Lawyers are either people who generally are good people. Who believe in giving even the worst criminals a fair trial.

Or are willing to defend anybody as long as they pay the right price.

There is no in-between

WTF

[solid horizon]

god save the queen

[winged jacinth]

THE DOUBLE BARREL BATHROOM

[opaque coyote]

Dude

That pool is bigger than my nearby fucking MARSH

That shit should be classified as a LAKE

[solid horizon]

it's a bathtub

a bathtub for yo mama

[opaque coyote]

Hey!

...

They forgot the soap and shampoo

[solid horizon]

as if yo mama used these

[opaque coyote]

Nah nah my Mama's clean

Maybe yo mama

She don't worship Nurgle

[heady rivet]

Likem so?

[opaque coyote]

She worships Khorne

[opaque coyote]

She's an Asian Mom

All Asian Moms worship Khorne by default

[winged jacinth]

All the frank lloyd wright houses are more like big art installations than houses for living in or maintaining

[opaque coyote]

Why do you think they're so angry

[rose thorn]

EXACTLY LMAO

[winged jacinth]

If you can believe it this house has humidity problems

[opaque coyote]

Imagine accidentally leaving the bathroom lights on at night

You wake up to go to piss

[heady rivet]

I am too scared to look at the interior.

[opaque coyote]

And as soon as you open the bathroom door

[rose thorn]

Oh hey is this that house that turned out to be in the epstine files?

[limpid granite]

isnt this the house from that robot girl movie

[winged jacinth]

No one's lived in this house for 50 years

[limpid granite]

this is the baker residence irl

[winged jacinth]

Its a museum now

[rose thorn]

OHHH

[opaque coyote]

Resident Evil 7 Biohazard (2017)

[heady rivet]

Its price btw? ||330k USD||

[rose thorn]

ITS RHAT ONE

[winged jacinth]

Yeah its fallingwater

[limpid granite]

the fuck

also funny to see how diverse housing prices are

[opaque coyote]

The mirror bathroom genuinely terrifies me

[limpid granite]

330k can get you a mansion in different states

[opaque coyote]

Who thought in their right mind

That people would want to see themselves

Shitting

[solid horizon]

lmao that bathroom

[heady rivet]

Ethan

[solid horizon]

seeing yourself shitting one billion times

[winged jacinth]

FLW houses are all imppssible to maintain for a wide variety of reasons lol, not least because he was using early concrete wall tech and having basically everything custom made

[limpid granite]

imagine your fucked up drunk and take a shit on the mirror

[solid horizon]

what exactly happened to that soap brick

[arctic talon]

I was in a restaurant with a bathroom with that once

lol

[rocky gale]

Ants

[winged jacinth]

D...devoured by ants?

[limpid granite]

used as a credit card in someones coin slot

[arctic talon]

Consumed

[quiet orchid]

This is the place where they're filming the backrooms movie?

[solid horizon]

shit was desintegrated

[opaque coyote]

Honestly I would just piss outside

[limpid granite]

had to wash my cheeks sorry guys

[arctic talon]

Wonderful property for sale

[winged jacinth]

They're filming that on location

[arctic talon]

Jokes aside the place only costs so much bcs of land costs I bet

The actual house isn’t worth shit

The land is what costs that much

[quiet orchid]

yeah

no one wants a shit house like that

[winged jacinth]

Many of these expensive but shitty houses would actually be more valuable without the shitty house

Demolition is expensive

[opaque coyote]

"Damn this house looks terrifying. But the land is good so 330k"

• Landlord

The fuck are people gonna use the land for?

Farming??

[solid horizon]

only superstitious people fear houses made by autistic fellas

[quiet orchid]

''This house has a ghost, but the land is good for a plantation of a cornfield, so, 330k''

[winged jacinth]

Ive seen groverhaus

[solid horizon]

louisiana lore

[opaque coyote]

Imagine the landlord is like

The generic horror movie trope of the old man

[heady rivet]

Oh my god.

[arctic talon]

Build another house

[quiet orchid]

Teenagers on a farm with a cornfield find a strange cult on it

[opaque coyote]

Where he does exposition how a little girl died like 300 years ago

[solid horizon]

trazyn's home

[winged jacinth]

I love when they take the pics while the house is full of weird tchotchkes

[opaque coyote]

And then ever since then there's been

Several "accidents"

And incidents

[winged jacinth]

Its a quiet neighborhood though!

[arctic talon]

Lenin has the shittiest definition of imperialism ever

Is what I’ve decided

After reading his stupid chud works fully

[heady rivet]

Okay thats the peak nothing beats this

[opaque coyote]

WHAT

[arctic talon]

Why, why is it sunken into the ground

[opaque coyote]

WHAT IS THIS

[languid meadow]

type of shit you'd see in stalker lmfao

[winged jacinth]

Maybe you should read it in the original russian
I don't know if that changes anything but you'll have learned russian

[quiet orchid]

''oh, looks these horrifiying dolls, ill buy this house!!''

WTH

💀 I am not learning a 5th language when I haven’t fully learned my 4th

[solid horizon]

would you rather have a house decorated with dolls, or a house decorated by gunther von hagens

[opaque coyote]

You hear in the echoing halls of the underground house

"CHEEKI BREEKI"

[quiet orchid]

that shit is a captivity

[solid horizon]

me trying to build shit in FO4

[limpid granite]

UN FORASTERO

[opaque coyote]

Real

[quiet orchid]

how you find this houses?

