Yeah Cyberpsychosis
#40k-lore-chat
dusk patrol
Max Tac are having fun at least
opaque coyote
There is no definitive answer to what causes it
It's a multitude of factors
Sure overabundance of cyberware can cause it
Chipping in too quickly with any pain meds
But it's also caused by mental stress
arctic talon
Is there ever a reason given as to why there’s like so few full borg conversions in 2077
Or is this just suspension of disbelief moment
opaque coyote
There is a note in the game where some guy theories that Cyberpsychosis isn't caused by cybernetics. Instead it's mainly caused by the stress of just
Living in the Cyberpunk world
opaque coyote
Is there ever a reason given as to why there’s like so few full borg conversions...
The mind can't take it, quickly goes insane, and has to be put down or deactivated
storm jungle
That is arguably canon
It pretty much is canon, Pondsmith was very much overseeing most stuff in the game, lore tidbits especially.
Also stars in the game as that conspiracy radioshow host
opaque coyote
Yeah
There are some things that actually somewhat counter this.
Some cyberpsychos go insane by just having too much cyberware jammed into them at once
arctic talon
I’m aware
storm jungle
the truth about cyberpsychosis just gets buried in-universe because it would make people stop buying bionics
opaque coyote
But that could just be the stress of the body
arctic talon
I’m just saying it’s weird there’s a lack of full borgs in 2077
storm jungle
I’m just saying it’s weird there’s a lack of full borgs in 2077
Skill issue 
celest dome
There are some things that actually somewhat counter this.
Some cyberpsychos go...
Having multiple high intensity operation at once would lead ot extreme stress
arctic talon
Yeah
opaque coyote
I’m just saying it’s weird there’s a lack of full borgs in 2077
Tbh any sane ripper doc probably will be like
"Fuck no. That's your limit."
opaque coyote
Ah
arctic talon
Not mercs
opaque coyote
They don't want their employees going insane.
Bad for business.
Also it's the city
arctic talon
Okay but traumateam had full borgs
celest dome
Tbh any sane ripper doc probably will be like
"Fuck no. That's your limit."
'But if you pay...'
arctic talon
In RED
opaque coyote
Okay but traumateam had full borgs
They probably do have a bunch of Borgs in wars
dusk patrol
Tbh any sane ripper doc probably will be like
"Fuck no. That's your limit."
Sane
Ripper doc
Pick one
opaque coyote
>Sane
>Ripper doc
Vik
opaque coyote
He's a bro tho
The best bro
My main ripperdoc tbh
Always teleport to him for cybernetics
dusk patrol
Maybe if he sold those Rilla arms
opaque coyote
In RED
Tbh isn't the time of RED like
Extreme
Like the sky was red due to a nuke going off
storm jungle
Well yeah
opaque coyote
Courtesy of Silver hand and the gang
storm jungle
im sure they meant well
dusk patrol
being friends with a woman tends to do that to guys
Tfw he’s been inside V more than River ever gets to
storm jungle
BRUH
opaque coyote
The cutscene of Johnny's ""memory"" is actually pretty funny in retrospect
dusk patrol
Yeah it’s basically his fanfic
arctic talon
Tbh isn't the time of RED like
RED was less violent and corporations are weaker then 2020 story wise
opaque coyote
Considering what actually happened is that Johnny literally got merc'd like 5 seconds into his job
storm jungle
The cutscene of Johnny's ""memory"" is actually pretty funny in retrospect
"You killed my husband, he was in the tower"
Good, you're next bitch
opaque coyote
But also it is unironically cool
storm jungle
its still a shithole
I mean, America
opaque coyote
Which yes it is his fanfic
But God damn did he make that memory fun
I love spinning that malorian around
storm jungle
the track helps
dusk patrol
I mean, America
SEND HER TO….Detroit
opaque coyote
the track helps
Fuck yeah
storm jungle
**SEND HER TO….Detroit**
opaque coyote
**SEND HER TO….Detroit**
You know the worst part is that Detroit is probably better than Night City is
dusk patrol
Is Detroit in Cyberpunk?
