No, you don't understand. Night City is a dystopia, so they use wrong manhole covers to show how corrupt this city is.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 62 points 1 month ago

Finally, someone on Lemmy that's media literate

Night City is a dystopia, so they use wrong manhole covers to show how corrupt this city is.

They use the cheapest they could get on hand. That's why it's the one rated for pedestrians rather than vehicles on the roads, obviously.

Bravo Vince!

Wtf, I like cyberpunk now??

[-] HappyFrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 month ago

You didn't like it before? It's epic.

Here is a deeper rabbit hole:

Wintermute (the author of that tweet) was the name of the admin of the original german lemmy instance "feddit.de". At some point Wintermute said they would go on vacation, I think to somewhere in asia. After that they were never heard from again and the instance decayed and we all had to move to feddit.org eventuall.

Now... what if Wintermute fell down a manhole cover??

[-] _stranger_@lemmy.world 32 points 1 month ago

Wintermute is the name of a character from William Gibson's Neuromancer novels, so it's fairly common. But the German angle does add a bit of spice...

[-] tetris11@lemmy.ml 30 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

If this is true, fuck you it's all I can think about right now

[-] ComfortableRaspberry@feddit.org 8 points 1 month ago

It actually is. You can go to feddit.de communities and check the last posts.

Holy shit

I imagine he’s in a Burmese prison with J. Peterman

The joke is he got into trouble in North Korea. My head canon goes he started some shit with the authorities in Pyongyang because of the manholes.

I'm comfortable with saying it fits as deliberate in-setting.

The manholes used are thinner and weaker, but cheaper to make. Night City would be the kind of place that would try to save cash on manhole covers, then if someone caves one in by driving over it, they charge the poor gonk for the replacement with a fine on top.

Can't play the game until they are fixed.

[-] steal_your_face@lemmy.ml 20 points 1 month ago

Literally unplayable

[-] Neverclear@lemmy.dbzer0.com 57 points 1 month ago

Instead of fixing the spec, they should make a "randomly falls through manhole cover" mechanic.

[-] filcuk@lemmy.zip 42 points 1 month ago

I believe it was there on release

[-] ulterno@programming.dev 8 points 1 month ago

And people failed to understand why their heavy vehicles were getting stuck in roads.

[-] nihilomaster@lemmy.world 42 points 1 month ago

Don't worry. Someone wrote a mod to fix that issue

[-] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 35 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I work in municipal development, and this is the kind of shit I notice all the time.

My job is to nitpick details.

[-] Melonpoly@lemmy.world 32 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Why have realistic graphics if you're going to ignore minor details like these ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[-] tauren@lemm.ee 6 points 1 month ago

Vibe coded and vibe manholed the whole game smh.

[-] flicker@lemmy.dbzer0.com 24 points 1 month ago

This is one of the things that I love most about the internet.

Someone with a highly specialized field of knowledge is playing a game and sees something only a few people would know.

They use the internet to share that knowledge.

[-] khapyman@sopuli.xyz 19 points 1 month ago

I don't want to be too much of an asshole. In any case, I'd like more Germans being the meme Germans and less of them being the fax using, sending random pictures as Excel files and demanding answer in snail mail.

And yeah, I do work with quite a lot of legacy German industrial machinery. The average German I interact with is quite possibly closer to the end of their career than to the beginning. But on this particular lemming said experience is taxing.

[-] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Well, did you request Passierschein A38, fill out form DK64, declare your intent using intent declaration form XY69, and fax it all to my butt?

I am too lazy to check, but did they by chance fix it? That would be even more hilarious.

[-] fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk 15 points 1 month ago

I'm always a little put off by games using inappropriate plugs and wall sockets for the nation or time period that the game is set in.

[-] seeigel@feddit.org 14 points 1 month ago

Can somebody explain why it makes sense that the green underlined number and the red circled number are not the same, please?

[-] Dragonstaff@leminal.space 38 points 1 month ago

DIN B125 is the class of manhole covers designated for Light to moderate loads. DIN 4271 is the standard for B125 covers that have vents. Obviously. Did you forget everything from German Manhole Cover Standards class at school? ;)

[-] rustydrd@sh.itjust.works 21 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

DIN 4271 is the standard for B125 covers that have vents.

Yo dawg. I heard you like standards. So we defined some standards for your standards, and now you can standardize while you standardize.

[-] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 1 month ago

kids these day. the german education system really is falling apart. smh.

[-] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 month ago

The green is the correct standard and the red not being the same is what they are complaining about not being correct

Boy, I really hope someone got fired for that blunder.

[-] tetris11@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 month ago

A wizard did it

[-] tacofox@lemm.ee 8 points 1 month ago

I only know about “DIN” specification standards because of the recent New Mind video about washers 😭

[-] qyron@sopuli.xyz 7 points 1 month ago

I'd leave the hole covers in place and add the code to have it break under weight.

[-] Metz@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Buchstäblich unspielbar.

In Cyberpunk 2077, I'm fairly certain most cars float. Correct me if I'm wrong because I haven't played in years.

If that's the case, that manhole cover is just fine.

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Even if it is floating, it is still pressing on the ground with the same, if not more, force. The antigravity field has to be pushing against something.

[-] thespcicifcocean@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

i was writing a response about aerodynamics and lift and then had flashbacks to my aerodynamics class and had a panic attack, so i'm not going to do that.