[opaque coyote]

(The fucking walls aren't connecting again)

Seriously hate that shit

[winged jacinth]

You have to walk backwards through the front gate

[opaque coyote]

My first time playing Fo4

I distinctly remember spending like

15 minutes trying to build a basic house out of the floors and walls options

Getting frustrated because NONE of them were connecting right

[solid horizon]

real

[winged jacinth]

Fo4 settlements were so half baked even after the dlcs lmao

[opaque coyote]

And then saying fuck it and placing the pre-made shacks everywhere

[quiet orchid]

[winged jacinth]

Even mods only half improve it

[solid horizon]

I ended up making a triangular house once because I got tired of walls not connecting

it was nice and cozy

a concrete prism in the middle of sanctuary hills

I had even collected random scrap to place it instead of recycling it

[opaque coyote]

https://youtu.be/FCOzO4q0Igs?si=UkHer55tEad--QsL

[opaque coyote]

At least you can make stuff like this so it isn't all bad

[winged jacinth]

And then there's the mod that tries to make it like a city builder almost and its such a strain on the engine it barely works

[opaque coyote]

You can't build a proper house but you can build the fucking

Torment nexus

[solid horizon]

the humble hellforge :

[opaque coyote]

Oh 100%

A lot of Fo4 is half baked as shit

Like gun attachments

Would've been a cool idea

Unfortunately 95% of them literally are just

"Automatic receiver"

"Automatic receiver but does more damage"

"Automatic receiver but does more damage again"

"Bestest automatic receiver"

[winged jacinth]

(Level gated like 10 levels past where they'd be useful)

[opaque coyote]

".50 cal conversion (does more damage)"

[winged jacinth]

The modding perks are such traps lol

Now you too can make guns and they're only a tier under what random mobs drop!

[solid horizon]

you can build a full auto laser shotgun but not use it because insane recoil (very realistic for a laser gun)

[winged jacinth]

And then killing actual unique weapons for the legendaries you can just find identical stuff to

[opaque coyote]

They did like unique attachments which I genuinely thought were a cool idea.

Like the striker mod for the Fatman in Far Harbor that replaces firing a Mini Nuke with a fucking Bowling Ball

Like that shit is awesome. You can apply it to legendary and unique weapons and get wild ass results!

...and there's like 4 unique attachments in the game at most.

[winged jacinth]

I think i found a knife exactly like pickman's blade during pickman's house

[solid horizon]

ultimately it is the same with WH40k tabletop wargear options

especially with CSM

pick your bolter reskin

[heady rivet]

FO4 feels like every mechanic was half-finished when the game launched

[winged jacinth]

And most of them are for gimmick weapons

[opaque coyote]

Like they had a genuinely awesome idea

And then barely use it

[opaque coyote]

And also there's a cannonball launcher

You fire a fucking portable cannon. You shoot out cannonballs

It's the second most shitty big weapon in the game!

Especially on Survival

The Cannon or Cannonballs can't even be modified to explode

You can't even do stuff like grapeshot

What the fuck are you doing Bethesda?

[opaque coyote]

First is the minigun

Btw

Which is shit

[winged jacinth]

unique mod
it turns the gamma gun or whatever from shit to shit(different)

[opaque coyote]

It doesn't even have said damage increasing modifications

So it literally does as much damage as an actual pipe gun at most

[winged jacinth]

They had to make the minigun and t45 shit so they could give them to you 10 minutes in lmao

[opaque coyote]

So any enemy with more than

Raider armor

Fucking yawns at the minigun

Because apparently the 5mm ammo is actually just

Cottonballs

[vagrant fox]

But you could

[opaque coyote]

And the worst part?

Minigun actually feels good to use

It's probably one of the best feeling weapons in Fo4

Satisfying to shoot

And it's FUCKING WORTHLESS

[winged jacinth]

I mean they probably playtested the hell out of the intro sequence with it and used it nowhere else lol

[opaque coyote]

Better off selling the 5mm ammo and Minigun to get the caps

[vagrant fox]

Nightsider Imperialis short story has a vaguely interesting description of a night sider
Heart shaped face, looks a bit like a Catachan shrike bird, completely black eyes

[opaque coyote]

The intro sequence was only meant for a showcase

They decided to implement it into the game

And tbf it is a good area

But like

They had to keep the whole deathclaw thing

At least make it so idk

The power armor was actually on its last legs so as soon as you leave it. It falls apart (conveniently)

Giving you a taste of the power and making you want it more

Like a gaze into your future potential

Rather than something that's just given

At least Survival mode is actually pretty good

Yes I said it

It's probably one of the best additions in Fo4

Sue me

Only real criticism I have is that it should be toggleable to what limitations you want

[arctic talon]

Survival mode should have had toggleable options

also it was absolutely meant to be intended

originally lol

fallout 4 is like, cut content, rewrites and unfinished concepts the game

[winged jacinth]

Survival mode benefits a ton from something to semi-replace fast travel

[opaque coyote]

And it clearly shows

Especially when 76 does some of the things better

Fucking 76

[arctic talon]

vertibird™

lol

[opaque coyote]

More interesting weapon variety

Better VATS

[winged jacinth]

I think i used a special house "in the sewers" that had like 10 map entrances you unlocked from the outside

[opaque coyote]

Actual fucking dialogue options

Why is the multiplayer online game

MORE OF AN RPG THAN THE SINGLE PLAYER ONE

Like thanks to the devs that continued developing despite the disaster that was 76's launch

But also it kinda just shows how halfbaked Fo4 is

[winged jacinth]

Imagine if todd howard played other video games

What if he had bothered to play cyberpunk before starfield released

I think 2.0 was a couple years before starfield

[opaque coyote]

And you wanna know the very very worst part?

Starfield actually fixed some of the complaints.

I barely remembered my short time playing it.

