Does New York City and its transit systems not exist in your world?
jjjalljs
I realized this very quickly when I moved to the city. No longer had to worry about parking, gas, insurance, how to get home when i'm tired or drunk. It's pretty great.
Poe's law is dead and I can't tell if this is a joke.
No one I know wants to go into the office just-because, but they also don't want to starve. When the choice is yield or die, it's not much of a choice.
I really dislike that the incompetent dolts who can't adapt to the internet are dragging everyone else down. I don't want to be in an uncomfortable office, losing hours a day to a commute, so someone can walk up to me and say "Hey" instead of using slack.
You know what works stupidly well? Get the biggest shield in the game, and a poke weapon.
You can poke through Malenia's self-heal. It takes a little longer than dodging, but it's far safer.
Consort Radahn with a big shield is a joke. Took 4 minutes, two tries. The first try failed because I didn't see where he was coming from when he did his nuclear sky bomb attack.
Whatever it is, most people don't engage with it.
Not by going directly for a moonshot at the presidency. You spend years getting people involved in local politics, then work your way up. State and local governments have power, even if it's "boring".
That or a coup or other violent, abrupt, wildcards.
I played Arcanum so much. Definitely better in turn based mode.
Most of the costs are probably externalized and not paid for by you
Also good neighbors vs bad neighbors isn't intrinsic to city vs country. You could easily have a neighbor out there that shoots guns unsafely , or feeds bears, or whatever. I had a whole DND crew here in the city that we could walk to each other's places.
But this is kind of getting off the topic of cars aren't the freedom people say they are.
