🎪bruh-fart

[upbeat steeple]

bloodborne was just the bosses spamming a million moves that hit within ,5 frames of each other

[primal rapids]

And every enemy legitimately becoming more aggressive if you try to heal

[frail scaffold]

The reason we have it is cus rolling is risk free now

You need roll catches and shit if you can just spam roll and dodge 80% of attacks

Bosses will never be able to hit you otherwise

[upbeat steeple]

they went from everyones blocking everything to rolling

when the solution is to mix the two and have attacks that go through block

[frail scaffold]

Blocking was better

Unironically

[primal rapids]

Or bosses that won’t let you retaliate until they finish their 17-attack combo and give you one (1) second to attack before doing it again

[frail scaffold]

Why even have fat roll if its a deathwish anyway

Its pointless

[upbeat steeple]

or turning the fight into a bullet hell game at the second phase

star elden beast or wahtever that boss was

that auto track and hit you regardless

[frail scaffold]

And at least face paced worked for bloodborne when you had rally as an option, so you could be aggressive and actually be rewarded for it

[frail scaffold]

But no other game has rally so the fast paced nature of the game now is just cus it sells more

[drifting mantle]

Souls Games meet Trading Card Game

[frail scaffold]

Every boss needs bombastic over the top theme

Another trend ive fucking hated in these newer titles

[drifting mantle]

Not really something I complain about

[frail scaffold]

It makes the bosses who SHOULD have over the top themes stand out less

Its saturation

[placid sail]

k-pop is surprisingly popular among the youth, and which is extra surprising - among the caucasian youth, which is usually quite reclusive and hostile towards any foreign culture

since you know, muslims

[drifting mantle]

No Sir, I never goon

[minor cypress]

Wife spent the entire dlc schizo infodumping me about lore because she was pissed her husbando radahn chose a twink over her

I got an entire rant about how its not fair dudes get ranni but she can't have radahn ending

[primal rapids]

To be fair I don't think Radahn had any choice in the matter.

[naive bison]

???????

[minor cypress]

At least Mogh beat the allegations, i think

[primal rapids]

The entire reason Malenia nuked Caelid was because Miquella wanted Radahn and Radahn was like "Nah, Imma chill with my horse and my army."

[minor cypress]

Japan is known for their culture exports

[drifting mantle]

But she at least can ruin it for the twink

[primal rapids]

And then Radahn got resurrected in Mohg's body and was probably immediately mind-whammied by Miquella if it was even Radahn at all at that point

[minor cypress]

Man wants to chill with dog in wilderness, gets god rot nuked

[primal rapids]

TL;DR everything in Elden Ring is some mix of Marika's, Ranni's, and Miquella's fault

[drifting mantle]

Women...

[minor cypress]

Its like the original "Hey date was nice but im not interested" nuke

[drifting mantle]

(and twinks)

[shell venture]

elden ring doesn't have breast milk potions

[primal rapids]

I mean, Miquella and Marika both have a genderbent alter-ego

[placid sail]

nah dog k-pop is korean shit, hence the k

[drifting mantle]

Yeah, but at least Marika's tried to fix things... Miquella Idk... I thought that was always a dude

[minor cypress]

Plus wouldn't the mogh/rahdan/miquella triangle technically make it necro incestual twink mindcontrol? Either way, i want whatever miazaki was smoking

True, brainfart moment

[lusty sonnet]

Sounds like flop tbh

[primal rapids]

St. Trina is pretty directly implied to be female, though whether Trina is actually female is anyone's guess since by the time we meet her, she's half torso, half plant

[shell venture]

probably grr mortimus who wrote that

[drifting mantle]

Okay, so the alter ego is literally the sandman

Making you eepy

[minor cypress]

Oh yeah didnt miquella totally fuck over st trina?

[drifting mantle]

He did

[primal rapids]

Yeah. The Trina part of Miquella was Miquella's love and also his doubt

[drifting mantle]

All major characters that caused problems, were all schizos

[minor cypress]

Trina told him to not get no weed from the gas station, and he smoked the whole pack

[primal rapids]

Since Trina was probably like "ayo how about we DON'T rip ourselves apart" and Miquella tossed her into an abyss

[minor cypress]

He was just twinkbossing in his fugue state or something

[drifting mantle]

Schizos when the real you tries to talk, be like

[primal rapids]

It's ironic how the final boss of the DLC, Radahn, was probably the most faultless one in all of this since he never wanted to be Miquella's consort and was basically forced into it and brainwashed, after being resurrected into a body that wasn't even his

But I think literally everyone got fucked by the higher will and all the other gods.

Which is why I support Chaos. Just burn everything to the ground and start new

Mohg

[primal rapids]

Man literally got flung halfway through the Lands of Shadow, lost his legs, decided he wanted another round, fucking crawled halfway back up the mountain, saw our happy ass fight two dragons, was like "ah yes, a fellow man of culture," and gave us his own finger so he could have one last fight against BAYLE, VILE BAYLE, O TERROR INCARNATE

[wraith osprey]

The guy who sells shrimp

[minor cypress]

Mogh really got hit by Epstein island level allegations

[drifting mantle]

We have to make the greatest sacrifices in order to achieve something good

[slender kayak]

and ACTUALLY BEAT THEM

[wraith osprey]

That guy's cool

[primal rapids]

To be fair, even without the whole Miquella part, he was still a literally bloodthirsty psychopath

[slender kayak]

i dont think killing everyone and everything is something good man

[minor cypress]

Yeah but whats the difference between torching everything for the greater good, and doing whatever you want because its all fucked.