But there was

• More dialogue options
• Multiple distinct ways to solve a quest
• Actual detailed skill tree and abilities

There was just one problem

The game world itself is the most boring and vapid thing

[arctic talon]

ngl

[winged jacinth]

Starfield fucked up The Formula

[arctic talon]

starfield was doomed the moment they did randomly generated environments

[hallow plover]

That's every bethesda games though

[opaque coyote]

Yeah

[arctic talon]

even more so for fallout 4

lmao

[opaque coyote]

Everyone loves Bethesda for their handmade environments

[arctic talon]

It went through 4 goddamn rewrites

[vagrant fox]

I liked 2.5 of Starfields quests. The whole game felt like pure nothing

[opaque coyote]

Like even Fallout 4 had interesting locations

[arctic talon]

The BoS were not intended to show up originally

lol

[opaque coyote]

Everyone loves that shit

[arctic talon]

Among many other things

[opaque coyote]

So of course Bethesda uh

Decided

[hallow plover]

I never touched F4 again after I cleared the initial release

[arctic talon]

There was also going to be a split between weapons in power armor and out of it

[winged jacinth]

Starfield quests having no connection is so funny

[arctic talon]

Along with survival mode being the baseline for the game

lul

[opaque coyote]

"Hey y'know the thing that everyone loves about our games? Let's just remove it completely."

So all that's left is the story

[winged jacinth]

Im the #1 cop and #1 pirate and #1 pirate hunter and none of these influence each other

[opaque coyote]

And after Oblivion

Nobody plays Bethesda games for their main story

[vagrant fox]

Very Bethesda isn't it

[opaque coyote]

And Starfield itself

[winged jacinth]

Not even a reaction for docking the mantis ship or wearing the outfit at the pirate station

[arctic talon]

Orion better have more gangs

[opaque coyote]

It's just an awful setting

[arctic talon]

or the 2077 sourcebook

[opaque coyote]

Terrible worldbuilding

[arctic talon]

[opaque coyote]

Non-sensicial factions

[solid horizon]

fallout 4 is so sanitized I swear

[opaque coyote]

I admit, technically Starfield actually did a lot

[arctic talon]

I'm going to fucking kill CDPR and R talsorian if there's not more gangs

in 2077

[opaque coyote]

To improve on what people complained about in 4

[arctic talon]

[opaque coyote]

They just forgot about

The actual world.

[opaque coyote]

Because again. There's actual RPG mechanics in it

The skill tree isn't simplified as shit

[vagrant fox]

Is just one more enough or like 6

[opaque coyote]

You can actually do more things

[solid horizon]

chat is this a lie

[opaque coyote]

But there's nothing to do with them

[arctic talon]

Like 20 fucking more even if they're text only lmao

[vagrant fox]

I'll accept it

[arctic talon]

It should be easy for the 2077 sourcebook

just port shit from RED

[opaque coyote]

Most were on launch

[arctic talon]

lol

[opaque coyote]

Very few bought it afterwards

[arctic talon]

There's so many Gangs in RED

and 2020

[solid horizon]

I was about to say my fallout MC mod is more popular than starfield

[vagrant fox]

I crave more detail, more character customisation

[opaque coyote]

I feel like

Gameplay wise there should at least be like 4 more

[arctic talon]

there should have been

lol

[winged jacinth]

Starfield broke the bethesda core formula of
Place A sends you to place B
On the way you find place C that tells you about place D

[opaque coyote]

Also there's someone basically using Starfield as a base to make their

[arctic talon]

The Mox aren't an actual gang mechanically

[winged jacinth]

Instead you teleport from A to B then back and repeat

[arctic talon]

same with the Aldecaldos

lol

[opaque coyote]

Dream Star Wars game

Which is

[arctic talon]

both of them are almost entierly friendly

[opaque coyote]

Fucking hilarious

And the best part is that he's actually doing really good work

[vagrant fox]

They're vaguely around. I didn't feel like the whatever nomad gang was around much

[arctic talon]

There's only like 3 instances in the whole game

[opaque coyote]

You almost forget the human trafficking

[arctic talon]

the Wraiths are exclusively in the badlands

I meant mechanically

but yes

[solid horizon]

to be fair, probably is

[arctic talon]

they're human traffickers lol

the Mox are a bunch of pimps as well

they're just less awful then the other pimps(for now)

[vagrant fox]

Yeah those, I barely registered them at first. I thought it was just a small petty hoodlum gang with guns
Skill issue probably

[arctic talon]

like every other guardian gang in Cyberpunk it'll all go to shit lol

[solid horizon]

take that toad award

[opaque coyote]

Tbf you could excuse it since nomad gangs are more like

A bunch of people whose only similarity is that they're flying under one banner

[arctic talon]

nah the whole nomad nation of the Aldecaldos main thing is gun smuggling and human trafficking lol

They're good at moving people

its kind of their thing

[winged jacinth]

Tbh trafficking everything is the purpose of nomads lol

[opaque coyote]

Yeah there's explicitly trouble brewing in that portion.

In general they're a weird mixture of a pimp and a union.

Which

[arctic talon]

oh for sure lol

[heady rivet]

Israel has taken ceasefire to mean "You cease, I fire!" yet again

[opaque coyote]

Is a combination that I never even considered

[arctic talon]

tbh

they're a guardian gang

[winged jacinth]

The mox is a fun weird point in time of prostitutes becoming pimps

[arctic talon]

I give it 10 years before they're bashing in a prostitutes skull for protection money

[opaque coyote]

Nearly every guardian gang ends up sucking

[arctic talon]

the Tyger claws

were

a guardian gang

emphasis on were

[opaque coyote]

How

[arctic talon]

They started off to protect the Japanese and greater east asian diaspora in Night City

[opaque coyote]

Oh right yeah

[arctic talon]

it degenerated in under 7 years

into what it is now

lol

[opaque coyote]

Didn't even last a fucking decade

[winged jacinth]

Console audiences too weak for them to make clouds into a bunraku parlor

[opaque coyote]

Honestly it would be interesting if the Mox was beginning to degenerate fully in Orion

Which also would be sad

But yeah

[arctic talon]

they were Japanese supremacists for a bit before they became a "any east asian + some other people are okay to join as long as we say so"

and then they started all their activites

[opaque coyote]

Something something "Happy endings? Wrong city."

