These were unlivable conditions for Millennials in 2008.

I can't believe they tried convincing us this was a dystopian game. This along with Deus Ex Human Revolution and Cyberpunk 2077 seem like paradises in comparison to modernity.

It's in line with themes of Safety Vs Freedom that there are actual benefits the masses are willing to give up versus the protagonists of these stories who fight as the underdogs against such logic.

All it takes to fool a zoomer is a clean façade.

Mirror's Edge had the subtlety NOT to beat you over the head with how shit this society is, unfortunately the average /v/irgin is really fucking dumb and takes everything at face value.

Just like how retards will post the two streets of Wolfenstein The New Colossus that have been dressed up for a parade and be like "wow this society is so festive with colorful banners. you're against *this*? you want it to be drab? tch! you jews!" Zero brain activity going on with them.

>>718134256

I just dont give a shit as long as I'm not attacked by homeless people on the street.

If you truly despise your fellow man the moment they become unhoused, then you should be in favor of solutions that would get these people off the streets, off drugs, and working. It's the only way you'll never see another hobo again.

lol nah
most of those guys are a crutch on society long before they get thrown out of whatever housing project they were in at that point.

That's also the reason why your gay little alleviation projects don't work for like 90% of these guys.

>>718134550
Most "homeless" are only homeless briefly because there actually are a lot of services to help people get back in a cheap shitty apartment with a job or help them fill out benefits paperwork if they're disabled and junk. Yes, in America. But the people you see begging on corners, sleeping in alleys? A lot of them can't make it through that process for one of three reasons, usually. They want to be there because of the freedom, they're addicted to a drug that gets them kicked out of services aimed to help them, or they have severe mental problems. Most of them are relatively harmless; they just want to exist and not be bothered. If they weren't, they'd probably already be in jail. There's no easier way to get the cops called on you than panhandling or sleeping in public, so if you're also harassing joggers or whatever, it's usually jail. And then when you get released and miss a court date, prison. But most of them have their shit together just enough to avoid that. That said, plenty of them snap or whatever and can hurt people, which is sad for everyone.

Shit's fucked, but helping the people that are beyond the normal help is super fucking hard. It's like saving a drowning person actively trying to drown themselves.

I don't like volunteering to feed those types of forever-homeless guys because it's so fucking depressing dealing with their mental states. Breaks your heart and/or makes you angry, usually.

>>718134214
I can agree. It is one of the few times I bought a game based on a Demo and really liked it for what it is. Art Direction was really good and Gameplay really felt like a breathe of fresh air.

>>718135445
They work in countries that actually FUND it. The kicker is that robust social spending ends up saving far, far more money overall than it costs. Unfortunately, short term profits is what our economy is built around.

>>718135465
you said it perfectly

>>718135465
You can't apply to any of those services without ID.
You can't get ID without a permanent address.

>>718135214
I'm certain the age of people on this shithole has gone up significantly over the years. When I first started lurking, I knew tons of underage people that came on here. And all the pics of meetups and whatnot were super young. These days, it's pretty normal for anons to chat about their wife and kids, houses, etc. I think some amount of political attitude shift was expected, although smart phones and other social media sites probably have made everyone feel more polarized and unsafe about having opinions (so more people come here to voice what they want to say but can't elsewhere). Every board has it, but /v/ is always pretty full of tangentially related gaming-politics rants.

>>718135717
You're completely correct, which is why I donate to a group in my local area (won't say which/where because I'm cagey about that) that specifically helps hook people up with IDs. Helps em track down birth certificates, have a temporary address, etc. Anything they need to get a driver's license or just a state ID if they never learned to drive. But the people I was talking about often come in and end up ghosting the nonprofit. Not always on purpose. They might have a prepaid cell that ran out of minutes, got stolen, etc. Really common thing for them to just kinda disappear for a while before getting real help.

Go volunteer with a homeless shelter or a food pantry and you'll see. A lot of the people that come through will be families where the dad left, lost a job, or single mom lost her job. They're living paycheck-to-paycheck and so they get evicted and just need a place to go for a while. The workers help them find a new job, get a lease somewhere (sometimes even their same old apartment) with the proof of employment/offer, and send em on their way. There's a ton of people you see once and never again.