[slender kayak]

i feel like rannis method is a better way of wiping the slate clean

than just total everything genocide

[minor cypress]

Nihilism vs hedonism

[drifting mantle]

Letting everyone suffer, just for the sake of being alive isn't either

[primal rapids]

Ranni's or Goldmask's ending seems like the best, but we don't really know the wider scope of what would actually happen

And that's if Ranni's ending isn't actually the cause for Nightreign

[slender kayak]

goldmask is a coin flip on actually good and batshit insane

from what I can tell

[minor cypress]

I love how the deep lore is actually solid, but you never get it unless you watch a video or read endless items and tidbit lore

[primal rapids]

I think we can all agree that the Duskborn, Dung Eater, and Frenzied Flame endings are unequivocally bad endings though

[minor cypress]

Elden ring lore specs = 80 TISM, 40 int

[slender kayak]

except there is more than just suffering in the lands between despite how fucked it is, like it's more understandable to obliterate all of it than most settings but still

[slender kayak]

Dung Eater ending is so funny

[drifting mantle]

Frenzied Flame is literally just a whole reset of everything

[slender kayak]

"Lmao. All of you will be born malformed/cursed. Get fucked. Lol"

[minor cypress]

Wheres my ending where the aliens win

[primal rapids]

And Duskborn is basically "Hey, you wanna be a zombie? Too bad, you're going to be a zombie."

[minor cypress]

Let me go to their planet or cosmic shithole and fight their gods

[slender kayak]

and your reasoning for doing this is a homeless man thought it would be REALLY funny if you cursed everyone

[drifting mantle]

It's only a matter of time, until an event like the Dung Eater hits

[minor cypress]

At least he is honest

You get exactly what he tells you on the can

[shell venture]

madness ending is the best one

rest is mind control

[slender kayak]

yeah except dung eater dies in a fucking ditch and only through your intervention (extremely unlikely) does his wish ever get fulfilled

most insane people like that still end up dead before getting even close to marika

[minor cypress]

My first run i killed him because i read that quest requirement, noped out and wanted drip

[slender kayak]

"drip" mf it's a pile of shit

[primal rapids]

Age of Fracture is basically "everything's fucked and will continue to be fucked but hey at least the Erdtree is burning, the capital is destroyed, all the demigods are dead, and everyone can now permanently die again. Have fun."

[drifting mantle]

With the Frenzied Flame, you literally make new rules for the world.
You learn from past mistakes and create something entirely from scratch.

[slender kayak]

fair enough

[drifting mantle]

Every other ending is just Shit reloaded

[minor cypress]

What if the hidden message of elden ring is that loss and suffering is inevitable, and having a world with no loss leads to madness and bloat

[primal rapids]

What learning from past mistakes? You're causing raw, unfiltered Chaos to consume everything, and ruining any chance for anyone to have a normal, peaceful life.

[primal rapids]

Not to mention Melina will now be hunting you for the rest of time

[minor cypress]

Theres so much lore you can find deeper meaning in, but you know miyazaki just decided it went hard and gave no further fucks

[slender kayak]

Yeah by killing everything that lives, and even assuming you survive, you're an avatar of an insane fire god that probably isn't keen on "creating something entirely from scratch" that isn't just more pure suffering

[shell venture]

good

no more things to go bad

[minor cypress]

Who knows if its just another eldrich god messing around for fun

[placid sail]

how is that even a threat at all if bitch's riding your neck entire game asking you to do shit she can't do herself

[slender kayak]

the golden order is cringe but we shouldn't solve that with yet more unknowable gods

[drifting mantle]

Every soul returning to the Erdtress for exampel... That's how someone like the Dung Eater can interject and curse everyone forever...

If a fucking poop eating man is able to that... That means your rules fucking suck ass (literally)

[primal rapids]

What fucking Erdtree? The Erdtree is ON FIRE, with CHAOS FLAMES actively consuming it

[minor cypress]

As in got gaslit by his lover to think he wasn't suffering enough, so he got impaled and grew into his sword

[primal rapids]

I mean, it's basically the same message that's in every Souls game since Demon's Souls. Nothing lasts forever, and trying to MAKE it last forever inevitably just leads to more suffering and death than letting nature take its course.

[slender kayak]

see: the dragons in every entry

[drifting mantle]

It's madness because he wants to stop everything that's going on.
True insanity is, doing the same shit over and over again... Expecting shit to change.

So yeah, I DO believe the god of madness is actually the only one who can fix everything.
Just delete everything and start over. Create a paradise without all the flaws from the past world

[primal rapids]

Okay, but when has the Flame of Frenzy ever actually created anything?

[slender kayak]

the frenzied flame is not creating a mf paradise LMAO

[drifting mantle]

Yeah, the Chaos deletes the Erdtree. Again, the point is to rewrite the entire worlds rule set

[primal rapids]

Throughout the entire Lands Between, all the Frenzied Flame has ever done is corrupt and destroy what's already there

[drifting mantle]

How can you tell? We only see the deletion of said world... Not what comes after

[drifting mantle]

Bro, am I speaking Chinese??

