This is a universe with faster than light travel and near infinite resources. There’s a homeless shelter in one of the major cities. I helped them out. Why the fuck is there a homeless shelter in a universe with FTL and near infinite resources?
I’m starting to think Fallout under Bethesda isn’t a satire and their writers are just incapable of imagining anything beyond capitalism.
It would have been worse if they made a game with space capitalism that didn’t have the problems of capitalism in it. I would have also enjoyed the shit out of a game that let me play in a fully automated luxury gay space communism universe but I’m also ok playing a pirate in the space capitalist one too.

I haven’t done any of the cyberpunk stuff yet. I spent like a minute in that city so far. It’s not good?

I always thought of Post Cyberpunknas things like The Diamond Age or Mirrors Edge or Glasshouse, which critique the individualistic response of a Cyberpunk protagonist vs social responses.

Much with cyberpunk libs took all the shiny white singularity dyson sphere bullshit and none of the “they made capitalism sentient and it ate the humanity of everyone who took part in it , then itself, then promptly collapsed into a post apocalytic economy made entirely of grifts.”
