In this place, the language is as birdcall – totally unintelligible! For example: for the surname Liú, they say 'Lâu'; for Chén, 'Tân'; Zhuāng, 'Chng'; and Zhāng is 'Tiuⁿ'. My deputy's surname Wú becomes 'Ngô͘'. My surname Huáng does not even have a proper vowel: it is 'N̂g' here! It is difficult to make sense of this.

so there's some very very very vague lingustic similarities or words that sound the same or similar

yeah

arctic talon
winter pine
#

Sucks that they scrapped all the wacky gangs of Night City for 2077

limpid granite
#

2077 is a very surface view of cyberpunk's world

winged jacinth
#

Cyberpunk is also imo less extreme than shadowrun lol

spring cairn
#

u can tell there was many instances where they went like

arctic talon
#

2077 is very surface level and that’s what’s unfortunate

#

lol

spring cairn
#

erm guys we can't show that

arctic talon
#

I need that 2077 source book Talsorian

limpid granite
winged jacinth
#

Clouds should have been a bunraku parlor

heady rivet
arctic talon
#

We’re finally getting the RED night city source book

heady rivet
#

I love Shadowrun

arctic talon
#

I want a 2077 source book

heady rivet
#

Worst rules of all time

spring cairn
#

this cyber wasn't very punk

arctic talon
#

They’ve been working on it for so long

winged jacinth
spring cairn
#

but i forgive it

#

because i love cerberus

arctic talon
#

lol

#

I’d killed for a cyberpunk RED crpg

#

Or 2020

#

Either or

limpid granite
#

also the fact that we cant get any visual changes to our character other than cyber arms

heady rivet
#

Shadowrun CPRGs are fun

arctic talon
#

They are

#

They remove the worst parts of the TTRPGs

#

Needing to do math

winged jacinth
#

I need to finish them

arctic talon
#

Anyways I hope that the 2077 era really doesn’t just only have like 8 fucking gangs

#

In night city

winged jacinth
#

I kept having weird moments where, because its set in seattle, i'd go "wait i recognize that block"

arctic talon
#

That would be lame as shit

#

lol

winged jacinth
#

Like the second mission? Where you go down a street to a warehouse

#

Its Pike Place

limpid granite
#

we dont even have an arm gun in 2077

#

like adam smasher has

arctic talon
#

We have the PLS

#

I guess

#

lol

#

💀

near wasp
#

There's an arm grenade launcher

limpid granite
#

no the projectile launcher doesnt count

arctic talon
#

I like to imagine both V’s have that one piece of cosmetic cyberware

#

That lets you adjust foot size

#

lol

near wasp
#

Why

winged jacinth
#

The projectile launcher is hilarious because its worse than grenades

arctic talon
# near wasp Why

Considering you can just put on any pair of fucking shoes you steal

spring cairn
#

peak

limpid granite
vagrant fox
#

hmm

#

good enough excuse

winged jacinth
#

You cant loot everyone's shoes maybe you're checking the tags

vagrant fox
#

I hope for more cyberware customisation in Orion by a lot

winged jacinth
#

"Damn these are size 11s yoink"

spring cairn
#

same

#

2077 was so lame with that

vagrant fox
#

Some funky looing arms was not enough

arctic talon
#

V's got this shit on god

spring cairn
#

u had to mod it to even be able to run chrome skin

#

which is like

#

a staple of cyberpunk

winged jacinth
#

Especially funny since it was fully implemented for lizzy

vagrant fox
limpid granite
#

cyberware in character customization was also ass

#

no jaw replacements or eye replacements

#

no takemura neck

urban spire
#

humanity mechanic is horseshiiiit

rocky gale
#

I'm putting together a team

arctic talon
urban spire
#

toot toot

spring cairn
#

worth it imo

#

u can steal shoes

limpid granite
#

Full body conversions having such a high humanity loss that youll instantly turn cyberpsycho

urban spire
arctic talon
#

lol

limpid granite
arctic talon
#

This is explicitly said

vagrant fox
winged jacinth
limpid granite
#

You are literally losing your soul

arctic talon
#

Prosthetics incur 0 humanity loss always lol

spring cairn
#

sawing ur own legs off so you can steal shoes and wear them is very humane

arctic talon
#

You are not replacing your legs with a prosthetic

sacred ginkgo
#

Anything that fixes you is free on humanity

urban spire
#

unless the prosthetic is too good

arctic talon
#

you are replacing your legs with a adjustable foot size

urban spire
#

in which case you become less human

arctic talon
#

the point of a prosthetic is to be a replacement

#

not to make your body literally better

#

humanity/emp is still kind of an awkward system

winged jacinth
#

If the cyberwear outperforms baseline human anatomy you lose humanity basically

limpid granite
#

Its like anakin losing his arm and his legs

arctic talon
#

but its stupid to say that prosthetics make you less human when they literally don't

