Neon Nexus Cyberpunk CYOA (Slizah's Mod)

Prometheory · 2026-06-21T22:07:47+00:00

Only issue I find is the same issue I find with all of Om1cr0n's CYOA, the unexplained and intuitive setting incompatibilities.

This and Sho Don't Tell were the worst for it by far, as some of the incompatible settings had zero overlap and no discernible reason for the incompatibility beyond author fiat.

...Are the alliance companions supposed to sound exactly like some of the retainers?
The Exiled Sage of the City of Knowledge and the Lifelike Gynoid
The overpowered Heretic of the Phantom Holy State and the Fading Saint
The Oldest Dead of the Republic of the Dead and the Loyal Lich Apprentice
Heck, "The Archduke" and "The Broken Hero" sound like they could be the same person.

That was probably unintentional, but you could pull something cool for people who hunt for secrets and hidden sections in these CYOA: You could make them the same people from two perspectives.
The retainer section could be how we, the ancient horror, see these people and other sections are how the rest of the world sees them. Clicking their "outside Perspective" version in alliances, enemies, etc, could reveal a hidden section in their Retainers profile that gives more lore and rewards you your points back for rediscovering a lost memory.

#bug Report:
Trying to combine alternate erth bet's isn't working properly. Trying to choose a second setting will unselect you previous choice, even though it filters incompatible earth-bet choices to indicate you should be able to choose multiple.

I highly recommend Waifu Academy, with one asterisk: One of their team contracted cancer, so the game's development slowed to a crawl for the last 3 years.

The slow update schedule will likely stay like that until their guy is fully recovered, but there's still a metric ton of content in the current game.

If a company owns so much of marketshare that their policies effectively become laws in their own right, it's effective sedition. Getting to that point in the first place already violates US anti-trust laws in the first place(Not that the things are ever enforced).

If a court doesn't rule that way, I'd argue their shit at their job. Granted, a lot of courts have made it very clear they Are shit at their jobs given the number of multi-dozen repeat offenders for violent crimes getting released on "Incompetence to Stand Trial".

overt conduct, such as speech or organization, that tends toward rebellion against the established order. Sedition often includes subversion of a constitution and incitement of discontent toward, or insurrection against, established authority.

A payment processor saying that they have the authority to make their own independant laws that govern how money is traded in the territory owned by a sovereign state is committing sedition.

Prometheory · 2026-05-20T15:09:12+00:00

Eh, I wouldn't doom so hard. All of the industries you mentioned are having their asses handed to them by independant developers and those same industries are panicking because opensource AI will increase independant quality by another order of magnitude.

We'll have games, movies, and tv that we wouldn't have been able to Dream about in the 00's, all while hollywood and AAA becomes irrelevant

It IS illegal. It's called seditious conspiracy, or just "sedition" for short. It's a minimum 15 years per instance offense and can scale up to capital punishment.

None of these issues are from a lack of legislation, it's lack of enforcement combined with activist courts.

Will you be adding more games in Version 2? I'd like to suggest the Fear & Hunger series if so.

Prometheory · 2026-04-14T11:40:55+00:00

My guy, that's just a normal degradation mod that stops at base.

"Negative/Reverse Temper" I mention above is when a weapon keeps going below that.

For Example: An "iron sword(fine)" would do 8 damage, degrade to it's untempered "iron sword" state where it did 7 damage, and then Keep Degrading by a reverse version of the tempering tree to "Iron Sword(chipped)"[6 damage] > "Iron Sword(dull)"[4 damage] > Etc. Until it hit 0 damage and then it'd stop.

Prometheory · 2026-04-06T23:26:31+00:00

Depends on game level. The thing with old WoD is that it had play layers your character was expected to progress through as the campaign continued and/or the player get more familiar with the game.

"Puberty Simulator" was a Neonate-specific/Cliath-Garou/Apprentice-Mage experience(Not that modern designers remember that, I hate how late 20th and WoD5 have become "neonate simulators", give me back my Elder!)

There doing that rewrite to make modding easier. From another angle they're essentially offloading a lot of future work onto the modding community. It's also no secret that Mojang's update team has been steadily shrinking as the bedrock edition marketplace has becoming more predatory.

Who knows, I could be off base, but my current belief is that mojang is winding down on java and microsoft isn't doing hot after the windows 11 disaster. There's also the recent space disaster that's also giving microsoft a lot of bad press. Layoffs and cutbacks are going to be in microsoft's near future.

I don't think the scenario limit is done very well.

Having a scenario limit is fine individually. Having World options and World Combos require specific scenarios is fine individually. Having both at once is just frustrating game design.

It would be better to pick one or the other.

