if you say vexillologist one more time i'm shoving your favorite flag up my ass
he suffers from a very sexy learning disability
I would agree. They don't convey the same meaning as they meant to. It's meant to unmistakably identify which troop you belong to. And that's pretty much it.
RETVRN
At least a few of those are still in use at a local level
I wouldn't recommend that, you really don't know where that flag has been.
Stalin Georgia or peaches Georgia
i was about to say
Can I get another hint?
eastern or western hemisphere?
How do you feel about George III?
it's mostly white people
Mostly or almost entirely?
From the authoritarian Georgia
Jokes on u now we’re married
apparently there's predictions that georgia will be minority white in august this year
which americans call minority majority
what a dumb fucking name
I will be a terrible husband
so the joke is on you
I am a terrible husband 🤝
Do sumptin nice to your spouse
Don’t worry I’ll try and manage 2 burn down the house or something in the process
reviewing Doom the Dark Ages arts and concepts
pretty cool stuff for the Night Sentinels and Argenta as a whole
This might be a hot take but I kinda hate the artstyle of the modern Doom games
It just feels oddly arbitrary, if that makes a lick of sense
Lmao the fucking demonic d-day landing boats on Pic 1
It is a significant detract from its initial start of the Series. But I’m glad ID Software is expanding to other styles. And I greatly enjoy the blend of Sci Fi and Medieval themes.
time to add these to my 40k folders
Dark Ages has actually gotten me back into writing a story I started on back in my senior year. I’ll add notes here and there for inspiration or reference but haven’t gotten back into adding into the draft
Do you know the tabletop game Infinity? Some similar aesthetics.
Can’t say that I have
def has those vibes
i look at those night sentinel armors and all i can think of is hell gate templar lol
Do the minis look like these for that Infinity tabletop?
Ya those are Panoceania
Yeah
It’s a great game btw. Lore is a bit sucky — was never really able to get into it. But it plays great.
I mean really great.
Like maybe the best tabletop ruleset
(but I still play 40K mostly haha)
Yeah I can always find a game
Plus the lore is way better.
40K skirmish with Infinity rules would be divine.
mfw of the 3 most popular wargames 2 of the 3 are owned by GW
Is Infinity fairly recent?
Wait wat is 3
battletech
nah its old as fuck
Oh no shit
Infinity is… it’s hard to describe playing it.
It’s like making an action movie
On the table
Looking on the website, these are some pretty cool factions. Definitely saving this as a reference
F to bolt action that game looked good
In my brief foray I mained Tunguska

Flames of war is doing better
but its skirmish scale
also bolt of action is lowkey expensive as shit
for how ugly/rough to put together the minis are
Yeah they don’t look very good do they
I mean the vehicles are nice
but I've seen worse infantry lol
especially for historicals
40K 10th honestly feels as good as any game I’ve played including Infinity, just in a different way.
I should give kill team another shake it’s just like… the games I’ve played have taken so long relative to the number of minis and what actually happened.
40k 10th is
very tightly designed
tbh
as much as I shit on it
I cannot say it is not designed very tightly
40K and Infinity so far best play experiences.
And Warcry but like that’s a different kind of game. Way simpler.
Is this where u tell me 2 enlist and be in a skirmish game 4 real
like 30-45 minutes
no
but this game is apparently made by former military personel
which could mean a lot of things
No I haven’t
LOL
Hmm
BLKOUT is a fast-paced tactical tabletop wargame. Command finely crafted 32mm scale miniatures on the battlefield and clinch victory in under 30 minutes. Each game is a test of cunning and tactical prowess. Immerse in a futuristic combat experience that's quick to play, quick to learn, hard to master!
….. ok this looks more appealing than I thought
But I just can’t sink a bunch of cash into something that’s prob short lived
yeah def lol
ARGENTA!?!
in the grim darkness of the far future, there is only... lesbian drama!!!
footage is from 40k Rogue Trader, music is from https://pixabay.com/music/solo-guitar-ambient-classical-guitar-144998/ by William King ^.^
i cant wait to see what kinda dialog and dynamic the new abitrator comp will bring
"I AM THE LAW, YOU ARE DOING ILLEGAL THINGS BY EXISTING!"
"Fuck you pig!"
Guarentee this is gonna be like half of it
i wonder how he will feel about the death cult
Oh also "I WISH I COULD KILL YOU BUT THE ROGUE TRADER IS ABOVE THE LAW!"
in fact i wonder how the arbities feel about death cults in general
true but surely they would want to keep an eye on them right?
in case they start like idk threatening the tithe shipments or something
that takes a lot
Tl;dr, when gangs start killing each other, that's not the Arbites' concern. As soon as a stray bullet or a missed rock throw hits a lex-abiding citizen on their way to work, they put their foot down
So the Arbites wouldn't have cared when the Cult was just going after the other gangers and Water Cartel
Arbites only ever start caring when its about the Tithe yeah.
petty crime is beneath them
the livelihood of citizens is also inconsequential
not always, the planet might have some psykers to ship and the cult finds them
or they kill a bunch of workers making things due to be collected
but yeah outside of stuff like that they would just ignore the cult
Also let me post some examples of what takes their notice regarding some high value criminals they go after for capture orders
What about if it affects the rich or powerful?
Nothing.
Its all about the Tithe.
Arbites will literall board Rogue Trader vessels if think something is up
This is straight up just clan mors type shit
the imperium is the skaven of 40k
it even have a council of 13 lol
So it’s only when something affects planetary outputs
Entirely yeah.
The best part is this can be do to any reason you can think of
for example me and my friend's rogue trader got hunted across 3 systems due to accidentally killing a administratum magistrate.