DELETE EVERYTHING, CREATE NEW

Of course everything gets destroyed what we see in game!

[primal rapids]

And then there's the main servant of the Frenzied Flame, besides whatever poor sod becomes Lord, Shabriri. You know, the guy that tries to gaslight you while wearing the corpse of your fallen friend.

[drifting mantle]

That's literally the process

[primal rapids]

Okay, where's the create new part. Name ONE example of the Frenzied Flame creating ANYTHING new. Or even IMPLYING that it will create anything new.

[slender kayak]

no we just don't believe that the god of insanity and destruction would actually make an earnest attempt to create something new after the fact

let alone something good

you have drunk the flame koolaid.

[primal rapids]

You're basically saying "Trust me bro, the Frenzied Flame which corrupts and destroys everything it touches, will TOTALLY fix everything after it corrupts and destroys the world. We just don't get to see the paradise it creates after burning everything to the ground and driving everyone insane."

[drifting mantle]

Can't point to anything, because the game ends when this could happen.
Again, we only see the deletion of the world... While the main goal is to create something fro. Scratch.

If you delete a file, do you also delete parts of it and create something new there?
No, you delete absolutely EVERYTHING and then start over

[slender kayak]

LMAO

[primal rapids]

It's like saying the Dung Eater ending will improve things because suffering builds character and causing everyone to suffer will just accelerate the process towards a utopia

[minor cypress]

Frenzied flame enjoyers on that "no true communism has been done" cope

[slender kayak]

the frenzied flames vanguard party

[drifting mantle]

You guys keep repeating the same shit, while I hit the reset button

[minor cypress]

Its a monkeys paw curls situation, no matter what

You know, with everything being eternal and never truly dying, where the fuck are all the historians

[primal rapids]

Fuck all y'all, I'm leaving the Lands Between with my tiny manipulative mastermind blueberry princess. Gaslight, gatekeep, Godwyn suffering forever.

[drifting mantle]

The real solution to it all, would be to kill all gods

[minor cypress]

We do lol

[shell venture]

the real solution is killing grr martin

[drifting mantle]

Kratos, your turn

[minor cypress]

And it still ends in shit

We are literally john tarnished himmington

Assembled in his divergence

And it all goes to shit

[primal rapids]

So in other words, Goldmask's ending where you cut off the Greater Will's influence since he realizes gods are the problem and that humanity's destiny and the Golden Order should be solely decided by humanity?

[drifting mantle]

That is good, yes.
But there are still rules that can be fucked with.

[primal rapids]

"Rune discovered by the noble Goldmask.
Used to restore the fractured Elden Ring when brandished by the Elden Lord.

A rune of transcendental ideology which will attempt to perfect the Golden Order.

The current imperfection of the Golden Order, or instability of ideology, can be blamed upon the fickleness of the gods no better than men. That is the fly in the ointment."

[minor cypress]

When your best option for an ok ending is a mute schizo sunflower man

[drifting mantle]

Don't ask me how, I'm not a lore guy

[minor cypress]

Its funnier to pretend goldmask was totally retarded and that one follower for his quest wasted his entire life following around tposing sunflower

[primal rapids]

I mean, the Lands Between are still turbo-fucked no matter what we do. Godwyn's soulless corpse will still spread and infect everything, the Scarlet Rot will continue manifesting and rotting everything, the alien beasts of the stars will continue landing in the Lands Between since Radahn stops holding them back, and life continuing to be shit for everyone in general.

[drifting mantle]

The best ending is mass genocide of all life, end of story

[slender kayak]

"Oh Goldmask! What is your wisdom, oh pondrous one?"
"Uhhh, meet me tomorrow, across the continent."

[slender kayak]

assuming everything goes right for ranni/goldmask ending, godwyn is going to be like a mega lich for the next party of adventurers

the scarlet rot though?

yeah not sure what you can do about that lmfao

[minor cypress]

So we were major assholes for killing rahdan

[slender kayak]

you can at least kill the star beasts

the rot is just kind of there.

[minor cypress]

Or milk eyed fire bitch was for leading us to do that

[primal rapids]

"Oh noble Goldmask, I beseech you, bestow upon me your wisdom!"
Goldmask:

[minor cypress]

"No i'm not paying for your Torrent-dash trip. Fucking walk, you can't die."

[eager igloo]

https://tenor.com/view/jay69design-gif-1044933241895554367

[primal rapids]

I mean, killing Radahn is practically a canon event since it's required for a bunch of questlines including the DLC

You can beat the game without killing him, or going to the Snowfields and Haligtree, but that's true for any game where you can ignore major side content in favor of laser-focusing on the main quest.

[primal rapids]

I wonder how quickly a mod would get removed that changes the flag on the Jen Rowley (General Lee) to the Confederate flag

[strong cliff]

or pedo shit

[naive bison]

what is that?

what's the context?

isn't general lee a confederate general

[primal rapids]

Cyberpunk has a muscle car in it that's an obvious reference to the General Lee car from Dukes of Hazzard

[naive bison]

everyone responsible for fallout frontier mod should be shot

[slender rock]

yep

[ancient barn]

"Fragile", bro I don't need this gae propaganda

[naive bison]

what's the flag on it?

