This used to be an actual place. It's called Kowloon Walled

literally an ant hill

Why the fuck do so many people live in Honk Kong. Like fuck off how are they not fucking full.

So what happened?
Did they hit the behavioural sink?

>>140200756
I find it amazing that they could build that high under those conditions without anything collapsing.

>>140201104
No, the government demolished it once they finally felt like it went far enough. The place was a dangerous hellhole.

>>140200756
it was famous enough to get own vidya gaem
Shadowrun Hong Kong

It wasn't ungoverned, it was controlled by organized crime for the most part.

Why is it so comfy?

>>140201072
Would you rather live in wealthy, developed and relatively free Hong Kong or the mainland China?

>>140200756
Would have had a better chance at working out if they didn't build it so everything was the size of a portapotty.

Hong Kong is one of the great success stories of laissez-faire. <3

Because we made it livable.

>>140201266
Trust me, it wasnt comfy. You had multipple floodings in different parts of the "city" at the same time. Roden, roach, all kind of pest problems. Electrical issues. You would had to share living space with hobos and drug addicts.

>>140200756
Playing necromunda irl, huh

Hated those QTE plank walking sections of Shenmue here desu

I want an anarcho capitalist RPG game set in Kowloon city. I want to be able to start at the bottom of the city and work my way up as it gets more expensive and prestigious as you ascend. Someone make this game now.

>>140200756
Nice and cozy

were any movies filmed there?

>>140200756

That was my favorite level in Black Ops

>>140201527
There is no such concepts as prestige in the city and if you desire such things, you don't belong.

>>140201527
Can there be nanotech weapons and defenses involved?

>>140201187
there's also a level of Call of Duty: Black Ops that takes place there

>>140201646
Why's that missing so many? Is that normal for wiki - like is it just meant as a sampling of examples? Or is it just shit?

>>140200756
Jesus christ, and how are they considered human again? First the webms of their autistic behaviour like driving over children slowly while pretending to not notice, and now thisssss.

>>140201042
Fitting, considering the chinese are ant people.

>>140201567
I saw some clips from a documentary on yt, it looked depressing as fuck but the Chinese are a hardly lot, they will endure almost anything.

>>140201266
Because it's RL cyberpunk

>>140200756
This is an interesting topic, but it is a slide thread. Saw this last week. Same exact wording.

>>140201527
>Wake up in dumpster at the bottom of the city
>Almost not money
>Stumble around until you find quests or resources to use
>Complete quests
>Find occupation and specialize
>Doctor, gun for hire, gang member, gang leader, trader, manufacturer, chemist, drug dealer, thief, craftsman
>Open up a shop or travel looking for work
>Hustle your way up the levels of kowloon city
>Factions and gangs
>Basically fallout NV but inside kowloon city
>Maybe cyber punk it up a little to make it extra /comfy/

>>140200756
God I fucking hate commies.

>>140201733
Mate, try to be poor in Hong Kong. Yuu end up in the gutter or in a similar "city".

>>140201527
You make it, or pay people to make it.

How could it not be burned down? One grease fire should have spread all over it

>>140200756
Surely they demolished it with the people still in it or they would just move somewhere else and continue the degeneracy.

>>140201901
That's actually free market capitalism in action, porky.

>>140201901
Hong Kong is ancap paradise.

>>140201680
By prestige I mean the real hustlers are at the top, they have the most space and resources.

>>140201713
Of course

>>140201933
>>140201939
Commies demolished it.

>>140200756
Libertarian paradise, I cried a bit after seeing the cabling as a Elektrotechnikermeister

>>140201939
Hong Kong is the very opposite of anarchy tho.

>>140201914
I totally will. I have 16000 dollars to put into this and I can already make this stuff myself.

someone should make a cool neo noir movie about this place.

That place appears in Van Damme's Bloodsport.

Best movie ever.

>>140202041
It is an iconic staple in the cyberpunk genre already with many variants and offshoots based on the actual KWC or Hong Kong in general.

Fuckin bantz innit.
"Oi give me your lunch money"
"No"
"Okay now half your population is opium addicts"
"O"
Just another example of quality British Chad-ism.

Everything we touched turned to gold.

I think they used to make a lot of beautiful old beaded sweaters and such. My wife used to own a vintage shop and I swear a lot of the hand-knit and beaded knits from the 40s and 50s were from Kowloon. Pity it's gone, they had some incredibly skilled people there.

>>140203077
It's just the bottom levels though.
Filled with mutants, gooks, Genestealers and mutant Genestealer gooks.

The real question is how the fuck did a fire not rip that place apart? It was ripe for a nasty fire being so dense. Amazing it never happened. You couldn't get any resources to put out a fire raging through that place.

>>140203564
I guess they probably had fires from time to time

Well, they got us addicted to Tea so there is that.
>Drinking a Cup of tea now.

>>140203319
That's the most fun part. The only good thing to ever come out of the higher levels would be corpse starch.
>>140203564
The place was probably so soaked from all the disgusting shit they produced that that any fires would die out on heir own.
What I would have liked to see is a power outage there instead.

>>140203564
triads used to run a fire department iirc

>>140201072
hong kong is actually nice and i prefer the western expats who go to HK over what western people are now back in their home countries

also its very easy to get a well paid job in hong kong

>>140203951

Are Brits the original druggies in politics?

>>140204134
>well paid job in HK
tell me because its the coolest fucking city ive ever been to

software developer here and pretty sure it aint easy and I know its damn expensive to live a western lifestyle there

>>140200756
what's your political point?

>>140204190
drinks and such are expensive yes, along with housing but if you have a degree and maybe a little experience (though not mandatory) you could work here and easily expect 30k hkd a month (3 thousand pound, idk american conversion)

if you are working and have money coming in whilst living in hong kong, its a fucking blast and doesnt get boring

>>140204349
What are the laws there regarding home-produced beverages?

>>140204349
What is the housing market like?

Is the rent a major chunk of income like London, for example?

>>140204349
how much is housing because im making roughly that now after tax

whats ur profession?

>>140200756
And they used bamboo scaffolding to put out all up. Mind boggling.

>>140201072
It's much better then holland and no Turks everywhere

>>140201455
>trust me, I wasn't there

please shut the fuck up