urban spire
#

prosthetics that perform better in certain areas already exist irl

limpid granite
#

It weakened his connection to the force

urban spire
#

runner's prosthetics beat regular feet easily

arctic talon
#

if a piece of cyberware is designed to far surpass human anatomy

#

it incurs a humanity loss

languid meadow
#

it should def be like more

arctic talon
#

lol

spring cairn
#

blades are so cool

arctic talon
#

It should be seperated

winged jacinth
arctic talon
#

but maybe with whatever comes after RED

#

lol

spring cairn
#

i think i should lose 1 foot

#

or 2

languid meadow
#

neural overload or something instead of being called "humanity"

arctic talon
#

prolly

limpid granite
urban spire
#

idk as a balancing mechanic humanity sucks

winter pine
#

The dynalar cyberhand that can have like seven fingers comes to mind as a part that's just better

spring cairn
#

y 7

spring cairn
#

what does the seventh finger brings

arctic talon
winged jacinth
#

Im pretty sure cp humanity is just taken from shadowruns cyber/magic system

arctic talon
#

the system itself is fine

spring cairn
#

hell why 6

arctic talon
#

the execution and naming less so

#

lol

winter pine
limpid granite
urban spire
#

totally

limpid granite
#

If you use the spider body conversion you can go insane

arctic talon
#

mmmmmm

#

Militech

winter pine
#

Honestly extra limbs I get

arctic talon
#

Always coming up with new horrific tech

#

lol

mossy peak
#

omg are we cp posting now steam_happy

languid meadow
#

PLEASE

#

DON'T

winter pine
#

It does sound kind of disorienting to suddenly have two extra arms

arctic talon
#

its up to 4 extra arms

#

lol

spring cairn
#

ofc the tankie said this

limpid granite
urban spire
#

i really liked the 2077 implementation of humanity: it's not fucking real, it's a way for corps to blame mental fatigue and PTSD on the person suffering because they simply weren't good enough at accepting bionics

vagrant fox
#

Afaik Pondsmith said he intended it to be more a loss of empathy and psychological degredation no

arctic talon
#

cyberpsychosis isn't caused exclusively by cybernetics

#

high stress and living a shit life

urban spire
#

and that's also why i didn't like edgerunners

arctic talon
#

which is what all your PCs do

limpid granite
languid meadow
#

it's probably psychological since people with pre existing conditions dev it easier

winter pine
languid meadow
#

like PTSD

urban spire
#

cause in edgerunners people just go CrAzY if they eat too much metal

languid meadow
#

or psychopathy

arctic talon
#

Tbh

winter pine
#

It has a Humanity Loss of 73, or ([1d6/2 round up] + 22d6) if the user chooses not to take the average Humanity Loss.[1]```
arctic talon
#

The Edgerunner crew all lived an extremely stressful traumatizing life

winter pine
#

73 humanity loss is bonkers lmfao

arctic talon
#

like every other edgerunner crew in cyberpunk lol

limpid granite
rancid cove
#

What is twitter even about

urban spire
#

delete your twitter account

spring cairn
#

there is no end to the larp

rancid cove
arctic talon
#

You live an absurdly stressful job as an edgerunner

limpid granite
#

all of the cyberpsychos in 2077 had an extremely stressful event happen that made them lose their mind

languid meadow
limpid granite
#

apart from a few

arctic talon
#

your job literally revolves around fucking killing people lol

urban spire
#

pedophile website for pedophiles, owned by a pedophile, enabling pedophiles

limpid granite
#

cyberware makes you reach that treshold quicker

rancid cove
urban spire
#

no

languid meadow
#

the only reason i have twitter is because all the artists are there

#

because bluesky is shit

limpid granite
#

The Spyder 2.0 is a FBC body focused on espionage. Rumour has it the neural interface required to operate the additional set of limbs makes users of the Spyder more prone to Cyberpsychosis than any other FBC.[1]

languid meadow
#

and tumblr is shit

spring cairn
#

bsky is alr

rancid cove
spring cairn
#

i don't see what's wrong with it

arctic talon
#

bluesky is shit in other ways

languid meadow
#

Bsky is like

spring cairn
#

seems like twitter 2 to me

arctic talon
#

Its twitter 2

languid meadow
#

vanilla wine mom the social media

arctic talon
#

thats why its shit

urban spire
#

also there's "this is potentially run by a pedo" vs "this is confirmed run by a pedo and actively produces CSAM"

#

bsky is vibes coded and the owners suck shit through a swirly straw

#

but they're not confirmed pedophiles

limpid granite
#

i wonder if orion has full body conversions

winter pine
#

Text based websites kind of suck because it's mostly weird power users that dominate the medium

arctic talon
#

Prolly not

#

I don't think they'll ever let the player do FBCs

urban spire
#

and the website doesn't have a bot on it that can undress children if you ask it to

winter pine
#

not very popular anymore

arctic talon
#

aside from maybe the Gemini

rancid cove
#

Shit from a ass or poop from a butt

arctic talon
#

the issue with FBCs is that they're kind of crazy strong

#

and also they'd need to redo a lot of shit for them

#

some of them are way too big lol

winter pine
#

Yeah like Adam Smasher seems about standard for a lot of FBCs lol

limpid granite
#

maybe a gemini body?

