Since we're talking about the 1998 Godzilla which stared Matthew Broderick, I am compelled by my brain urges to bring up that in 1987 he killed two people in Northern Ireland and only received a $100 fine.
i know, still he did basically wipe out Greece, afaik its still a plague ridden sunless hellscape
it wasnt the 1998 movie was it?
Yea he was the main character
The more you know
I didnt know that
I love admech cause they have both so much range, and are at the same time, incredibly committed to their schtick
Guilliman turns into a WWE star and starts roasting people when he is mad.
I mean it's quite amusing.
Why
This seems pretty controversial
fair enough
I mean, tech priests take a fucking crazy amount of shapes and forms
really cool from a character building perspective because they can look like and be pretty much almost anything
They don't care about that they replace all organs with tubes and pipes
Thats what I meant
Usually most Ad Mech look the same.
but not all tech priests are fully mechanical, biologis priests for example, but most are just a walking smart fridge
Slightly different but it's not noticeable.
With the metal Ad Mech and biologis are different
Then you get the electropriests.
but then again biologis can go from anywhere to fucking hulking muscle gigachad to walking surgical suite
Who burn their eyes away.
so it depends on the sect
Yeah
Kinda, they sense with electric signals
^
So they are like sharks.
Similar to Astropaths
Expect sharks have eyes.
Where they use the warp and what not to see
Sharks rely on electric signals
And can sense things similar to what I mean.
Hence why they go after any electronics on boats.
Or anything with an electrical pulse.
Cawl might be a machine lover but he has a sense of humor.
Roasting is just 40k nature.
They can be like insectoid and shit
Lion apparently had a personality change and is now a wise old man.
Cawl is a metal centipede man the size of a tank
iirc some tech-priests full on float
as in they dont even have legs just anti-grav stuff
the Fabricator-General is prob the biggest example
literally and figuratively since hes the size of a hab-block lol
kek
so like yeah it depends
he thicc
rule of thumb is the higher the rank the more outlandish/monsterus the tech-priest's body is
Pretty much yeah, they can get massive
god
tech priest reproduction in action
like, replace that section with them growing a baby in a tube and yeah basically lmao
Nurgle has bigger Boobs than Slanesh.
Sisters of Battle never fall to chaos like Space Marines do.
I mean they do but unlike space marines it's quite uncommon and rare even.
If they do fall to chaos it's usually covered up and removed from every bit of information.
Censorship tends to make people believe that.
It makes no sense
Black Templars turned to chaos and they worship the Emperor.
Sisters of Battle are not immune if Black Templars are not immune.
And people believe the Emperor who is talking to them is probably Khorne.
The Zealots probably have Khorne talking to them saying he is the Emperor.
I wouldn't doubt it.
The only one talking to my Psyker is Umbra Brandonius
I mean the zealots
Better known by his worldly name, Dark Brandon
There are heavily featured khornate sisters from the same event
So it's censorship by the Ecclesiarch
That makes people believe sisters are incorruptible.
As far as the average Joe is concerned everyone not them is incorruptible
If you allow people to know your defenders and angels can be corrupted
Then youll have a societal collapse
Isn't society collapsing anyway?
In a society live, we do
-Yoda, circa M41.
yes
the imperium has been locked in a state of societal collapse for the past 10k years
a corpse to ignorant and stubborn to realize its already dead
Hot take: Krieg Space Marines.
Awful
Space marines aren't made to be expendable to my knowledge so unless they're just big, very rare figures of propaganda I don't really see it
Could be wrong though
Space marines arent expendable but they are made to take a beating
ngl space marines with trenchcoats over their armor and helmets that look like gasmask do sound kind of cool tho
I like the idea of a guard regiment somehow getting some skewed schematics to geneseed creation and attempt to mass produce shittier space marines
gland warriors
Pog!
aka bargin brand space marines
That shit's awesome
That could actually make sense for it, they get a hold of it and in their fervour create their very own angels
Very shitty angels that arent all that much better than regular humans
Sounds cool to me in that case
Could toss it up to the planet being a production site for geneseeds that had their original schematics fucked up over generations of leadership changes
Gland Warriors, also known as Homo sapiens auctus glandulae,[3] are a specialized, genetically modified force of Imperial Guardsmen originally designed to battle the Tyranids. Despite being Human originally, due to the nature of their modifications they are now generally classified as Abhumans by the Imperium at large.[1]
Or the guard had just grabbed this thing and dont really know what theyre doing
literally just nock off space marines that are just a little better than normal human guardsmen
I love how mechanicus can just be like “yeah, we’ll invent a new abhuman species” but if you ask them to make a slightly brighter flashlight that isn’t in the original design, they’ll execute you for tech heresy
Obviously that’s hyperbole but I always love the hypocrisy
If you’re a psyker and fighting tyranids, you’re essentially fucked due to the shadow right?
