    And many, many more are going to follow, as Americans learn that they’re no longer free to criticize those in power.

    And the day will actually come when the notion of someone just being fired for criticizing those in power will seem quaint, since it will then be far more likely that they’ll disappear - sucked up into the ever-hungry maw of the corporate police state slave system.

      I have been thinking I need to buy a gun, now that you mention it.

        I’m not a gun owner. Never had even an ounce of desire to be one.

        It’s time.

      Currently playing through Cyberpunk just to have some kind of preparation of what is eventually to come.

        Cyberpunk future will look good compared to where we’re probably headed if history is any indication.

          Yeah, we’ll get all of the surveillance, climate disaster and police state without any of the cool implants…

        Same! Though, I really wish monowires existed in real life.

          Monofilament wire is a real thing, it just doesn’t have the tensile strength to act like it does in fiction.

            Be that as it may, I meant it doesn’t exist as it does in the game. It stands as my absolute favorite thing in CP 2077. It is- by far, the most elegant way to turn one big one into several little ones.

            😀

            (I’ve run a few monowire/knife only builds with no combat quickhacks. Probably the most fun I’ve had in the game)

              By far my favourite time killer in cyberpunk is to use the monowire to control NPC cars like a chariot, stand on the roof and hit one side and the NPC turns the other way

              If you like Mono-filiment whips you should read the Paratwa trilogy by Chrisopher Hinz… it’s about assassins that have 1 mind in 2 bodies, thus more eyes and coordination skills. They train from early childhood to use these Black eggs that extrude a monofilament whip… it take years to control them so they don’t whip about and cut yourself to pieces.

                Oh that sounds interesting. Thank you! I’ll look into it!

      If we can’t criticize them openly then we’ll have to use the other avenues made available via the Constitution. That will just eliminate the warning that negative public sentiment would normally give.
