There are a few countries that aren’t exactly friendly with the Western world and know our democratic systems have a weakness in that you can rile people up and get them to vote against their own best interests, damaging their own country.

The internet and social media in particular are valuable tools for this strategy, so it would be insane for them not to use it to its full potential. And that means endless bots manipulating the narrative.

Humans especially. I wouldn’t have to go to work if the roads all vanished

Weird how I always leave that voodoo boys “marine le Penn” or whatever it’s called mission until really late because I find it a bit tedious but the accelerated start would take place after that.

Possibly not. Cyberpunk is a gorgeous game and I really enjoyed the story and the power trip you get from all the crazy cybernetics that you can unlock. Awesome soundtrack too. However the core gameplay loop does get a bit stale, especially if you’re going for 100% completion.

It’s definitely a lot of fun and one of my favourite games of the past few years, because despite its flaws you can tell a lot of time and love went into this game, however I wouldn’t call it an all time great.

I’d take that as working class personally. You could be earning 500K per year but if you still need to sell your time and energy to pay the bills then you’re not middle class yet.

I always take the middle class as the threshold where you have sufficient passive income to afford a dignified lifestyle without needing to work anymore but may choose to.

Examples would be landlords with a decent portfolio, business owners where all the work is done for them, and people with substantial savings and investments.

If you have to work to pay the bills, no matter how much you’re on, you’re working class. This can even include millionaires in high cost lifestyles.

If you’re so rich that you no longer need to care about the value of money then you are upper class.

I couldn’t get past the browness of the graphics. Satisfactory on the other hand…

Burnout Revenge was the ultimate party game. Anyone could jump right in and cause chaos without needing to be an experienced gamer. The soundtrack was colossal too.

Weird. Almost like picking fights with countries that can kerb stomp you blindfolded is a terrible idea.

There’s a world of difference between a country abducting brown people off the streets and a country just not wanting to pay to endlessly fill hotels full of anyone who shows up on its borders

And they were doing really well until everybody died

Money in the hands of the ultra-wealthy might as well not exist

You can pause stardew valley, just open a menu

The market for a setup like that would be pretty small. The average person just has a craptop that isn’t switched on most of the time. Many don’t even bother with that.

I’m an electrical design engineer but I have a degree in mechanical engineering, so I reckon I’d fit in during the industrial revolution or even the agricultural revolution

I’m barely hanging on now

You could go all the way back to dinosaur times when we were burrowing rodents

He is slightly wrong there, instead of chicken meat it’s actually an amalgamation of various rodent meats.

I went on 4chan back in 2004. I was 14 and I remember thinking I found some super cool secret website full of badasses.

I got bored after a few weeks. I returned when I was 18 and realised it was full of socially mal-adjusted teens pretending to be super cool badasses, with a few pedophiles mixed in for good measure.

The main reason why I got one was because my PS4 was on its last legs after the hammering it got during 8 months of covid lockdown and furlough, and the whole console was cheaper than a new graphics card for my PC (+the other upgrades it needed to accommodate it).

The new controller is epic and that astrobot demo game really showcased its capabilities, but no other games have used it, even other exclusives like god of war. Wasted opportunity.
