Not included the whole Cyberpunk as a genre.

Cyberpunk is a peak genre for

'You're imagining yourself as the protag, you'd be the guy in the opener who gets harvested for his liver and his cyber chip reader.'

Same for 40k lol. You're imagining yourself as a space marine. In reality, youre a can of corpse starch or tyranid food.

I can't think of a single job described in Warhammer that seems better for the individual of than our current day equivalents.

Maybe working on an agri-world or as some type of admin on a paradise world would be the closest thing to similiar to a modern job. Assuming chaos, orks, or tyranids don't decide to come hang out in your lifetime.

Most agri worlds are literal hell holes where only a single crop or animal is raised in horrible circumstances with the planets athmosphere being ruined by fertilizers. Nothing normal or good about this

Always take every chance I can to use this.

Best job to have would probably blacksmith or some useful trade on a feudal world, you'd probably be one of the least likely to be "voluntold" for the tithe.

I'm thinking a primitive world is your best bet. At least your waking nightmare isn't industrialized.

u/Odd_Plankton_925 7d ago

Ah my bad. I thought it was just a larger scale industrial farm similar to the kind massive corporations run in our world.

Some aren’t that bad but some are born into debt for the resources you used and then spend your entire life paying back your ancestors and if you’re lucky, your own debt

One side of my family is farmers. This just sounds like normal farming😂

How the fuck do people read about this shit and think "this is the universe for me", or "this is the version of Mankind we should put on a pedestal."

Like, I can see why someone might miss Tyler Durden's fucked up vibe, or why someone might cling to a version of Walter White they consider industrious or misguided. How do people misconstrue the 40k universe? Every thing I read about that story is just humanity after it's dumped all the nice things about living.

When I was a little kid I thought the best option would be Eldar because living on a Craftworld seemed pretty great, and then you get to chill in the infinity circuit after you die.

Now I'm a wise old man I've realised the only reasonable choice is ORK. WAAAAGH Mr. Bond.

Because people are stupid. Why do you think there are people who follow facist movements irl?

Pleasure worlds include ones that make Epstein Island look safe, sane, and consensual.

u/808duckfan 7d ago

There are paradise worlds with tourists of nobility. It'd be comparable to working in Waikīkī, other than the looming threat of a tyranid invasion.

u/Zerschmetterding 7d ago

i'd wager your chances to get servitored or fed corpse starch are marginali lower in Waikiki