Literally just some nobody manager, but since he died, the production quota came to a halt, which created issues
(also caused a ship crash)
What about like planetary invasions and various other catastrophes that would affect the production quotas
Don’t they deal with corruption as well?
Well yeah when a planet is under invasion it cant pay its tithe scant it?
They do not care as long as it doesnt affect the tithe.
Corruption is nothing if planetary efficiency is underway
"one of the rogue trader's crewmen gave me a very dubious look at the docks yesterday, so ofc i had to board the ship and tear the hold apart to see what they where hiding" -arbitrator Mcbonebreak
Lmao yep
Why don’t we hear more about arbites being sent in to eviscerate xenos invasions
More important posterboys are there.

this is why you dont see scenes like this a lot
Also the arbites aren’t in like army wide force right?
They can be. Depends on the precint-fortress strenght.
They’re more for surgical operations yes?
Some precints are equipped to fight entire wars.
ARBITRATORS
STAND AND DIE PROTOCOL
And by surgical I mean “cut out the affected area”
See above.
What you are talking about is an Exaction Squad
whos job is to usually be a spec ops team that captures people for subjugation and "trial"
sometimes the arbites fortress is the only thing standing when reinforcements arrive to an invaded world
Just another “oh yeah they are really brutal and efficient”
You should read more about them
Soulshackle does a great job
their job is singular but very diverse in action
Like tbh I find the more micro of enforcers to be more interesting
Well yeah enforcers arent brainwashed nazi-cops lol
Maybe I’ll have to include arbites in my campaign
yeah they're just normal power abusing cops
hardworkers they are
love hitting homeless people
As ever, truth is stranger than fiction
see acorn incident
Though tbh they’d more than likely just shoot the party on sight (they include xenos) and they don’t give a shit about if said xenos have a rogue trader’s emblem on them
Yeah you'd need a good reason
The interrogator in the party might be more problematic
for example me and my friend barely made it out because a famulous spoke on our behalf
Also in the nihilus the tithe is a moot point anyways
and made it clear the magistrate was killed in a crossfire
not directly by us lol
(we still had our legs broken by powermauls)
“Yeah we really gotta keep the tithe going where no one can ever come pick it up”
Well that’s just courtesy
You get it free with any interaction with the arbites
You were guilty of something or other at some point to deserve it
Our crime was not notifying and clearing u pthe issue sooner
thus wasting the exaction squad's time

fucking hypocrites
Wasting ammunition
a lot of things
Yeah honestly I don’t know how they’d work in the nihilus
Actually wait, why would arbites care about aroma, the tithe is still going yes?
Unless the cult actively is trying to remove the arbites ig
Nope, its halted due to the uprising
its explained in their cinematic when the update drops
It’s not out yet Is it?
Nope.
I don’t think the arbites are gonna stop with just killing the cultists
Yeah they wont 
NDA broken
Hand over your knees
If you’re a governor and your planets tithe stops due to an uprising they’re gonna go for you next
They said in a blog the narrative team will explain it!