you can fight it but it's incredibly painful
you dont have to worry because psykers are doing sudoku when that happens or is my memory bad
No the constant screaming scrabbling voices just get in your head like maggots into a corpse, and you’re either killed by the stress of it, incapacitated, or unable to use your powers, unless you are of a incredible force of will
Ngl the way I picture it is very akin to the Imperial Fists, but enacting on Trench Warfare. Armor decorated with Krieg symbols akin to WW2 "german" uniforms, maybe even modified Power-Augers as opposed to Shovels. Space Marine helmets (as well as their organs) are already built to handle bio/chemical weapons
Was relating to the whole advancement of war thing
Death Korps would be WW1, while their (hypothetical) SM counterparts would be WW2
ah ok
Although now that raises another question
What about WW1 US-styled counterpart regiment?
I could see them using Locke Pattern lasrifles
Like all of imperium, the only question is WHO makes them
Bio Magos
“I miss Male Custodes”
Is the rant from the screenshot really that unreasonable?
I just love seeing it
I want to collect more
Like that dude on twitter going insane cause a republic commando died or something
I am Trazyn but for stuff like this
Dead Space but Votann are simply built different
Oh i do, but its overwhelming salt
I want the smallest group
Of something massive
Also its more contration to like the show as opposed to hating it
Oh, Mauler is a cool guy, love his vids
I mean, if someone is seemingly being a contrarian, maybe there is an actual reason for it, and not desire for being a contrarian?
People like going against the grain
Tbh, it has a lot of things I could pick at and I do think people gloss over some issues
But, it’s still very good
Much better than I thought it was gonna be
As it goes on and if they keep doing certain things then I’ll probably actually dislike it
And it's a game adaptation too and those back in the day are notorious for being some of the worst media
Nowadays they are pretty good if not amazing
Yeah
There was a final fantasy anime thats actually cool
The dude with a gun that takes three bullets made from like different coloured materials
Also Pokemon show
yeah it's pretty fun
The diamon and pearl ones were good
The Dofus show
Maplestory Anime (jokes)
Theres been a few good video game adaptations
The mario cartoon is probably my fave
Mortal Kombat Annhilation is an underrated fave cause the OST was kinda cool
A lot of people want 1 to 1 recreations of shows, and I think how stupid that is honestly
If an interactive media can be adapted to become non-interactive media perfectly, then the original media wasnt interactive at all
i'm going to be honest though back in the day a lot of them were ass
like it literally got ingrained in the world that if it's a video game adaptation it woulde be a very very low chance to be good
Video game adaptations used to be a sort of self fulfilling prophecy, Hollywood didn't view video game stories as real stories so they didn't take them seriously, so they didn't make adaptations with the proper effort they needed, so they flopped.
Then because they flopped they'd say "See video game adaptations don't work"
The biggest issue is making them profitable enough to recoup losses
I think that's 2 folds.
Most cinema directors and writer want to do their own stories.
So usually those that do Ip work more often than not do it cause they are forced to it
By requiring it to be profitable youd need as much people in the seats as possible
Even now, gamers are not a massive market when you compare it to just general population
Arcane and The Fallout show are some of the best outliers ive seen
Last of Us as well
Hell the fucking music video that league did for the KDA skins is in the same park
You can make the best piece of work show ever for the fans, but if it makes little money, no ones really gonna be happy about it
Even if the actor gets 1 million bucks, and then you subtract his payments to things, the actor makes what, 600k for 3 years of work?
Imagine the basic actor who gets half of that for 3 years
Then the production teams and so on and so forth
man the doom movie was a bit of a waste, absolute bangers first person section in an otherwise average movie
that's 200k a year bruv. i'd kill for that salary
Would be even better if you live a more humble life compared to mansion-style shit.
Would save up even more money from that due to a lack of costs (mostly)
100k a year is almost more than I'd make my entire life 
200k before tax and living costs in LA/NY
Also most actors arent hollywood royalty or from wealthier families
So much like most filipinos are also people who send back remittances
The smallest union salary for an actor in a film is 60k.
For the US anyway
which is really good next to the minimum in many other lines of work
60k for a film that may take 2 years to shoot?
i assume its a monthly salary
Actors dont get monthly salaries??
ok then its dogshit
If their production company is good with their contract they might get allowances
Even if youre a good actor and act a lot, if you dont get a big break
Youre pretty much working for the rest of your life
Bruce Willis willingly gave his likeness to companies and ai companies because it meant his family didnt need to worry about dropping into poverty
yeah being an actor is very much a trap, because the lucky ones end up making millions just by having their faces shown so people think its an easy way to get rich
I think the biggest thing people always forget is the point i made where they have to essentially look after their family as well
Like you can make lots of cash but youre also the breadwinner
tbf a lot of households dont have just a single breadwinner anymore so that is part of why they forget that
Its hard to feel sympathy for some too is the thing
Oh for sure
Harrison Ford literally shows up like a corpse on a set and just mumbles gets like a billion
Otherwise though yeah its the same with voice acting and so on, unless you get a big break you really much are just a nobody
i love Ford but he really needs to retire
The Coppolas and Nicolas Cage are literal hollywood royalty
Fucking Martin and Charlie Sheen too
Cage I mostly let go because like he definitely is crazy lmfao
instead of buying cars he buys fucking historical relics and voodoo shit like a supervillain
đź’€
OR A PYRAMID GRAVE
I mean him and Marilyn Manson also got each others backs all the time too

is he going Adam West or something?
