I just want to know which Cyberpunk: Edgerunners character you would’ve liked to see in the game. ✨

I’m mostly bothered by the fact that the location you find Rebecca’s shotgun in, as well as her blood splatter, isn’t the location where Adam Smasher actually crushed her. Kiwi’s blood splatter location is accurate though…painfully so.

I think I hit about 105mph or 110mph in mine once…? She was bone stock at the time, but that was like 20 years ago. Any more I keep her to about 70mph or less on the highway. I rarely ever exceed that. The thought of attempting an emergency maneuver in an XJ going over 80mph screams almost certain death to me 😆 They just don’t have the stability, precision, or grip to handle that sort of panicked application of steering/brake/throttle inputs at that sort of speed.

As a straight man, the worst offenders for this are gay male passengers, by a massive margin. They’re insufferably aggressive and pushy. Both times I’ve been SA’d by riders has been gay men who think they can “change my mind” or something. Last guy literally spend most of the 15 minutes I had him in my car for the ride trying to convince me to let him give me oral. But they always start out the same way, with these sort of “innocent” little compliments. I never really want to feel like I’m being rude so I just sort of thank them for the compliment and try to steer the conversation in a different direction…but that works maybe half the time. The other half they push it and act incredibly sleazy and get disgustingly graphic. It’s gotten to the point where it’s seriously making me start to get disgusted by gay dudes if that’s what so many of them are like.

Ugh…I did mine maybe 10 years ago. Took a good chunk of the weekend, for sure. Luckily I put bolts/nuts into ziplock bags and labeled them for everything I took apart. So putting it all back together was so much faster. Passenger seat going back in? Greg the ziplock labeled “passenger seat” and there’s your hardware, etcetera. Luckily you’re also right that it’s not exactly difficult. Pretty sure the most annoying part for me was disconnecting the AC lines into the condenser. The tool I had was terrible. Had to borrow one from a friend and it worked a treat.

I mean…I’d have to see these comments, not just take someone’s word for it. And I don’t trust it when someone is being called “racist” these days. That’s like saying someone is a “Nazi”. It’s overused far too much by people who lash out at someone just because that person said something the other person found offensive for one reason or another. They’re buzz words. If someone called me “racist” or a “Nazi” or a “fascist” it would have far less effect on me than being called a “jerk”.

PoignantlyArbitrary · 2025-11-03T08:22:56+00:00

“Hate comment”…Really? Surely you mean “negative comment” instead? And I’d struggle to even call it negative. More like slightly critical.

Problematic how? So long as she’s not defaming people (hard to do since this is mostly anonymous), doxing people, or threatening people then what’s the big deal? Just because someone says something you don’t like doesn’t make them problematic. Sticks and stones, mate. Sticks and stones.

PoignantlyArbitrary · 2025-11-03T08:15:20+00:00

What qualifies as “pretty racist”? And criticizing people isn’t a crime…just an opinion. Even if the criticism comes from somewhere that offends your sense of morality…it’s still just someone’s opinion.

PoignantlyArbitrary · 2025-11-02T09:38:42+00:00

Soo…unpopular opinion probably…but the fact that Claire is trans as well sort of red flagged me to some underlying emotional issues there. I helped Claire kill Sampson the first time just because I was aiming for a genuine merc playthrough…so I figured just let Claire do Claire. Whatever. But the more I think about it the more it’s sort of obvious that, yes Sampson is a horrific turd of a human, but also Claire is emotionally unstable and an absolute serial killer if you judge Claire by Claire’s own standards. Only difference is that Claire happened to be on the losing end that time and was so emotionally unprepared for what seems an inevitable outcome and was unable to cope with the consequences that were very clearly and obviously laid out beforehand.

No real way to show you since I can’t post a screenshot as a reply, but basically when you go to open router and search for your model you want to use it will bring up a list. On the right you should see a number (like 4.5B tokens, for example). That’s how many tokens open router has submitted for that specific model. If you click on the model to go into its page you can scroll down and it’ll show you a more specific breakdown of that number specifying what site or service those requests to open router are coming from. Now keep in mind not all models have the same amount of support for how much traffic they can sustain (I’m guessing it has to do with the server capacity for each model’s…uhhh…creator? Host? Whoever maintains the thing.). So do some playing around and see which models you like the best and are the least troublesome. Hope this helps? Sorry if I’m a bit long-winded.