You’re guilty of failing to stop it
I think margrave is going to meet a shotgun slug to the skull, express delivery
He might, he might not
It depends on which Margraves are most culpable for the corruption
Some Barquettes may be on the chopping block, too
My Arbitrator's live reaction whenever he eventually has to go through Hab Dreyko guided by Sister Prine and the House representatives:
Jugde bread
Arbitrators gotta be one of the top 10 coolest looking things in 40k
Man I should rewatch Dredd, good movie
Wasn’t there a judge dredd game about fighting zombies and vampires in the city? Seems like it’s come full circle with Darktide.
Do Arbites have psykers like the Judge’s do?
Not within the Adepta itself
When the Arbites require a Psyker's assistance, they look to the Scholastica Psykana
I imagine a diviner would be pretty useful to the Arbites.
Wonder what kind of dialogue the Arbites personalities will have with the Savant Psyker
Also the Judges don't really have psykers either. Anderson was an exception
IIRC at least
I don’t know jack about judge dredd lore, except like, evil twin brother or somethjng
Yeah if they are getting help from a psychic son of a gun they may as well get it from a sanctioned one from the Adeptus Astra Telepathica
Have, not use, edited
I wouldn’t expect the Arbites to use an Unsanctioned Psyker, it just seems like a psyker is a useful tool for them to have, but the Imperium being the Imperium, pragmatism is always on the back burner
Something to understand is that, while there are more Psykers now that the Great Rift has been opened, they're still rare, and sanctioned Psykers are rarer still. It's why the Arbites have detectives and investigators
A Psyker who won't blow up into a daemon portal is nice to have, but they're a luxury, not necessarily the pragmatic approach
Also no psyker will for sure not blow up into a hell anus
yeah its gona be neat to see what the only former enforcer personality has to say about/with the arbitrators
Do company and corporations exist in the Imperium? I’m talking about companies like Apple, Disney, or Ford.
There are Guilds, so kinda
Yes
But most of it has been taken over by Imperium
Yeah but they arent usually massive conglomerates, just generally planet or system based businesses.
Massive
Anything bigger would probably be under so much scrutiny from the Administratum
Yes but they're system wide at most
And on some level controlled by the state/Imperium
Patterns are an example of sorts.
With the planet it comes from being what the pattern is named after
Usually a forge world, which could be considered a company.
Necromunda is another example of there being guilds which also count.
So congratulations, there are (in lore) thousands of variations of the simple lasgun
With quality, design, and make differing a lot
Now you might be wondering "Wouldn't this be a logistical hellhole to catalogue all of the different patterns and methods?"
Yes.

Basically the only thing that you can be sure of is that if it works without fucking exploding in your hands.
It's good enough
Also mean that technically some pattern exists of a California Complaint Bullpup Bolter
LMAOOOO janovich
comparing yourself to Alfabusa for something like this is also hilarious, fucking drama farming dipshit
finally he's leaving
Got the recommendation, didnt feel like watching it

And to understand why card games are canon.
Not my artwork, also stolen from a server elsewhere.
Purity seel
Ok but who could corrupt that lil guy
@arctic talon Small question, are there any rumours of any warhammer fantasy/AoS games coming sooner or later ?
that'd make too much sense for 40k, using a literally space wizard for things
instead of just you know
"burn the witch"
it does happen though
and it's nice to see when it does
a lot of the imperium factions could be( and some are "off-camera") incredibly effective/efficient if they actually used the wacky ass things the universe of 40k provides for them
Yea, the more radical minded ones can actually be more effective. Especially if they are only radical in doctrine and not actually corrupted by Chaos
There is a thin line, but it does exist.
I don’t deal with that side of leaks, but it would seem like no
GW runs a much tighter ship on that sort of stuff
Chud alert
Chuuuuuud alarm
Why can't we just have a normal community
You need to make your messages more convincing

That would take effort
Not a chance
Saying chud alert is way more fun
Then dont bother, its boring.

zzzz inducing even
But... my echo chamber... my... echos
Like recognizes like 
Do not disrespect my ancestors the Great Chuds
also is Jannovich finally leaving
thank fuck lol
boring ass generic drama slop
if he had actual evidence for everything he claimed
He'll come crawling back.
then I wouldn't be mocking his ass
but he didn't
so I will mock him
also he's an asshole
LMAO yeah
also he has like evidence kind of? But like its usual normal GW "dont do that" wrist-slaps. He makes it sound like GW is Disney or something.
his last 4 videos are legit hilarious though
Him and endymiontv are in a unproven drama leak rumor duel
hes such a grifter its kind of pathetic
keyword, for everything
Lmao yeah nah
the fact that he also makes stormcasts on every thumbnail kinda tells you his mindset
also comparing himself to alfabusa
which is hilarious
we do not know his opinion on Sugmar
who actually does something with his life and had a very understandable reason to quit
Alfabusa actually made something worthwhile
When I saw the latest Hunter episodes I realised where like the 20k dollars he makes off of patreon goes to

guy has like an entire animation studio rn
way better
Im legit glad he quit yeah
you can feel that he and the VA/Animation team
Hunter is unbelievably good
yeah
Yeah because WoD in itself is goofy
its basically hellboy but tabletop
serious and comedic
Hellboy is a very good comparison ye
unfortunately Hunter 1e
is the torment nexus
so I have a bad impression of the system lol
The fan spinoff are fun though, even though I think WoD has a very...US centric...market
For various reasons no less
WoD is extremely US centric playerbase wise
which is ironic
because none of Alfabusa's team is American lol