Nick Cage is the superman we need
one thing I love about him is that if you made him a Khorne worshipper you wouldn't even notice a difference
Like him playing crazy people is so natural it's actually concerning
Nick is also legit a good actor
the problem is hes also like an actual force of nature, you need to have a movie he fits into perfectly or he will absolutely ruin it with his acting lol
he very much comes off as a demon trapped in a man's body sometimes lmfao
But even so, he's sort of a treat to watch
oh always
Who's the weird scientologist stuntman again
Ahh Tom Cruise
they need to have him voice Pickolas Cage just for the luls
he left the cult last i heard
or at least has started breaking ties
Hopefully true
ofc thats what happens when a literal comedy show exposes said cult for the ponzi scheme it really is
I loved it when the south park guys actually joined scientology to learn all about its "lore" so that the ycould mock it on the show
like that is Inquisition tier commitment

that episode ruined the cult
It's funny because on that same show, the guy that voiced the school's chef was part of Scientology
yeah
He just didn't care lmao and that's pretty based
then he cult took him out of the show and later got him killed due to their shit medical beliefs
Forgot how he died
had a stroke and the cult had him exercise in a hot room because they dont like actual medicine or doctors
Awful
Travolta is also a scientologist isn't he
and before that the cult member that was managing his work stuff when he first suffered the stroke pulled him out of southpark
fucking scientology is sickening
lmao
Oh I meant like an actual video game inside the 40k universe
Yeah I figured after
And not a game that is themed around the 40k universe irl
Yeah there is but like
its usually Atari-tier mind numbing stuff
because there isnt really a "company" in 40k that would make these things lol
Imagine capitalism existing in 40k
Well it does
Some mech priest's pet project
Isn't most shit state owned?
Kinda but not really
its state owned in "name"
otherwise capitalism is everywhere in most imperial worlds, except you cannot do anything about your higherups abusing you and using you as literal slave labor lol
Rogue Traders are prob the biggest example
they are all about that merch
Well, they're "rogue," so technically outside of the state/government entirely
Things are state owned but the state is made up of various nobility
Well no
Rogue Traders got power but they still will answer to the Imperium
otherwise they will lose their status
The important part of socialism is that the government owns the means of production. Distribution of wealth isn't really covered by the umbrella term of socialism
Socialism just means no private property
Yeah socialism makes way more sense for a post scarcity society anyway
Pretty much yeah
eldar have no need for police on craftworlds etc because unlike us they wouldnt really raise any fuss.
people can become shopkeepers and sell free items just because they are bored
Well technically speaking there's no private property for the common man since the common man is private property
In 40k
Also corporations exist in the Imperium too its just not as wide as something like Star Wars
It’s closest really to Chinese state capitalism. People own their private property and run the industry but property rights don’t stop the government from taking everything when they want to or feel like it
Marx noted that automation would eventually force a socialist society, and a socialist state will form once automation takes everything over. China considers itself a proto socialist state because they don't have the required automation yet
arent the houses of necromunda literally just legalized cartels?
AI is going to take our jerbs
Very much so lmao
they all also sell their own products
Van Saar, Escher and Orlock especially
so literally the means of production is owned by the crimelords
who in turn are forced to pay up to the bigger crimelords at the top of the hive
A big majority is yep, the main Imperial House aka Helmawr's is kind of dependant on them.
exactly yeah
gangfighting is also encouraged
lmao
hell the spire nobles sometimes hunt the lower hive dwellers for fun iirc
yeah those are Spyrers
basically suiting up to go kill homeless people
mostly for "fun" đź’€
Goliath too
imagine if the admech ever learn about Van Saar's STC
they did send a team there once
they got "lost" searching for it, aka killed 
in compensation Van Saar gave the sniffers some older tech and they were satisfied
i learned a little about that STC recently, seems another house that once ran the tech on necromunda tried to hack it
How much resources do you think the imperium would need to waste to you know destroy you or you in theory take over necromunda
the STC counterhacked them and ruined their equipment thus allowing Van Saar to finish them off and take over
Uh not much but it would be devastating
Yeah before they properly settled down the STC was constantly moved around the Hive, once they waited for too long the STC began to literally "root" itself down and spread across the entire hive like treeroots, its very much almot a part of the entire city
the Van Saar house codex goes into it a lot, its super neat
it really makes the STCs a lot more impressive than the old "just really fancy 3d printers" stuff
its great 
image what a still fully intact and functional one is capable of
Mansions and yachts are pure display of excessive wealth, saying that you have enough money to build big ass house that you only really spend time in a few rooms, and pleasure craft thats a money sink
its little wonder the admech will literally move heaven and earth at the mere prospect of finding one
yeah it would take a significant force to crack
do they still have a store of nukes?
