Yes, you'll certainly make the greatest crabcakes.
You're not really getting the point of the game, are you?
hmmm...nah. It won't make up for having to constantly live with a massive hand shoved up my ass 24/7Interested?
TBH it's not really THAT much of a dystopian setting. Normal people only really get fucked over if they try to take out loans for large purchases like mods and can't repay them (just like real life). Everyone else that isn't a rusher seems to be pretty normal if you want to live that kind of life. Aside from the (temporary) widespread chaos that always comes with settling new territory and just the horrific concept of mandatory Treatments on New Texas in general, the TiTS universe really isn't all that different from our own, it just has way more advanced tech. The main difference is just that 99.99% of the population is completely obsessed with sex, and that's more of a law of their reality because they exist within a porn game than something classically "dystopian". Considering how easy it is to make money through jobs like mercenary work and how easily that money steamrolls into more money and safety when you buy better gear, I'd honesty love to live in the TiTS universe assuming I could undergo the same education every Steele goes through so I could start out as a Tech Specialist and have half a clue about how to survive in the universe to begin with. As long as you adhere to basic common sense and don't try to piss off any space pirate lords or masturbate directly in front of a very...opinionated lizard man, you'll probably be fine. Considering how amazing the technology, sex, and feeling of adventure would be, I'd say it's well worth it.
...yeah, I'm not gonna like my new life.
Pretty sure I'd end up with some serious gender dimorphism and I know I couldn't handle New Texas IRL.
Gender Dysphoria, dimorphism is the differences between two things, such as males and females of the same species....yeah, I'm not gonna like my new life.
So YOU'RE the guy who gave all the Kui-Tan penises!
Guess i would have to start making Vsauce and DONG videos, in the TiTs universe.
As far as current evidence goes that is exactly what we are. And we are just as easily controlled, not by smells or anything but with the right sequence of experiences it might as well be the same. Instincts are a very real presence in human lives. If you haven't noticed by now, humans are slaves to dopamine. They who control what the excites, entertains, or pleases the public controls the world. It's why some games or habits are so damn addicting, they rely on how your hormones work in an investment/reward system and have hooked many people for life. Through the dopamine reward system you can make anyone do anything. It is also the only reason the blue whale challenge works. It relies on someone who is vulnerable and with every completed step they are congratulated, rewarded with false affection as they get addicted to being told they've done good, once they're in deep it's almost impossible for them to get out on their own.
