@beardalaxy @alyx @LukeAlmighty you two do NOT understand eugenics at all

>our potential is at least 100x higher.
If you transplanted a craftsman or something from the middle ages to here he would wipe the floor with every one of us. His whole family dying of leprosy and then him going to two wars were 9311 of his comrades died of gangrene infected wounds was like NOTHING to him. It was just TUESDAY. They were so powerful back then.
People today are weak.
You cannot even conceive the potential of someone like a Yamnaya from the Ice Age. We have all this tech because we simply have NOT gotten any more potential. We are petered out, we domesticated ourselves. THE SPARK IS ALMOST EXTINGUISHED

schizo post sorry but true

Finally learn how to fall asleep. What could go wrong?

Why am I sleeping as if I needed to catch on 29 years of debt?

I am so insanely tired of woke big brain takes.

Yes, this is the level of intellectual concepts they use to justify their world view. So, you might wonder. What is a purpose of this thought experiment? It is to say: I don't like the results of this system.....

And they couldn't think of any less hyperbolic name for such bullshit.

When creating a costume, I was prepared for many posibilities, but I wasn't prepared on seeing one part actually look unironically breathtaking...

Now, the stress will multiply.

The dystopia is that 3rd world gangbangers have access to life extending healthcare and advanced technology.

Cyberpunk 2077 has horrible hostile zone system.

I literally just click wrong door, and 10 guys in the room start shooting you immediately. That's so bad...

Nah, they can get jamal to take the catheter out of their ass and botch your surgeries, I will laugh and spit on their graves while they rot in hell.

@LukeAlmighty Thing is... as bad as things are today, someone from medieval time would think living anywhere in Europe today would be epic.
We've lost perspective of how much life has improved because of technology, and I'd wager it makes sense in universe that people in Cyberpunk consider it a dystopia, because they also lost perspective on things and focus only on their present day issues.

I had a sobering though a year ago. Back during the days of Mozart or Beethoven, these people weren't composing music for the wider audience. Entertainment was a thing solely for the rich. But today, a homeless person in America can listen to any music he wants on a pocket sized computer.
Or Tim Pool likes to make the argument that the original oil baron had worse dental care than an average american has today.

People are free to complain about wealth inequalities, but they should also take a second and appreciate that they probably have access to the same, if not more, life amenities than the richest of the rich from not that long ago. That is bonkers to me.

So yeah, any realistic fiction set in a much more technologically advanced future, is gonna have some of the things we care about solved thanks to technology, while also introducing new unique problems that make it a dystopia.
I haven't played the game, but my understanding was that the dystopic element was some kind of augmentation psychosis and people losing their humanity.

Imagine using discord, you know the chat program where its troon devs will doxx you to antifa and blm if you say anything wayciss and muh soggy knee?

Returned to the game, and honestly? This post is still absolutely true.

Libertarians have no freedom under Trans ideology.

There, I said it. The complete formulation of my stance in this issue.