because in the event of an imperial force trying to take over the planet i can see them giving said force the same treatment they gave the GSC
Yeah like if i was a millionare id legit just get a good apartment and be happy tbh lol
mfer expecting to see me at fancy restaurants while im munching on a local pizza store
hell in some cities you need to be a millionaire just to afford a good apartment lol
Apartment isnt really my thing, but id be satisfied with a nice, cozy house in a nice location rather than some 100 acre mansion with legion of servants
lets face it, very few who seek wealth and fame are humble
Honestly a simple house is like easier to navigate in anyway so what's the point of having a giant *** mansion with complicated layouts and just some waste of money
If I really wanted to waste money I would go on a vacation somewhere
And i mean, mansions couldnt easily be sold. Market is limited to fellow filthy rich people
to house your insanely inflated ego ofc
Unless its something like castle or chateau with history
you know why theaters have double doors? so the actors can fit their giant heads in
Runts
Yeah I just want a stable income and a house but even that is a tall order nowadays
yeah
I have em, but i live in buttfuck nowhere with farms as far as the eyes can see
But i am lazy and i would rather be a neet
ngl that sounds like a great place to live
Alas, the bills arent gonna pay themselves so i keep working
its the same reason I roll my eyes when people say Paradise Worlds are "great", the answer you should always give is "yeah if you are a noble/rich person" lol
its literally working at Disney World but unlike IRL said rich person can shoot you just because he doesnt like you
I came from big, chaotic city so it was a big flip, and it is a wee bit too rural for my taste
honestly so many who say stuff like that seem to think they would be a rich person in the imperium
or a space marine or something
it all sucks
Sure you got pleasures at your fingertips but also daggers hanging over you too.
even being a lord of terra sucks
Hey at least on a paradise world you MIGHT get better quality of life in general, if only by a little bit
being a High Lord is just Stalin Simulator
even as a Rogue Trader the mere virtue of you being in the galaxy cuts your life expectancy by a lot
you know what they say, fortune favors the bold lol
proceeds to warp jump into a warp storm and dies in ways to horrible to imagine

that can actually almost happen to you in the rogue trader CRPG in fact
if you fail the skill checks when you try to cross the Maw out of the expanse
Luckily i focus on making routes safe rather than balling it with red jumps
same
There is a skill check? I thought its just instakill
i should have definitely learned from you
the amount of demons skulls i have in my collection
its one of the book event things
Let's just say funny
Sheit, do you have how it ends
Because now i am curious
you make it to the port on the other side but they are stuck in a warp storm so you run back
and take like half your hull's hp in damage
Lmao i have a whole circle of green route around the expanse, travelling is safe and easy
Bruh so you just lose half your ship hp for literally nothing
yup
Such an ass option, even more ass than instakilling you
well its very much meant to be the "dumbass" move
your high factorum more or less says that at the start of the event
and it will instakill you if you fail any of the skill checks during the event
I guess you get bragging rights for going through the maw and back, but god damn
thats literally the reason you do it lol
Can you even actually get out? Most I was able to do was get to a station out there and say “fuck this I’m going back”
nope
thats the ending
of that event at least
the expanse is cut off for the duration of the game afaik
Darn, in one of the patch notes devs said something like “fixed the maw text event being incomplete” and I thought maybe the lack of options was a bug
the great rift has basically closed the maw
Cicatrix maledictum moment
yup
Question, do warp storms affect realspace?