arctic talon
yes
opaque coyote
I think most cities still exist yeah
arctic talon
its like
dusk patrol
Be funny if it was a paradise
snow fern
So is all of NUSA a desert or is Night City in Nevada or something
dusk patrol
Boo
arctic talon
Night city is in california
storm jungle
"yeah im not dealing with that"
celest dome
Tbf I'd have done the same
opaque coyote
the most dangerous place in the NUSA
Yeah but tbf
Night City isn't on that list purely because it's a weird independent city state
storm jungle
lol
dusk patrol
On second thought let’s not write about the Middle East
opaque coyote
If it was part of the NUSA
storm jungle
Tbf I'd have done the same
You got my thumbs up approval as a muslim lol
arctic talon
Night city is special
dusk patrol
Tis a silly place
arctic talon
its its own snowflake
snow fern
Maybe westerns shouldn't write on the middle east
opaque coyote
its its own snowflake
...a snowflake that's dirter than a sewer yeah
snow fern
Cyber spiders
snow fern
Like Horizon Zero Dawn but actually scary
opaque coyote
Gorilla Legs
Imagine a Kangaroo kicking somebody
And they just immediately turn into a red paste
snow fern
They do that already, it sucks
snow fern
Cyber Cassowary
opaque coyote
australia is really nice
But yeah Australia being a nice place to live is funny
opaque coyote
Arasaka moment
arctic talon
but its still generally not too bad
opaque coyote
Knight themed
opaque coyote
Honestly I'm just disappointed that there's only katanas as the viable sword
opaque coyote
That's why I want to make an OC that basically wields a fucking claymore
Why
Cause it's cool
opaque coyote
Actually you think blacksmiths are now back on the menu for Cyberpunk
arctic talon
Yes probably
opaque coyote
Like some people would want custom weapons
arctic talon
If only for mercs to get their hands on untraceable melee weapons
opaque coyote
Fantastic, Cyberswords are on the menu
arctic talon
Sanding off serial numbers and removing things is too hard
Smh
Let’s just talk to someone who can make me a sword that can kill someone with implants
opaque coyote
Yeah I could definitely imagine a couple of ""smaller"" corpos that exclusively make melee weapons
"Bat too shitty? Have a bat with a rocket attached to it"
arctic talon
Militech makes combat knives
A lot of combat knives
So much so they have a magazine for them in RED
opaque coyote
Militech makes combat knives
Oh yeah and also Budget Arms
My favorite fucking corporation tbh
arctic talon
It’s never specified what’s in the magazine
arctic talon
But I would like to imagine it’s just a bunch of advertisement
opaque coyote
Like the Slaught O matic
arctic talon
Budget arms is hilarious
snow fern
I imagine daggers and like clubs/maces would be ideal, gotta punch that armor
arctic talon
I’m sad my favorite budget arms weapon from RED isn’t in 2077
It’s a triple barreled single use rocket launcher
opaque coyote
I imagine daggers and like clubs/maces would be ideal, gotta punch that armor
I mean yeah I think clubs are popular with militech
opaque coyote
It’s a triple barreled single use rocket launcher
That sounds like something an Ork would make
Give me 10
arctic talon
It’s also the single most expensive budget arms weapon ever
But it’s like incredibly cheap for a rocket launcher
Lol
And it comes with ammo!!!!
opaque coyote
I think Budget Arms also sells a flamethrower?
arctic talon
They do
snow fern
Why does a single use weapon come with ammo?
arctic talon
But you can’t get it
arctic talon
Why does a single use weapon come with ammo?
It’s for the value™️ budget arms is the common man’s gun company
All budget arms weapons come preloaded
opaque coyote
Why does a single use weapon come with ammo?
The same reason why the Germans made a single use flamethrower.
Yes the Nazis actually did that
arctic talon
On a less fun note Budget arms weapons are also the most commonly used guns for domestic violence
snow fern
God I wish I had a good ramen place around here
arctic talon
opaque coyote
"Hey you wanna know what would be good to conserve resources!"