[arctic talon]

well

💀

[opaque coyote]

Also is there any Chinese themed gangs

You think with Kang Tao and such existing there would be

Quite disappointed when I didn't find any

[winged jacinth]

Jack White once said "you cant be a pimp and a prostitute too"

[arctic talon]

the tyger claws in China town

the Gold Dragons are the big one as of 2045

They're a booster gang

and they're friends with the tygerclaws

other notable booster gangs include maelstrom

so I think you can get the idea of the type of people they are

[winged jacinth]

Cars are machines

[near wasp]

Ugh if the worlds gonna already be a dystopian cyberpunk can we just hurry up and get chrome

[winged jacinth]

I mean looking at maelstrom cars you can tell they run chop shops lol

[opaque coyote]

Wow they literally only have a paragraph in the wiki

Great

[arctic talon]

yeah well

their boss has more lore

lol

[opaque coyote]

Hopefully Orion has them reappear

I want my Chinese representation

[opaque coyote]

Actually a surprise

Thought they would be sworn enemies

[arctic talon]

Tbh its likely they got absorbed in

they have the same interests

ultimately

a veneer of protection

[opaque coyote]

Boring af

[arctic talon]

and making a lot of goddamn money

lol

[opaque coyote]

Makes sense brt still

I hope they still exist

[arctic talon]

they could keep them seperate but friends

none of the gangs in 2077 have their friends around still

lol

Maelstrom's missing the iron sights

the other psychopathic booster gang

but less culty

and more shooty

[opaque coyote]

I would love to fight like

Cyberpsycho people wearing Ancient Chinese Warrior Armor

Actually something I am disappointed in.

I get why armor really isn't that much of a thing.

Cybernetics and all that

But Cyberpunk is literally style > practicality the genre

So I am EXTREMELY disappointed

We never got a Tyger Claw wear like

Full Samurai Regalia

[arctic talon]

its a case of gameplay

lol

[opaque coyote]

And as you shoot off the pieces

[arctic talon]

they were on a time crunch

[honest bluff]

wish we got idk an enemy with 4 arms or sum shit

[opaque coyote]

You see their chrome fully exposed

[opaque coyote]

Yeah I am aware

Many rewrites and such

Development hell

[honest bluff]

i remember there’s one exotic enemy in the entire game

[opaque coyote]

I just hope Orion does more with the potential

That the Cyberpunk universe can have

More Borgs, more exotic enemies, etc.

[arctic talon]

tbh have you seen the Araska armor lol

[opaque coyote]

More unique cybernetics and guns

[arctic talon]

that shit is basicially samurai armor

[opaque coyote]

True

No cool devil looking mask

So 0/10

[heady rivet]

I LOVE canon larping

[vagrant fox]

Complete drip

[arctic talon]

Tbh

[heady rivet]

Its my favorite trope in every form of media

[arctic talon]

if your corporation isn't LARPING

who cares lol

[honest bluff]

croc skin

[opaque coyote]

Reason why I love the Legion in FNV.

And also why I am disappointed that they have like three sets of armor at most

[vagrant fox]

Power projection through brand image and aesthethics is paramount

[opaque coyote]

Because 18 month development time

[arctic talon]

tbh

[opaque coyote]

Technically they have more than 3. But their armor variants basically look the exact same

[arctic talon]

my only complaint about corporate aesthetics in 2077 is they didn't do enough with it

lol

[opaque coyote]

So true

[vagrant fox]

correct

Go harder

[opaque coyote]

Honestly if anything I am disappointed we didn't get more corporate slop based on modern day

Where is the oversimplified logos?

[arctic talon]

because

style over form

[opaque coyote]

Okay actually that would look uncool

But seriously though

Having more corporate bullshit would be interesting

[vagrant fox]

I like how the Kang Tao soldier look but they're not too disimilar to Arasaka

[arctic talon]

there's this one in 2077

which got simplified from RED

this is the RED one

the logo is simplier even if its "3d" now

lol

[opaque coyote]

Honestly

I think it actually got more complicated

Because not only 3D but a gradient as well

And the font is wider

[arctic talon]

midnight arms also got simplier

[opaque coyote]

Only difference is no square

[arctic talon]

their 2077 logo is this

this is the RED logo

[opaque coyote]

Yup

Proper oversimplification

Perfectly generic and losing the little soul a company logo has

[honest bluff]

from no soul to negative soul

[arctic talon]

tbh

its fucking Midnight arms

[vagrant fox]

It's like some logo you see on a car

[opaque coyote]

It's so shit it's beautiful

[arctic talon]

all their guns are boring

[opaque coyote]

Tbf the amount of guns in cyberpunk probably outnumber the cars

Like way outnumber

[arctic talon]

wait a minute

I just fucking got the joke with Kang Tao

holy shit lol

their name is a reference to Hokkien slang

[opaque coyote]

What is it

[arctic talon]

it sounds like "job opening" in slang

lol

[opaque coyote]

...

Oh my god

[vagrant fox]

That's pretty funny

[opaque coyote]

That is actually fucking funny

"Yeah I got a job in job opening company!"

"...what?"

[arctic talon]

tbh its so goddamn funny

[opaque coyote]

"Yeah! Job opening company!"

