  • I case of the dystopian stories like CP2077 or Shadowrun, the “coziness” comes from that the companies and the state dont care about the individual at all, in a way that they dont even try to control you directly anymore and that can be kind of freeing. If no one cares anymore if you squat in some abandoned building you are free to live your life there as you want.

    I can imagine that even this feels freeing compared to nowadays where you are, as long as you dont fit in, you get actively and very directly antagonised by systems and people.

    And i find it also terribly sad that i feel that way.


  • Yeah if i remember correctly you are right. But I can add that at 5 the gas chambers are basically gone, but right behind them, the big grey area we see, is a big memorial that has been build afterwards.

    Also i believe the building on the left was some kind of workcamp where a few prisoners were “allowed” to help kill their fellow prisoners in some way.