Oh hell yeah
yes
in Dawn of war Soulstorm one of the plot points is that reinforcements can't enter the system because of a warp storm but there is a you know a skill that allows you to just get reinforcements for some reason but nobody cares
move planets around, turn the star into a blackhole, turn the planets into blackholes
turn the people on them into mushrooms
there is no end to what can happen
Yeah just like the warp it's a very random thing
the watcher in the rain story was a very tame example of what a warp storm can do to a world
Man
I thouhht it wouldve been pretty funny if warp storms just stayed in the warp and theres nothing in realspace
Kinda like the subtler horror aspects of it tho, not the whole SHIT OIT DEMONS BY THE MILLIONS thing
That said, rogue trader crpg did have a few of those
Shame it was mostly in text form
40k is full of little horror stories and unexplained events
its part of why i love the setting so much
Im a horror fan, and i listened to a recap of watcher in the rain
The plots of a few other ones i saw didnt hit me quite as well
yeah watcher in the rain is one of the best ones
its also a great example of how chaos isnt behind every traitor to the imperium
most times its just people that break under the strain the imperium puts on them
The thing that kinda hits me in there was that theres a whole madhouse of former admin workers who went off the deep end from the strain
yeah
and they where locked in the lower levels and forgotten
the world is being evacuated and no one even bother to try to get them out
A whole warp fuckery going on and the imperiums worse enemy was still itself
yup
the daemon called the watcher wasnt even a main focus
just an everlooming background threat
I also do like how the daemon wasnt even fleshed out. Having things just be mysterious background thing is far more interesting than ITS A TZEENTCH MONSTA
yeah
we have no idea what it even looked like because anyone that looked at it directly went insane and most killed themselves
hell even the servoskull got effected
10/10 horror story monster
Indeed
The watcher was actually the good guy in that stoty
All it did was expose shitty people to their shittiness
yup
hince the "go insane and kill themselves" reaction
still wonder what the fuck the servoskull saw tho
Ricardo
I looked up "Ricardo" and instead got a local Italian restaurant. Thanks y'all for indirectly getting me to find it
yw xD

damn bro looking like a disney daddy
All primarchs are warp beings
He just unlocked or is utilizing more of his power
All the stuff we see him do in the short is just stronger versions of already existing Raven Guard librarian powers
he drank that one potion from Bioshock
just a special operation
will be lost on a lot of people lol
where have i heard this before

mmmmm
Ah yes the three day program
I remember watching some dudes firearm analysis and his takeaway was that all their gear is budget tier shit
Live arc shotgun reaction
Unclock your railguns
72 hours of training is already overkill for a SEAF grunt
super earth truly spare no expense
Why did we settle a world with fire tornados
I need to play helldivers 2 again at some point
I kind of missed that entire sony drama
Natural geothermal energy
Half the playerbase has forgot about it already
idk
it came and went in like 3 days
There's a lot of shit planets lol
People can technically live there so super earth will put you there
Truuue, i saw they cut access to certain regions
I thought they had fixed it too
Nah hell no
“Certain” Africa
you can still play if you own it but yeah no more buying it there
sony being sony i guess
Japan as well lol
Tbh it got resolved fairly fast and it resulted in one of their worst Reddit mod tier CMs being fired so
never had to interact with them before this game
That’s why
you know the country where Sony is based
Sony and Arrowhead made the correct choice
Instead of democracy is it japanese imperialism
something something, va agencies
I believe it’s called “Divine Winders”
Sounds accurate tbh
Japan has its own separate version, because yeah the va licensing but also their micro transaction laws
Something about the japanese language and how they emphasize their words is good
Me, not sure if the other language dubs are good or if I just don’t understand what they’re saying so my mind thinks it’s good.
Total meme tier though
English vs russian dub for atomic heart
I just couldnt do the english va
p much yeah
And spent like the entire game not understanding what the fuck was going on because i missed subtitles
That’s more cause the games dialogue is written by a 13 year old
aslong as the va puts energy into their acting
Something something polymers
Who just learned what sex is
even if it's dogshit, i'll enjoy the va when i don't understand it
Big booba robots
Metro is nice with the Russian version
I enjoy metro
My favourite part of KCD is listening to the Cumans
late but
Henry speaks Hungarian better than most of my contemporaries
voice acting moment
I like the dub for DiD
i hope kcd2 fucks
Oh I didn't even realize that Senshi is ProZD
simply play old anime fighters with Japanese audio only, you get to hear a wide variety of voice acting quality

Deep Sea King you can’t call them that anymore
I don't think he cares ngl
Damn crazy
Anyways, who wants to get some noodles and fish? I hear it’s extra cheap today.
I really do love how he just gets dispatched instantly
and the scene that follows after
man OPM is good
s3 soon
bruh
Whats the lore reason behind his hair loss
s1 will remain peak but i have decent hopes for s3
Is it his crippling depression

To didn’t
Genetics
You fucking worthless system
Poor guy
Also its because he literally achieved the apex of human peaknes
He really is screwed
like no joke lol
^
Ah yes hes become the andrew tate sigma male
me when 40k fans are making another "who would win" dumb argument and Saitama gets mentioned đź’€
With less sex trafficking
lost hair to optimise aerodynamics
Ok who would win
Saitama every time
Ok but
Who would win, my foot vs your ass
his entire joke is that he cannot lose
My ass
written to only win yeah
True your ass is pretty nice
yeah this

he's a joke character
its not about having a good fight for him but also being humble
so saitama solo every fiction
Everyone can appreciate a good dumpie
he admits he could crack the planet apart if he wanted to đź’€
literally
But yeah he’s a joke character done well in a universe which plays it straight
^
Like that entire sea king episode
that monster kicks everyones ass
Saitama kills it instantly and people think everyone else just sucked
His entire concept is he’s like a meme fanfic OC character in a brutal very serious universe
so he acts like an asshole so that he can take the blame etc
Also this yeah, he rarely gets serious and when he does the antagonist just dies
I hate power scalers between settings
or just power scalers in general

which is why i loved the boros fight classic anime vilain going all out vs the joke characater
same
We should scale them off a cliff
also the ending to that thing
Idk why Andrew Tate is the famous one every time I see him and his brother Tristan is just Andrew but funnier, handsomer, and more cool.