Kuei-jin
Damn, sad
dude I love that running joke in Hunter
except not all of them are chinese 
except all the examples they give are in fucking China towns and chinese
so
which is it
AGAIN
WHITE WRITERS
They don't exist anymore

Hit them with the all them Asians that speak the funny language are the same
This paper is so racist the writer must be snow white
their name is also an amalgamation of Japanese and Mandarin, which I assume was actually intentional
wait holy shit
Oh no LOL
THEY'RE CANON TO 2E AGAIN
HAHAHAHAHAHA
Why
There's lot of problematic writing, like some of the Werewolf writings
Chinatown in VTM:Bloodlines is classic
Everyone's either a drunk former assassin fortuneteller or a kuei-jin there's almost nothing else
i mean, dont the WOD werewolves literally require beastiality to procreate?
WHAT
I think lol
They are not literally me
I think it's worse, that's specific to 1 tribe iirc
"Werewolves cannot breed among themselves to preserve their lineage; their blood is too potent, and the result is always a deformed Metis. To continue their bloodlines, werewolves must mate with humans and wolves"
nvm this shit got retcon'd
And it's either an African or Austratlian one
WOD is amazing.
figures
Not because it's any good, mind you
Man this makes me want to grab some takout chinese food
clusterfuck sort of way
Ok the one that still have beastiality in their lore i think is the Bunyap, and are Australian natives
yeah, white dude writers
At what point
Do you think they sit down and decided to keep that
For that specific group
And thought “yeah this is probably fine”
i doubt they got that far
ofc im surpised that all female tribe doesnt also have it still
well i mean they might
Did Warrior lodges exist before or after Monarchia’s Burning?
before iirc
Before
They were setup super early on
Interesting, always thought it was established after The WB had to lick their wounds and began to sow the seeds of betrayal, or at the very least, express their “opposing opinion” of Big E’s shortcomings with other Astartes from different legions.
i might be wrong but i think they started doing that in the lodges after monarchia burned
but the system was in place well before that happened

So I don't have the Werwolf book yet, so I'm going by some forum stuff I had, and some say it's mostly cause those were not updated or mentioned, will be able to say more in a couple week at the earliest
For the GW Pygmy ?
are they just southland (or lustrian?) halflings now?
I'm about to go to one of GW portal in Ottawa. Will see how many beasts of nurgle around there.
a desk light i use at work has its safety certification sticker expired before i was born
i find that funny

"must mate with humans and wolves"
💀
The local Werewolf seeing a particularly thick female wolf:
Thank god it got retconned
The implications of that are horrific to say the least
That's quite a few miles beyond "implication"
There's hardly a lot left to the imagination when one writes "They bang wolves"
The most disappointing official store ever.
Least relatable activity
Hunter the Reckoning is good, want to try Werewolf soon
i should start a 40k trivia challenge night for this channel
would actually make it fun
That would be neat
Nighty
me asf waiting for New Antioch to use more than shotguns
I thought this was Avarax for a second
Why is trnch crusade arguments on twitter the literal stupidest shit ever
It looks like it has worse media literacy than 40K fans
a lot of them are 40k fans
Correction: a lot of them are THAT segment of (ex) 40k fans.
As in, the segment that thinks GW has gone “woke” and thus unworthy of their devotion now.
I wouldn't say a lot of TC fans are those 40k fans, they exist no doubt but they've been excised from the community pretty heavily. At least in the main parts of it like the discord and reddit
Ah that is good
yeah there was this whole thing when women custodes came out and they tried to go to TC and most of them got insta banned by the mods and devs
rewatching this, its actually a pretty good parody of the eric andre show
So I have always wanted to make a zombie story for no reason
Basically whether humanity beats the zombie plague or not doesn't matter as it's somewhat localized in a state.
Basically just a group desperately trying to escape the quarantine
But I wonder if the traditional vanilla Zombie Plague would be enough to have the military "lose" enough to have to quarantine a state in the USA.
By traditional I mean
Not airborne, it's spread through fluids and scratches and all that junk
It would be very difficult if it is not an extremely fast outbreak.
I'm thinking of like
The water supply in Los Angeles or some other huge ass city being poisoned
And by the time it's noticed, two weeks have already passed
And well, a lot of people drink out of the tap