[arctic talon]

Kang Tao's logo has gone unchanged

since 2020

Pondsmith was like

yeah this is good

massive fucking change

as you can tell

they changed from white

to orange

This corporate logo change prolly costed like 5 billion eddies or some shit as well

[opaque coyote]

I mean the MA70 HB isn't boring

But that's because it doesn't have much competition in 2077

Seriously only two lmgs

And said MA70 was only added in the DLC

[arctic talon]

it is literally unchanged from fucking 2045

[opaque coyote]

Where's my fucking rocket launcher and flamethrower smh.

[vagrant fox]

Proof that Kang Tao is the #1 company

[arctic talon]

the fucking Midnight Arms Midnight Assault HB is a thing that exists in 2045

MA are so goddamn boring they're selling them same gun 32 years later with 0 changes(probably)

[vagrant fox]

Sensible and reliable is what that means

[opaque coyote]

Malorian does the same thing and their guns are fucking awesome

Why does it feel like we're actually in an in-universe chatroom atp

[vagrant fox]

I am quite fond of the SOR-22, Midnight Arms have a license to cook

[opaque coyote]

I feel like I'm sitting in an Arasaka classroom with a tab on the side

[arctic talon]

oh yeah Malorian

is another one thats unchanged

lol

[vagrant fox]

btw Elite did bilibili really get mad at Ludwig and Michael standing on an empty road

[arctic talon]

how much do you think the graphics designer got paid for this

[arctic talon]

Some people did, but Bilibili is also mostly cityfolk

lol

[opaque coyote]

"Yo chooms, check out the new gun Militech dropped. Pretty delta isn't it?"

[vagrant fox]

Sounds blown out of proportion then, boo

[arctic talon]

bilibili is also like

bilibili

it is way eviler then youtube lmao

[vagrant fox]

That's a feat

I've just heard about them getting mad that kids aren't speaking English well enough and the standing on the road bit

[near wasp]

@storm jungle

[vagrant fox]

You're making it sound like I should be a logo designer in Cyberpunk

[opaque coyote]

Weibo is just an unholy union between 4chan and Twitter

[arctic talon]

Youku is the true youtube equivelent

[opaque coyote]

And then it started speaking chinese

[arctic talon]

Bilibili is a little uh

hm

how do I put this lol

[opaque coyote]

I don't even think it's chinese

It started in Japan

If I remember correctly

Or was that some other one

[arctic talon]

Bilibili is chinese

[opaque coyote]

I swear there was a popular Japanese video sharing ine

[arctic talon]

sony owns stake in it nowadays tho

[vagrant fox]

Nikoniko?

[arctic talon]

Bilibili has kind of a reptuation of being filled with toxic shitheads

[vagrant fox]

nico nico

[opaque coyote]

Yeah

[arctic talon]

lol

[opaque coyote]

Also

[arctic talon]

that isn't to say it is entierly them

but the comment sections are

[opaque coyote]

Orion better have my favorite corpo

[arctic talon]

sometimes

[opaque coyote]

Sanroo

Otherwise

0/10

Shit game

[arctic talon]

goated advertismenet

[opaque coyote]

I want my girly girl guns

[vagrant fox]

This is barely even satire atp

[opaque coyote]

12 days of cutiemas moment

[arctic talon]

that thing is expensive as shit btw lol

and it hits fucking hard

[vagrant fox]

zased

[arctic talon]

look for context

in heavy pistol mode

it hits harder then the fucking militech crusher

which is a shotgun

[vagrant fox]

Apparently they make a Hello Cutie sniper too, why not

[arctic talon]

that one has an AI in it

[opaque coyote]

Sorry for the

[arctic talon]

not a like

AI AI

[opaque coyote]

Fucking long ass

Link

[arctic talon]

but its got a non sentient thing in it

[opaque coyote]

Because it's the 12 days of cutiemas

New drops from Sanroo

Including a rave grenade

[vagrant fox]

Cyberpunk is cool, I should do a proper deep dive week sometime

[opaque coyote]

A grenade that explodes in a shower of glitter and chromatic smoke

The worst part about it is the glitter

At best trauma team will give you a 10k Eddie extra fine for having to remove all that shit

[vagrant fox]

Pondsmith should've been a Japanese marketing man from what I can see

All this Sanroo stuff is exactly what my Japanese friend hates

[opaque coyote]

Also the Hello-Cutie Hypurr Hammer

A very big, very heavy hammer

Styled after a cat

With four paintjobs

[arctic talon]

that things a fucking thunderhammer

like unironically

[opaque coyote]

Also if you're too weak to swing it

[arctic talon]

wait no thats the bat

lol

[opaque coyote]

It literally mocks you

With a high pitched voice

[arctic talon]

yeah it degrades you

they know

[opaque coyote]

Also Mono-Paws exist.

Basically just...

Wolverine claws but cat themed and pink

And also they're actually attached to your nails like

Actual claws probably

That actually sounds sick why the fuck didn't we get that

Scratching your enemies to death like a rabid animal sounds cool as fuck

[opaque coyote]

Found what you were talking about

Literally called the Thunderbat

They knew

[arctic talon]

because we got gorilla arms and mantis claws already

[opaque coyote]

Apparently it is modified to make a fucking deafening home run sound

Every time you swing

Also it's classified as a stun baton

And it stuns people with the noise rather than the actual hit

So it's not as powerful as an actual thunder hammer unfortunately

[vagrant fox]

This thing is not like the others, tonally dissonant thing

[opaque coyote]

I guess that's reserved for the hammer that mocks you if you're too weak

[opaque coyote]

I am now imagining the Jackhammer from Ultrakill

[arctic talon]

its a collab smh but yes

its not actually a sanroo product

lol

I'm not sure why the fuck its there

[opaque coyote]

Do you think people in the cyberpunk universe get hyped over like

Corpo collabs

Are there corpo stans?