[strong cliff]

Propaganda

[primal rapids]

In the game, the NUSA flag. In real life, the Confederate flag.

[naive bison]

OHHHHH

JEN ROWLEY

GENERAL LEE

that's a good one

[strong cliff]

LMAO I didn't get it either damn

[naive bison]

i mean, it can be?

[strong cliff]

Solid ref

[naive bison]

like

wasn't the first last of us set on like halloween?

[placid sail]

one must imagine Sisyphus to be happy

[naive bison]

and then last of us 2 or something had pride flags everywhere

wouldnt make sense in october

you could make a case there for "propoganda"

[naive bison]

to be fair i like the cyberpunk version

i think it's similar enough btu also an in-universe version

[strong cliff]

I feel like getting upset over some rainbow capitalism is very fragile still, but I still get whatchu mean

[glad carbon]

rainbow capitalism is swag

[primal rapids]

I know, I just want to see someone try to mod it to be more accurate to the real life version and see how quickly they remove it

[naive bison]

getting upset over people removing it is just as much fragile imo

[glad carbon]

it atleast shows we're still profitable in current climate

[naive bison]

also

for cyberpunk

[strong cliff]

Luckily I ain't upset about jackshit

[naive bison]

i feel like the trans flag or whatever you said is in it

makes no sense?

[strong cliff]

[naive bison]

like

cyberpunk is a transhumanism society

i dont think you need like trans advocacy or whatever at that point

you can be anything you want

and it's socially acceptable

[strong cliff]

It's more pride than advocacy I think

[naive bison]

yeah you know what i mean

[strong cliff]

like the USA is accepted, you still see peeps with USA flags everywhere ?

Why would it stop ?

[naive bison]

like cyberpunk is at the level where it's completely normalized

[stoic girder]

Isn't the whole point that it's divergent history.

[naive bison]

there's no need

[primal rapids]

See, that's the thing. They want to acknowledge trans pride but at the same time it takes like two hours at a Ripperdoc to become the opposite gender in 2077.

[stoic girder]

None of those things existed.

[glad carbon]

the point is she doesnt have any cybernetics either iirc

[naive bison]

yeah but why
pride exists cause it's not a common thing right now

[primal rapids]

Bioware is a thing in Cyberpunk, people can and have gotten a brain transplant to an artificially grown, but entirely organic body.

[naive bison]

there's no heterosexual pride for a reason

cause that's the norm

being gei and having a cybernetic cock as a woman is also normal in cyberpunk

[primal rapids]

Granted, that's expensive as fuck but it's a thing.

[strong cliff]

I don't think it'd stop existing all of a sudden

[glad carbon]

[strong cliff]

It's only a few decades

[glad carbon]

still doesnt mean people arent gonna be prideful about stuff

[naive bison]

i mean as i said
if it's completely normalized - what's the point of advoacy

advocacy*

maybe we just disagree

but i hope you can see my perspective

[primal rapids]

Personally I'd go the opposite direction. FROM THE MOMENT I REALIZED THE WEAKNESS OF MY FLESH, IT DISGUSTED ME

[naive bison]

it's like having black lives matter marches in Wakanda

[primal rapids]

I CRAVED THE STRENGTH AND CERTAINTY OF STEEL

[naive bison]

whats the point

[naive bison]

oh fuck yeah cybernetic enhancements are cool

[strong cliff]

I see it more like having an USA flag up in the USA

[naive bison]

BUT

[primal rapids]

I ASPIRED TO THE PURITY OF THE BLESSED MACHINE

[strong cliff]

why ?

[stoic girder]

The whole cyberpunk universe is completely different from real life from 1990s onwards.

[strong cliff]

Because lol

[naive bison]

scary to have

in cyberpunk universe

[strong cliff]

Why tf not is the answer

[naive bison]

in cyberpunk you get a cock mod and it malfunctions and explodes

[placid sail]

here, have some scrap code toaster boy

[strong cliff]

Also, I'm not an expert on trans rights in the Cyberpunk universe and people can be pretty fucking dumb and mean, so maybe even with all that transhumanism mumbo jumbo, there's still a lot of hateful people in society and advocacy is still somewhat needed though less than today

I don't think you have to justify a bit of pride flags in a setting, ESPECIALLY a capitalist one

[naive bison]

yeah i dont think so at all

[primal rapids]

Also, you can have and eat your cake in Cyberpunk. There are full body cybernetic replacements called Geminis that are functionally identical to a normal organic body in every way but still have all the advantages of being a borg. You need a specialized scanner to even know someone's in a Gemini body.

[naive bison]

literally every corner of night city has like

[strong cliff]

As we all know, people's bodies are commodities in Cyberpunk, whether you're trans or not doesn't matter

[naive bison]

prostitutes

male and female

[strong cliff]

They're beyond caring I think, and it goes both ways

[glad carbon]

yeah idk i think xalrider just doesnt like that flag for some reason

its a very weird hill to die on

[naive bison]

???

ok dude

[primal rapids]

Fun fact about the Gemini bodies, Adam Smasher has a Gemini body that looks like a blonde, buff Elvis that he uses when he feels like fucking.