It could do with that.
I always liked localized zombies more
If that makes sense
Like Resident Evil
Raccoon City is still a favorite of mine
In RE, they decided to nuke the city within a day of the outbreak is always illogical for me.
But whatever
I also thought about the plague basically having people be asymptomatic for a while.
Until they suddenly meet a non-infected person, then they just suddenly go bananas
Like you feel fine
You're just doing your normal thing
Then you meet somebody
You black out
Wake up
And you've bitten somebody in the neck
Like all the infected act like regular people until they see an uninfected person
Then they just suddenly turn animalistic
I think it took like a week or two?
Since it started with the virus supply accidentally being poured in the water supply
Also I think it's partially as a coverup
Because well the US military bought a lot of shit from Umbrella
The nuke gets rid of the zombies, bioweapons, and any evidence that the government was involved
It's also why Mr. X and Nemesis are sent after you
They're primarily there to prevent anybody who survived from getting out.
If the zombies didn't get you. Then the 8 foot tall bulletproof man with a trenchcoat will.

That's also why Mr. X specifically went after somebody in a jail cell that was imprisoned for attempting to leak info
There was little military presence during the outbreak, as if they weren't there at all in preparation for a big boom from the start.
Although I forgot whether the protag's like Leon are actually immune to the virus itself or if it's just a CoD type of situation
Yeah I think canonically the outbreak lasted for two weeks
Just fast enough to not muster up a military response but slow enough to have the government decide "Nuke"
Someone like Leon and Claire are from outside of the city, yet they didn't know what happened.
The police did actually try though, both in the original and remake.
Which is more than I can say for a lot of USA cops
Jill was working at RCPD, and she was surprised by the outbreak.
Hence my comment of the lack of military presence if the outbreak already started for a while.
Tbf she was forced on "vacation", was hiding in her apartment, and was also preparing to leave
And then, if we go with the remake, Nemesis just kinda uhhh
Fucking came out of nowhere
Lol... The US can deploy the military to LA in 2 days with nearly a thousand troops... Yet nuking your people is an easier solution??? Right.
Again. Probably to erase the evidence
Soldiers can report that the government was making deals with Umbrella to create bioweapons
A nuke wipes it away

Even though zombies in RE are tough, it showed that the military can still wipe them out.
well the nuke was dropped for 2 reasons, one to keep certain things secret and two the outbreak was genuinely out of control and made even worse when Umbrella dropped BOWs on the town
Again I think the BOW was to prevent anybody from leaking what exactly happened
By hunting down survivors
But judging by the fact that in RE4, umbrella got fucking dismantled
Safe to say that didn't work
But tbf do you expect a company that creates shit like the Lickers to be sane?
umbrella's whole schtick is being cartoonishly evil tbf
Yeah
Umbrella is just insane in general and honestly?
I can't help but fucking love it
Like the concept itself is hilarious
Most of the bosses never see a 12.7mm MG firing at them.
Like the equivalent to Umbrella is like if
Walgreens made zombies and bioweapons
For the military
And they have a secret underground laboratory
Like Umbrella is just doing it for the love of the game
the only BOWs that was deployed to actively hunt people down were the Tyrants and Nemesis, there were more BOWs deployed which umbrella used to get combat data
And honestly, if it wasn't for the fact that they work their employees like garbage.
but judging by RE9s trailer that nuke did jack all
It sounds fucking fun to work there
Like
Creating Mr. X
Sounds fun

You have to admit that
Also there are multiple Mr. X's in the original
But it's unknown if there is for the remake
Yeah he's a Tyrant
Tyrant is a classification
I think that considering HUNK encountered one that's fully intact in his mode. I would say
Probably
I think there were only 2 in the original timeline.
Although I like to think that it's the same one that hunted both Claire and Leon.
When he got sliced by Sherry's dad, it's what caused him to mutate.
yes that's what my original message means, Tyrants as in plural and then saying "he's a Tyrant" like saying they're a cop
I think the only thing that is severely disappointing with the RE2 remake is that
They didn't do enough with A and B
With the potential mixups that could happen
Like for example, there should be the choice to choose between the shotgun and grenade launcher for both Claire and Leon.
If one side takes say... The shotgun, the other doesn't have it.
Huh.
I do find it funny that a lot of the games make it seem that the US gov and Umbrella are not on good terms and it's prob the same with the remake
Tbf imagine having a good deal with a company
Only for them to accidentally start a zo.bie outnreak
And their way of fixing it?
Dropping more bioweapons
no I mean like even beforehand
the US was spying on umbrella from the start since they didn't trust them one bit
no deals going bad
just "hey those guys are shady asf"
It is funny to imagine like a US Government negotiator trying desperately to just
Comprehend their mindset
"Why would you even- what?"

