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

>Life for a Hive dweller.
>Wake up in your hab block, have a quick breakfast of retextured protein and other substances.
>Head to work at the manufactory.
>Dodge street urchens begging and collecting scraps falling from higher levels.
>Arrive at work, take your place at assemly belt.
>Your neighbour passes you two parts of a data-slate, it's your job to put them together and pass them to your other neighbour.
>Take break to pay to golden throne.
>Eventually your shift is done, you head to get paid.
>Go out drinking with coworkers, drink too much rotgut.
>End up buying substandard cooked rat from stall.
>Get home, pray to porcelain throne.
>Fall asleep.

Have you ever read 1984? It's kinda like that.
Levi Edwards
Varies widely, but since hive worlds probably contain a slim majority of the human population this guy: 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.
Ayden Butler
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.
William Reed
Aren't there paradise worlds tho
Jordan Campbell
Those are Exodite Eldar planets. The best average quality of life in the Imperium is probably Ultramar.
Caleb Thomas
Ever heared of Battlemace 42Million?
Gabriel Barnes
There's at least (heavily propagandized) TV, I remember a show about Imperial fighter pilots being referenced in one of the Ciaphas Cain novels.
Lucas Jenkins
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?
Christian Sanchez
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.
Aaron Lewis
NOT

>Is bot ai banned by the ad mech, so vidya isn't a thing?
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.
Mason Williams
Actual dwarf fortress with servators,
I'd play it
Julian Bell
>this is how hive cities are made

I suppose "dumb" computers, or "cogitators" are still a thing. What's forbidden is true AI.
Jeremiah Johnson
SOME
Robert Thompson
Cain read comics of "Arbitrator Forboding", which then is presumably published by the company 42000AD.