where Boros just says Saitama wasnt even trying
and that the fight was basically pointless
its great
because Andrew is better at grifting people lol
i haven't been spoiled the garou fight but i've been told it's peak fiction
Well I'll meme the life out of him but I'll give him that he's really good at marketing himself
Tristan is the real sigma male, he does the same shit but doesn’t get most of the flak cause he lets his brother be the dumb one
Like 99% of his shit takes exist to propel his name
Saitama punches cosmic-garou so hard he sends away the gas that covers the surface of saturn
lmao
Its very fun
And like, it works
He also constantly tells Garou that hes an edgelord and that he should stop trying to be one.
It's how all the grifters online work except he's a more hip grifter compared to like
Nazis who get mad at toys
He’s charismatic
LOL
He’s dumb but he is a good talker
but also yeah what makes Saitama work is he kind of has that Clark Kent personality
"I just live my life and sometimes like helping people"
I haven't watched OPM
It’s a fun show
Very unique
Kinda a spoof show of a lot of that sort of anime
Just so there’s no confusion
This is the climax fight of the first season
Where he’s avoiding the big bads attacks by fast walking backwards
you also get "oh shit" moments when he says hes finally gonna do a Serious Punch
aka all his attacks before werent serious
đź’€
I havent watched a lot of anime recently
Last thing i watched was the meme factory that is attack on titan
Me when a friend recommends me an anime and then I ask him if it has loli or harem shit in it and he has to do that awkward “ok yeah but it’s really good you out gotta ignore that”
Which tbf he’s probably right a lot
"Oh my god it was the nazis all along"
It’s sucks cause there’s legit some great shows
Which just have that stuff for no reason
But it has to be about a 12 year old
Well, not no reason
I mean I’m not saying he’s sus, he just likes good shows and really doesn’t like that stuff either
The content not the person
It was his primary issues with Hunter x Hunter
I just personally cant
horrid
worst trope
I think what put me off was sword art online
Cyberpunk had the same shit it’s so cringe
tbf at least the character acts like a grown woman
unlike other things
Oh yeah rebecca
Meta mention of people comparing hades to the crappy anime with god waifus who look like generic anime girls
Like ths roguelike?
Yeah
Also at least we get
O
Its great
Cup?
She gets turned into a god damn coaster
Its so fucking funny
That's some disrespectful stuff
Yeah I hope their ratings flatten because of that
This is one of the best marketing jokes I've ever seen.
I think this will absolutely crush anyone who likes the show
I don't think it landed well
I have to really know though, how did Rebecca not think "I should not stand under a falling cyberborg after he jumped out of a skyscraper"
Or at least have like the basic primal urge of "don't have fast object hit you"
I’m just happy Rebecca died
The way she died made it better but
Adam getting to actually show why he’s so feared was nice too
I now pull off to the side while driving in NC whenever "I really want to Stay at your house" plays on my radio. always
Slaps
Adam appearing to kill half the cast was so fucking good
he basically is just a Space Marine with speed-enhancements
That Sandevistan is fucked
that was a real Darth Vader moment like in Jedi Fallen Order. It's not about fighting, its about running.
YEP
and I do like the visual representation of Cyberpsychosis, from the game its just another bounty. But edgerunners show the result of "Hurr durr, I am become the Smartphone" with how much tech you put in your body
I think she just wanted to die making a snide remark
Darth vader fights should never be anything but running for your life.
I think the random explanation was "the relic did that'
What did he call it?
A child's toy?
Bro, that was an instant win button up until that point.
The gravity exoskeleton was made originally for him too and i genuinely do not want to see him cause damage with that thing
rudimentary implant
It’s a basic level thing for him
Which is funny because this thing could produce enough gravity to crush tanks and vehicles apart
A Sandivistan is the barrier to entry
"oh so you think the Sandevistan is your ally?"
Tbh I do wish they’d show Max Tac with them too
Since 1000% they’d have them too
Honestly, David 100% should have won that fight
Cyberpsychosis tends to also form in people with actual seirous truama or PTSD to a certain degree, its not exactly about the amount of chrome.
Corporations cover this up in-lore iirc so people dont stop buying bionics.
