Fair, but you could just say “intelligence” generically instead.

IQ is though

When talking about a large, regularly distributed population, there effectively IS no difference

Literally illegal for them to do that. But also, they’re like cops, no one stops them from abusing their power.

It’s actually a pass for people who have sat through a bunch of interviews and given up their biometrics and already had all their privacy pre-violated. It’s not really that expensive.

I liked the overall cyberpunk theme and setting, and the idea that all electronic comms was so heavily monitored that people regressed to couriers was intriguing. The big evil sinister plot being “they’re training cops to parkour” was silly tho. That reveal was quite a letdown. And it was nicely punctuated by my fights with the evil ninja parkour cops mainly being me grabbing a gun from a regular cop and dusting em with no effort.

So fucking good.

First and only time I’ve downloaded a video game’s OST to keep on my playlist.

Oh wait, that plus Vampire: the Masquerade.

I would have liked some combat element, but the suits in charge of the game were clearly pushing the “main character is ridiculously overpowered” thing, like the first time you have to fight, it’s you vs 5 or 6 cops armed with guns and you wipe the floor with them. It’s silly. You’re a courier, you can run fast and jump and you’re fearless, but you can’t take out 5 cops on your own lol. It’s not a Marvel movie and you’re not Black Widow.

Combat against armed opponents should be a terrifying, adrenaline-pumping thing where your main aim is to gtfo as fast as possible because if a bullet hits you you’re dead. If you see a cop you should be thinking “oh shit fuck fuck shit” not “oooh I can take his gun”.

I’m somewhat ok with AI talking like the 1920s.

“Babe, I’m on the nut. I’m behind the eight ball. I’m one of the hatchetmen on this box job, and it’s giving me the heebie-jeebies. These mugs are saying my cut is twenty large. But if we end up squirting metal, this ain’t gonna be no three-spot. The tin men are gonna throw me in the big house until the big sleep.”

Nah I get posts removed and banned from big subs like Political Memes all the time. No criticizing the Left or questioning why they seem to always exclusively blame literally everything on Democrats.

I assume the right-wing propaganda planners have decided they need to counter something I said

Since there’s no serious answer: hexbear is a highly toxic instance that has been defederated by most other instances. However, their users will keep tabs on what’s said on other instances, and they’ll occasionally show up en masse with alt accounts to attack something that particularly enraged them.

Many of them are…not quite mentally stable.

They’re probably the single largest base of tankie support. For them, America = bad, and anyone opposed to America = good. They pretend to care about communism etc but they’re really just anti-American. Saying anything negative about China gets you instantly banned.

Are you literally claiming hexbear doesn’t exist?

That’s a new one

We have very different lemmy experiences

Blockchain was one

This is lemmy, it’s full of literal children
