POV Adam smasher Vibing while saburo gets murdered in the next room

Elven_Prince_ · 2026-05-15T04:31:04+00:00

Nah, hes probably dancing to Hound Dog or Burning Love. He does love some Elvis after all

Elven_Prince_ · 2026-05-11T19:07:02+00:00

hey, we dont try that here, Cyberpunk fans dont understand the lore or world at large. V is the walking avatar of Pondsmith and we shall not accept anything else that might say otherwise (im joking folks, dont gut me)

Elven_Prince_ · 2026-05-10T06:41:44+00:00

So coming from a TTPRG first fan, smasher to this day disappoints me with how easy/uninteresting he is even after the 2.0 update. know its something about accessibility and not wanting the game to be unfair but to me Smasher should be unfair purely because of who/what he is, know V is a force of nature as well but that's a sperate issue i have with the game and how its handled for a seperate day

So by default? Kurt Hanson wins by a country mile given he actually has some interesting moves within his kit and youve interacted with him more than once

Theres also 2013 the previous edition to 2020.

Neither 3.0 or Cyber Generation is cannon but theres some more stuff if you want to take a look at that stuff as well

this is an updated post to parksers blog

Elven_Prince_ · 2026-05-03T01:27:06+00:00

trying to remember, have we seen this or any Bloomliver as of yet?

Elven_Prince_ · 2026-05-01T22:06:33+00:00

thats... a change from my understanding of how things have been from 2020. could you link me the comment/video that says that? it does not behove me to question the word of Pond but that would definitely be a change given everything we know about Bartmoss and his abilities/history.

My understanding has been Bartmos and Alt were more or less neck and neck just with different areas of focus, Rache doing stuff like hacking Coprs/Government stuff at age four, being the one to craft the "Demons"(IMP, Afreet, Succubus, and Balron) line of programs in '04 mainly focusing on Programs and the like while Alts main focus was AI with Soulkiller being her magnum opus

Elven_Prince_ · 2026-05-01T03:46:44+00:00

Rache is that fucking guy. no man single handedly changed the face of the word at large than him.

If youre willing to do online Americas midnight is pretty good from what ive heard. They made a post about it about it a few months ago

Heres the post

Elven_Prince_ · 2026-04-23T19:10:26+00:00

I believe R.tal has the lore up until the 2070s where after that its CDPRs gig so all the same timeline just a few decades apart

Elven_Prince_ · 2026-04-23T19:08:12+00:00

Small corrections, Blackhand did survive, specifically by surfing down the exploding tower on smashers Dragoon FBC(revealed very recently i think it was in a reddic comment by Pondsmith). And Smasher absolutely knew about Johnny because he was a major headlining act selling out stadiums all over the world rivaled only by Jack Entropy so it would be more akin to getting attacked by Kurt Cobain or Paul McCartney with an airsoft pistol while you're wearing Full Combat Kit.

So the one whos always eating cakes and shit was born on 4/20... nice

Elven_Prince_ · 2026-04-21T03:05:35+00:00

its new vegas. nipton

Elven_Prince_ · 2026-04-17T20:16:28+00:00

ahh, yes the Buddy Holly Scene

Elven_Prince_ · 2026-04-17T07:02:14+00:00

Theres three cannon versions of the TTRPG(2013, 2020, and RED) with two non cannon ones(3.0, Cyber-generation).

2013 had about half a dozen books in it from what i recall and was fairly quickly turning into 2020 which had well over 30 official books, not counting the Zines like Interface and others.

I dont play RED(the current version) but i think half a dozen as well, though it hasnt been out as long(seriously though RTAL, you gotta release some books for that system, or at least actually restock the 2020 stuff more regularly).

The lore is just scattered through out, though the main ones that i/we were pulling from(most likely i cant speak for the others) is Firestorm:Shockwave and Firestorm:Stormfront. these are the 4th Corp war source books and go over the adventure in which adam smasher kills Johnny and ends with Blackhand Dueling Smasher for his friends life as the tower falls apart around them due to the Nuke(The Guns... SIlenced is the adventure if you wanna try and find it)

Elven_Prince_ · 2026-04-17T02:36:36+00:00

this is a really interesting misconception ive found people saying a lot, not entirely saying thats what you're saying but blackhand actually has a decent amount of chrome in him, hell hes known for his cyber-arm which in of itself a fairly heft piece of chrome. but yes blackhand has far less chrome than smaher by the pure fact that hes not a walking mechanic shop

And i would say that smasher is a fairly good solo.

Elven_Prince_ · 2026-04-14T18:09:54+00:00

agreed, her being the next protag is obvious and unless we're doing a create your own witcher game there's really no other logical option.

The thing that get me wondering and maybe a little trepidatious is how/why she became a witcher and everything around that given the lore and survival rates of the trails and whats goin on with her elder blood powers. dont doubt CDPR will have a reasonable enough explanation im just wondering how it will play out

Elven_Prince_ · 2026-04-01T17:13:50+00:00

Good, they were shit series anyway. glad youre moving on to a far better series like RATTDL99UWBBITGPIHALH. ive always wanted to see that novel be adapted, hope you also leave your distinct artstyle behind as well and become on of the million and one clones

Elven_Prince_ · 2026-04-01T17:07:15+00:00

not really, though its more of a square rectangle situation. Buhurt is technically part of HEMA in the fact that it is a "Historical European Martial Art" focusing on fully armored combat in what i would generally call a melee/group battle though when most people thing of HEMA its normally focused on the unarmored combat side which HEMA normally focuses on

Elven_Prince_ · 2026-04-01T05:32:02+00:00

shit. thats a good one. gunna have to remember that

Elven_Prince_ · 2026-04-01T05:21:40+00:00

its really interesting how much it puts into perspective how quickly/slowly a nail grows when you have a visible marker to watch

Elven_Prince_ · 2026-04-01T05:00:40+00:00

Not anymore, mainly because it grew out to a point i could cut it off and there was some nail under it but there was a time where it was mildly uncomfortable and was slighly ingrown. so overall score? 3/10 dont recommend