[naive bison]

wait is that in the game

[glad carbon]

you dont have to justify every tiny addition with lore :3

[primal rapids]

He also used it to smash Michiko Arasaka, who has a private military company composed entirely of catgirls.

[strong cliff]

I kinda get it in TLOU2 because of the time period and all, it kinda makes sense, but in Cyberpunk I truly go think not one flag is out of place, like, nothing feels out of place in the setting as far as I'm concerned, but I have a high tolerance for these things because it takes way more than a flag to upset me

as long as it makes sense in context, go wild

[slender rock]

@weak jackal

[primal rapids]

It's in the Cyberpunk 2020 and Cyberpunk RED books for the tabletop.

[naive bison]

wait what's your take on the last of us 2 thing?

[quaint ore]

they dont call him adam smasher for nothing

also pmc entirely of catgirls sounds like a shitty porn game plot

[strong cliff]

Huuuhh

Got a banned message again

which word was the evil one

Okay, it's g*y

Put nazi shit in your game if it's about nazis, put confederate shit in your game if it's about confederates, put ghey shit in your game if there's ghey people in it, why care that much...

That's what I was trying to say

[heady crow]

no, grok was just tired of people calling his mod gei

too bad the f slur isnt allowed to be said here 🙄

or wait

@grizzled meadow can i use the f slur

[primal rapids]

Also, Cyberpunk for all it tries to stay on the Sci-Fi end of things, did have legit psychics and actual factual magic

[strong cliff]

I'm gonna try

I'm bi so I have the f word pass

Alright HERE I GO

[weak jackal]

waow

[strong cliff]

inhales

[weak jackal]

they gothified bela

[quaint ore]

It's extremely ironic to me how these games try to depict likes of Johhny Silverhand which strongly oppose croney corporatism as "Insane"

[strong cliff]

OK, you can't.

[proven crown]

I don't care so long as it's not the only flag in the game

[slender rock]

yep

[slender rock]

there's more

[naive bison]

having swastikas taken out of WW2 games like COD is so fucking stupid btw

[quaint ore]

when they have a quite sensible idea though radical methods

[strong cliff]

I think the insane part about Johny Silverhand is his methods more than his politics

[slender rock]

I agree

[naive bison]

didn't like battlefield or COD set in ww2 have black viermacht soldiers?

cod took out swastikas i think

Talking about the black nazis lol

[quaint ore]

as surprisingly, nazis thought black people were subhuman

[heady crow]

@quaint ore repost

[glad carbon]

which was cool if you wanted specialized units as skins

[quaint ore]

I am saying it was a very fucking out of the line case

[primal rapids]

To be fair, Johnny Silverhand is also an asshole narcissist who regularly cheated on his girlfriend, deserted from the army, shot random innocent people, stole his dead friend's identity from the army, killed thousands of innocent people when nuking Arasaka Tower, and so on.

[strong cliff]

also hii @glad carbon

[glad carbon]

still had generic nameless footsoldiers too iirc

[naive bison]

yeah i remember that myth about hitler treating that black olympic sprinter well but iirc it wasnt the case at all

[strong cliff]

yeah, as I said, Johny is not crazy because he's anti-capitalism, he's crazy cuz he's fucking crazy

[naive bison]

"innocent"?

[quaint ore]

peak

[strong cliff]

yeah it's a myth to try and humanize him, which is always funny to me

Hitler had many friends, he doesn't need any more

[naive bison]

honestly if you want diversity in ww2 games

[heady crow]

1.5l water bottle is still the best pillow ive slept on

[naive bison]

MAKE LIKE A BUNCH OF MISSIONS ABOUT FEMALE SOVIET SNIPERS

WE HAD THE BEST ONES

[glad carbon]

can you be my pillow

[primal rapids]

Also, Johnny was so narcissistic that he rewrote his memory on how he died during the Arasaka Tower debacle. In the actual lore, he didn't have a dramatic standoff with Adam Smasher. Adam Smasher instantly killed him with his shotgun minigun, promptly forgot about him while chasing Morgan Blackhand, the actual important person during that whole thing.

[quaint ore]

I think hitler is already horrifying as is if you actually read his actual biography and how he went from a literal homeless soldier to a person with a cult of personality which conquered almost all of europe

[heady crow]

thats why i go to the gym

[strong cliff]

Just play the canadian army, they had black people, natives and French Canadians on the front (so they could die first)

[glad carbon]

shouldve gone from hollywood b lister to cult of personality

[strong cliff]

almost surprised the word French isn't censored

[naive bison]

LOOOOOKA

[quaint ore]

You talking Donny T?

[primal rapids]

I doubt Adam Smasher even remembers Johnny outside being a minor annoyance and speedbump in his one-sided rivalry against Morgan Blackhand.

[glad carbon]

perchance

[strong cliff]

that's exactly it

[idle veldt]

Mayhaps

[stoic girder]

How sure are we this isn't state sponsored propaganda?

[strong cliff]

He remembers it, but not like a rival or anything

[glad carbon]

i thought morgan nuked arasaka tower anyways

[strong cliff]

Just like a nuisance

a minor annoyance

[ancient barn]

Ah yes

[glad carbon]

johnny is just tweaking and thought he did

[naive bison]

idk read the official archives?