arctic talon
this ramen slaps
Nice
opaque coyote
"A FUCKING SINGLE USE FLAMETHROWER"
Yeah it's not like Nazi Germany had a lack of Oil
It's not like it was their
#1 problem
arctic talon
Budget arms is such a funny corporation in universe
opaque coyote
arctic talon
Other corporations hate them
opaque coyote
Budget arms is such a funny corporation in universe
It also makes sense
Since like
arctic talon
Because they can’t exploit poor people as easily
opaque coyote
Of course they'd go for the cheap market
arctic talon
Budget arms weapons are also really good for like
arctic talon
Scratching off the serial numbers
shell mason
i could die
arctic talon
also made it myself
Nice!!! That’s hard to do
opaque coyote
Budget arms weapons are also really good for like
The Carnage is also one of their few decent weapons even outside of being cheap
Guts can attest
opaque coyote
You can fucking rocket jump with it
arctic talon
Along with shit ones
We don’t get any of their really terrible guns in 2077
Aside from the slaught-o matic
opaque coyote
Along with shit ones
Fun fact
With the Slaught O Matic vending machines
arctic talon
Which is a shame
opaque coyote
You can sometimes get an empty one
arctic talon
LOL
opaque coyote
So you pick it up
arctic talon
That’s really funny
arctic talon
Oh did you know the warrantee doesn’t cover the entire magazine
opaque coyote
Which also like
Why the fuck would you want a warranty for a gun that you
Throw away
opaque coyote
LMAO
arctic talon
Some of the budget arms guns could do that
In RED and 2020
If you don’t maintain them
opaque coyote
All of Cyberpunk's guns are weird
A lot are impractical and all of them use a different bolt system
Which both makes sense
arctic talon
I think that’s the point for different bolt systems
opaque coyote
And is also incredibly annoying
paper haven
Pew pew
arctic talon
Trying to trap them in the eco system
Lol
Only use Arasaka magazines for this specific gun
shell mason
Nice!!! That’s hard to do
I like cooking
arctic talon
So do I
shell mason
and its good for my hangover
opaque coyote
Trying to trap them in the eco system
Yeah basically "The Right to Repair" is even more dead than in our universe
arctic talon
Cooking is fun
arctic talon
Yeah basically "The Right to Repair" is even more dead than in our universe
The right to repair is this hacksaw and subdermal implant replacement I have
shell mason
made a calzone from scratch
arctic talon
arctic talon
made a calzone from scratch
Nice
shell mason
doe included
opaque coyote
Only use Arasaka magazines for this specific gun
I think the only decent one is Malorian
Which makes consistent masterpieces
opaque coyote
Problem is that they do it like once every decade so they're on the decline
opaque coyote
Malorian is still evil they’re just like
They're a corpo.
arctic talon
It causes cyber psychosis
like in universe
Picking it up and using it causes cyberpsychosis
opaque coyote
Also johnnys gun is like
Tbf he specifically requested a gun that can shoot through a tank
While also being a pistol
paper haven
It's a gun that does both physical and mental damage. Nice
paper haven
Too late, already hate it.
arctic talon
Tbf he specifically requested a gun that can shoot through a tank
While also be...
its also mentally connected to the user
Which cannot help with it lol
arctic talon
Oh yeah also Erebus
I love the blackwall
opaque coyote
Too late, already hate it.
Basically it's a gun with an AI from the Blackwall
Once you shoot someone with it, it literally hacks into their nervous system
opaque coyote
And directly fires up their pain centers
Like no matter what armor you have. You will experience excruciating agony
paper haven
Basically it's a gun with an AI from the Blackwall
Oh. oh god.
opaque coyote
Oh. oh god.
Also to maximize it's effectiveness
opaque coyote
It shoots like a shotgun
But not the video game type
Like a real shotgun
But instead of pellets
It uses bullets
It's a war crime gun
opaque coyote
The very design is a war crime against gun design itself
opaque coyote
it looks so fucking weird
Bro the iron sights are on its side
You're supposed to wield it like somebody from the hood
arctic talon
do you want to take mental damage?
its made by midnight arms
and one of their shotguns in RED is fucking hideous lol
snow fern
That is a brick with a stock taped on
opaque coyote
its made by midnight arms
Tbh Midnight Arms and BARGHEST are basically mad gun scientists
BARGHEST decided to look at the Slaught O matic
And made it into a viable pistol
arctic talon
BARGHEST are a bunch of mercenaries anyways tbf
or a militia I guess?
a miltia is more accurate
they'll take what they can get for their guns ngl
opaque coyote
opaque coyote
Fair
opaque coyote
Yeah the weirdest part is how they turned the SLAUGHT O MATIC
Into a reliable weapon
"The ideal compromise between quality and price - a weapon that won't fail during a firefight, nor drain your wallet. Its short, compact barrel allows you to fire a quick and deadly salvo from the hip, while the long magazine lends the gun a balanced feel. With the HA-4 Grit, you can confidently leap into action."