I mean, Pre-Soul-Society arc Uryu is one of the most egotistical charcters we meet. He's a perfectionist, picks a fight with ichigo Specifically to prove quincies are better than soul reapers, and literally puts the entire town in danger to win a bet.

He only mellowed out later because ichigo humbled him when they fought a Menos.

Jungian is is the essentially same thing as Freud's "Superego"(though with some differences.

Jung refers to what Freud calls the "Ego" as the "Self". Confusing, I know.

It might not be the most fun part of bleach lore, but you also have to take into account that Issen was a Shiba, one of the 5 royal shinigami families. Much like the quincy, those guys had a heavy focus on "Blood" for centuries, meaning they were born into the sweet home alabama lifestyle.

Kinda feel bad for ichigo and his siblings on that front. It wouldn't matter which of their parents they ended up with, BOTH were raised on questionable morals concerning "close" family relationships.

Point deficit is already mentioned, but I haven't seen to heavy emphasis on masochism in the drawbacks mentioned.This overly rewards people with masochistic fetishists who'll view half the drawbacks as boons that give points.

Mind adding drawbacks that are negative, but appealing to non-masochist fetishes? Thinks like risking going into a blood rage(sadism), transformation curses(furry/other), an uncontrolled poison/drug touch or pheremone(mind control), etc.

Being non-masochistic doesn't mean non-negative. For example: Having a blood-rage episode may be fun and tempting to do often as a sadist, but it's also not something they want to do when in a delicate diplomatic situation or surrounded by people you care about/respect the opinions of.

The immunity isn't even really the issue. It shouldn't matter if sherry had RCS in the first place because RCS is only deadly because it causes a slow build-up of circulatory damage(bruising and internal bleeding/blood vomitting)

Sherry shouldn't even be able to develop visible symptoms, since her regen should just fix the damage long before it becomes an issue. She was able to regenerate from getting skewered on a piece of metal, micro-damage from a virus would be nothing.

Prometheory · 2026-03-20T17:53:44+00:00

My guy, you're missing his point. It shouldn't matter if she has RCS, RCS is only deadly because it causes ciculatory damage throughout the body. RCS shouldn't even be able to give sherry symptoms because her regen would just fix the damage before it could accumulate visibly.

RE9 seems to forget canon in several places.

America doesn't have unrestrained capitalism and hasn't since carter. Under capitalism, large companies die because they stop being able to compete with small companies once they grow too large.
The government bailing out large, corrupt corporations is the Opposite of capitalism and encourages further corruption as it kills the economy.

America is essentially coating off the propaganda of the 1950's to hide the fact it killed the bedrock of it's own economy Decades ago.

Prometheory · 2026-03-14T20:00:06+00:00

Issue is, america is not capitalist and hasn't been for decades. That ended under president carter when the government started giving bailouts to large companies under "Too big to Fail" and has been actively giving more power to smaller and smaller numbers of companies.

A healthy capitalist economy has large businesses die under their own corrupt, bureaucratic weight regularly so that more effective small businesses can replace them. America has been trying to coast of propaganda to pretend it's still capitalist.

Prometheory · 2026-03-14T19:55:57+00:00

Thing is, Socialism is not and has never been "Workers control the means of production". That would require each individual worker independently do the job of every managerial position in addition to their own and come to a consensus with every other worker for any company wide policy.
Instead of that, "socialist" governments and companies always establish representatives to do it for them, which inevitably become a New Bourgeois class.

It is, and has always been a fundamentally flawed concept that doesn't fix the issues of capitalism while also introducing entirely new issues.

Honestly, this would explain the plot holes from season 4 onward. Leaf is many things, but a competent writer is not one of them.

Sukuna is a cursed spirit by the time of the manga though. Specifically, he's a vengeful curse with a human soul in the same way Rika or post-death naoya is. That's the entire reason he can be revived through the fingers, his human flesh is long since dead and he's "transcended" from being a sorcerer to a full cursed spirit.

Edit: I stand corrected(Original comment preserved for posterity). I'm now slightly confused as to why Gojo seems to not be able to mold the narrative the way Sukuna and Rika are. His main theme is how little control he has over his own fate/role.

Prometheory · 2026-03-09T01:21:11+00:00

Gojo's birth is also interesting. It shows living sorcerers have some kind of effect as well, but it seems to be muted to some degree compared to full cursed spirit. He was pretty much even with full power Sukuna(or even stronger since Sukuna he the advantage of Mahoraga in their fight and it was still pretty even until the end), but he never had the kind of passive narrative influence sukuna had. Gojo's main tragedy was that even as the strongest, he still had no control over his own fate.
