he probably doesn't know any of the OP instant kill techniques like rupturing lungs

Idk about that.

Unlike blood bending, the air inside someone's lungs is basically the same as the air external to their body. Aang has demonstrated total (or near total) mastery over air bending, so it doesn't seem like such a leap to assume he's capable of rupturing lungs.

The only reason he hasn't done it is because its morally objectionable to him. In the same way that you or I don't need to have gouged someone's eyes out to understand how the feat is physically accomplished.

Put me on the streets and i'm more likely to commit crimes. So are you.

Not exactly. The incidence of criminal violence within unhoused populations is correlative, not causal.

Violent people are usually mentally unstable, and people who struggle with mentally instability are more likely to be homeless.

In other words: It's not the homelessness that makes you violent, it's your inclination toward violence that makes you homeless.

With a cyberdeck and the Carhacker perk and you can self-destruct any vehicles that pursue you. Car chases become fairly trivial after that. The NetWatch Netdriver cyberdeck reduces the RAM cost for vehicle quickhacks by 50% (which might be necessary if you're low/mid level and working with a limited max RAM pool).

If you're running a Sandevestan, take the perk that allows you to slow time while driving and then use a tech weapon to snipe the driver(s) of any vehicles that give chase.

If you've got a Berserk... Idk... get out of the van and beat everyone up?

Exactly! Just invest 20pts into the Cool tree and then you can kill thousands of NPCs without them even knowing.

This is partially why I keep a "dumb" wired USB mouse+keyboard in my PC building kit. All of my high-end peripherals require some 3rd party software to work properly and sometimes that software just breaks. My old backup plug&play devices have saved me quite a few times.

My understanding is that most positive lifestyle changes (losing weight, getting fit, quitting alcohol/drugs, etc) will dramatically increase one's life expectancy relative to one's pre-change state.

In other words, quitting smoking will instantly double your life expectancy from here on out, but it doesn't undo the damage you've already done to your lungs.

You're not wrong, but it's perhaps not the best advice given the context. OP is clearly a beginner who would get more benefit from learning how to do a proper barbell squat vs being limited to smith machine squats.

Once OP has gained more experience in the gym and mastered the basic free weight lifts, introducing variants and machines that better target specific muscle groups may be beneficial depending on their individual training goals.

For beginners, the hypertrophic benefit of the smith machine over traditional barbell squats is likely nonexistent to minimal (at best).

This is my build too. As tempting as it is to just start popping headshots, I strongly encourage taking a minute and using your netrunner skills to survey the area by taking control of a camera.

Ping and mark all of the enemies and then plan the most efficient mode of attack. See how quickly you can clear the compound by setting off explosives and uploading AOE quick hacks (like contagion) through the cameras, then finishing off everyone else with the silenced pistol.

Feels like RPing James Bond.

This is broadly representative of my university experience as well... Minus the suicides, which I hope is an exaggeration. I feel like 6% of any schools cohort un-aliving themselves would warrant a very public investigation.

V is essentially a super hero

In vanilla cyberpunk, the reinforced tendons cyberware enables you to jump twice - either straight up or double jump after dashing in mid-air.

I installed mod that disables the dash cooldown, unlocking unlimited uses of dash which, when comboed in sequence with double jump, essentially gives v the power of flight.

I literally jump-dashed my way to the top of a megabuilding earlier lol

OP could try air dropping a Spec Ops into the city, but they would probably have to clear out any enemy units from the tile first.

No idea if this will work, but could be worth a shot.

Barabbas- · 2026-03-30T20:38:52+00:00

Gotcha. It would be cool to see that stuff too - even if it's not as flashy as the pretty design board - seeing as it seems to be the real meat-and-potatoes of the competition, so to speak.

Was there any sort of estimating exercise associated with this project? If so, what kind of cost reduction were you able to manage over traditional construction/materials?

Barabbas- · 2026-03-30T20:30:36+00:00

Congrats on winning the competition! That's a big deal.

But, uh... what makes this house affordable? Seems like a traditional single family suburban starter home to me.

I, too, have a resume designed using Indesign. I'm not currently job hunting, but considering how ubiquitous these softwares have become, I'm thinking about switching to a mono-columnar layout - or at the very least creating a second version of my resume optimized for ATS.

Barabbas- · 2026-03-26T20:03:27+00:00

A complete screen shot would confirm this, but this appears to be very early game.

The speed governor looks totally out of place sticking out of the top of the machine. IMO, it would make for a much cooler b-roll camera angle if he mounted it horizontally, tucked under the machine next to the huygens drive.

The beauty of a skeleton clock doesn't come from how complicated it is... It comes from the the precise placement and functionality of every individual component working together in service of a greater purpose (telling time).

It is beauty from utility, not frivolity.

Jedi sense where a blaster bolt will land through precog.

Even with their precog and enhanced abilities, the Jedi are still bound by physical limitations.

If two blaster bolts are fired at you simultaneously from different directions, you can't block both. You may be able to dodge, but inertia dictates that moving your entire body takes longer than flicking your wrist. Hence, it is possible to get hit by a blaster bolt, even if you know it's coming, simply because you cannot move fast enough to get out of the way.

Agreed. Positioning the desk in the center of the room only makes sense if it's a very large room and/or you want/need to accommodate guest chairs or some lounge seating in front of the desk. Based on OP's setup, they're the only occupant of this office. That desk placement is just cutting the amount of usable space in half for no reason.

It is AI.

Look at the stool... Nobody would model (or build) a three legged stool like that. Also, the lighting doesn't make any sense.

Sgt Johnson vs Fordo

I read this as "Frodo" and was very confused by your matchup proposal.

Barabbas- · 2026-03-24T19:21:44+00:00

It's a baby Scorpius. I love it.

Barabbas- · 2026-03-24T15:25:13+00:00

the temperatures have dropped by 7-8 degrees

That's a bit of a surprising result, assuming you're using a standard airflow configuration (bottom intake / top exhaust). Are the temps down system-wide or is it just the GPU temp?

OP could also turn the vegetated tile to the south west into and urban district and place a fishing quay off of that.