[strong cliff]

Did he ?

[naive bison]

see for yourself?

[ancient barn]

A nuke going off is a minor nuisance

[naive bison]

why are u asking me

[strong cliff]

I think Morgan was there but Johny did do it

[shell venture]

borderlands 2 sniper

[strong cliff]

I mean, Arasaka wanted revenge against HIM specifically

[glad carbon]

idk didnt he think some of morgan's actions were his

[strong cliff]

What he's tweaking about is the circumstances

He wasn't a hero doing a noble sacrifice

but an insane mf who died like a little bitch

[strong cliff]

Yeah, like fighting Adam

Johny didn't fight for shit he just instantly got owned

[primal rapids]

Cyberpunk 2077 also did Shaitan dirty. Shaitan was a massive badass that fought Adam Smasher on equal terms for a while before being defeated but it's never actually confirmed if he died since he's a fullborg. He absolutely did not get shot like a chump while still in the helicopter.

[strong cliff]

But he did bring the bomb, I think

That's why Arasaka wants revenge against HIM

That's how I remember it BUT I might be wrong

been a little while

[strong cliff]

then again isn't that in Johny's memories ?

And Johny's memories make it seem like he's a badass so everyone around him is lesser

I'm sure the actual story didn't have Shaitan dying like that

Must've gone with a fight

[sour carbon]

[primal rapids]

The only thing Johnny brought to the table was his Malorian which is one of the few guns in the tabletop ruleset that could actually do more than scratch Adam Smasher's paint. Didn't really matter though since Johnny was still mostly organic and way out of his league when compared to Smasher, Blackhand, or Shaitan.

[strong cliff]

Yeah but still, wasn't he the one to make the bomb explode in the end ?

If he's not, then why does Arasaka hate him so much ? Are they just... wrong about who to blame ?

[shell venture]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/314787252389543937/1179497722252902400/attachment.gif

[strong cliff]

I mean, they could be, I guess

[primal rapids]

No. Morgan did. Johnny got turned into hamburger meat by Smasher in a half-second and then was mostly forgotten about in the chaos.

[drifting mantle]

Listen to Vegeta

[arctic estuary]

Ircc when you kill Adam smasher in 2077 and tell him that jhonny sends his regards he replies "who?"

[strong cliff]

So the flashback with the Arasaka woman being like "You killed my husband you fucking piece of shit, now suffer for eternity as a robotic soul-thing" was a fake memory too ?

[primal rapids]

Arasaka doesn't really hate Johnny besides him being a minor nuisance and part of the Arasaka Tower raid. His engram was mostly an excuse to try to find information on Morgan Blackhand.

[naive bison]

is that real by the way? was terry davis actually emailing threats to the CIA?

[ancient barn]

Dark souls, revolves around the soul. Bloodborne, eyes on the inside and infected blood, elden ring, Fingers

[strong cliff]

Ohh I see

[shell venture]

he was assassinated by cia wym

[strong cliff]

But the woman must've still hated him specifically I guess

[primal rapids]

Yeah, that was fake. Johnny was dead-dead before that. His corpse was stolen by a med-tech in the chaos and it was this whole thing.

[strong cliff]

Maybe he was the one to shoot her husband

Oh okay

So all fake

Huh.

[naive bison]

the CIA contact form must be the best CIA psyop of all time
imagine it's a fake non-functional form just for schizoids to vent into

[drifting mantle]

Adam Smasher is one of the best characters of all time and everyone who disagrees deserves to be visited by him

[strong cliff]

Johny is really fucked up in the head ain't he.

[arctic estuary]

There is a whole story in cyberpunk red where you recover jhonnys actual body

[strong cliff]

YOU LOOK LIKE A SLAB OF FUCKABLE MEAT

[shell venture]

they did setup a star wars forum to send secret messages

[primal rapids]

To be fair, it's hard to tell what was Johnny's narcissim, what was him misremembering shit during 50 years of isolation in a digital torture chamber, and what was Arasaka fucking around with his engram to see how it ticks

[strong cliff]

Ooooohhh I guess making him think he's Blackhand WOULD make him reveal things about him, yeah

that kinda makes sense

[arctic estuary]

Also his engram was already damaged when v put it on his head

[strong cliff]

[primal rapids]

And then damaged AGAIN when Dex shot V

[strong cliff]

So I thought it was like 50% lies and fake shit but it's actually 90% lies and fake shit

damn

[arctic estuary]

Yeah the books tells the whole thing better

[strong cliff]

Fucking love this game's thematics, gotta say

[arctic estuary]

There is a theory that alt has a new body or some shit

[strong cliff]

A game about grief and the fear of dying and making peace with one's own death

That's pretty fucking rare

[naive bison]

i coudlnt get into it that hard to be fair maybe its me

[strong cliff]

Nah I kinda get it

[idle veldt]

I do not think it’s a good game

[drifting mantle]

Who did this? Who caused this??