Actually
They just made a Glock
I just fucking realized that
The HA-4 grit is basically a Glock with a different shape
arctic talon
LOL
arctic talon
in 2077? they should still be around
opaque coyote
Like again
The glock
arctic talon
why we don't get the gameplay wise
holy shit
there's way too many
there's so many fucking guns
opaque coyote
there's way too many
Lemme guess
arctic talon
in RED, 2020 ect.
opaque coyote
Uh
arctic talon
most corporations had like 4 or 5 different guns at least
opaque coyote
Project Red didn't want to sign for like
arctic talon
along with irl guns
opaque coyote
Gun rights
arctic talon
I'm not surprised about that either
arctic talon
No traumateam fullborg in 2077, why even live
arctic talon
And also wanted to see the unique designs of cyberpunk guns
yeah I think they wanted to show off new guns
opaque coyote
I'm not surprised about that either
I mean the Shigure is a ump45 with added shit on it
arctic talon
thats why there's pretty much 0 existing in universe weapons, its almost all post 2045 equipment
opaque coyote
I think it's just "show off new" and
opaque coyote
thats why there's pretty much 0 existing in universe weapons, its almost all pos...
Yeah kinda disappointing since I saw some older corpo weapons
arctic talon
Everything else is brand new
arctic talon
There's a lot of stuff from the TTRPG
I'm sad wasn't in 2077
humanity stat, weirder cyberware, full borgs being somewhat common for corporate stuff
opaque coyote
Maybe they'll add it in the sequel
arctic talon
yeah
opaque coyote
humanity stat, weirder cyberware, full borgs being somewhat common for corporate...
Yeah kinda disappointed we couldn't make V just
A full borg
arctic talon
tbf
it might be a Vik doesn't have the equipment for it
none of the ripper docs ingame seem to have the equipment for it
opaque coyote
Yeah fair
arctic talon
I also think CDPR didn't want to redo all the "classic" full borg conversion kits
opaque coyote
I mean David's Sandy was considered to be god tier
arctic talon
for the game
opaque coyote
But like Adam said
arctic talon
A RUIDMENTRY IMPLANT
opaque coyote
For most military men
arctic talon
I think the lack of militrization in the corporations is weird
because they're more militarized as depicted in Red
which is supposed to be the point in time they're least militarized lol
snow fern
Shoulda been more borgs when dealing with Arasaka
Like assassins that look like neon Oni or something
arctic talon
militech should have had borgs out the ass
when they got involved
they literally make like 5 different conversion kits
opaque coyote
I think the lack of militrization in the corporations is weird
They probably toned it down since I think canonically 2077 is more "peaceful" than the Red Times
arctic talon
that makes sense
opaque coyote
Also y'know insanity
snow fern
I suppose trying not to stir shit after a nuclear war between corps is a good idea
arctic talon
I mean thats like 57 years in the past
opaque coyote
If there are two side games I want in the Cyberpunk verse it would be this:
A) One that takes place during the time of red
snow fern
I mean a ton of people in 77 were around then
arctic talon
yeah
opaque coyote
B) A game that takes place in cyberspace
arctic talon
but also they were more aggressively militarized during RED
is my point
which was like 3 years after a fucking nuke went off
snow fern
All this talk of Cyberpunk is making me realize I actually just want Systemshock 3
arctic talon
Militech shat out like
opaque coyote
which was like 3 years after a fucking nuke went off
That's probably why they had more Borgs.
To deal with the radiation
arctic talon
true
opaque coyote
All this talk of Cyberpunk is making me realize I actually just want Systemshock...
REAL
I played the System Shock Remake
Pretty fun
arctic talon
Militech shat out like 2 new full conversion kits in like 5 years lol
snow fern
it's so good
opaque coyote
Very confusing tho
arctic talon
along with updating another 3
arctic talon
All this talk of Cyberpunk is making me realize I actually just want Systemshock...
systemshock good
opaque coyote
it's so good
Yeah I wanna buy system shock 2 but night dive is working on making a remaster that also includes fan mods
arctic talon
also some fullborg conversion kits aren't even that extensive tbh
opaque coyote
So I'm waiting for that
arctic talon
some are only like a humanity loss of a bit under 20
opaque coyote
also some fullborg conversion kits aren't even that extensive tbh
Honestly I wanna make a Borg Knight that also acts like Don Quixote
Because he's full delulu due to Cyberpsychosis
snow fern
Yeah I wanna buy system shock 2 but night dive is working on making a remaster t...