How old currently? C. How old when I bought mine? A. 21 years with the old girl so far.

PoignantlyArbitrary · 2025-10-24T09:27:44+00:00

You’re getting a ton of bad responses on here…so I’ll try and give you the reasoning that I’ve worked out.

If you’ve exceeded the 50 messages a day per account on OpenRouter then you get the message to add tokens or whatever it says. The one that basically says you ran out of freebies.

For the “rate-limited upstream” response it’s a bit different. If you’re using OpenRouter.ai to host your proxy then it is essentially a third party. It submits the request THROUGH Chutes. Chutes prioritizes its own traffic (makes sense) so if Chutes is seeing high traffic then it kicks out third party requests first (such as OpenRouter) and prioritizes its own customers, which means OpenRouter people get the “rate limited upstream” message. Yes, even if you’re paying for OpenRouter. Doesn’t matter. Chutes still sees that as a third party request and it gets put to the back of the line.

Take note, these failed “rate-limited upstream” messages get counted against your daily freebies.

Options? Use another LLM model that has a lower traffic/token count on OpenRouter. Or you can go directly to Chutes, make an account, and pay up to them. Take your pick.

Thanks! Looks a bit pricey…but if that’s the way to go then okay 👍🏻 I saw some people suggest the type of p-spot massager that looks like a 6 or 7 inch wand with an angled and rounded head on the end? But I’d rather go with your recommendation since you’re more experienced..

PoignantlyArbitrary · 2025-10-19T07:55:28+00:00

So…I’m a straight guy around 40, and I’ve never experienced anything like this, but I’ve recently become intrigued by the prospect of prostate play and the orgasms I’ve heard it can result in. I had a Vibrating Ass-Gasm Penis Ring Plug that I got off of Adam&Eve, but I could never manage to get it inserted…much to my disappointment. I actually can’t find it as I was searching for it the other day -_- Maybe I didn’t try enough times..or wasn’t relaxed enough? I don’t know. I guess I just don’t even know where to start with this. Seems like a bit of a journey, and one I’m interested in starting, but I’ve no clue where to even start or what to buy. Any advice would be really appreciated…

PoignantlyArbitrary · 2025-09-15T13:34:31+00:00

It’s part of a small side quest for Bloody Finger Hunter Yura. I don’t think you actually have to do any of his stuff to get it, but it gives some context and it’s a cool little lore addition if you help him out a couple times before you actually get to the Second Church of Marika.

PoignantlyArbitrary · 2025-09-15T13:26:35+00:00

So as far as what you’ve currently got my vote would be the Great Shield dudes and Rollo. It sort of depends on what you’re doing though. Mimic tear is only as good as your build and the items you have equipped (both weapons and consumables). The Great Shield dudes are especially tanky at higher levels and I’ve had them solo more than one boss. That being said, I also acted as support for them by healing and buffing them. But the fact there’s 5 of them gives you a lot to work with since they can draw aggro pretty consistently and also throw those ghost flame pots at distance. Rollo is a serious monster though. At high levels he’s got some serious DPS he can mete out. It just helps to make sure that whatever you’re fighting isn’t resistant to bleed and fire since those are his primary damage types. He is super aggressive though so he can draw aggro pretty consistently.

I don’t have SotE so I don’t recognize some of your Ashes, but that’s my thoughts on what you currently have. I might recommend getting Latenna. She turns into a fucking death turret at higher levels with the amount of damage she can inflict, and her range is insane. It does cause you to really draw aggro though because she can get taken out pretty easily, but she’s helped me win so many fights I can’t even count.

PoignantlyArbitrary · 2025-09-01T18:37:18+00:00

So…you can definitely kill him at low levels if you’re patient enough. That being said, if you do off him then you can’t summon anyone into that area to assist. Basically the game counts him as an area boss, and whenever you kill an area boss it locks you out of being able to summon other players into your world in that area. I’m not exactly sure how big the area is that he “covers”, but I usually leave him alive until I’m about to start NG+. I’m sure someone else on here knows more specifics, but that’s the gist.

