I am too lazy to check, but did they by chance fix it? That would be even more hilarious.

[-] tacofox@lemm.ee 5 points 7 hours ago

I only know about “DIN” specification standards because of the recent New Mind video about washers 😭

[-] Red_October@lemmy.world 62 points 17 hours ago

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.

I work in municipal development, and this is the kind of shit I notice all the time.

My job is to nitpick details.

[-] puchaczyk 156 points 21 hours ago

No, you don't understand. Night City is a dystopia, so they use wrong manhole covers to show how corrupt this city is.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 56 points 19 hours ago

Finally, someone on Lemmy that's media literate

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!

[-] OozingPositron@feddit.cl 3 points 18 hours ago

Wtf, I like cyberpunk now??

[-] HappyFrog 3 points 16 hours ago

You didn't like it before? It's epic.

[-] OozingPositron@feddit.cl 1 points 15 hours ago

I didn't, you don't wanna go there man.

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??

[-] rustyfish@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

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.

[-] _stranger_@lemmy.world 23 points 18 hours ago

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...

[-] tetris11@lemmy.ml 29 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago)

If this is true, fuck you it's all I can think about right now

[-] ComfortableRaspberry@feddit.org 5 points 6 hours ago

It actually is. You can go to feddit.de communities and check the last posts.

[-] tetris11@lemmy.ml 1 points 6 hours ago
[-] Kazumara@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 5 hours ago

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

https://discuss.tchncs.de/c/main@feddit.de

[-] tetris11@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 hours ago

('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

[-] Kazumara@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 3 hours ago

No worries, just trying to help out!

[-] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 19 hours ago

Holy shit

I imagine he’s in a Burmese prison with J. Peterman

[-] hypnicjerk@lemmy.world 3 points 17 hours ago
[-] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

I am aware. Ive even been. But in the show (Seinfeld) its 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 and later admits he was just making up jibberish

Instead of fixing the spec, they should make a "randomly falls through manhole cover" mechanic.

[-] filcuk@lemmy.zip 40 points 20 hours ago

I believe it was there on release

[-] ulterno@programming.dev 6 points 19 hours ago

And people failed to understand why their heavy vehicles were getting stuck in roads.

[-] MithranArkanere@lemmy.world 66 points 22 hours ago

Can't play the game until they are fixed.

[-] steal_your_face@lemmy.ml 16 points 20 hours ago

Literally unplayable

[-] khapyman@sopuli.xyz 15 points 18 hours ago

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.

[-] PalmTreeIsBestTree@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago

Germans and Japanese are the Axis powers of fax machines

[-] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 3 points 16 hours ago

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?

[-] nihilomaster@lemmy.world 40 points 22 hours ago

Don't worry. Someone wrote a mod to fix that issue

[-] Melonpoly@lemmy.world 27 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

Why have realistic graphics if you're going to ignore minor details like these ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[-] tauren@lemm.ee 4 points 19 hours ago

Vibe coded and vibe manholed the whole game smh.

[-] flicker@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 20 hours ago

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.

[-] fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk 13 points 19 hours ago

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.

[-] Metz@lemmy.world 5 points 16 hours ago

Buchstäblich unspielbar.

[-] seeigel@feddit.org 12 points 19 hours ago

Can somebody explain why it makes sense that the green underlined number and the red circled number are not the same, please?

[-] Dragonstaff@leminal.space 36 points 19 hours ago

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? ;)

[-] rustydrd@sh.itjust.works 20 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

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.

[-] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 18 hours ago

kids these day. the german education system really is falling apart. smh.

[-] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 19 hours ago

The green is the correct standard and the red not being the same is what they are complaining about not being correct

Anzeige ist raus

[-] MummifiedClient5000@feddit.dk 10 points 21 hours ago

Boy, I really hope someone got fired for that blunder.

[-] tetris11@lemmy.ml 3 points 20 hours ago

A wizard did it

[-] hoshikarakitaridia@lemmy.world 3 points 17 hours ago

!lemmysilver

[-] qyron@sopuli.xyz 6 points 20 hours ago

I'd leave the hole covers in place and add the code to have it break under weight.

[-] technopagan@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 20 hours ago

Total Immersion Killer.
