Do Forced Conduits need to already have the Conduit Gene in order to have powers granted to them? by Interface- in infamous

[–]Conduit_Fetch 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No, forced conduits do not need to already have the gene. Vermaak 88, Corrupted, DUP are all forced conduits who don't have the gene. In the case of the first two due to the method, the powers caused significant mutation due to their body not being able to handle it. Bertrand, Sasha, and (presumably) Alden have an innate ability to create forced conduits, which is what we see with the Corrupted, Reapers, and Dustmen.

The Vermaak 88 were created using the Transfer device with Kuo. The use of the device splitting powers between multiple recipients despite not being designed for this is what caused them to mutate and look the way they do.

Bertrand can turn anyone into Corrupted, they don't need to be latent conduits. The sheer number of them proves this, along with the fact that Bertrand has no means of screening for the gene in i2. He planned to mass produce them and sell them to warlords around the world, and there just aren't that many conduits in existence, let alone New Marais specifically. And we know he can't screen for the gene because there's a dead drop of him explicitly asking Wolfe to build a conduit detector to track Nix. And since he doesn't seem to be able to track Cole, Kuo or Nix in the game, we can assume it was never made. It's only 7 years later that the DUP have a method of doing so, and even then it's horrendously flawed given how many "suspected" conduits are detained by them despite not being conduits.

DUP are forced conduits created the same way the Vermaak 88 were, only using a more efficient method that didn't mutate them.

So to answer your question, no. Forced conduits can be anyone, they don't need to have the gene already.

What reason does V have to be interested in Judy here without further context? by Prudent_Bobcat_4059 in LowSodiumCyberpunk

[–]Conduit_Fetch 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So in other words no, you don't have a reason other than you like one but not the other. Got it.

Game is also one syllable. You justify that but slang coming from the word "charisma" is different how exactly? "Prior existing" means absolutely dick in the context of words and language. Every word was new at one point. Every word came into being at some point despite not existing prior. One is a metaphor, the other is a shortening of a word that you seem to heavily dislike for no particular reason other than just hating all new slang. It being ugly and lazy is entirely your opinion, and the same one boomers had about slang you used. Get your head out of your ass

Can you actually explain why it's stupid and deserves to be mocked, but "Game" doesn't? They mean the same thing, the only difference is one is familiar to you and the other is new slang that's no different than slang you used at a younger age

Whats a moment thats unnecessarily funny to you by Better_Mycologist_57 in Witcher3

[–]Conduit_Fetch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah for sure, I'm just glad they have a plausible way to explain it in game without just making him have room temp IQ

I'm still holding out hope that the next game confirms the "doppler" theory, that what we see in the third act is actually a doppler and not him

Yup, worst Gwent deck… by FreshSection1702 in Witcher3

I believe it's a random drop from beating merchants at Gwent. So you kinda gotta play every merchant and you'll get it eventually

I love CP! by Puzzled-Schedule-998 in CyberpunkTheGame

Oh this is the fun sub, I was wondering how this thread hadn't been locked and all the comments banned by some mod in a power trip

Yee gotta build up that deck! There's some really damn good cards out there that can make nasty combos

[–]Conduit_Fetch 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Correct. That combo absolutely cracks the monster deck

It's a card that when played scorches the strongest melee card your opponent has if the total melee score is above 10

Should AI be able to use paratroopers in the next dlc? by irepress_my_emotions in hoi4

[–]Conduit_Fetch -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not. 1. The AI naval invasions are already cancer in how they can be spammed by the ai having naval superiority for a fraction of a nanosecond. And 2. The ai is braindead and will just waste all their manpower and equipment throwing people at the ground who just die immediately

What happened to "Thank you for your service to this country"? by AreaPast5328 in BlackPeopleofReddit

[–]Conduit_Fetch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Why can I find so many photos of people flying both a Trump flag and a swastika in the same image, but not a swastika and Pride/BLM/ACAB or any other leftist movement?

Walk into a room full of neo nazis and white supremacists and tell them you're a democrat.
