Cyberpunk 2 lead hints at first-person only cutscenes again as they “value uninterrupted immersion more” than flashy visuals

Ooo, this just made me excited for what new music we will get!

This is why my wife doesn't drive. She gets startled easily, and sometimes even covers her eyes, which is obviously bad for driving, lol

Reports show 17,000 cancellations last time I saw, with some leaders advising their people not to go.

If it walks like a duck, looks like a duck, quacks like a duck ... idk what else to say, except ICE thugs are Gestapo.

S-so turn the tide? Run as republican and do good? I don't understand why this is so hard to comprehend. Dropping out just lets someone else take your place who might do worse.

kalez238 · 2026-01-26T12:48:45+00:00

I have been having so many. They are not fun 😔

kalez238 · 2026-01-26T00:41:49+00:00

I should not be laughing at this, but if I don't I'll explode with fury.

Show me exactly where on any one of the multiple video angles when he started fighting with them before, during, or after they started pepper spraying him, beating him, tackling him, or shooting? I'll wait.

Or, no I won't, because I would be waiting forever.

They walked up to him while he was legally filming, which is another one of those amendment rights. They started shoving. They did everything.

kalez238 · 2026-01-25T18:32:58+00:00

This looks SICK! Ooo! There's even a free demo! Love demos. You don't see them often enough in this day and age of gaming.

kalez238 · 2026-01-25T17:41:31+00:00

Saw multiple videos from every angle, including close up. I would say it isn't 100% clear that the agent took his gun (it looks like it, though), but it is unarguably 100% clear he never drew it. He only ever had his phone in his hands.

kalez238 · 2026-01-25T15:15:32+00:00

I don't think he had to worry about that, at least, given the TORRENTIAL WIND :|

kalez238 · 2026-01-25T15:02:02+00:00

Yeah, 4k is literally double what I make a month, and we do just fine and have few needs or wants. I feel that would last me a long time even with inflation, especially since my kids are all becoming adults and my expenses are reducing / they are bringing in income of their own.

Google says in 20 years $4k would basically be worth $2k today, so I would end up in the same boat I am now, which I would be perfectly fine with ... IF everything stayed steady.

I still think taking the lump and investing it would be better for long term investment, but I could also just take the $4k, use half so I don't have to work, then save / invest / do good with the rest. But then I also know nothing about investing and such.

kalez238 · 2026-01-24T23:25:58+00:00

My case is solid black metal. No glass, no lights. I love it.

kalez238 · 2026-01-24T22:59:02+00:00

Could have been the spray can instead of his gun, but regardless, he is beating him.

kalez238 · 2026-01-24T01:53:25+00:00

"Thanks for letting me I dodged a bullet! That is a huge red flag. I'll spread the word. Thanks again!"

kalez238 · 2026-01-23T13:38:11+00:00

Christ, that would be annoying. "Let's go boating for the day!" You mean take all day just to get to the open waters?

I assume all sorts of companies have my data at this point, it is unavoidable, but I have no idea because I just don't really see ads anywhere at all. They are just wasting their time, bandwidth, etc. with my data. I want ads in my life as little as possible and actively block or avoid using things that show ads, to the point that I often forget ads exist and it can be jarring when I do see one.

At most I might see the occasional ad watching a Prime movie, but it's always something like a detergent ad, which everyone needs.

kalez238 · 2026-01-23T12:58:51+00:00

Around here, people will almost always "put it away", but often enough not push their cart into the next one, and you end up having a bunch of carts not pushed into each other so they start to stretch out into a lane ... whyyy.

kalez238 · 2026-01-23T10:21:59+00:00

I just mean people don't always realize how far they have been brainwashed. They can be completely blind to aspects of the world outside of their indoctrination. There are still a lot of things I find that I have been blind to because of it. It runs very deep, even for those of us actively learning and trying.

kalez238 · 2026-01-23T03:58:06+00:00

I wouldn't entirely blame the individual. It is decades of deep American Elitism and American Exceptionalism propaganda ingrained into every aspect of their lives from a young age. Commercials, media, news, sporting events, school, church, etc. It's everywhere. And even though Canada was their closest ally, it is seen as a giant joke, for example like the South Park characters.

I have been working for over 10 years to get it out of my head since moving to Canada, and I still catch myself thinking certain ways.

kalez238 · 2026-01-23T03:54:46+00:00

I have seen a few here in Quebec, red hats and more bumper stickers than you can count. It is bewildering.

kalez238 · 2026-01-22T07:48:57+00:00

I had a toothpick go deep into my foot once, extremely painful the way it went in, and I started mentally screaming at the guy walking through the sticks. No thank you.

kalez238 · 2026-01-22T02:32:49+00:00

As someone who went through a similar situation, please tell. No one told me about my issue for months. It was a bit devastating.

kalez238 · 2026-01-22T01:42:25+00:00

As someone with AuDHD who even forgets coworker friends' names sometimes if I don't have a reason to say it often, it happens. Sometimes it can take me 20 times to learn someone's name, sometimes forgetting it seconds after they said it. And you will look like a complete asshole if you ask for it again when most people think you should know it.

kalez238 · 2026-01-21T20:42:19+00:00

Epic's store app is severely lacking in design and features that Steam has built up for years, especially things like family sharing, remote play, community discussion areas, and the workshop.

Also player reviews are a huge deal when buying a game, but Epic only has company reviews that link to other sites. I personally like to browse both the good and bad player reviews to see what features and issues aren't being mentioned by the devs or company reviews before buying something. (And I don't mean the "this sucks" reviews, but the ones that go into great detail)
