This is a universe with faster than light travel and near infinite resources. There's a homeless shelter in one of the major cities. I helped them out. Why the fuck is there a homeless shelter in a universe with FTL and near infinite resources?

I'm starting to think Fallout under Bethesda isn't a satire and their writers are just incapable of imagining anything beyond capitalism.

I haven't done any of the cyberpunk stuff yet. I spent like a minute in that city so far. It's not good?

I'm not saying Starfield is post-cyberpunk. I'm saying that post-cyberpunk as a literature genre tends to bleach all the social issues framed in cyberpunk under a firehose of hopium instead of seeing those issues resolved meaningfully.

Starfield just rocketed past those issues and left them still sitting out there.