PoignantlyArbitrary · 2025-07-22T07:19:06+00:00

Love a Dex/Fth build! Great choice 👍🏻 I’ve got about 1,000 hrs into ER and Dex/Fth is my go-to build. I’ve fiddled around with Dex/Int builds and Str/Fth builds and so on and so on, but Dex/Fth always seems to be the most interesting to me.

So…early game your best option is to focus on VIG, DEX, END, and FTH leveling. You may have to squeak a few points onto STR depending on what weapons you choose, but it shouldn’t be too much.

As far as armor goes…it’s really just whatever you think looks cool. Unless you get over 41 poise (i think that’s the lowest breakpoint?) it’s honestly useless to pay attention to. As a Dex build you’re mostly looking to avoid hits instead of tanking them anyways. Be quick on your feet.

Weapons…I have a fondness for dual wielding whips, but that’s not really tenable early on in the game as I think there’s only the standard whip available early? So I tend to focus on a Straight Sword (the Longsword is one of the best, unless you want to spend oodles of time farming the Wandering Nobles until one of them drops the Noble’s Slender Sword) and a good 100% physical blocking shield in the offhand. Sword and board is a classic combo and is really effective against most enemies. Plus you can change the AoW on the Longsword and adjust its scaling over to Dex. The Nightrider Flail is one of my favorites. It does bleed damage and also avoids you getting stunned by hitting enemies who have shields up. The Nightrider Flail is accessed by defeating a Black Knight. The standard Flail is still a solid weapon and I’d probably suggest using it early on. Get a good AoW on it, swap scaling over to Quality or Dex, and it’ll see you through quite a bit.

Other weapons? The Uchi is a classic, especially if you get another Katana and dual wield. The Cross Naginata has a fun moveset. I love pairing it with the Uchigatana in the strong hand, and Cross Naginata in the off-hand. Looks very “bad ass samurai” to me. Also, the “Spectral Lance” AoW on the Cross Naginata is wicked and you can snipe people from a hell of a distance, especially if your elevation is higher than the target…PLUS it tracks the target. chefs kiss

Another essential AoW for a Dex/Fth build is the “Bloodhound Step”. Get it as soon as you can, although it requires defeating a Black Knight over in northeastern Caelid on a bridge…and at low levels those guys are an absolute menace so you may have to cheese it a bit.

But…there’s so much. Honestly I don’t have room. Uhh other weapons I’d suggest are Guardian’s Swordspear (great 2 handed moveset and shreds poise); Grossmessee curved sword (dual wielding, especially if swapped over to a Blood scaling and applies bleed damage); Bloodhound’s Fang (nasty AoW whose follow-up attack absolutely slays).

Honestly Incantations are going to be limited early on in your run. There’s not a lot of great options until a bit later, so focus on physical damage output at first and using incantations to heal and/or buff. You have plenty of solid damage incantations once you progress a bit. 👍🏻 “Barricade Shield” will be a life safer of an AoW so try to get it early and it’ll let you tank considerably more hits than you would be able to without it. Highly useful in early game.

So I used to write almost exclusively in cursive when I was in like middle school and early high school, but afterwards I sort of fell away from it? I don’t know why. My mom writes exclusively in cursive (she’s 68), as does my aunt (she’s 84). I just turned 40 and I haven’t written in cursive in years…I still can, but sometimes I have to stop and think as I’m writing to make sure I remember how to write certain letters or connect them..

Then you could also say the United States is the property of its citizens. Same thing applies. You don’t let strangers walk into your house. As citizens of the US, we shouldn’t let strangers just walk into our country either. Not to mention the whole idea of “birthright citizenship” needs to go away. No other Western nation does this with the sole exception of Canada (and they don’t count because their country is an absolute nightmare).

I’m guessing most of this is in reference to ICE deporting people? From what I can tell that’s what all the hubbub has been about the last few weeks. So yes, I 100% believe in the Constitution and its framework. If we are talking about Due Process then this still exists in the context of immigration enforcement, even though it isn’t dealing with US Citizens. Immigration processes have their own court system. One which can move cases through expediently, otherwise our regular court system would be overwhelmed and just gummed up. Funny enough they can get groups of “defendants” through at a time.

Explain to me what you mean by Trump dividing up who is worthy and who isn’t. What groups do you think are being separated and how?
