It’s already starting btw: “New users in the Philippines and New Zealand are the first to be asked for an annual payment in the latest change to the platform.”

Real glad I’ve been off Twitter for over a year now.

    I still can’t get over the real world getting shittier, faster, and in a more bleak and less interesting way (no Awakening, no Ghost Dances) than in the Shadowrun timeline.

    Can Shadowrun even count as a dystopian setting anymore?

      In almost any cyberpunk dystopian setting, there’s strong community engagement, most people can eke some kind of living with any sort of job (everyone is paid equally shit, of course), and you can make a living outside the law doing very useful shit like repairing radios or running a back alley soup kitchen

      Unironically would rather live in Shadowrun Seattle or Cyberpunk Night City.