The space wizard in 2 is neat
arctic talon
that would be fun
opaque coyote
Basically he uses a crossbow as his side weapon
shell mason
No traumateam fullborg in 2077, why even live
opaque coyote
Of course cybered up
arctic talon
a joke by 2077 so I guess it makes sense lol
snow fern
Are bows in Cyberpunk like, Crysis bow?
arctic talon
yes
opaque coyote
No
arctic talon
there's bows in Cyberpunk RED
arctic talon
They're fun
shell mason
yee
opaque coyote
theres ones designed for full borgs
Fuck yeah I am gonna use that
snow fern
Oh god imagine the draw weight on that
opaque coyote
That sounds awesome
arctic talon
you get an AT weapon
shell mason
hell my actual pfp is my cyberpunk character
snow fern
Could pierce concrete with it
arctic talon
opaque coyote
Oh god imagine the draw weight on that
Gonna need gorilla arms to even draw it once
arctic talon
hell my actual pfp is my cyberpunk character
goes hard
I think my only complaint about Cyberpunk Red
opaque coyote
Could pierce concrete with it
Bows with the right arrows can unironically punch through Riot shields
arctic talon
is that none of the arasaka fullborg conversion kits
are purchasable or usable by players
shell mason
Nooooo
arctic talon
opaque coyote
I think my only complaint about Cyberpunk Red
Again
Really would like a Cyberpunk Red videogame
opaque coyote
But then again they'd probably have to remove some of the complexity
arctic talon
YOU CAN GIVE US ARASAKA STUFF
opaque coyote
Cause y'know converting TTRPG to a video game is hard
snow fern
Was Cyberpunk made around the same time Japan was taking over industry? Like how in Alien all signs are in English and Japanese?
arctic talon
The Eclipse is something that Militech doesn't even publically aknowledge as being real
opaque coyote
Actually I got a cursed idea
arctic talon
cyberpunk was made when Japan was at its economic peak
opaque coyote
Cyberpunk Gacha game
shell mason
Actually I got a cursed idea
speak
opaque coyote
shell mason
Cyberpunk Gacha game
ew
arctic talon
and people thought Japan would take over the world
arctic talon
so it was made both in a mocking tone of that
opaque coyote
Would also be heavily ironic
arctic talon
- what would the world look like if it was a corporate shithole
snow fern
I think that's a yes to my question, the 70s or whatever is a little old away for me
arctic talon
these are the same characters apparently
What did 2077 do to poor Shaiten man
he didn't deserve this
opaque coyote
so it was made both in a mocking tone of that
Oh yeah also Yorinubou is surprisingly chill
shell mason
these are the same characters apparently <:smarf:966438427866304512>
who dat
arctic talon
Yorninobu is the hero of another story
opaque coyote
Yorninobu is the hero of another story
Yeah it's surprising how they made a corpo son a not complete shit hole for once
Emphasis on not complete
arctic talon
who dat
only fullborg merc whos noted as being somewhat heroic
has a burning hatred for Arasaka
arctic talon
dies like 5 seconds into Johnny's "memory"
opaque coyote
dies like 5 seconds into Johnny's "memory"
Tbf it is Johnny's memory
shell mason
ooooh
opaque coyote
He made himself look as badass as possible
arctic talon
He literally jumps on Smasher after Smasher kills Silverhand
and tries to kill Smasher
he uh gets an arm torn off and thrown out the window
He did live to be fair
but still LOL
shell mason
only thing I know is that my carnage build pre rework was insane
snow fern
Yah we gotta remember Johnny aint a reliable narrator
arctic talon
he's like slightly smaller then Smashers 2045 model
I just wish he didn't look like a dork in 2077 lol
shell mason
reloaded faster than a Nam veteran
opaque coyote
Shaiten is a Stealth focused fullborg
Unfortunately stealth is not good against somebody like Smasher
arctic talon
Yeah
he did disable smashers integrated weapons but
its still smasher
Smasher kind of beat the shit out of him after Shaiten got the jump
opaque coyote
**its still smasher**
It's wild that V canonically defeated him
Though tbf he probably has a upload to other bodies
arctic talon
https://tenor.com/view/rebecca-cyber-punk-edgerunners-reload-gif-26731871
Pilar and Rebecca both doing something similar is hilarious
opaque coyote
Pilar and Rebecca both doing something similar is hilarious
Also kinda sad
snow fern
Man I can't believe we got Lucy over Rebecca or David
arctic talon
Though tbf he probably has a upload to other bodies
there's a theory he's an engram in 2077
not even a biopod anymore
shell mason
It's wild that V canonically defeated him
with a d i l d o in some cases
opaque coyote
Heavily coping for Rebecca to an engram.