David had like a ton of it lol
Now, we, the viewer, have it whenever we think about the show and we immediately enter depression
Look i know copium is one hell of an addiction but the guy has a ramping up psychotic problems of of his lost teammates and you add on the fact of his cybernetic abuse it's not going to end well
Yeah it’s more you give a fucked up person a insanely dangerous body and it becomes a lot more notable when they snap
Anyway you slice it
Basically this yeah
He’s not anywhere near Adam’s level
like the dark thing with the story is everything is David's fault
He is literally starting to mentally break down from all of the damage starting to pile up
if he was smart he would have left the city
How did I describe Cyberpsychosis before?
"It's like if Dementia and Schizophrenia decided that they wanted to become a computer virus."
The point of the story is David thinks he’s hot shit in the big leagues and Adam is him actually meeting the big leagues
and from the RPG take its also about the tolerance .The "Empathy" stat,
Hey at least lucy is alive just depressed
He did something right once in his life
Pfft she was already depressed
What’s new
That what she gets for trying to feel something
Hopefully she’ll have learned her lesson
I think the excuse they use for V never going cyber psycho is because they literally got 2 minds in their head to handle the tech
Yeah it was entirely handwaved by "relic"
"and impressive cock"
As expected from a space marine fan you deem emotion and loving something weakness
Yeah pretty much, Johnny outdoes it mostly and V isnt that heavily augmented
Why the hell didn't Lucy just tell David what was going on?
Because they are dumb teenagers
the tragedy is none of this would have happened if they didnt lie to each other
Kids are dumb
That’s not how cyberpsychosis works
Its almost all David's fault
like he should have left Night City the moment Maine died
he told him to keep running and dont look back
We see with Max Tac plenty of people can adjust fine to a lot of augments
I know, take it up with CD Project Red
but he didnt listen
Technically, you can severely tech up before the heist/before you get the relic
The doctor even warned him with the installed implant
The moment you install that there's no going back
The game makes a point that it doesn’t work that way
All the “cyberpsychos” you meet aren’t that way cause their augments mostly
Half of them aren’t even psychos really
How many times do people forget that v has a literal chip that constantly rewrites her brain
Cyberpsychosis is a really complicated issue with many facets. Part of it is also medical
cept that one Maelstrom ritual where they brought a rogue AI from the Old net into that girl's body
Like the one special forces guy with the sandivistan is just going on a rampage cause his daughter
I was under the impression Max Tac was just cyber psychos that could function enough to be attack dogs ie eversors
Yeah that was a very bad idea.
It’s just all grouped into cyberpsochois cause no one cares
Some are
No there are people out there who are just like adam who are so dranged out of touch of being human that they are used to having augments
Max Tac is partially made up of reformed “cyberpsychos”
Now, Adam is a legit Psychopath, he didn't really have anywhere to fall when they installed all his stuff
Not clear how many but they take anyone who has effective combat cybernetics
Adam is just a high functioning psychopath
Its funny because I wouldn't mind cyberware to my limbs or my body, but I draw the line replacing my eyes, both eyes even, can't stand that. and that's one of two implants you get at the start of the game.
Oh there's that callback to the original trailer with that woman who went cyberpsycho with mantis blades. She's a max tac officer in the game
I think it was specifically mentioned that Adam was a monster before he got the implants
He was
He was kinda nuts then he got himself blown up
Arasaka basically gave him the only offer
Let us rebuild you and work for us or die
And they’ve kept upgrading him since and he follows orders
Yeah people who are naturally just good with dealing with their mental health usually last long with cybernetics no matter how much they install
the humanity stat
He also has other bodies which helps
I do say I love games like VTM or Cyberpunk Red where there's just a character that is a walking tpk Kaine or Adam etc. "You fight them, and you lose"
They need to do a Pre Episode 4 Star Wars RPG where Vader is that
I keep forgetting that David was a teenager.
Adam he's just so deranged that he doesn't even start being psychotic because he just accept who he is
He had a fling with the one Araska daughter
Michiko. and damn that was a lotta metal
Adam Smasher is pretty much the exact opposite. He just stack underflowed to become entirely immune
Easy to do when a kid has to commit crimes and start killing people on an early age to survive
Yah he had a skin suit where he was Elvis Presley. Fun bit of fluff
The tabletop lore gets weird
Skinny Johnny Bravo then
He’s got that fuckable piece of meat rizz
Also, Yorinbu is the good guy
Johnny Bravo.
ehh I pin him as an anti-hero
Yorinobu was basically trying to bring down the company down for a good cause yeah
Isn't his brain the only thing left
So they just keep it somewhere and like bluetooth it to a body
hes 98% bionic
It’s changed as time goes on
its very likely its just his brain and maybe frontal "face"
Now if Yorinobo bothered to tell anybody the plan instead of what went down in 2077
I wouldn’t be shocked if he comes back too tbh
yes
Arasaka 100 made copies of Adam
Good think I killed their immortality machine
yeah, Even out of game, I thought nah, that prison of souls has got to go
His cyberizz is unstoppable
Adam did say that at the end of edgerunner that david would be an interesting construct
It doesnt even make a perfect copy of you either
its fucked up
So i'm pretty sure they made multiple constructs of him
Yeah
His plan would have failed if he leaked that "I want to take down the company from the inside"
Although I think in this context he means more like
If David became as cybernetic as he is
That is also a fair point
But then again this is a universe where an implant can make you fast enough to basically slow time around you so personality cloning isn't that far of
my CP Red character is actually a Solo who works as like a sleeper agent for Yorinobu's Faction in Arasaka.
