What's life like for an imperial citizen? What jobs are

Everything is bad and shitty, forever, and every planet is under attack right now. Yes, every single one.

With less ducks.

Have you ever read 1984? It's kinda like that.

Varies widely, but since hive worlds probably contain a slim majority of the human population this guy: >>54443149 might be pretty close to "average."

One thing I try to keep in mind is that if we're going for the futuristic feudal feel of the setting, it's probably not a consumer culture. Workers probably spend their pittance on food and live entertainment, rather than home electronics and shit.

Literal constant merciless slavery with with no concern given to the longevity of the slaves, people say there are nice imperial worlds but i've yet to see it actually represented in official fluff.

Aren't there paradise worlds tho

>>54443861
Those are Exodite Eldar planets. The best average quality of life in the Imperium is probably Ultramar.

>>54442810
Ever heared of Battlemace 42Million?

>>54442810
There's at least (heavily propagandized) TV, I remember a show about Imperial fighter pilots being referenced in one of the Ciaphas Cain novels.

THAT'S

Reason I'm asking this is cause I'm going to be playing a beat cop in a hive, and want to give him a hobby.


Is bot ai banned by the ad mech, so vidya isn't a thing?

>>54443323
In Nemesis they showed an agriculture world with private Hovercraft (which got Daemoned), lush countryside (which got ritually sacrificed), and the humble life of a detective (who got murdered).

It was far nicer than the average hive world.

>>54443952
NOT

Yes, they're mostly replaced by Servitors so I guess vidya wound be live action?

I know nobels like to go into the underhive to hunt mutants with live ammunition.

>>54444053
Actual dwarf fortress with servators,

I'd play it

>>54444123
>this is how hive cities are made

>>54443952
JUST

>>54443990
I suppose "dumb" computers, or "cogitators" are still a thing. What's forbidden is true AI.

>>54444474
SOME

Cain read comics of "Arbitrator Forboding", which then is presumably published by the company 42000AD.