they were spying on umbrella and were weary of them but just didn't do anything about them until it got out of hand with raccoon city
Black Friday
awesome patch note
So odd question, but could anyone see GW letting Zen Studios make a 40k digital pinball game?
shoulda made it more likely 😔
was deleting some old files when i came across this recording i made last year. forgot how hilariously entertaining Maxed out V is in the game
If theres a sequel to that game thats higher quality than the first, I'd buy it
Also probably with more cyberware options
i'd like more addition to cosmetic cybernetics, not just my face but properly modify the full body in the base game
make my skin shiny
I’d rather they put all their focus on Orion than add more to 2077
No I mean like creating another cyberpunk game
My only hope for a possible sequel is that they make the gameplay more enjoyable 😔
I honestly hope that the sequel will focus more on the RPG aspect
Like the action is fun don't get me wrong
But I feel like the biggest problem with Cyberpunk 2077 is that most of the ways you solve problems is through murder
and tbf that is fun.
But I'd like the option to NOT murder.
that too! although the action really isn't that enjoyable when the gameplay is so clunky and stiff
I honestly think the gameplay itself is smooth, but there's one issue
The balancing
The game suffers from what I would like to call Fallout 4 syndrome at the hardest difficulty
"Great, this guy is taking 1000 shots to kill!"
I get that most of the inhabitants literally have metal in their body
But I don't think even with a chromed out skeleton, that the regular fucking Ganger should be able to take 100 bullets
I feel the closest comparison to the gameplay feel of Cyberpunk is Necromunda Hired Gun, which really isn't a high praise
though it's chaff enemies don't have the bullet sponginess problem iirc
i would like them to draw more on the specific career skills for each role you would play on a Cyberpunk RED run. beyond just the additional dialogue options you have for "StreetKid", "Nomad" and "Corpo" for 2077. have the player learn the limitations and advantages you can build on. Sometimes you can't come out on top of a fight, you got to run or avoid them
but that brings me to the topic of removing the ability to change between roles/skillsets during a playthrough. Where, once you choose a role at the start, that's it.
Although it might be hard considering Netrunning is like
a separate minigame thing with it's own complicated "world"
It would be cool to become more netrunner focused?
IDK how the fuck that would work. I just think it'd be cool
Y'know how Oblivion allowed you to create your own spells
How about that but for Hacks

You're not just being fed to the Blackwall, you're also gonna have your dick evaporated before hand
Like V will never be a netrunner, they're more just "Look I got a program that sends you to hell"
it would be a lot to unpack and keep track of. Every class has the ability to fight, just some would do well for others. it'd be cool for like a Techie they allow them to have their own personal escort of drones and combat androids that you can create and customize. the more you advance the more blueprints you can get. and they'd be the ones to tinker with the internals of a gun whereas a Solo is limited to attachments
I think that generally Techies, Borgs, and Stealth should be like the three main pillars
IDK
Either way I do think that generally limitations are actually necessary
In some regard
It's cooler to specialize
Than just
Being a jack of all trades
Although tbf that's also fun as well
Like I think they tried somewhat in 2077 but it isn't really enough?
It feels a bit messy
exactly. some roles in the RPG carry one or two skills that they share, but i'd rather they not get the full package.
Although tbh CD Projekt Red is carried by their writers and lore to a degree.
Again if there is two things that would be awesome but also would be severely complicated to implement.
Cyberpsychosis and Netrunning
Netrunning could be implemented to a degree. Maybe with Cyberspace being accessible via chair and being a hub with some activities.
Cyberpsychosis would mostly be aesthetic though.
Again, if they had like a Fallout Speech System, Cyberpsychosis could be interesting. But with how 2077 works right now, it'd be hard.
I'd think Netrunners and Solo would have more vulnerability to that drawback considering one is diving into the abyss of the net where artificial horrors dwell and the latter having to keep modifying themselves just to get the edge that they lose any self-awareness
some kinda "damage over time"? thing
I mean Solos are basically more like a job
basically they're mercs
although Netrunner technically is also?
But it requires some specialization.
As for Cyberpsychosis. I remember talking about it earlier, but I imagined it'd mainly affect social aspects.
Basically by chroming up, it's easier for fight for sure.
But now you're scarier by looking like a Chaos Tech Priest rather than a proper human shaped individual
High-functioning Cyberpsychos are a thing. So I imagine that if a protagonist has to have cyberpsychosis, it'd be high functioning to keep some type of agency.
Solo: "I have become the Shawarma Grill Machine" incinerates target
But essentially, I think generally social requirements would be higher as a result. Romances could be blocked for some individuals since well uh
They might not be into somebody who's one step away from snapping and murdering entire groups of people.
hmmmm they have the option to write in a character who digs that kinda crazy
but true
To simulate this somewhat, there would be a chance where if you're combat or even start it. Everybody just becomes a shadow. Absolutely unidentifiable even with information.
So you could accidentally kill some poor civilian thinking they're an enemy.
i mean you can still be absolutely chromed to hell and majority of it be subdermal
Since everybody is also marked hostile.
i had the idea of digitized silhouettes
I was thinking of it kinda being similar to Maine where it's a black square, but I realized that people would think it's weird. So yeah generally digitized silhouettes would be better
like, before you really get over the edge, you can still distinguish based on color (red or blue smth), but once your past the point of no return theres just one color
But generally, because it's a video game, you have to do the random massacres yourself
Sorry