Although tbf
She probably won't like it so nvm
shell mason
Ngl I'd assume Smasher was getting fucked with by Alt
huh?
opaque coyote
Especially since part of her brains are gone
snow fern
Smasher knows about engrams yah, mentioned in Edgerunners? Maybe he's one
shell mason
During the fight with him in 2077
oh yeah, soul killer
arctic talon
Alt hacks into arasaka tower security systems
opaque coyote
But people in cyberpunk are surprisingly durable
Many people I left alive had their brains exposed
I mean they'll probably die soon
arctic talon
Yeah
opaque coyote
But hey
arctic talon
what subdermal armor does to amother fucker
tbf
we never kill Smashers biopod in 2077
shell mason
I mean
shell mason
Smasher sees you in the first part
snow fern
I don't recall him exploding
opaque coyote
what subdermal armor does to amother fucker
Yeah it's why I'm coping for Rebecca to be an engram
arctic talon
Smasher sees you in the first part
yeah that also
shell mason
when your in the tower
arctic talon
I don't recall him exploding
then his biopod is fine
snow fern
Yah the red aura thing I recall
opaque coyote
does he explode?
I think it depends?
arctic talon
Also isn't smasher working for Yorinobu specifically
shell mason
which is wild to think of
arctic talon
either way they can always say he's still alive
and that his biopod somehow survived
arctic talon
real
shell mason
either way they can always say he's still alive
hes literally a brain in a case
opaque coyote
Which has got to be insulting for him
arctic talon
a reminder that Smasher canonically likes hardrock cafe
arctic talon
I like how this is a riff on the classic Smasher "mugshot"
in Cyberpunk RED for fullbody conversions
its an updated version of the Samson
opaque coyote
a reminder that Smasher canonically likes hardrock cafe
It's weird to remember that Smasher is a human being.
A human being that's only 1% organic and is a complete psychopath
But still a human being
snow fern
The frown is funny
arctic talon
Smasher still does have some humanity in him
shell mason
has so much chrome on him, he can run a look at yt just by thinking
arctic talon
despite his stats saying otherwise lol
arctic talon
I think it’s funny he likes Hard Rock Cafe
snow fern
Yah, the AI in Cyberpunk are uh, frankly terrifying
arctic talon
snow fern
The Voodoo Boys are straight up insane, thinking about going across the Blackwall
opaque coyote
Smasher still does have some humanity in him
Yeah it's kinda like how Ted Bundy had a step daughter
Apparently she loved him as a child and he was apparently like the father figure she never had
Which is weird considering it's TED FUCKING BUNDY
arctic talon
snow fern
I do like Phantom Liberty shows how bad of an idea it is to mess with the Blackwall
arctic talon
The Voodoo Boys are straight up insane, thinking about going across the Blackwal...
Fun fact Hong Kong has peacfulish AI
shell mason
shout out to rhinos gym
arctic talon
it’s also a terrible place to live but it’s like
Got AI living in it
That don’t want to turn your brain to mush
opaque coyote
Got AI living in it
"Damn bro you live like this?"
snow fern
That's a step up
opaque coyote
"I don't even wanna kill you anymore"
arctic talon
They’ll just turn your brain to mush if you try to hurt them
opaque coyote
I don’t blame them
Considering that most people are paranoid towards AI
For good reason
But still
snow fern
The AI deeply enjoy Castle Doctrine
shell mason
what does that even mean
snow fern
AI destroyed the internet, among other things, the world doesn't have an once of trust in them
shell mason
Is it like the taxi that had multiple different AIs?
opaque coyote
Hong Kong is like
Also on one last note.
I kinda wished that Erebus and Silverhand talked to each other. If only because of the comedic potential of the copy of an asshole talking to a murderous, homicidal AI
arctic talon
Is it like the taxi that had multiple different AIs?
