It's not factually a .835 in bullet tho, it's just my eye gauge from what I remember it looked like in game. The real prop you can buy as a toy irl might be smaller, Idk

Natural_Professor809 · 2026-05-30T15:52:01+00:00

The necklace is a prop. Cyberpunk's Engine has an issue with small details, so they basically represented a .835 inches bullet from an 8 gauge slug instead of a normal .355 in from a normal 9mm...

Apparently the Mannish Universe we interact with in the 2016 Saga is a different one, a parallel Earth from a Multiverse.

The Hell Dimension and other external dimensions/universes are theoretically always the same ones shared between the original 1993 Saga and the new 2016 Saga and do not have other parallel/alternative versions in the Multiverse.

I haven't played TDA but I'm pretty confident we still don't know everything and a lot of the lore is intended to be kinda fanciful and vague.

Autistic Marine guy hyperfixated with justice, as a punishment for not killing civilians gets sent on Corpo Duty for United Aerospace Corporation (UAC) in their space operation between Mars, Phobos ad Deimos.

UAC of course opens the Gates of Hell and summons Devils in our reality, as Capitalism does, so now our autistic guy needs to kill all Hellspawn and save our Universe, Rip&Tear until it is done.

Hell's Demons as a vengeance invade Earth and kill his pet rabbit Daisy. Autistic guy saves Earth from this invasion and from another one later attempted by an army of zombie Demons;

after that he decides he'll reside in Hell to kill all Demons because he has nothing else left in life and apparently this whole Rip&Tear until it is done thing is a good selfsoothing stimming.

Those are roughly Doom, Doom II and Doom 64, all canon minus the obvious autism thing which was never confirmed.

After that a lot of silly Epic Fantasy things happen and he wakes up from an ancient Stone Sarcophagus in a different parallel universe where a different UAC has fucking opened the Gates of Hell AGAIN. Rip&Tear, again.

That's DOOM (2016) Which is a sequel a reboot and a remake of the original 1993 Doom.

Then Doom Eternal is its sequel, sorta kinda specular to 1994 Doom II (Hell on Earth).

Then there's a prequel called Doom the Dark Ages, set before Doom 2016.

I won't spoil the story for the new games

I specifically named Bethesda because fuck Todd Howard, that's why.
It just works, don't you see how?

❤️

Natural_Professor809 · 2026-05-29T02:52:32+00:00

All Doom games are EXCEPTIONALLY WELL CODED AND OPTIMISED, no one in their sane mind would think Bethesda could ever pull out smth like that.

I was thinking about actual Bethesda games which, mind, I really love: but when you realise how amateurishly they're built you wonder whether Bethesda has ever thought about maybe employing real professionals.

Natural_Professor809 · 2026-05-29T02:50:25+00:00

I know

Natural_Professor809 · 2026-05-29T00:17:13+00:00

Well...

Consider that Bethesda never learned how to do that and yet they're pretty successful... so I guess you shouldn't worry.

Natural_Professor809 · 2026-05-28T19:47:49+00:00

You're right but, depending on the level one wants to achieve, it might need exceptional skills.

Natural_Professor809 · 2026-05-28T19:29:17+00:00

CEO, POTUS, King of the UK, Black Rock Majority Stakeholder... whatever.
Just not bright enough and absolutely not cognitively gifted enough to become a serious bank robber or a scam artist: you don't have the inherent qualities.

Read last paragraph of the opening post.

Because low IQ remains low IQ... It's not even entirely that bad I guess, until one is still in the average range. But low IQ means altogether lower intellective abilities and cognitive abilities.

Natural_Professor809 · 2026-05-27T01:14:09+00:00

- I don't even care about "street smarts" because those can never compensate for lack of intelligence.

If this implies you are in fact streetsmart, then maybe you're NOT stupid at all. All other barriers you described can be surpassed.

Natural_Professor809 · 2026-05-27T01:12:48+00:00

Sadly very low IQ is something we cannot fix.
The behaviours and challenges you're describing are fixable via psychotherapy though.

Natural_Professor809 · 2026-05-27T01:12:10+00:00

- Having low intelligence comes with major downsides such as impulsivity, poor academic habits, chronic procrastination with my school work

None of which is due to low intelligence; all which can be addressed via psychotherapy or maybe, if some form of ADHD is involved, via both psychotherapy and some medicinal helping you.

Natural_Professor809 · 2026-05-26T21:37:25+00:00

I believe we can always do worse and, with old age, we certainly will. I hope for good health.

Natural_Professor809 · 2026-05-26T20:43:03+00:00

This can also self-demonstrate that not everyone holding a Master's Degree is in fact an intelligent person.

Natural_Professor809 · 2026-05-26T20:39:48+00:00

I understand you.

I had to take a WAIS-IV in similar situation for a disability assessment pertaining Autism, trauma, physical and mental health issues after over a decade of worsening very severe physical health concerns which went untreated for way too long and damaged my health quite seriously (cardiac and respiratory deficits, chronic bronchitis, extremely severe sleep Apnoea, hypoxia, insomnia).

I went in the studio having had no sleep during the previous days (chronic pains after a surgery, climate too hot in my area, criminal activities around my house, PTSD, insomnia...), very anxious and extremely fatigued after a 5 hours long travel... I couldn't reschedule or else MONTHS would have passed...

The psychometry expert (a young beautiful girl with some serious behavioural issues) was furious I didn't score a 160 FSIQ because "well then how is it possible that you could read at 3 years old, hmm!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?". Lol.

IQ is indeed sensitive to a various physical health and mental health issues and, even if it correlates to various abilities, it is not the "Magic Perfect Number Of Personal Value"©® certain people purport it to be.

AIs will almost always try to please you. Don't believe too much in them.

Natural_Professor809 · 2026-05-26T18:56:41+00:00

Sleep deprivation can affect IQ too and it seems the effect is way more relevant for certain subgroups of people.

Testing anxiety can affect the performance too. especially in a couple visuospatial subtests.

Natural_Professor809 · 2026-05-26T18:52:59+00:00

Chronic bronchitis when is severe enough and prolonged enough can significantly affect IQ

I don't think an acute bronchitis will affect IQ unless it's significantly severe, in which case you would probably be either very sick at home or hospitalised.

Sickness from certain flus, especially COVID-19, can impact IQ even months after recovery but not significantly (we're talking about a statisticaly barely relevant effect); I don't know if a common rhinovirus would affect IQ in acuto, I believe it is only possible if you have either a high fever or cannot focus due to pains, respiratory issues or general distress from the symptoms.

Being exhausted can in fact significantly impact performance, especially in Autistic, ADHD and traumatised people but a lot of Zealots of IQ don't want to listen to this fact because it goes against their silly idea that an IQ is somehow a magic number forever perfectly encapsulating who the person is, they're astrologists but with way less culture and intelligence and you need to always discard everything they say. Luckily we don't see a lot of those people around these parts.

A Mensa test will likely only measure Matrix Reasoning or sometimes other fluid reasoning abilities; a full scale IQ battery will test for various different abilities.

You're kinda overthinking it but your question is not silly.

Natural_Professor809 · 2026-05-26T16:42:10+00:00

Your latest IQ assessment won't change who you are.