Still though, things like obsfucating who's an enemy and who's just a regular civilian would help with that
somewhat
a shame CDPR didn't have "Lawman" as one of the starting backgrounds. like, i feel that role could substitute "Street Kid"
I thought of Immunoblockers actually helping with the social aspect though
make them hella expensive
True.
Also Immunoblockers implies that cyberpsychosis is a biological reaction.
Like it's the body reacting badly to the chrome inside of you.
Which is why you're going crazy.
it'd be cool if there were varying categories for vendors to provide you the suppressants
say if it was a back alley doctor
the duration wouldn't last long because the quality is cheap
also it'd be funny that unless if it's high quality shit, it has a chance to make it worse
yeah
kinda like, amplifies the effect of psychosis
rn im thinking of the three tier system
I also thought of cyberpsychosis doing shit like making the health bar giltch so you don't know how "damaged" you are.
Which simulates how cyberpsychos literally just fight until they're either knocked out or die.
But it'd also buff you in combat.
damage stat booster maybe?
draw back is your health is dropping quick even without being attacked
there are multiple possibilities to explore, but sadly can't fit everything in one game.
true
TTRPG being put into a video game moment
Probably why a lot of 40k games suck tbh
...
well ignoring the fact that GW loves putting microtranscations into them for no reason
well one reason
(MONNEYY!!!)
I wish for the alt. universe where 40k Fire Warrior was actually good.
Btw despite the book actually being fun, the game itself fucking sucks.
Feels outdated even when it released it's actually awful.
It is cool for a second for the novelty of actually playing as a non-human but still.
if anything, come next title "Orion", they really improve and expand the gameplay. I'd like to talk my way out of it instead of pulling out my iron and blade. and instead of just street cred you can build a reputation with a particular faction. but the cost of siding with one is, while it'll boost your SC faster, it will look unfavorably for other gangs/corps. before eventually, its KOS for you.
can't imagine my disappointment when they were showing off the gangs for 2077 and i was a fool thinking i could align with one
Yeah this is the main criticism I have for 2077 and Orion would be wonderful for having it
The ability to actually talk out of situations
Fallout NV is fun partially because you can talk your way out
and if you want to, just solve everything but shooting the place up
options!
Tbf
we shall hope but since Orion will have 2 cities apparently I'm slightly worried
You singlehandely preventing the invasion of New Vegas by giving Legate Lanius a war supply and economic lesson 
birmingham
it's not Chicago
just inspired by it
Honestly I do wish that some areas in 2077 beyond night city were explored.
I think Japan would be interesting considering well
Arasaka
Mike Pondsmith says it's gonna the "Chicago gone wrong" city and Night City
then Night city in the tabletop lol
so I hope they don't reinvent the fucking wheel
lol
just add more to Night City
Honestly, this.
so long as i get this as a dlc in some capacity in terms of "new Location"
Make Chicago gone wrong a DLC area.
she probably did not stay on the moon
Probably not
Her saying the Moon is just trying to find a place where she was happy
She found one with David.
suicide honestly
Is Night City even the worst place in 2077?
yeah
in the NUSA yes
lol
by far
Night City is the worst fucking city
to live in ever
fantastic, why do people even move there?
upside, lots of opprotunity
cheap rent
downside
everything else
Oh also public services are nice
in Night City
lots of corporate jobs
ect.
I wonder how ass living in cyberpunks version of the Soviet Union is
Why the fuck does Night City have a better tram system than New York wtf
Its about as awful as Night city
because it was privately built by one dude
Called Mr.Night
no
Fantastic.
We should go there
this isn't a joke
Philippines is about the same...just worse
Alright so up in the same territory as Ferrus Manus and Goge Vandire.
A w e s o m e .
lmao
what did Pondsmith mean by this