[strong cliff]

It does suffer from open world fatigue

BUT the story is quite good

And I love the themes as I said

[naive bison]

idk the entire storyline with Jackie

[drifting mantle]

People should talk about Balatro lore

[naive bison]

like half of his on-screen time are time-passing montage of them being best pals with v

[strong cliff]

Balatro has deeper lore than Dark Souls, it's too hard to get into it

[primal rapids]

Things weren't exactly perfume and roses after the Arasaka Tower thing either. Not just the short term effects of setting off a nuke in a city. The Corporate Wars heated up again, the sky literally turned red from pollutants in the air as a SIDE EFFECT, people were starving in droves because people were too busy dying to work in the fields and the fields were being polluted and poisoned as yet another side effect

[idle veldt]

So there’s this thing called poker

[primal rapids]

When people talk about eating kibble in Cyberpunk, that's not slang. People were LITERALLY eating dog food because it was all they could find and afford.

Shit was very dark.

[naive bison]

i genuinely couldnt understand why people think youre supposed to care about jackie dying

[arctic pawn]

real

[naive bison]

hes in the game for like 5-10% of it

[arctic pawn]

based game finished it more than 5 years ago

[primal rapids]

Yeah, the whole section with Jackie should've been a lot longer to form an actual attachment with Jackie

[arctic pawn]

might play it again

[naive bison]

he probably has as much on-screen time as dexter deshawn

or that netrunner girl

[strong cliff]

Yeah no Jackie was rushed

[arctic pawn]

dexter deshawn?

[strong cliff]

Should've let us spend more time with him

[arctic pawn]

ah the big fella from cyberpunk

[naive bison]

[strong cliff]

Cuz he's actually cool and likeable but the game rushes it and forces you to try and like him

it's weird

[naive bison]

yeah big black dude with dreads

[arctic pawn]

he's cool

[arctic estuary]

Jackie's funeral was well executed imo. With his back story and misty

[arctic pawn]

too bad he's a rat

[drifting mantle]

Eating dog food isn't the worst food in a dystopia where you can't afford shit

[strong cliff]

The whole game's intro suffers from too much railroading and ellipses

[naive bison]

and then kills him off

[strong cliff]

I feel like if we could've spent at least 10 hours with Jackie, then his death would've hit

[primal rapids]

That's if you were eating at all during the Time of the Red. Many were simply starving to death.

[naive bison]

Roland dying in borderlands 2 hit waaaay harder

[strong cliff]

Make us meet his mother, his boss and everything naturally, not through a cutscene, etc.

[naive bison]

or even bloodwing

[strong cliff]

Yeahj

For good reason

[naive bison]

those are well executed character kill-offs

[primal rapids]

It's also why I have a lot of respect for Viktor, besides him being a real G. Viktor lived through all that shit in the Time of the Red when many didn't.

[strong cliff]

[naive bison]

cause you LITERALLY SAVE THE WORLD IN THE FIRST GAME WITH THEM

or as them

[drifting mantle]

Sounds like dog food was gourmet level shit back then

[naive bison]

and then they die at the end suddenly and abruptly

It makes Viktor even more of a G, because of all the shit that he went through during the Time of the Red, no one would have blamed him for having more of a "fuck you, got mine" attitude and kicking V to the curb after the whole biochip disaster or refusing to operate on V without money.

now do i get the f slur pass

[primal rapids]

Even with the DLC ending, my favorite ending by far is still Don't Fear the Reaper. No one fighting and dying for you. No selling your soul or someone else's. Just nutting up, grabbing your biggest guns, and fighting the entirety of Arasaka Tower alone.

[shell venture]

yes

[drifting mantle]

Give us the lore!

[arctic estuary]

The power fantasy ending that doesn't make sense because arasaka would ice you as soon you'll get into the tower

But cool none the less

[strong cliff]

Well, there are people like Adam Smasher that would need an entire army to kill in lore, as stupid as that sounds, that's the kind of "power levels" you can get in the Cyberpunk universe, and that's the level V gets to

[primal rapids]

To be fair, any ending that involves fighting Adam Smasher is a power fantasy. Even if you weren't on your deathbed. Adam Smasher is the "rocks fall, everyone dies" of Cyberpunk. No one leaves the slaughterhouse. You're done.

[strong cliff]

So it "makes sense" in this way

[grizzled meadow]

Grok doesn't want people to use the word in a bad way, example: "this mod is gay"

[strong cliff]

If you can kill Adam then you can kill Arasaka

That's how strong you have to be to kill Adam

now, does V getting THAT strong make sense ? dubious

but they're the game's protag, so

A bit much ain't it?
Now people just use gae and get annoyed when they forgot (like me, multiple times)

[primal rapids]

Running into Adam Smasher in Cyberpunk is like running into the Lady of Pain in D&D/Forgotten Realms. That's it. You're dead. Do not pass go, do not collect $200, start rolling your next character.

which makes the summer even hotter

I also can't open one of my windows to let air in because one of my dogs chews on literally everything including window screens

Which do you think is worse, The Thing, The Flood, Necromorphs, or Xenomorphs?

The big ‘ol sleepies got me

i dont think i know the flood

From Halo

[arctic pawn]

never played halo once in my live

any of the games

what is it, literally a sea of aliens?