If your (taxspayer-funded) job is impossible to complete, you will never accidentally put yourself out of a job by conpleting your task. If you solve the homeless/druggie/crime/etc., problem, then tou’re unemployed. So natural selection selecte for institutions that don’t solve these problems (since the ones that do then disband, leaving only the invompetent ones). And since leftists are all mindless slaves to institutions who unthinkingly do what they’re told, this is what they become.

I made that post. I should have specified that I meant privately funded ones. All major cities in the US have lots of (mostly Christian and church-affiliated) non-profit groups that will shelter homeless people, feed people, clothe people, give free medical care, etc.

Getting those things from the government depends heavily on the state, and there is extremely little to no federal program for most of what I mentioned. States like Washington have a fuckton of state-funded programs, whereas Texas has just as many but they're only funded by churches or other non-profit groups. There's good arguments foe both being better or worse, but personally I think more of both is realistic and would be helpful.

The problem with the comparison to real life is that even when the spying goes full throttle, we will still have all of those issues that it's supposed to fix. Worse maybe.

A lot of the money spent on the military budget goes back into the economy because it goes to the people living in the country. The reason why car manufacturer #7 sells X cars is because there are people who can afford it and these people can afford it because they got paid from the military budget for the goods and services they provided. It's the same reason why public healthcare bolsters economic activity and isn't just a money sinks.
People advocating for taking away the military budget and spending it on other things don't realize it would grind a large portion of the economy to a halt because many of these things are in fact money sinks outside of e.g. high speed rail which btw is wild that it doesn't exist yet.
Renewables are also nice on paper but in reality do you have enough rare earth materials to actually build all of that? Renewables are also bad for both the baseline capacity of the power grid and accounting for hourly spikes. They are definitely the way forward but you will always without fail need a certain amount of fossil fuels or nuclear before (if) fusion takes off.

You do realize you can't just liquidate all the stocks in the world and a large percentage of their value is a speculative? If you get paid $100k a year and "generate" an increase in stock value of $1mil you didn't get $900k of your labour stolen because a large part of that $1mil is purely speculative. The actual value of your labour is obviously higher than $100k but nowhere near $1mil in most cases.

The browns are... *tools* of the billionaires and by spending all your time and energy sticking up for your hecking blackerinos on 4chud all day instead of doing something more impactful, YOU are actually the useful idiot far more than any /pol/tard calling out the behavior is.

Good job getting played like a fiddle lefty clown.

why? are you doing illegal things?

>>718140341
dawg i'm not defending anyone. i'm pointing out a fact. we're all tools and idiots and useful idiots of the elites. this ain't gonna change, and hating niggers doesn't help my cause. deporting niggers isn't ever going to happen. deporting muslims isn't ever going to happen. i saw the thread and wanted to correct you: elites are the reason for the current situation. not sandniggers, nigger niggers, browniggers, etc.

Guess how much of the police money went into any of those things when they got defunded? Oh right.

wtf was getting spammed in this thread?

But you won't be able to browse 4chan and play vidya all day because in ME corpos run the entire country you don't have time to play games.

Unless you become a runner but good luck with that since most of 4cucks are fat ugly bastards

Things have gotten so bad that we have gone from the 90s when office work was seen as something horrible, almost a hellish punishment, to remembering it with nostalgia.

>>718137284
>having an orderly society means everyone just stares at a wall all day
no, it just means you don't have junkies shooting up on the sidewalk and niggers sucker punching people

leftoids are so fucking stupid

What are you not free to do though?
>I'm not free to destroy public properties and draw my ugly shit on it
>I'm not free to plot for illegal shit if I'm under surveillance all the time
>I'm not free to become homeless and shit in the street

What?
Why would you want someone to have the freedom to do all those shits?

Most internet users nowadays spend an unhealthy amount of time on places like Twitter that are heavily politicized and that extends to 4chan users. One of the big political things going on is trying to shift the blame onto immigrants for why society is getting worse which is a big distraction from worse issues like governments being corrupt and wealthy interests disproportionately influencing them. The UK's public image is in the dumpster and people are trying to sell it off as a dystopia for adding an age check to using the internet, and the US is currently a clown show because they made it legal for rich people to openly fund their favorite parties (super PACs) circa 2011.
>>718141547
We live better than most medieval kings though. We become blind to our amazing conditions and yearn for better, and I'm pretty sure office work was analogous to boring, mind-numbing work at the time, which DOES make people feel like shit eventually.