winter pine
#

And he's got to be the equivalent of a car

limpid granite
#

adam smasher is a dragoon

languid meadow
#

he certainly goons with elvis

arctic talon
#

Smasher isn't standard really

#

he's in a modified dragoon yeah

#

Gemini is the only FBC I can see them doing

arctic talon
#

because its human sized, can reuse all the human rigs

#

ect.

brave owl
#

Smasher is THICC

winter pine
#

very amusing that Militech just stole the design for the Dragoon after IEC bit the dust

brave owl
#

You look like a cuttable meat of fuck, are you?

urban spire
#

adam smasher's real body is a small pod with his brain in it with a little tail that he can use to worm around

arctic talon
#

Smasher is a fat fuck but not as fat as he was in Firestorm

urban spire
arctic talon
#

arasaka Dai Oni

#

Lol

urban spire
#

he's just a little woim

arctic talon
#

Yeah

#

all FBCs are little worms

#

Little cute pod

limpid granite
#

all of smasher's cyberware in edgerunners

arctic talon
#

with a tail

limpid granite

FBC Body, Shoulder-Mounted Rocket Launcher, Neuroport, Self-ICE x3, Self-ICE Regenerator, Communications Receiver (w/ Descrambler), Jumpboosters, Armor Regeneration Matrix, Berserk, Experimental Sandevistan, Cybereye x2 (w/ Low-Light/Infrared/UV, Anti-Dazzle), Cyberarm x2 and Cyberleg x2 (w/ Hardened Shielding x4), Cyberaudio Suite (w/ Level Dampener)

#

I should read through the two Fourth Corporate War source books one of these days

urban spire
#

like those kids in revengeance

arctic talon
#

Tbh biopods are cool

limpid granite
#

adam smasher still has his frontal lobe and brain in 2077

arctic talon
#

two of them survivied arasaka tower being nuked

#

lol

winter pine
#

Think there was going to be a third one before they decided to work on v3 and uh...

brave owl
#

Still don't know how Blackhand can beat Smasher with out a hand implant when they say its impossible for players to beat him

winter pine
#

that didn't turn out good

limpid granite
#

shaitan is an extremely dangerous borg id say

arctic talon
#

lol

#

also he's built different

limpid granite
#

hes basically mike pondsmith's OC so by that margin he wins

brave owl
#

I thought Blackhand only had one? Which is what made him unique

urban spire
#

why would it be impossible for players to beat him? do they not have cannon in cyberpunk?

arctic talon
#

I'm not sure where the no cyberware myth comes from

#

Nah

#

this is his full list of cyberware

#

for blackhand

heady rivet
arctic talon
urban spire
#

mike pondsmith is cool, he gets to have an op self insert

limpid granite
#

blackhand and shaitan are currently in japan

arctic talon
#

his revised statblock in RED is an actual walking TPK lol

#

due to action economy abuse

#

In 2020 he's more killable because he's more normal

#

in RED he just takes 5 free turns and kills you

#

I'm exagerating slightly but still

limpid granite
#

Smasher is basically the DM ending the campaign

brave owl
languid meadow
arctic talon
#

In 2020 he's way more killable tho

#

in RED they went "fuck it lets just make him OP and tell the DM to use their discretion"

#

he's easier to hurt in RED

#

is the upside lol

mossy peak
urban spire
arctic talon
#

Blackhand is just a TTRPG character

urban spire
#

like not even a big one, just like 30mm

winged jacinth

If you work as a disney mascot in 2077 do you think they make you get a mickey mouse fbc

arctic talon
#

behold, maximum mike

winged jacinth
#

And do you think it has integrated weapons

arctic talon
urban spire
#

disney doesn't mean anything anymore, it's just the corporation that owns all the media

this is pondsmith's true self insert

it's meaningless

ngl its still hilarious

how his GM guidebook

fucking hilarious lol

Genuinely a good GM guidebook even if it's now over thirty years old

arctic talon

Listen Up, You Primitive Screwheads

Older than like 90% of the people on this server and still excellent advice

This reminds me of some old WoD splats, classic stuff

I'll still never be happy with my GMing but I'll read it

Always good to improve

Sharing PDFs with someone who needs it feels like feeding a baby deer out of your hand

I always knew Pondsmith was a 300 IQ mega genius

old nWoD hunter was such a joy to read

#

several of the hunter splats too

vagrant fox

The amount of times I've had someone whinge at me about rules as written

slasher and urban legends

fuck they're so good

vagrant fox

Yes, the rules say you get your stupid mechadendrite, but you're in the middle of nowhere ontop of a baneblade

I should find that guy and kill him in minecraft
