Why do foreigners all think the entirety of America is NYC and SoCal? I've literally never been to either place in my entire life and I've lived in America for almost 34 years

It's so fricking weird considering their proximity to Russia, though I guess Russia is a lot less developed than America. The notion of a country that has actual cities and developed land across an entire continent must be totally alien to them
Life is Strange gave me a comfy small town Burgerpunk feel. I loved the days when I visited some friend in the states who lived in a small town around Connecticut.
It was made by french people and it shows, but they did nail some of the visual/aesthetic aspects at least. The sunset vista from the lighthouse on the cliff gave me a really wistful feeling >t. Grew up in the pacific northwest
What sense does a mobile strip mall make?
Especially one where you can park cars. I mean, the whole point of driving is to go somewhere. If it comes to you, then you wouldn't need to drive there. It doesn't make any sense
Long roadtrips but instead of having to pull over to a shitty motel you track a moving mall that's on a similar route, you match their speed and enter the parking lot, get off your car to rest and leave a few hours later by being birthed onto the highway.
Americana to the extreme.
Everyone lives in suburbs
Transportation is mostly long swathes of freeways
Diet is mostly burgers and pies
Standard weapon is hunting rifles
Factions are Theocrats/Libertarian/Conservatives
Consumables are coke brands
Car wrecks and collapsing bridges/buildings every ten seconds, people pulling large bugs and baby birds out of bushes and crevices on every street corner and stuffing them in their mouths, the constant neverending sound of street merchants loudly hawking their wares coming from every direction at all times
I got an idea for a cool game:
It’s the near future: robots and mutants are common sights and the government just ran the economy into the ground. College students with promising careers are rendered homeless, technocrats are slaughtered by their workers, and the best way to get rich is to become a mercenary. You are ScumBot Prime, a prototype of the wildly popular ScumBot line of lethal autonomous weapons with true artificial sapience (none of that ChatGPT bullshit). With your partner, a young boy whose organs are contained in a burlap sack suit, you’re a superstar millionaire living the good life; that is, until your boss figures he should pull a Circuit City maneuver (“Let those dumbass customers do the job themselves,”) and fires you and then the IRS finds out you’ve been cheating on your taxes.
You lose everything but your sweet ride and you’re stuck living with your veteran inventor (who could be called your mom) who keeps nagging for you to do odd jobs. You didn’t want this, so while chilling on the couch watching cartoons rehashing the same characters from the 90’s, you decide to start your own mercenary service: Grievances, inc.
And so begins your quest to stick it to your old boss, rebuild what you lost to the IRS, and, once even the government begins to hire you, take down the greatest criminal empire to ever exist just because the government will steal the regular taxpayers’ income just to fund your opulent lifestyle.
BIG
MMMMMMMMUUUTHERFUUUCKING
RIIIIIGGSSSS
AND WE GOT TRUCKS
YEAH, TRUCKS
Harvest moon-like sandbox game. You work odd jobs like burger flipping and date goblinas in that monstruous 84 wheeled land cruiser.
GTA5 is the quintessential burgerpunk.
>you can't even eat a burger in GTA V
nope
GTA VI will outclass it
accurate depiction of South Beach
of america*
not really, no
the US is a big place and the people are very cliquey

Ngl a truck that carries a mall is a kino idea
Strand-like game where you have to figure out how to most efficiently deliver comically large portions of fast food in a dark burgerpunk city.

Hunting exotic alien flora and fauna to extinction in order to sell as food for disgustingly decadent human colonies.
It's not burgerpunk if it's comfy tho.

I don't think that thing makes schoolbus routes. Imagine that in a cul-de-sac.
What's a burgerpunk? Is it like a corporate dystopia thing but the story is exclusively in america?

I'm on the black guy's side. Filthy sand Black person giving him a pink lighter
Why do you make this same exact thread every night?
Man, having to drive around Texas regularly makes me wish this was real.
Why is there an airplane? Wouldn't it make more sense to have it be a helicopter?
doesn't have enough murican flags
they love their flags
May I ask what Chinapunk looks like?
Kowloon
full of escalator boss fights
china punk is one giant industrial park death trap where you have to constantly dodge environmental hazards or else die horrifically
was he hurt?
No, luckily the beam was just made of Chinese steel.
>china is such a shithole that people consider it worthy of its own -punk subgenre altogether
grim
Don't forget the Cultural Revolution
and the worst part, is the hypocrisy
with hungry lathes and loss of social credit for spreading rumors on Ganker
Car wrecks and collapsing bridges/buildings every ten seconds, people pulling large bugs and baby birds out of bushes and crevices on every street corner and stuffing them in their mouths, the constant neverending sound of street merchants loudly hawking their wares coming from every direction at all times
Judge Dredd is peak burgerpunk
Palworld
Cruelty Squad?
