Once more I have had another dream of the /gq/ meta, but this time in 2040. It came to me in a dream after I had too much Benadryl and shit my brains out.
>The year is 2040. Everyone is rich and simultaneously broke - with everything they could want and debt up to their eyeballs to show for it.
>Money is abolished. Crypto is completely mainstream and regularly seized for nefarious reasons by the federales.
>All based men now use the barter system, with a couple neckbeards in the corner using silver and gold but are unable to figure out if it's legit.
>Aliexpress becomes even more based and begins permitting the barter system using tasks. Do tasks for the Chinese overlords, verified by their surveillance drones, and you are shipped goods in return.
>/gq/ men hide in tunnels, except now expanded with all the luxuries one could want, including air filtration, sanitation, and air conditioning with running water and electricity.
>The meta now revolves around increasingly more powerful Chinese replica dazzlers.
>Released two years ago in 2038 was the Somogear LA-22/U, now 500mW and with an override on the ranging safety.
>It can blind men in a single flash.
>War has changed. We now use melee weapons. Katana, Naginata, Rapiers & daggers, spears and mauls - even fire axes. This saves us bullets, which are tracked and reserved for extreme situations.
>They even stopped making most common calibers. The M7 rifle, unable to pierce Militech's Super XSAPI Supremes, has been replaced by the 8.6mm NGER, next generation enhanced rifle and asteroid-mined Iridium alloy bullets.
>The US pays a shitload to Martian Emperor Elon every year for the Iridium.
>To handle ranged warfare, we use dazzlers. All kinds of dazzlers. Blind the enemy and close the distance in the tunnels. The overworld is a death trap anyway, nobody except the NPCs have been up there in years, so it's easier to just melee your enemies.
>/gq/ elites get the yellow laser GLARE.
