No, you don’t understand. Night City is a dystopia, so they use wrong manhole covers to show how corrupt this city is.
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??
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…
If this is true, fuck you it’s all I can think about right now
It actually is. You can go to feddit.de communities and check the last posts.
Its down for me
Holy shit
I imagine he’s in a Burmese prison with J. Peterman
it’s myanmar
I am aware. Ive even been there. But in the show (Seinfeld) it’s a Burmese prison. Jerry even says ‘hey isn’t it Myanmar now?’ And Peterman says ‘you may know it as Myanmar, but it’ll always be Burma to me’, with the impression that he’s been there many times before. He then starts speaking the language then admits he was just making up jibberish
Myanmar is the name picked by the junta. It’s Burma.
thanks, i thought i was clearly referencing the bit from the show but i guess not
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.
He’s Mute during Winter
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.
the TÜV is tenacious enough to crush even the biggest megacorps!
Night City would not stand a chance
Can’t play the game until they are fixed.
Literally unplayable
Instead of fixing the spec, they should make a “randomly falls through manhole cover” mechanic.
I believe it was there on release
And people failed to understand why their heavy vehicles were getting stuck in roads.
Guys… it actual was a feature.
Don’t worry. Someone wrote a mod to fix that issue
I work in municipal development, and this is the kind of shit I notice all the time.
My job is to nitpick details.
Why have realistic graphics if you’re going to ignore minor details like these ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Vibe coded and vibe manholed the whole game smh.
I am too lazy to check, but did they by chance fix it? That would be even more hilarious.
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.
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.
Anzeige ist raus
Can somebody explain why it makes sense that the green underlined number and the red circled number are not the same, please?
The green is the correct standard and the red not being the same is what they are complaining about not being correct

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