I’m going to do these periodically.

Title kinda says all.

I’ll have my own reply later.

Special weekly question:

What do you like most about 2023’s repertoire of video games?

    I’ve been playing Cyberpunk 2077 and its expansion. The update makes the core game much better IMO, and Idris Elba is cute and a good actor. That’s most of the good bits.

    If you thought this was just going to make Cyberpunk into Cybercop 2077 (well, more than the base game), congratulations, you’re right. Join the CIA FIA and fight for the NUSA (that you’re not even a citizen of, as Night City is independent)! And, of course, they fuck you over no matter what (typical of the genre).

    Whatever, I’ll keep playing that garbage. I’m a sucker for the setting. Neuromancer made me a simp for the genre.

      There are other cyberpunk media, to be sure, but I’m guessing that you’re just playing for the “aesthetics” or “atmosphere” or whatever, right?

        Yeah, that’s most of it. They nailed the atmosphere, for the most part, and I’ve been trying to start a Cyberpunk Red tabletop campaign IRL so it helps me sort of digest the world building.

          You’re in luck because the person behund Cyberpunk and Cyberpunk Red don’t even like the video game so the story content should be better.