It’s Cyberpunk “You got moxie kid I’ll give you that.”
So which of the two is more fucked up?
Adam or the Arisaka daughter
I mean like, there are other land lines around right? It's not only the NUSA that can do espionage. Surely at some point he realized the person he pinned this whole thing on is alive and very much gonna do a revenge like. This is New Vegas all over again.
Adam
She’s fucked too
But Adam is jsut
Completely irredeemable
High Functioning Psychopath vs Open Psychopath
The guy is a complete and utter Fleshist
He gives a mechanicus a run for their money
But she doesn’t get off to killing people
Tbh, I kinda want CD Red to make the cyberpunk sequel first before the witcher sequel they're working on
that's me with every scav and Maelstrom goon I see. Like I stop driving and its ON SIGHT
Adam actually loves mass murdering and he does it a lot
He loves unnecessary collateral
Maelstrom are the worst, it makes sense Adam's mechanic is one
Literally part of his contract
Yeah
I think the orion project was said to be after?
Neat
Yah Adam got his missile launchers and is gonna use them
but they haven't specified what kind of game it will be?
It’s gona be in the style of 2077 prolly
Would be weird not to be
If it’s a crpg that would be funny as shit
Curious what city it’ll be or if it’ll be multiple
Orion would be a mostly original story then? Not that 2077 isn't but it has a bit of grounding in old lore
There's a lot of really good writing in cyberpunk 2077
Orion is still gona be connected tbh
Night City is obviously a pretty ideal spot but it is weird how like everyone special is there
I doubt it won’t be
Hey Adam, you know how in most cases it's a bad look if one of our agents levels half the city trying to stop a thief?
We're gonna hire you specifically to do that.
I mean I guess you could do Cyberpunk outside of Night City
Nah Adam said he'd rather die than be denied his collateral. Guy is a monster
Well you don’t call him in if you’re not ok with a lot of extra collateral
^
Isn't the uh... caravan start basically what that would look like?
Oh I know
Well the Nomad start is still mostly in and around Night City
Not that I'd neccessarily mind a Mad Max esc game
Tbh
The best start is Corpo or nomad
Streetkid blows lol
Like genuinely dogshit
Cyberpunk Mad Max would be pretty sick
It does suck how no matter what you basically end up street kid
King of Wands goes so well with Nomad V
But corpo was the most interesting for me
I don’t mind that as much as the intro for streetkid just sucking lol
Yeah
All the starting backgrounds just wind up being Street kid anyway.
that's pretty much the entire middle of the NUSA, your chances of surviving is better in NC than living in the Badlands. Roaming warlord gangs, Raffen Shiv. who knows what else is prowling in that wasteland
Streetkid is lame + you share no real connection with Jackie
I outa reinstall the game and do a corpo run at some point, maybe Gorilla arms melee stuff
Lol
I kinda wish we had a cop start lifepath
Gorilla arms and Sandevestan. David build for revenge.
Oh Project Orion has a full dev team that split off from Poland, and they're in full production as of this January
I need more dystopian future depression. Pls
Is Detroit become human good?
Katana/Sandevistan, love being a literal Cyber Samurai
fuck no
Hahahahaha
Absolute dogshit
All I know is the VA for Mr.Krabs was in it
The android rights thing isn’t related to black rights mother fucker you put multiple MLK quotes in
I still can't believe I did all the boxing stuff with un-augmented arms
Imagine a tech nerd wins a fist fight against an MMA Heavyweight champ lmao
same. just had to do a lot of dodging
Simply don’t get hit
Mfw people keep slapping any civil rights thing ever into the gay/black rights box when it makes no fucking sense
Looking at you Marvel
"Androids aren't human though and the events of the game sort of justifies their treatment. What was David Cage trying to say here?"
David cage is the worst because he says it’s not the same
And then directly quotes
MLK
It’s so cringe
I always choose to not take the easy money and take it like a punk ass. Sorry coach, but not everything is about the eddies
Like 4 to 5 separate fucking times
Like oh my god lol
David Cage is just shit at writing
Tbh
It’s insane
Wait, David Cage said it wasn't a civil rights allegory?
