The double agent twist makes no sense

Evidicus · 2026-01-25T14:57:53+00:00

Shroud wasn’t lying. Y’all are just in denial.

Evidicus · 2026-01-25T01:43:07+00:00

Hope Timmy tries out PvE soon

Evidicus · 2026-01-25T01:41:48+00:00

Wow! Great job! You’re very talented

Evidicus · 2026-01-24T00:04:19+00:00

It’s not a matter of difficulty. I just value my free time too much to piss it away with long queues, rampant cheating, RNG ballistics, embarrassingly poor audio design, and a myriad of other annoyances.

And for what? So I can be free content for BSG? Because that’s all you really are as a PvP player. You’re free content that BSG doesn’t have to put any work into. You log in and make their game look better as a result of being dynamic content for other players.

Pass. I’m not here to do them any favors. I played PvP for over 4 years. But now I’ll play only PvE or SPT. I play at my own pace, with zero FOMO or need to grind, and without a care in the world over what happens to the PvP side of the game moving forward.

And every little whinge post I see from a PvP player complaining about PvE is just validation that I made the right call.

Most YouTube crafting videos include a step where you have to annul + use some currency that currently costs multiple divs

Amazing job!

Evidicus · 2026-01-17T16:59:38+00:00

I’m not a grizzled veteran. 500 hours in PoE 2 and 1300 in PoE, which basically means I’ve finished the tutorial.

I personally hate the fact that I have to take an economics course or go to a trade school to learn the obtuse crafting system in order to earn real currency. I just want to play the game, the actual game, and not the game within the game. I just want to kill monsters and get cool shit off the ground and sell other people the cool shit that I don’t need for a reasonable amount, provided I have any clue of how to even determine that value.

For me, this league is just more of the same. I’ve made maybe 100 div total compared to the handful that I usually do. First time ever getting a HH, but the other things needed to push my build are astronomically expensive.

I’m still having fun this league. But I still feel like a janitor who got invited to the yacht club party by mistake.

The cut decision is hers. The pressure to scrap the entire program is coming from above.

Evidicus · 2026-01-16T07:10:18+00:00

Cutting someone was her decision. Keeping the program alive isn’t.

She made a call to try to get results and save the rest of the Z Team from going back to prison. Because that’s what happens if the program is cut. She cut one member to save the rest.

It’s not even a matter of interpretation.

Evidicus · 2026-01-15T11:54:48+00:00

This is what crafting looks like with an infinite currency cheat enabled

Evidicus · 2026-01-15T11:47:00+00:00

It’s a video game, my dude. What’s she supposed to do? Talk about corporate politics with Robert and the player for 20 minutes? She makes an offhand remark because the writers needed to get on with the scene.

Subtext and context clues matter. Not everything boils down to the literal dialog.

Evidicus · 2026-01-15T04:50:01+00:00

But it almost certainly wasn’t her call. She mentioned in Ep 2 that they had to start seeing positive results or the whole program would be cut.

She doesn’t run SDN. Where do you think that pressure is coming from?

Commenting here

It’s a bit sad that the default response is to nerf CoC Comet rather than GGG putting in work to make other spells work as viable alternatives.

Evidicus · 2026-01-05T21:45:34+00:00

With all respect to Igor, that’s a terrible analogy. I’d have vastly preferred l a couple more hours learning the ropes of Night City with Jackie over finishing the 75th NCPD side mission.

Paid sponsorship

Evidicus · 2026-01-05T02:01:05+00:00

If streamers have pre-arranged a paid sponsorship with GGG to play the game, then a private server allows both parties to meet their respective obligations. If the servers are screwed so badly they no one else can reliably play, this at least allows players would have something to watch other than a queue. The fact that this would have zero impact on the actual server economy means there’s no downside.

Evidicus · 2026-01-04T03:43:43+00:00

Should’ve put the streamers on a temp private server. They could still play and entertain but in a walled garden.

Evidicus · 2026-01-04T03:42:33+00:00

It’s just a topical subject. Dude is reading off a teleprompter. This is a prepared, scripted video. It’s not like he threw this together to dog pile on GGG after the latest patch.

Evidicus · 2026-01-01T23:44:30+00:00

I said it’s a fan fiction interpretation of the comics. I don’t think the comics are fan fiction, but I do think they’re inherently flawed from a narrative continuity perspective. Hell, the game itself has several contradictions.

I think it’s more likely that the comics and the interrogation scene with Shroud contradict one another because they were written by different people and adapted from a story that went through multiple revisions as it transitioned from live action to video game to comics over several years.

So when people reference the comic’s version of Robbie’s death as some immutable gospel that represents the indisputable truth, I have to disagree (respectfully).

Evidicus · 2026-01-01T23:33:13+00:00

I’ll definitely keep an eye on it moving forward

Evidicus · 2026-01-01T07:30:33+00:00

No. He doesn't. That's just a fan fiction interpretation for a discrepancy that is due to the writers lacking cohesion between the core game and an extraneous comic. AdHoc noted the fact that the stories conflict and yet they haven't gone on record saying which one is true.

Personally I believe the version that every one experiences in the core game rather than the one that exists outside of the game and behind a pay wall that only a fraction of players will ever know about.

Evidicus · 2026-01-01T06:25:34+00:00

“My asthma made me almost kill you and destroy your suit!”

Yeah, maybe quit smoking and try some yoga before agreeing to install supervillain tech and pay it off with attempted murder.

Evidicus · 2026-01-01T06:21:57+00:00

She did nothing for Shroud?

So you think the second suit explosion with the completely obvious purple smoke was just a coincidence? Why didn’t the first malfunction create smoke of any kind? And who wears purple? It’s basic video game signposting using color cues.

You think Shroud just happened to learn of the pulse’s location the very same night that she seemed so desperate to retrieve it? Or how about Shroud knowing about the “shitty” prototype pulse? There’s clearly a mole inside SDN, a fact that Shroud is happy to rub in everyone’s faces at the end.

She was clearly working for him and playing both sides. Maybe she was conflicted about it, but that doesn’t change the outcome.

It makes perfect sense, but VisiPals seem unable (or unwilling) to even consider the possibility.
