  &quot;We shall create the Torment Nexus from the iconic novel <i>Don&apos;t Create the Torment Nexus.</i> &quot;

  Robocop is the most Gen-X movie ever. &nbsp;It&apos;s about a guy who dies and then has to go back to work.

  Elon Musk would unironically create Soulkiller and then be surprised that people are against it

  Conservatism will never be punk, because you can&apos;t be a rebel and a bootlicker at the same time.<br><br>EDIT: For all the divorced dads out there desperately trying to convince me that &quot;actually conservatism is punk now&quot; I hope you realize that the arbiter of punk isn&apos;t Politico, it&apos;s the punk movement, and the punk movement decided long ago that being a Nazi isn&apos;t punk. You&apos;re not hip with the kids anymore, you&apos;re just a contrarian and your cybertruck is lame.

  One of the biggest gut punches in Cyberpunk2077 is a piece of graffiti down some random alley. All it is is a silhouette of a horse running into the wind, and the &nbsp;words &quot;We Miss You&quot;

  Elon Musk is exactly the kind of person the &quot;Don&apos;t Create the Torment Nexus&quot; meme was designed to mock.

  A lot of people I&apos;ve seen play Cyberpunk 2077 absentmindedly say &quot;Man I&apos;d love to live here&quot; but only a few seconds later they realize how much that would actually suck and then say something to the effect of &quot;no wait, this would suck&quot;.<br><br>Musk never reaches that moment of realization because he lacks all self-awareness, in the most literal sense of the word.

  You can just say, “Elon Musk Doesn’t Understand-“ and make that a complete sentence.

  &quot;Cyberpunk was a warning, not an aspiration.&quot; Mike Pondsmith, creator of Cyberpunk 2077. (Also, happy black history month for Mike as well!)

  I loved how in Cyberpunk 2077, all of the advertisements were softcore porn. I&apos;m sure a small part of that is fan service, but I think the main point is that corporations in the real world would TOTALLY use porn to sell things if there was no restriction on it.

  Felt the same way about Metaverse when it dropped like, &quot;my guy, that shit only works if you can jack your brain into something and actually feel it or be affected by it. No one wants to buy a fake beer in a fake bar.&quot;
