Don't you just hate when you wind up in a store with people who are in a socioeconomic class that is pretty obviously about two levels lower than your own?
a black market in drives that can…increase…their storage over time because they're taken and sold prior to the final sterilization

2 hour opinion: I liked NC better I think, it was faster paced; this will make you curse poo poo off you fuckbastard as the RNG decides not to like you again, but as you start to accrue some cash and unlock some of the many powerups, things start to swing back in your favour.

If you are that rare SteamsPerson without a backlog, this is fun enough.
i picked it up on the same 40% off deal as you, and i'm enjoying it. it seems like it fits right between Neon Chrome and Hotline Miami in scale, and the music is still great, although you hear it in smaller chunks due to the short levels. it definitely scratches that top down shooter itch.

What galls more than the staggering tastelessness of VR disaster tourism (same for those "homelessness experience" VR things) is how inane, witless and inarticulate the resulting commentary is.

"Man this sure is crazy" says a VR man standing in a simulation of a real disaster killing people as he speaks. "Wow this poo poo is intense!!" he muses.

I could almost excuse the whole thing if anything meaningful came from it, but it's just a gnarly voyeuristic experience to fill up a spare half hour.
It is pretty cyberpunk in that respect tho.