on the moon, the funny thing is if i could get control of the Mass Drivers that catapult raw materials into Earth's orbit. and the European Space Agency dropped a rock on Tampa Bay from orbit.,,i wanna drop a rock on Paris
Isn't Hong Kong basically filled with AI btw?
Same with the middle east glassing itself
yeah hong kong is filled with AI
mostly friendly
oh also Alt is there
Would be fun to go there
lol
its kind of a nuked out mess
So that's why it's mainly filled with AI
Pondsmith somehow not being absurdly offensive with other regions in Cyberpunk 2020
GJ pondsmith
lol
No flesh mfs can stand living there
get there and every screen is just streaming Cocomelon 24/7
Still only slightly more brain melting than 2077's ads
Ah I love how most of the Soviet corpos have Sov in their names lmao
hong kong?
NICOLA TASTE THE LOVE
yeah hong kong got bioweaponed
Is cyberpunk one of the censored words in the Chinese keyboard?
Probably why only AI are there then
I think Cyberpunk red is banned
in China lol
Cyberpunk 2077
does not mention the part where Kang Tao
you know
invaded china
and took it over
really Japan in Cyberpunk is the closest to having some function of society
Thought it would be banned because
Blood
Sex
Blood and Sex
nah also a hellhole
yeah but Japan is especially
I think the wealth disparity is somehow more than Night City
its unclear
just searched it up china hasn't banned 2077
Tokyo is awful
wow that isl ike
Well hopefully they don't find out about the funny lore you see
Glad the Soviets have swag still
the #1 game I expected to be banned
oh it definitely will be if they discovered the chinese lore
but as of now it's not really mentioned in 2077 so it's good
ngl
Wish 2077 had weapon grades
for companies
then again
people prolly wouldn't like some guns being objectively shittier
because the company who made them is worse
lol
I was thinking of like
Guns that are lower tier are often from cheaper companies
But you are able to upgrade them.
To actually be good
But they're purely lower tier drops.
If that makes any sense?
I mean that's kinda the thing in 2077 but for every gun so
Is that the top leading oil company in cyberpunk?
saddest thing i have to do to even enjoy drip is thru mods
SovOil?
"What have you got"
"Literally just a regular double barrel shotgun"
for actual petroleum yes
"...anything else?"
for alternatives no
Petrochem is bigger
SovOil is the second biggest
they fought a war over ths
SovOil one but they crippled themselves beating the shit out of PetroChem
lol
also biotechnica is friendlier with PetroChem
because they're both American companies
Biotechnica lore is also nuts
God I forgot how insane the timeline is
Biotechncia is fucked up lol
Biotechnica is like one of the most evil fucking companies
crazy year 2008
Sasha moment
I think her death was basically pointless as it only caused the product to be delayed by like
a week
Because you're competing with arasaka
and militech
and I'd say biotechnica has probably commited more atrocities
Which like
Is sad and also unfortunately realistic.
Ngl I'm also annoyed how few corporations
are in 2077
like
there's so few
I don't need to see them all
just like
make some fucking ADs
i wished Lazarus Group was there
or some art assets
tbf some are there but like
just background at best
but fair
the ads are fucking hilarious in my opinion
They're like
Mobile Gaming Ads in tone
but much higher effort
if that makes any sense
They're not enough
is the issue
They don't have enough of the
like Corps
no WorldSat
smh
the second most important internet company
True, we should also see some
low quality ass mobile game ads for shits and giggles
"CAN YOU SAVE HER???"
shows borderline pornographic ad
also, for a variety of Nomad clans there are. we visually only see two in 2077
"PLAY OUR SHITTY MOBILE GAME NOW!!"
We see 3
technically
but barely
Also we only see a splinter of the Aldecaldos
tbh
one of the freindlier splinters
I kind of hate they don't dive into any of the shady shit they do lol
like human trafficking
which is their big thing lol
I waned to see the Jodes
tbf human trafficking is probably so common in 2077 that they just don't care
The Aldecaldos are presented as pretty
moral
which they aren't
but thats fine
lol
"Yeah stacy got stolen by the aldecaldos"
"again? ugh i'm gonna have to find a new friend"

kinda got that vibe when we do that gig involving Hwangbo
