like all chrome is as sexy sleek as V or Rebecca.

    There’s one lore pickup that sticks with me. It’s the “top employers” in Night City. The people who are employed by these 5 comprise the middle class.

    spoiler

    Arasaka offers the lowest contractual obligation to work for at 20 years.

    Biotechnica offers six vacation days a year (current Americans average 11 PTO days at 40 hours a week)

    But the above is small potatoes when you read Nightcorp: ONLY(!) 80 hour workweek. For family focused people!

    Not being pedantic but also as you walk around look at the lifestyles of the charachters. River and Judy are successful legally employed people, and look at their home situation. Their houses and how much chrome they afford. Their weapons comprise of the very basics. How much tech do they have that wasn’t illegally obtained or had their job pay it off? Judy works mosly with chrome as far as BDs go. River is ex-NCPD, and he only affords prosthetic arms that are reminiscent of Gorilla Arms but it doesn’t have skin or look great - they’re functional. In addition to a prosthetic eye that doesn’t even try to be humanlike, like V’s Kiroshi Optics.

    The average citizen puts in an assload of work for their chrome and its hard to sustain yourself. I know they respawn but how many times do you just see Maelstrom on a sidewalk? How many out-and-about Valentinos? Most people can’t afford the nice chrome, or healthcare (as shown by David’s mom) and get by on their bills through theft or violence. Maelstrom chrome is a hack job. Rebecca funded all her work through being part of a successful criminal enterprise. Maine being the reason they even have the connection and payments with Faraday. Compare the Edgerunners chrome to the average Tyger Claw, and it’s easier to see that they are the ideal gang, not the average.