>>718135106
Westernized, Hawai'i is actually a part of the United States. Japanese is very rarely spoken, and the only ones who have any knowledge of their original language are old people. Among those 50 and under, concepts like ikigai are but a forgotten dream.

>>718141773
>leftoids
you just posted a proof of wealth inequality making everything trash no matter how much money there is. Its a right winger stuff to make rich richer and poor poorer

>It's okay for cops to jog though, they're catching postmen.

>>718142035
Yeah, it's kinda depressing how diluted everything gets once it's absorbed into the mainland US monoculture. Hawai'i went from being a unique blend of heritage, language, and local philosophy to another beachy tourist backdrop with strip malls and overpriced poke bowls. They sell the idea of paradise but gut the soul out of it. Ikigai turned into “grindset” and aloha became just another corporate buzzword slapped on a billboard.

take you world, amp up all the bad shit so much that it become a standard routine that everyone is used to, and voila, cyberpunk

unless you already live in a turd world shithole then it's the same shit but with neonlights and more guns

>>718138009
Pratchett complained shortly after that her story was gutted. I think this works better for the game because the theme and title is that everything wrong is being hidden and requires you to look. As we know from the work of plenty of writers that share her views and how to present them; bashing the audience over the head and lecturing them is a grating distraction. What we are presented with is the strictly personal story of an estranged family that are caught up in it; it's just coincidence that Faith's sister is the officer investigating the break-in at Pope's office from days before and framed for his murder.

South Korea. The Greylands in Catalyst is North Korea.

>>718141773
there are homeless and people who do graffiti
its just that Nip shitbags are inherently less shitty

>>718142102
yeah it's totally not the result of insane leftoid policies + multiracialism as we see in literally every western city that looks like this lol. crazy how someone can still be this fucking delusional at this point in the game

>>718142868
>crazy how someone can still be this fucking delusional at this point in the game

the only thing lefties have left is misplaced smugness and sense of superiority, how could they admit that climate denying, racist, sexist, bully redneck was actually correct about literally everything while they were dumb fucking idiots who werw taken advantage of?
Also take carre, mentally ill leftie is unsurprisingly also a janny

That was Trump boomers and twitter nazi white supremacists (Mexican).
A lot of older anons grew up and got socially adjusted. Other autistics and tfwnogf became schizo NEETs and incels and seeped out on the internet.

>Much easier to assert they're all insane druggies beyond help
I had a humanitarian phase.
I can assure you they do.
Homeless people come in exactly two categories: "will bounce back up in a few months with a bit of help" and "lost cause that deserve it and has no desire to solve its problems".

>>718142102
Why don;t we just put poors into death camps? Not even joking, it would solve every problem.
Crime? Poors.
Drugs? Poors.
Graffiti? Poors.
Clogging living spaces? Poors.
Homeless? Poors.
Low intelligence? Poors.
Supporting bad video games? Poors.

>>718138817
Haha, we don't care bro. Videogames?

>>718145835
you are aware you are also a "poor" person by the "rich" standards?
no wealthy person spends their time shitpoosting on the internet. they do the equivalent irl

It might look like utopia but it's probably a dictatorship, and with dictatorship you never know when people in power just snap and do insane shit, especially when things go south for reasons beyond anyone's control. I'm glad DICE left all that to imagination though, it means they respect our intelligence which is something we don't have today with vidya.

>>718134351

Wealth inequality is not an issuento you, being poor is fine as long as you have an ethnostate.

Blaming others or system because you are a failure is weakness.
Your failing life was caused by you
Just fix your life or stop whining and die.

This. Just stop asking questions. Everything is fine, you're just grinding hard enough.

Degenerates can't accept a world full of Asian white people and clean places everywhere

>>718148137
You are too weak to change yourself you are too weak to fix real issues.
You notice
You whine
You blame
You do nothing
You die
Nothing changed

>>718148048
Then why is the system complaining because people refuse to participate?

i just wanted to mention that the other day i watched a webm of SWAT rolling a tank up to somebody's house and unloading an entire magazine into their motionless body, because they didn't mow their lawn properly

>>718148391

Literally the whole point was that everything looked fine on the surface while insane corruption was happening underneath from political assassinations to framing murders to censorship so invasive people had to deliver messages by hand that were hunted down so much you have to jump across buildings to get away.

>>718135214
Libertarianism is a scam but instead pushing for basic liberties WITHOUT getting assraped by richfags most of this site opted to get OPENLY assraped by richfags
