None of those are even close to the density of Night City. Tokyo has a density of 6,363 persons/km^2, compared to Night City’s density of 65,000 people/km^2.
Also those are ‘old’ cities. They have historical reasons for increasing density. Night City is a city founded and built by mega corps, represents the ‘new’ world that the mega corps want to build. My point is that in our world, the type of cities that are being built and our mega corps want, are all suburban spawl.
We are not even going to get dense cities like Night City. Imagine how much worse the cyberpunk dystopia is going to be with a 2.5 hour commute each way from the suburbs along a mega highway.
edit: Point is that its just branding, there’s nothing to get. If you think that its funny/clever/whatever, wait until you hear the the company Apple made a computer and called it a Macintosh. Because macintosh is a type of apple. apple, macintosh, nobody gets it seriously?
Also, valves don’t make steam. The flow of steam is controlled by valves in whatever machine still runs on steam, which is the actual “joke”.

“I like him too and want to have his fry, but how can I, if he doesn’t want to be a spawner? Where should I deposit my eggs, hey? In his cap?” - Sh’eenaz, a mermaid in the short story A Little Sacrifice, when discussing with Geralt if she should magically change her tail into legs to be with her beloved on land, or if he should change to be with her in the water. This implys that in The Witcher universe, mermaids do not fuck.
And then he turned himself into an SBC. Funniest shit I have ever seen.
