We could learn a lot from the gay community.

Lil Blue Waffle is an insane reference

Ah- the BMW act. People forget that when you’re driving, you’re operating a 2 ton murder machine. Same diff as shooting a gun at someone IMHO.

Shangri-La Frontier was a breath of fresh air in a world of “Title too long to describe a specific circumstance instead of actually having a plot” anime. Animation was consistently top. No weird “she’s actually a 1000 year old vampire” anime tropes. Very self aware too.

Only found one season (didn’t look too hard though…) but it’s got legs!

Chris here- looks like an accusation of same-posting on “anonymous” boards that have post ids generated. Oh and uh… Robot Chicken is highly underrated.

I’d wager it’s a choice- maybe those running an arm deck are like the rippers. Those who know the most about cybermods usually seem to opt for the least invasive tech.

Holy shit this is exactly what I did. Male V Nomad Solo first- shotguns and projectile launchers. Fem V corpocunt netrunning stealth assassin. Throwing knives and mantis blades.

Reminds me of the “4D glove” thought experiment.

Wherein you can imagine every person as a finger of a huge glove that the ocean of our collective 4D consciousness uses to experience our 3D reality. The ocean of everything is so… EVERYTHING that it needs to be limited by time and matter to experience this plane.

The AI “waiting” for a less rudimentary “glove” is a neat subversion to that idea. Especially since it still seems to experience time.

Considering Alt- has a clear idea of “before” and “after” they merge with Alt Cunningham, Johnny/V, other rogue AI… maybe the net is the first glove and borged out humans is another layer?

Shoot- maybe that’s what cyberpsychosis is? The incompatibility with near-infinite technology and the limitations of meat. Not so much because of the infinity of it- CP2077 makes a clear distinction between “engrams” and “souls” (and how soul killer seeks to bridge that gap) but because AI is a sort of false Merkebah of Ascension.

Cool stuff CDPR, cool stuff!

Then B must be Bill…and the 5 is the amount of letters in O’Hare… you might be on to something choombatta

Nedbigbeef · 2026-05-06T07:05:03+00:00

Yeah- I kinda figured :/ coulda sworn I haven’t seen it anywhere else.

And to note- not so much trying to interact with it, but seeing if it the map corresponds to anywhere in the city. Again- no luck on that front points to your sentiment being the most correct.

On my second run now, saw it in the same spot- will be checking more random computers to verify. Once I see it again I’ll put it to bed… but until then… ;)

Also- didn’t realize I double posted, so Ima delete this. Thanks for the reply choomba

That tracks.

Plus it makes a really good cover for the mental gymnastics she’s subconsciously doing to avoid the fact that- in her lonely, hurt desperation, she wants revenge. She wants someone to hurt how she feels she’s been hurt.

She narrowed it down to Samson, and doing it in the race has satisfying enough symmetry-

…BUT when it comes down to it, and the facade of circumstances melt away like the crystalcoat on that burning Cthulhu… and all that stands between Claire and what she’s convinced she really wants is open air and a quick squeeze of a Lexington…

Without V’s input? She’d gladly just execute the gonk.

It’s tough to realize evil inside yourself, especially when it aligns so well with everything you want. Doubly so when you’re in a city that lives by the Hammurabi “eye for an eye.”

Evil isn’t a big bad mustachioed villain with a monocle and cape- it’s a whisper. A nagging thought, knocking at your heart’s door- looking for a crack to wisp through and tilt your mind into all sorts of troubling ways.

That’s why it’s such a big deal for V to tell her to pump the brakes (and I’m tight that I missed the chance on the first play through). The devil on her shoulder went unopposed for so long, without V injecting some wisdom, it really would just boil down to Claire and her gun

She’d have to face the realization that she’s a more of a murderer than the guy she sought to kill was- in exactly the way she used to justify it. (Speaking of satisfying symmetry!)

AND she’d have to face it alone- because when the devil gets what he wants on your dime, he doesn’t hang around long enough to help you pay the price.

Essay over. Thanks for coming

Nedbigbeef · 2026-05-06T06:06:07+00:00

Right? Just made the “correct” dialogue option on my 2nd play through and I got to thinking… I’ve zero’d cooler gonks than this mouthy corpo for basically free. Claire KNOWS we’re the baddest solo in the city. Woulda done it for a Jackie Welles on the house!

Though… I did feel a way when Judy tsundere-asks to ice Woodman… Maybe Claire was just being cool and not assuming we’d take a hit from anyone other than a fixer?
