>is that what zoomers think 90s looked like? is that what they think punk is? is that what they call fantasy?
Friend, I bare no ill will towards you. These posts I am making are not in anger, rage or frustration. I just finished doing my dailies and saw this thread, and hopped in to discuss the game. I call ZZZ "90s punk fantasy" because the early parts of ZZZ (such as Belobog and especially Gentle House) feel distinctly Shadowrun in their aesthetics. You have flashy, denim-wearing babes and boys using repurposed construction equipment to bash heads and solve commissions. Venus was a Johnson, Puroxee is a Fixer. I recognize the bones of what this game was, and I enjoyed it because I enjoyed playing SR5 with my friends.
And it's absolutely magic. Ether is just magic juice and Ethereals are Paracritters. We could get into whatever quasi-realistic nonsense they use in-game to explain them, but it's Sixth World "Magic has returned to the world" type stuff.

>usually immigrants doing traffic control for the hole maker who don't even speak the local language or know why they are making the holes.
I have a story for this. Back in the 2010s, I delivered for Amazon Flex. Think DoorDash but with Amazon packages instead of food. As you might expect, a lot of the fringes of society worked there; blacks, whites, browns, yellows. It was surprisingly diverse. We got paid well for what was unskilled labor ($40/hr after tips) and it was completely elective. Amazon Flex paid for my apartment.
While I'm older and hopefully wiser, I decided to go and do another delivery for Amazon Flex a couple weeks ago. The app was rough to navigate - crashed a couple times - but I managed to snag a Block (2hr unit of time where I'm working.) I went to the warehouse to receive my delivery, and what did I see? Uzbekis. Everyone was Uzbeki. An entire ethnic clan had taken over the delivery process. This surprised me, but didn't concern me until I went inside. An entire entrance door was broken, and had apparently been broken for a couple months. Nobody wanted to fix it because nobody cared, I guess. Everyone was lingering, like cattle, in the middle of the cart movement area - y'know, the middle spot where you'd be bringing carts to and from your car - and a few more decided to park *their* cart in the middle of the aisle so they can scan the packages, instead of scanning them outside.
This was frustrating. I was missing a package in my cart, so I had to call customer support. I got an Indian who clearly didn't know how to speak English. I called customer support again, another Indian. I called customer support again, got a white woman who helped me immediately. As I took my cart out of the Warehouse, I saw one of the Uzbekis talking about an issue with their cart to a Warehouse employee. An Indian. Both of them were using English, and failing.
I saw the future in that moment.
