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.
Even if it is floating, it is still pressing on the ground with the same, if not more, force. The antigravity field has to be pushing against something.
i was writing a response about aerodynamics and lift and then had flashbacks to my aerodynamics class and had a panic attack, so i’m not going to do that.
They do not float.
I am too lazy to check, but did they by chance fix it? That would be even more hilarious.
I only know about “DIN” specification standards because of the recent New Mind video about washers 😭
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
No, you don’t understand. Night City is a dystopia, so they use wrong manhole covers to show how corrupt this city is.
Finally, someone on Lemmy that’s media literate
Night City is a dystopia, so they use wrong manhole covers to show how corrupt this city is.
They use the cheapest they could get on hand. That’s why it’s the one rated for pedestrians rather than vehicles on the roads, obviously.
Bravo Vince!
Wtf, I like cyberpunk now??
You didn’t like it before? It’s epic.
I didn’t, you don’t wanna go there man.
I work in municipal development, and this is the kind of shit I notice all the time.
My job is to nitpick details.
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??
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.
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
You were supposed to got to communities from there, not the site itself. The posts that were federated to other instances are still readable.
For example check here, wintermute is still listed as mod for this community
https://discuss.tchncs.de/c/schweiz@feddit.de
Or here this is the meta community for feddit.de
('tschuldigung, it was not clear!)
But yeah I see him now, and it’s been over a year since his last post. That is pretty interesting. He might end up in a Lemino video
No worries, just trying to help out!
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
He’s Mute during Winter
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.
Can’t play the game until they are fixed.
Literally unplayable
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.
Well, did you request Passierschein A38, fill out form DK64, declare your intent using intent declaration form XY69, and fax it all to my butt?
Germans and Japanese are the Axis powers of fax machines
Why have realistic graphics if you’re going to ignore minor details like these ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Vibe coded and vibe manholed the whole game smh.
Don’t worry. Someone wrote a mod to fix that issue
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.
Can somebody explain why it makes sense that the green underlined number and the red circled number are not the same, please?
DIN B125 is the class of manhole covers designated for Light to moderate loads. DIN 4271 is the standard for B125 covers that have vents. Obviously. Did you forget everything from German Manhole Cover Standards class at school? ;)
DIN 4271 is the standard for B125 covers that have vents.
Yo dawg. I heard you like standards. So we defined some standards for your standards, and now you can standardize while you standardize.
kids these day. the german education system really is falling apart. smh.
The green is the correct standard and the red not being the same is what they are complaining about not being correct

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.
