thats phosphor

It was super dangerous for everyone involved

Phosphex honestly was going to fall out of favor anyways
its far too damaging
the fallout from it is worse then radioactive weaponry

It might be good for tyranids idk. Once a planet gets invaded its all or nothing anyhow

they cant adapt to straight up death
it would be perfect for literally every xeno that has a bullshit attrition mechanic

the infected in L4D are basically still alive people under the effect of essentially a rage virus that is dubbed the Green Flu, in their case the infection has no "base" state, sometimes it spreads through scratches, is airborne, bodiyl fluids and sometimes it doesnt, its state essentially changes randomly
idk how this relates to the Tyranids though since they literally just adapt

Tech-thralls were commonly created from captured prisoners and criminals requisitioned from local authorities. Considered a lower order of being than even servitors by their masters, the ultimate fate of most Tech-thralls was to end their lives recycled into servitor components and their implants harvested for use in future thralls as their bodies failed under the relentless toil to which they were subjected.

when it comes to BMI you'd be surprised how much progress was made since the 1980's but it went nowhere simply because there wasn't enough market value in it. it's genuinely infuriating when you look at the shit some random scientists managed to do with little funding but never got anywhere further because they couldn't receive any grants. it's only when rich people are starting to see futur benefits of it that it started gaining traction.

I think on a basic level you could call it that
Honestly I do want a side game in the Cyberpunk series where you play as a netrunner
Like actually exploring cyberspace
Since it's a different world
Like not as "huge" as cyberpunk 2077 but still fun
With endings depending on how long you spent in cyberspace, the actions in and out, etc.
Basically just a more traditional linear spinoff
Or maybe a Roguelike dungeon crawler
It'd be fun regardless
Also, one final thing
I just realized that touching grass is impossible in night city
Like literally I can't find grass
The city is built in a desert ffs
Summers in Cyberpunk must be hell tho
Imagine the temperatures. Especially since Global Warming is DEFINITELY worse in their universe
Night City must be like Texas
Basically, fucking melting in the summer
Freezing in the winter
Ozone Hole probably got bigger instead of being repaired

It is fascinating how Adam actually respected him enough to ask him if he wanted to turn into a construct or not
And respected his answer, shooting him in the head so that he couldn't be turned into one

Reminds me of a heavy weight wrestler I was following for the Olympics, he was the US mens heavyweight. Went to a school near me, insane record in high school, won state three times, third in state his freshmen year, dominated in college, tangled with another heavyweight who had previously won Olympic gold, had competed internationally.
Got knocked out first round in the Olympics 2-11
He’s pretty young so I have hopes he’ll do better next time but man
Its so insane how much these guys train and obsess over the sport and how dominate they are

Yeah like the only non-positive stance you can take is "i dont care" imo, the custodians are literally the sub-faction of sub-factions, this has quite literally no big bearing on the lore
Nobody would be essentially giving a shit if this wasnt transhuman women in power armor more or less

I'm just impressed the Vox Officer had the stones to go against her orders from Calladayce when Vigilant Flame's crew was obeying it, even when they had their doubts.
