    Cyberpunk. Lots to do, and ostensibly all the other video games in VR.

      You want to live in a universe where the corporations always win and the best you can hope for is going out in an awesome, but ultimately futile blaze of glory?

        Well yes but if you get to be the protagonist, aka the winner in a world of only winners and losers, that’s fine. I’m sure I wouldn’t hate capitalism as much if I were filthy rich and a beneficent of the system

            To be honest the one

            from phantom liberty

            Where V gets cured of the Relic by NUSA, especially if you just ignore V’s stupidity in trying to go back to Night City for some reason even though if you’re a nomad she would’ve only been there for like a few months total and actually imagine her being a semi-developed 23 year old adult who’d make the rational choice of just staying in DC in a cushy job away from the madness.

            is pretty good.

            Well if you are becoming V, then yes it sucks either way. But V isn’t exactly filthy rich, they are just some random merc decked out in cyberware. I was more thinking being someone like the arasakas. Or some other nepotism profiteer living the good life

              Meh, even so, do you really wanna be Saburo? Watching your back constantly, watching your kids vie for your seat waiting for you to croak, seeking eternal life through different bodies as some microchip construct knowing basically anyone would smash that shit to bits if they felt they could get away with it to gain power.

              It doesn’t sound that great to me either because I’m not sure even a normal, finite life in such a world isn’t too much already.

              If I had to be someone I’d prefer to be a nomad living out in the desert with my fam, somewhat isolated, rely on each other, far away from corporations and their wars.

              Or maybe I’d be a celebrity living in North Oak like Kerry, but even then, there’s a good chance some cyberpsycho guns you down while you’re out on the town in your snazzy new Caliburn to buy a latte, at last some brief relief from that one fucking ad with the dude screaming.