...humanized corpo fanfics??

Oh god

Even in a cyberpunk universe

Fujoshis never disappear

They only evolve

[arctic talon]

Yes absolutely

[vagrant fox]

Like housing fellow, roommate? It's weird

[arctic talon]

fucking Corpse Reviver is a sanroo shill in universe

And she leads a goddamn Gang

lol

[opaque coyote]

Well

If I had to be a shill of a corpo

It's Sanroo

Orion better have Sanroo weapons

I will even accept unique variants

But I would prefer some actually unique weapons

[vagrant fox]

more variety, I'll take weapons with stat duplicates for variety

[arctic talon]

^ deadass

RED and 2020 did this for the sake of worldbuilding

[opaque coyote]

I think 2077 actually has a Sanroo unique variant but it's annoyingly part of like

[arctic talon]

it makes sense that companies have similar products when it comes to fucking guns

[opaque coyote]

A twitch drop

[arctic talon]

There's only so much shit

you can do to make a thing that shoots a bullet weird

and funny

[opaque coyote]

True.

But in general there must at least be one or two Sanroo guns

Otherwise

Orion is 0/10

Shit game

Joking obviously

But I just love like

Girly themed violence

[vagrant fox]

Actually I've decided Midnight Arms is goated for Erebus, even if Militech had a heavy hand in it

[opaque coyote]

A pretty and pink

Weapon

It's entertaining

Femininity turned into a literal bludgeon to beat someone over

[opaque coyote]

Also yeah I know we already have like 3 melee cybernetic weapons.

But honestly the claws would've been cool as like a unique mantis blade variant with different animations.

Would it arguably be too much work? Especially for a game that infamously went through development hell?

Yes

Would it also be cool?

Yes

[vagrant fox]

The devs should work harder for my pleasure

[opaque coyote]

What? They have families?

They don't need them clearly

If they can still model the children fine. Then they don't need to see their kids.

[vagrant fox]

correct

If they wanna make Cyberpunk so bad, they should live it

[opaque coyote]

Jokes aside. I get how hard it is to keep variants and such unique

Because even the variants we got are uh

Some of them are definitely more interesting than others

They were definitely running out of ideas for some of them

[vagrant fox]

I'm mainly concerned about aesthetics and design, I don't care a huge deal about the stats

[opaque coyote]

But at the same time. I can't help but want some more of the unique shit

[opaque coyote]

Exactly tbh.

Again, I think it would've been unique to have said Sanroo cat claws

As like a variant of the Mantis Blades

Different animations

Faster attacks and more powerful (somehow don't question it)

But it can't block bullets

[vagrant fox]

If this doesn't happen to the devs I'm not interested

[opaque coyote]

Because I genuinely forgot if the mantis blades are part of the

Bullet blocking perk

And if it doesn't it should

[opaque coyote]

Holy fucking shit

I didn't even think they were the same person

Unironically

[languid meadow]

I mean almost 2 decades

[arctic talon]

he would fit right in in Turkey

[opaque coyote]

At least he got better hair as he grew older

[arctic talon]

mustache isn't glorious enough

[opaque coyote]

[storm jungle]

turks are literally viltrumites so its true

[vagrant fox]

Yeah it's two decades and stress

[opaque coyote]

Bro got so stressed he regrew his hairline

[near wasp]

Lol

[opaque coyote]

Integer overflow

[heady rivet]

And Greece. And Macedonia. And Albania. And Kosovo. And

[opaque coyote]

Went from balding to luscious Leon Kennedy ass hair

[vagrant fox]

I saw this like 6 hours ago

why is it

[summer mural]

oh is new ep out yet

[storm jungle]

"thragg"

[summer mural]

last ep released yesterday

[storm jungle]

literally every viltrumite looks like a turk

[vagrant fox]

false

[near wasp]

There are viltrumites of every race it's just the Turks are the only ones who survived the scourge

[summer mural]

whos thraggs va

[storm jungle]

Lee Pace

[civic gale]

the concept of eliminators is cool

[storm jungle]

hes an industry bigshot

[summer mural]

ITS LEE PACE?

[storm jungle]

LMAO

[summer mural]

lee pace was legendary in Foundation

[storm jungle]

he was legendary even before that

[summer mural]

https://tenor.com/view/lee-pace-cocky-sweaty-gif-4996385897671146778

[storm jungle]

guy's peak

BRUH

[vagrant fox]

Yeah, I'm 100% sure Lee Pace will clutch any moment now

[near wasp]

Look at me and tell me I'm wrong

[summer mural]

so what you're telling me is...Thragg is Thranduil

Of course he is

[storm jungle]

Next episode. Patience.

[summer mural]

should have seen it coming

[civic gale]

btw drifty

[summer mural]

https://tenor.com/view/thranduil-i-can-wait-the-hobbit-gif-26921917

[storm jungle]

yall need to see the generational pullup Thragg is gonna do

[civic gale]

fav jesper kyd song?

[summer mural]

ac2

[opaque coyote]

Tbh the comics have him look far more chiseled.

His face kinda looks more round in the show

[vagrant fox]

To paraphrase a weirdo, nothing could stop me

[civic gale]

"ezio's family"????

[summer mural]

mhm

[civic gale]

https://tenor.com/view/smiling-friends-mr-boss-dap-up-dap-hand-shake-gif-17813953548000062507

[near wasp]

So I wonder how they'll handle annissa

[civic gale]

MAH MAN

[heady rivet]

https://tenor.com/view/mao-zedong-hello-chat-mao-gif-22461031

[opaque coyote]

Also...

