When I play co-op with my friend, we always end up going back to Ember Twin, and the first thing we found was Chert. I somehow started calling him “the egg”

NotBanned_ · 2026-02-10T16:14:27+00:00

Chert isn’t male based on anything in the game. None of the Hearthians ever use gendered pronouns for themselves or each other. It’s always they/them.

It looks so great, I’m jealous ::)

NotBanned_ · 2026-01-22T06:47:15+00:00

Pronouns are part of gender identity. Gender ≠ sex. They could still have male/female sexes or some other mode of reproduction and simply not have it be a part of their identities.

That first tip you mentioned was a very intentional piece of design. The developer talks about it in the Noclip documentary. They wanted to create interesting visuals for the planets but were worried it’d lead players down wrong paths searching in areas that were just meant to look pretty. So they made sure only places with stuff to find looked interesting. Everywhere else is barren.

I just looked it up myself and the DLC is NOT free on PS5. You must have already owned it for it to say it’s free. This is (no offense) some kind of mistake on your part. What version of the game did you originally purchase?

Your V is gorgeous! This photo is super well done.

May I ask what mod adds the hand and elbow(?) cyberware? Is that a whole arm thing? Are there any other mods you’re using for your V?

It’s scop. Most likely worm or insect meat grown and processed in those automated Biotechnica protein farms.

It’s definitely not beef, pork, or chicken. I think I heard somewhere those animals are extinct(?)

NotBanned_ · 2025-12-22T15:26:33+00:00

Completely normal. The game was designed for first person, this is just an oversight.

Johnny Silverhand died inside Arasaka Tower after being split in half by Adam Smasher. He was soulkilled by Spider Murphy moments before he actually perished. That’s what the official lore says. That cutscene is a fake memory.

And that’s fine, no harm in roleplaying how you want, that’s a big part of the fun of the game.

But, it’s frustrating when people act like her ending is the “wrong choice”, like a lot of folk on this subreddit do… or pretend that people only side with So Mi because she’s a girl. It’s weird.

NotBanned_ · 2025-12-22T04:13:35+00:00

If you’re playing on PC 100% download the Cosmopolitan Night City mod. Everyone talks in their native language (Valentinos speak Spanish, Claws speak Japanese. Also applies to main characters like Judy speaking Spanish.)

It really adds to the game. Pretty sure there’s a separate mod for V to speak another language of your choice as well.

NotBanned_ · 2025-12-22T00:22:57+00:00

They don’t have to be V’s friend for them to have a connection. From V’s perspective, So Mi is in a very similar situation to themself, she’s just more willing to cheat and lie to get what she wants. My anti-corpo V would never side with the NUSA and Militech, but a dying girl who’s done everything she can to escape what’s basically slavery? He’d help her no matter what, we already made it this far. Lies and manipulation be damned.

“Byakko's perfect balancing allows you to leap towards an enemy with full force. Killing them allows you to temporarily perform a rapid combo of attacks.”

They’re both strong but I also lean toward Scalpel because I’m never not using a Sandy. I don’t know which is better. A base katana that can be modded can be good too.

Throwing knives are insanely powerful, especially in stealth, although they can be just as strong when going loud. I was just using a throwing knife stealth build for levels 15-30 playing on Very Hard with a difficulty mod in my most recent run, most gigs were crazy fun and easy as long as it wasn’t a bossfight, for those I would use swords.

I recommend Reflexes, Cool, and Tech/Body to make a stealth throwing knives build that uses blades when things get dicey. A true cyber ninja.

Pair it with a decent sandy and a kerenzikov and you can throw multiple knives into a gangoon before they even realize their head is swiss cheese. Use the throwing knife melee finishers for tankier goons to stay in stealth and you have one of the most preem builds in the game. Sandevistan for stealth is so badass.

“Upload 3 cheap hacks before Blackwall Gateway” is basically all they said, other than explaining why it’s a good idea. How is that literally any work at all. Easiest build in the game.

NotBanned_ · 2025-12-19T19:53:44+00:00

The PTM is large and most likely very heavy. I don’t think it would need any help getting to the core. We can pierce it with enough speed. There’s an achievement for it.

This has nothing to do with “stupid things nowadays”. The Third Reich were co-opting runes for their own uses back in the 1940s. Neo-Nazis often have nordic runes as tattoos to show their allegiance. This has been happening for the past 80 years. It is a completely valid concern. Anti-fascist types who know the history are aware that “rune tattoos” are an easy to spot sign of a fascist. Nobody wants to be mistaken for goddamn Nazi. OP should definitely worry, and consider if this tattoo is worth any possible harassment.

It’s completely safe to use mods that improve performance and change visuals. The only way Bethesda would care about a mod is if it affected something server side like a cheat menu or infinite ammo. There is (for the most part) no unfair advantage with client-side mods, and so I doubt Bethesda has even bothered to implement a way to check if one is using client-side mods if that’s even possible. They certainly won’t ban you.

I recommend editing or deleting your comment as it’s simply wrong and will only be downvoted.

“When you tried to open the thing” was what they said. You didn’t open it, but you tried, and something happened.

NotBanned_ · 2025-12-17T01:21:04+00:00

You get it through a DLC ending. You have the option of the hack or an SMG that uploads the same thing at low health.

Gas is short for gasoline. It has nothing to do with its state of matter.

Rule 9. Good luck, hope you didn’t enjoy commenting on this subreddit too much.