Yes
Delamain is on thin ice though
opaque coyote
Delamain is on thin ice though
Also BEEP BEEP MOTHERFUCKER
shell mason
Delamain is on thin ice though
how?
snow fern
Yah nobody noticed the Taxi buying out the company that owned him
arctic talon
The AI in Hong Kong is from the like
opaque coyote
He just developed into it
Delamain is pretty chill tbh
snow fern
Course if you ascend Delamain, who knows
arctic talon
Aka AI’s you want on the other side of the blackwall
opaque coyote
Got a question for y'all
What did you do with Delamain
Fused his sons into him
Just let them go
Etc.
snow fern
I passed the skill check to ascend him
Not sure it was a good idea, but V won't live long enough to find out
arctic talon
What did you do with Delamain
I ascended him
opaque coyote
Not sure it was a good idea, but V won't live long enough to find out
Eh considering it was a human that did it and he's still friendly towards us
arctic talon
Because I think it would be funny to make another rogue AI
opaque coyote
Or at least won't want genocide
arctic talon
He left to go be with his kind
plush mason
Is it like the taxi that had multiple different AIs?
i still never got any cake
arctic talon
And learn from them
shell mason
Aka AI’s you want on the other side of the blackwall
oooh
opaque coyote
He left to go be with his kind
THIS IS HOW YOU MURDER A HUMAN IN 294292 DIFFERENT WAYS
"I don't think I want to talk to you anymore"
shell mason
i still never got any cake
L
arctic talon
Alt is an example of another friendly Rogue "AI"
opaque coyote
SHIT UPPP
opaque coyote
Alt is an example of another friendly Rogue "AI"
Tbf Alt is based on a human
arctic talon
She isn't really a proper AI but she might as well be one
opaque coyote
So that's probably why she's friendly
arctic talon
there's a lot of people who got soulkilled
snow fern
Is Alt AI or just a copied conscience
arctic talon
in universe tbf
opaque coyote
Is Alt AI or just a copied conscience
Both
arctic talon
She's a soulkilled netrunner so both
shell mason
She isn't really a proper AI but she might as well be one
well yeah
opaque coyote
there's a lot of people who got soulkilled
Rebecca AI
Pls
Pls
Please
I'm begging
shell mason
soul killer is a industry kill switch
plush mason
Is Alt AI or just a copied conscience
i dont think Silverhand was kidding when he called her a god
arctic talon
I mean
shell mason
plug em in
arctic talon
she pretty much created the AI civlization in Hong Kong
shell mason
kill the brain
arctic talon
so in a sense yeah
opaque coyote
Also our Silverhand became much less of an asshole than
The actual Silverhand
Well depending on your path
arctic talon
our silverhand ended up not being a horrid person
assuming you make him self reflect
shell mason
even the body in a run down hotel and let it rot
opaque coyote
our silverhand ended up not being a horrid person
Yeah it's genuinely saddening when you chose the ending to give up your body
plush mason
wasnt the living Silverhand nothing but a POS?
shell mason
hell inject drug in them so the cops just think its a od
opaque coyote
"I already died a long time ago. You can find a way"
arctic talon
wasnt the living Silverhand nothing but a POS?
yes
tbh
Living beyond the blackwall isn't too horrible as an AI
arctic talon
specifcally as an AI
you do not want to be a human
beyond the blackwall mentally
that is how you die horribly and painfully
opaque coyote
you do not want to be a human
Lucy can attest to that
green loom
Which makes the AI Silverhand much more awesome by proxy tbh
I think it's mentioned in game that you're having the same effect on him that he's having on you
shell mason
sometimes
arctic talon
Any netrunner who’s been beyond the blackwall is traumatized for life at best
plush mason
the fact we never got a proper follow up to her death is still disappointing to me
arctic talon
Oh that also huh
shell mason
the fact we never got a proper follow up to her death is still disappointing to ...