[vagrant fox]

Doesn't show Thrugg look like later comics Thrugg

[civic gale]

i don get it

[summer mural]

jeffrey dean morgan being lee pace's fictional underling sounds so right

[opaque coyote]

Honestly hopefully better since

That whole affair was

Messily written to say the least

Especially on how she had a severe lack of consequences narratively

Like it makes sense on some level because some people just

get away with it

[near wasp]

I hope they don't just delete it because I feel like that'd be a cop out

[summer mural]

why is your name black templar racist

[opaque coyote]

But also like the fact that it's barely acknowledged by Anissa is

Stupid

[arctic talon]

They probably wo't change it

tbh

[near wasp]

She's so brainwashed

[vagrant fox]

I don't know if it's spoilers, I doubt it, but I'll censor it. But it's not too far off this

[arctic talon]

I think its fine

[heady rivet]

He's exactly what it says on the tin

[arctic talon]

with how she acts

[opaque coyote]

Originally an April Fools that I'm keeping.

[summer mural]

[opaque coyote]

I think the consequences on Mark at least should be tackled more

[arctic talon]

I agree

[opaque coyote]

And also maybe either have her feel more guilty or more uncaring

The comics had this weird inbetween

It just felt like Kirkman really didn't know how to handle it

Which tbf

I wouldn't know either

Sexual assault and it's consequences are extremely hard to tackle correctly

In terms of writing

[near wasp]

Getting assaulted like that will have psychological scars

[opaque coyote]

Especially with it's history of it being purely used for shock at most

Fridge moment

[arctic talon]

its used purely for shock value

lol

[opaque coyote]

Yeah. But having it just as the

"moment"

Is what most writers trip up on

The consequences and how to tackle it is

Difficult

Heavy

And also the reason why most writers (that aren't writing romance novels that is a whole other topic) avoid it like the fucking plague

[vagrant fox]

also Graveyard Keeper is free to keep on Steam right now

[opaque coyote]

Cool I have no idea what that game is

I'll steal it anyways

[vagrant fox]

-2

[opaque coyote]

For free™

[opaque coyote]

Seriously though is it good

[arctic talon]

yes

get it

[vagrant fox]

My friend really likes it, I don't know what it's like

[opaque coyote]

Alright then

I'll take it since it's like

Free anyways

Idk like 99% of games that become free on epic and now on steam

Are usually like

Unity Asset flip AI garbage

That 1% is worth though

Got Lisa the Painful and it's DLCs for free

[vagrant fox]

Yeah I think it has very positive ratings with like 15k reviews

[opaque coyote]

I distinctly remember an interesting way of handling it

Forgot the name but it's about a gay couple

One of the men was previously raped

And they handle it carefully

[near wasp]

Ark when free to keep on steam a fucking day after I bought it

[opaque coyote]

They decided to have sex, did some foreplay, only for one of the men to feel uncomfortable with fully going through with it. And the partner decided to stop as soon as the man said they wanted to

So they just sat and talked for a while

[vagrant fox]

It's very seldom I see SA handled tactfully in stories but imo it should be talked about

[opaque coyote]

It's almost like it's actually a RELATIONSHIP

A ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP

NO WAY

[opaque coyote]

The Boys S4 handled it poorly in my opinion

Having Hughie get sexually assaulted as a joke??

And the writers are surprised that some people don't find it funny

Including me

I just felt uncomfortable about how his genuine emotional pain was basically used as a punchline in this instance

[near wasp]

He also fucked a shape shifter and got blamed like he was supposed to know that the perfect copy wasn't starlight

[opaque coyote]

And so did the actor asw

[opaque coyote]

Again The Boys S4 was probably it's worst season

Luckily S5 looks good so far

And I hope it's the final one

Since clearly the writers are running out of steam

[near wasp]

It is the final

[opaque coyote]

Good

[opaque coyote]

Like I think it's understandable that sometimes writers and comedians like

Accidentally make a joke that's too offensive

It happens

But usually they don't fucking double down

To be fair to them

[near wasp]

Never gonna get over god and his congaline of selfservice

[opaque coyote]

Hughie suffering in general is a punchline

We laugh when it's avoidable but unfortunate

Or just unfortunate

Rather than actual assault

[civic gale]

hello

whats the main topic round here?

[opaque coyote]

Hi

The Boys™

Kinda was just talking about S4

[civic gale]

never watched it

[opaque coyote]

Ah

You should

Unless if you have like

A weak stomach

Then don't

[civic gale]

dont wanna disrupt your convo with my questions, ill be back later sorry

[opaque coyote]

Nah nah dw

Go right ahead mate

Ask

Besides I don't think anyone else is here rn

[civic gale]

gotcha

[opaque coyote]

I was just finishing up my yapping

[nocturne crest]

Damn it. I just lose the game.

[civic gale]

so corvus ability was bassicly just "you cannot see me" but not because he was invisible, he just chooses who to be invisible to right?

"removing his presence" or something

[opaque coyote]

Yeah it's generally explained as some weird bullshit

But I just summarize and call it

Selective invisibility

Because it basically functions exactly like invisibility

Just that if Corax wants to

He can become visible to someone

[civic gale]

but to only who he chooses to

[opaque coyote]

Basically

[civic gale]

that'd be a funny way to prank your friends

they can see you but no one else can

[wintry cloud]

https://youtu.be/C_xO3puW1QA?si=LPNPvHCQNK2ADkT4

[civic gale]

oh shit

[opaque coyote]

But it's also worth noting that it isn't just invisibility

[civic gale]

i knew of that but finally it has a trailer

[opaque coyote]

It's just him forcing people to

Refuse to perceive him

So nobody would notice him say

Showing up on a thermal detector

[wintry cloud]

Yes

Im going to lose my job

Mindlessly playing this

[opaque coyote]

Because he actually does, but they physically cannot acknowledge it

It just wouldn't be seen

Ignored

Unless if he wants them to notice

[wintry cloud]

IS THAT CALGAR

YOOOO

[civic gale]

but like

i heard that if a drone tries to catch him (using drone as an example dunno why)

it can lock onto him as long as it is not manually

only sentient creatures cannot see him

or atleast i think i understood it like that

[arctic talon]

It’s a warp thing

It’s a psychic ability

[opaque coyote]

Yes.