[fluid epoch]

Either Flood or The Thing. Probably The Thing as at least you can tell what everything else is

[arctic pawn]

liquid ET

[quartz ridge]

Seeing him again makes me depressed

[primal rapids]

The Flood is an infectious fungal lifeform that assimilates the knowledge and skills of anything it consumes and grows collectively more intelligent

At its highest level, it can manipulate quantum physics to warp reality

I think it's called neural physics.

I think I would prefer fighting the Flood over Necromorphs though. Flood can only really do psychic shit to you after you're consumed or dead, Necromorphs can drive you insane just by proximity to a Marker

This makes me uncomfortable.

I don't think the Thing is that smart or as smart as humans at least. If it is, it did a really shitty job of infiltration and survival.

[stoic girder]

I think there is a the thing short story from the things perspective.

[primal rapids]

Or at the least, isn't willing or forward thinking enough to play the long game

[quaint ore]

[arctic pawn]

the mapped a living being to simulate exactly what his reaction would be

they*

dont remember the explaination rn

[stoic girder]

The Things, by Peter Watts

[arctic pawn]

but they choose this creature bc the "nervous system" were simpler

or some shit like that

[primal rapids]

Though if any sort of infective hivemind was willing and able to play the long game, we'd be turbo fucked

[arctic pawn]

if there is alien psy op forget about it

jsut take the blue pill

and be happy

[stoic girder]

If there were aliens I would think they would think of us like we think of dolphins.

[naive bison]

wtf is this

[primal rapids]

Reminds me of the theories about reality being a simulation and even if it was, the possibility that us realizing it's a simulation is in itself part of the simulation and accounted for

[stoic girder]

"Neat, put it in a zoo."

[naive bison]

im pretty sure thats a rick and morty episode bro

[stoic girder]

Anytime we proof it's a simulation just reset and remove the proof.

[naive bison]

worse in what way?

scarier?

more dangeous?

[primal rapids]

Scarier, more of an existential and physical threat, I guess

[naive bison]

i think it has to be between the thing or the necromorphs

[arctic pawn]

a pc simulating a lil creature and his nervous systems

[naive bison]

probably the thing?

i forgot how necromorphs work

iirc they are like

[arctic pawn]

its the 1st time we managed to replicate it exactly as it should

biologically

[naive bison]

because of the emissions of the giant obelisk things right?

[arctic pawn]

or some shit like this

[quaint ore]

If I were an alien I wouldnt attack a research base, cause if anything these mfs will find a way how to end me faster

[arctic pawn]

idk 100%

[naive bison]

meanwhile the thing is literally infectious and murderous

[primal rapids]

I think Xenomorphs would probably be the least threatening of that list though. For all they're scary, they don't seem capable of higher thought to the degree the others are, or at least never demonstrated that to my knowledge

[stoic girder]

They lose to a carpet bomb.

[naive bison]

reminder of the best scene in history of the Alien franchise

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IS2PtmM9mwU

entire scene is just numbers going down but holy shit is it impactful

BUT

it is a couple turrets mowing down shitloads of xenomorphs

[primal rapids]

The Markers transmit a signal that causes paranoia, hallucinations, violent hysteria, and for those that are academically or technologically inclined, knowledge and indoctrination to create more Markers

[naive bison]

yeah and they also convert people into xenomorphs no?

[primal rapids]

Necromorphs, and yeah, when they die in proximity

[naive bison]

necromorphs right

[naive bison]

but yeah i feel like thats waaaay less dangerous than the thing

[primal rapids]

The conceit of why humanity wants to interact with the Markers in any way is the Markers are apparently capable of producing nearly unlimited energy. Because for some absolutely fucking stupid reason, humanity is facing an energy crisis in Dead Space. When they have mass-produced, technological telekinesis and time manipulation, can crack open entire planets to mine for resources, FTL travel small enough to fit in shuttles, and all the necessary technology to make fucking dyson spheres

[naive bison]

bro just imagine the hallway in that aliens scene

like 50 xenomorphs on top of eachother if not more

[primal rapids]

Necromorphs when they reach sufficient mass also turn into giant meat moons capable of interstellar travel

[naive bison]

the fucking gigantic crator of acid

[naive bison]

i still think the thing is more dangerous just cause of the infiltration factor

even animals can be the thing

[primal rapids]

Like, that's the end stage of the necromorphs, becoming entire fucking meat moons that can send Markers far and wide to infect other victim species

[primal rapids]

Animals can be necromorph'd. The fast, small necromorphs in DS3 were dogs

You also see and fight necromorph'd aliens in DS3

[naive bison]

idk to be fair

i think humanity is equally fucked

The mimics are smart but I don't know if you could call them sapient. For example they like to disguise themselves as guns or medkits to encourage people to try to grab them, but whether it's because they're smart enough to know what looks valuable or because because it's worked before, I'unno

it is a complete dogshit game

feels like asset flip

[stoic girder]

They are essentially a trap, I mean if you could make a 30 meter pylon that just gives you infinite energy, why wouldn't you?

[primal rapids]

Because you can have fucking dyson spheres that can also give you infinite energy without driving everyone around it insane or ticking time bombs?

Dead Space has solar panel technology. They have ships that can move fucking planets. They should have absolutely no issue with energy. They do because REASONS.

[stoic girder]

Markers also seed planets.
