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??

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.

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

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)_/¯

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

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.

Anzeige ist raus

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.

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

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

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

Buchstäblich unspielbar.

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

Total Immersion Killer.

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.