I mean we got told how she died
arctic talon
I’ve never thought about that trailer a to
shell mason
I’ve never thought about that trailer a to
ah
arctic talon
I wonder if she got soul killed lol
plush mason
I mean we got told how she died
i know but we got to attend a memorial for Jackie
arctic talon
Tbf T-Bug seems like a very private person
shell mason
I wonder if she got soul killed lol
no
plush mason
she was but there should have been a little something
shell mason
her nervous system just got fried
plush mason
I wonder if she got soul killed lol
Arasaka sec just burns her brain out iirc
arctic talon
Ah the classic
shell mason
Yea
shell mason
was told it was extremely painful
arctic talon
Alt is confirmed to be soul killed in rpg sourcebooks
Johnny also killed her body but that’s besides the point
shell mason
like your body getting stabbed with a thousand knives at once
dusk patrol
Idk I feel like after the first 70 it kinda becomes all the same
arctic talon
LOL
dusk patrol
What are you gonna do, stab me 930 more times?
plush mason
T-bug's fate is prime example of why netrunners are so paranoid
dusk patrol
Well tbf
opaque coyote
Any netrunner who’s been beyond the blackwall is traumatized for life at best
Again Lucy moment
dusk patrol
She was going after the highest level Arasaka stuff
arctic talon
^
dusk patrol
Idk if she was paranoid enough lol
plush mason
clearly not
dusk patrol
If she was she wouldn’t have trusted a dumbass like Dex
opaque coyote
Idk if she was paranoid enough lol
Also apparently there was cut content where she actually exfiled
arctic talon
Like Jackie
plush mason
did Dex even know what he was really pinching?
opaque coyote
So she got melted instead
dusk patrol
Yeah she was supposed to be the one who turned on you
arctic talon
did Dex even know what he was really pinching?
Yes
opaque coyote
did Dex even know what he was really pinching?
yeah and he wanted to escape
Like the bitch he is
dusk patrol
He wanted to go to space
dusk patrol
He was an idiot that thought he could somehow go after the ivory tower and survive
shell mason
She got blinded by greed
she was focused on getting out of night city
arctic talon
Yorinobu’s plan to collapse Arasaka lining up with the relic theft is hilarious
opaque coyote
He wanted to go to space
Yeah but unlike David and Lucy it was for a bitch reason
arctic talon
no i mean as in what was on the chip
No one knew what was on it
shell mason
cutting ties and living in greece on a beach
opaque coyote
Yorinobu’s plan to collapse Arasaka lining up with the relic theft is hilarious
Yeah tbf that was on a comedic level
snow fern
You had me at Mediterranean food
shell mason
I COULD KILL FOR A GYRO
opaque coyote
The worst
arctic talon
Yorinobu's plan to collapse Arasaka over 30 years in the making
being ruined by 2 mercs and a netrunner
shell mason
Thats life
plush mason
being ruined by 2 mercs and a netrunner
welcome to night city
shell mason
nothing truly goes according to plan
opaque coyote
Yorinobu's plan to collapse Arasaka over 30 years in the making

opaque coyote
I'm surprised Yorinubou didn't pretend that he just suffered a heart attack or something
shell mason
arasaka as a whole goes crazy
yeeyee
arctic talon
Saburo is healthier in 2077

shell mason
comedic
plush mason
he also wanted to destroy America

arctic talon
fought in ww2 so cant blame him
he was upset Japan didn't fight until it collapsed
dusk patrol
The Arasaka family were known to have surprisedly sparse augmentation
While their body guards are modded to high hell
arctic talon
he saw the US using nukes as them prooving they were more willing to win the war then Japan
💀
Saburo is kind of weird
dusk patrol
Basically didn’t want to “sully” themselves
shell mason
he was upset Japan didn't fight until it collapsed
ultranationalism at its finest
arctic talon
Basically didn’t want to “sully” themselves
not surprised tbh
dusk patrol
They basically see themselves as gods
arctic talon
oh yeah, bro blew that back OUT
she took backshots from Smasher
dusk patrol
And their men treat them like it
arctic talon
I cannot believe it
arctic talon
Do not ask about what corporation she was running
shell mason
she took backshots from Smasher
arctic talon
in 2045
shell mason
smasher went ape shit
dusk patrol
Ok but being real, how the fuck was anyone in the family not like “hey maybe the cyborg psychopath shouldn’t be fucking and dating the granddaughter of one of the most powerful man in the world”
arctic talon

shell mason

@crystal forum
dusk patrol
On the bright side though I guess as long as Adam didn’t go insane she was pretty safe on her escapades with him lol
shell mason
we need your sagely wisdom
snow fern
Why does she not get cat girl ears?
arctic talon
she doesn't want them ig
shell mason
She ain't a real one
dusk patrol
Typically Arasaka arrogance
