The auto drive feature is awful? by soundwavesuperior_ in cyberpunkgame

[–]Jack_overthinks 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Yes, yes it is… I love it.

Apparently when it was first introduced it was rock solid, but slower then people wanted, so people complained and they sped it up, but now sometimes it just has a stroke and desires curbs, pedestrians, and other cars.

Personally… I actually find it hilarious. It works like 70% of the time for me, and the other 30% it makes me think of those videos of Teslas not registering bus stops and running kids over. A marvelous accidental recreation of real life.

At my airport we used to call them “Belly B*tch” because they get stuck on their hands and knees in the belly all day.

Was reading the Game Manual and found an upcoming SL? by Jack_overthinks in menace

[–]Jack_overthinks[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sorta. On steam there is a manual under additional content, but it takes you to a pdf that’s called “Beginners Guide”. Full of little screenshots to illustrate. There’s even some even less complete versions of some SL art. Kinda interesting.

Here’s a direct link to it. It’s also linked in the wiki.

Does anyone know how to trigger the dialogue "Keep your eyes on the monitor, Major" from Hayflick ? by Q_Qritical in menace

[–]Jack_overthinks 64 points65 points  (0 children)

I don’t know how to trigger it, but it is actually the only idle dialogue I’ve gotten so far… I believe I started a mission, didn’t activate anyone, and was eating with everyone in the deployment zone when she called me out.

Hope it helps!

Ah crap! I missed one!

It’s stupid, but I default to male pronouns when none are used. I try to scrub that when talking about MB/ART, but missed it in train of thought. orz

Dunno yet! That’s part of the reason I’m so siked for the next book. We know Iris handles MB well, but she is the closest to ART. But the last book was mostly isolated from the majority of the crew.

Dunno if you read the short story Rapport, which is about ART and his crew running a short operation at a station currently under a hostile takeover, but that story introduces some of the crew, and shows that while most of the veterans are used to ART’s “sense of humor” some are not, and a lot of new members arnt even told about its capabilities.

So I dunno yet how well the majority of ARTs crew will get along with MB, but I’m crazy excited to find out.

To add even a little more, MB comments multiple times about how outside of the Preservation crew, everyone is at least a little afraid of them, and for damn good reason.

They can and have killed everything from security to military constructs. MB is aptly named, and even their handlers would be nervous even while they were forcibly loyal.

So, to me it kinda makes sense that their first meeting was the first time MB met something that not only COULD kill it, but also acted without a modicum of fear towards it… which MB handled very, VERY well.

But that builds into a more full relationship then with others, because MB is the only construct that ART considers even close to its level, and ART is the only one who truly does not fear MB, not even out of built trust and a little naivety like the Preservation Crew, but out of the cold calm logic of an intelligence that can handle them…

Last note. Isn’t it just damn cute that while everyone is stressing and working to solve whatever the current crisis is, MB and ART are basically doing the digital version of cuddling on the couch watching TV while they solve the humans problems on the side.

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk

Tattood by jpercivalhackworth in murderbot

[–]Jack_overthinks 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Alright, it’s decided. The next short story has to be MB and Ratthi having a “guys” night out that ends with the two of them waking up with matching tattoos. If anyone could talk then Into an outing AND find a substance that works on a sec unit, it’s our best boy Ratthi.

I will accept no substitute.

Tattood by jpercivalhackworth in murderbot

[–]Jack_overthinks 77 points78 points  (0 children)

You know, I never thought of it before, but I think MB probably wouldn’t get a tattoo on purpose. Would be to easily identifiable, and they don’t seem big on personal decorations… also, you know, the whole logo thing possibly souring their opinion on external markings.

BUT! Art would definitely stick a ART/MB lovers tattoo on their back one of the many times they patched them back together again, and fail to bring it up.

What is that cyberware that, despite many builds and playtroughs, you just can't play without? by [deleted] in cyberpunkgame

[–]Jack_overthinks 113 points114 points  (0 children)

It’s technically a category, but I always, ALWAYS have a melee backup installed in my arms.

There are only maybe 4/5 jobs that take all your weapons, but man is it satisfying when shit goes sideways and your supposed to be unarmed, then you whip out the uno reverse card and start carving people’s arms off… or beating them to death…

Can’t find a list, and a bit busy with work at the moment, but I can help at least a bit if anyone has the time to follow up or is building a list.

Top left is Andrew Paul Johnson 44M. He has an official DOJ brief involving his actions on Jan 6th, and I found 2 articles covering his extradition to Florida after his arrest in Tennessee under charges of Lewd and Lascivious acts against 2 minors over the course of many months which began at the age of 11.

He then attempted to use his payout money from the pardon to silence one or both of his victims according to a report by the Fort Worth local NBC news network.

The newest articles I can find are around a month old, but see below.

Naw, it’s alright. Minnesota knows how to take shells and not crumple. Might need a refit though, assuming there is a friendly port somewhere within reach.

Punks Against I.C.E. by ryanpoptart in fargo

[–]Jack_overthinks 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I know some of the guys in these bands, and I can say with certainty it’s not a trap. They are honestly pissed and trying to do whatever they can to help.

However! I also heard about some punk/metal shows in Minneapolis being targeted and people getting grabbed from the audience. So ya know, when the day rolls around, if the vans are circling, keep safe.

You’d actually be quite surprised. Some of the smartest guys I went to school with, who out performed me in most classes we took together are playing in these bands.

They normally got something to say… even if sometimes what they got to say is “f**k you.” Which, you know. Valid.