He will show up on machinery

But the operator will assume it's faulty

So if an automatic drone does detect him

Then yeah it'll just shoot at him

[civic gale]

gotcha

[opaque coyote]

But if there is an operator, they would only see

"Why the fuck is it just shooting at air?"

[civic gale]

the droone shooting at nothing?

yeh

i wonder how it'd look from the other side

[opaque coyote]

From Corax's pov?

Basically just normal tbh

He just walks around and no one notices

But later on it got upgraded to him basically becoming a shadow

[civic gale]

you see a bunch of marines just omiously standing and suddenly your friend gets ripped in half because corax was right beside you

[opaque coyote]

And then a murder of crows

[opaque coyote]

They would basically act like Skyrim NPCs

[civic gale]

LMAO

[opaque coyote]

Corvus is just a stealth archer with 100 sneak basically

[civic gale]

"huh....must of been the wind"

[opaque coyote]

Literally

That is his power

It's honestly a pretty cool one

Although a bit too overcomplicated

Especially in explanation

Again, it's why I summarize it as selective invisibility

[civic gale]

yeh

of all primarchs

idk vulkan and corax seem to be the coolest

[opaque coyote]

In terms of pure looks

Magnus

I still have a soft spot for him

[civic gale]

tho vulkan....got the side effects of it heals physical injuries....not mental ones

i'd still be depressed that sucks (jk

[opaque coyote]

"Hey yo did he come back?"

"Yeah but uh..."

[fervent geode]

Curze better

[opaque coyote]

insert Vulkan screaming in agony

[civic gale]

https://tenor.com/view/dog-angry-rabid-gif-20257620

[opaque coyote]

"Give him a bit"

[fervent geode]

Get on my insanity level

[opaque coyote]

[civic gale]

vulkan

[opaque coyote]

I think my favorite is actually Guilliman because his super power is uh

Not killing himself

It's worth noting that most of the Primarchs. Both traitor and loyalist

Literally fucked off within 1k years

Except Vulkan who is supposedly regenerating

And Guilliman who got his ass beat and was in life support for like 10k years

Until Yvarine pulled the plug

And revived him

[near wasp]

The lion was just napping

[opaque coyote]

And honestly I think he wishes sometimes that Yvarine just fucking killed him

[near wasp]

https://tenor.com/view/shaq-wake-up-sleeping-basketball-gif-22752712

Oh for sure

[civic gale]

with the state of the emperium?

yeh

[opaque coyote]

Jaghati Khan: Went after Dark Eldar directly to the source

Leman Russ: Attempting to find a fruit to revive the Emperor within the warp

Lion:

[civic gale]

mf was like "so i've p much lost all my brothers, my dad is on his deathbed and this is my house rn (said house was through a fire)....why'd you bring me back" type shit

[opaque coyote]

https://tenor.com/view/bed-daniel-labelle-jump-in-bed-sleep-sleep-time-gif-16384901082448291556

[rose thorn]

Do… do people think that we use to live in an era of goblins and fantasy witches what

[civic gale]

yes

yes they do

[opaque coyote]

His furniture and things also was kept preserved as legendary relics and Calgar had to keep himself from being offended because it's literally his stuff

Like he sat on a chair that he owned and Calgar was sputtering

Attempting to like

Adjust to this legendary relic just casually being used

[rose thorn]

Alos, WHY IS THAT SOACE MARINE HOLDING THE GEORGIA FLAG

[civic gale]

as a chritian myself i can recoginse the church was......well fucked up does not do it justice

[opaque coyote]

Again Guilliman is my favorite precisely because he's the most normal and stable of the Primarchs.

Tbf the bar is really fucking low in that regard

But it is both darkly funny and also sad

That he's the last one

The least unique primarch

[civic gale]

isnt he the plain rice of the primarchs?

[opaque coyote]

Yeah.

But like plain rice. With the added spice of his turmoil from having to deal with THE IMPERIUM

[rose thorn]

I have no clue how people are falling for the ancient crusades propaganda in the big 2020s

[opaque coyote]

Makes it fried rice with lots of flavor

[jade holly]

I like Peter because he’s the most pessimistic petty and deplorable of them

[civic gale]

i wonder what'll be of 40ks future

[opaque coyote]

Probably all of them will die

Somehow

[arctic talon]

Tbf

[near wasp]

We won't know for 80 more years

[civic gale]

fair

[arctic talon]

The crusades were a clusterfuck lol

[opaque coyote]

And then 40k: AOS

[jade holly]

We know that the end of 40K is the eventual death of all

[arctic talon]

Anyone who thinks they were good

Is fucking stupid

[jade holly]

That’s literally the entire point

[civic gale]

old world end tide type shit?

[arctic talon]

No

Because whfb had hope

40k is built on the concept it’ll all die

Eventually

[jade holly]

Isn’t Valrak thinking we’ll see multiple primarchs this edition?

[civic gale]

eventually yeh

[arctic talon]

Daemon

[opaque coyote]

My personal idea is that the equivalent of an AoS for 40k will simply be a continuation of it's misery.

The Imperium is just split up into thousands and thousands of mini empires like the Holy Roman Empire

[arctic talon]

But yes

Next

Not this

[opaque coyote]

Since the Imperium in general parallels the fall of Rome

[jade holly]

I meant 11e when I said this edition

Cause we’re at the tail end of 10e
