New Job: Don't Let Me Get Me
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Part 2 of the aforementioned little VP project of "What kind of NPC would Vince be in CP2077?"
In this scenario he's still working for Araska, even if during the first meeting with him right after completing "Monster Hunt" it isn't as obvious (unless the player notices his Kenshin tech-pistol, *the* staple handgun of any decent Arasaka agent XD).
I had a hard time figuring out where this encounter might take place, but then decided for Jotaro's club - it's a huge location, and the player would get in Vince's way of retrieving some client data from one of Jotaro's personal computers (that they can discover via a questmarker or maybe after Johnny points them to it, something like that).
Vince will not disclose what he needs the data for, but a Streetkid!Player will recognize he's not your typical gang member, more purposefully trying to look like one while also remaining outwardly unremarkable. If the player decides to give him the data anyway he will never be seen again and the quest is complete xD
Otherwise, if the player decides to fight him or otherwise doesn't wanna hand over the data, Vince will deescalate the situation and disappear - but promise that this will have consequences. After a few ingame days have passed, the player will receive a message from a normal contact - a fixer, or one of their friends, about meeting them at/travelling to a Northside location for an important clue or a profitable opportunity (might be dependant on dialogues chosen during the first encounter with Vince!).
When the player gets there though, they're instantly incapacitated as their cyberware gets hacked (imagine a milder version of system shutdown - they're still conscious but not really able to move or do much).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Enter, Vince in his true colors XD He still wants the data the player stole from Jotaro, or at least know what they did with it so he can somehow track the information down that he needs. Again, the player can be cooperative or not, but Vince can be quite threatening and may confront the player about the Biochip in their head and how much money his employer would pay him for returning it. At some point during the convo though it becomes apparent that Vince is acting completely on his own - he's here with a random motorcycle, there's no backup, etc.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Vince will confess that he's planning his exit from Arasaka in the near future and wants to gather as much incriminating intel on his superiors and colleagues as possible to ruin their lives even worse than they ruined his. It's up to the player whether or not they believe him that xD Either or, in some way or another, Vince will have the information he wants by the end of the convo and the player is free to go.
Tumblr media
If they've been cooperative or otherwise understanding, a male player can try to flirt with him, because why the hell not xD I think Vince would be down for a one-night-stand in the way it's possible with Meredith and Rogue (maybe right there on that bike, who knows 👀)
Either or, he will eventually leave, the quest will complete, and if the player helped or was otherwise cooperative, they may receive an update from an unknown number some time down the line thanking them for the help in starting over once more.
This was seriously so much fun to think about, can highly recommend putting your blorbos into even more situations as an NPC like this :D I might make this conversation layout as a little "for general use" template somewhere down the line, cause I'd love to see some of your characters and how they would be like as NPCs!

Uquiz Roundup
Alright, I've been tagged in several Uquizzes lately, and I'm just going to do them in one post. Here are the links to said Uquizzes:
What kind of suffering are you?
Tell me of your heart and I'll give you a (tragic) love archetype and some advice
what are you doing here?
I've been tagged by @inafieldofdaisies, @voidika, @carlosoliveiraa, @nightbloodbix, @marivenah, @theelderhazelnut, and possibly others.
Since most people have done these, I'll send out a few tags to @bbrocklesnar, @alexxmason, @amalkavian, @captmactavish, @captastra, @clicheantagonist, @fourlittleseedlings, @socially-awkward-skeleton, and @mishwanders. (In the future, if you want to be tagged, feel free to like this post.)
Rooney Shepard
Lonliness
Your heart feels full of the connection you feel you lack. No matter how many people are around you, strangers or not….someone is missing. You don't know who, what, or if you'll ever find them. You're unsure if there's a person out there who'll really satisfy your life, so really what's the point of continuing to look?
(They definitely feel lonely at times, due to expectations placed upon them by themself and others. But I do think Rooney wishes occasionally there was someone who could understand what they're going through.)
04. SUB ROSA
Love is a game of here and there to you. Whether catching glimpse of another's neckline or grazing a knuckle between knocking shoulders of passing by. You have learned to adore in secrecy, the rawness of an outright confession to be spoken a foreign terror. There is ease in pursuing the unavailable, to remain within the space of possibility and nestle the fuzzy words another could say to make or break your day. Instability spun itself into mysterium and while the certainty of love in aging isn't to be forced upon anyone, there is a miniscule part of you testing the limits of ambiguity. Hold down the feeling and settle in the leather seat of a car, kiss the corner of a mouth and say how you feel. Your affection in its vulnerability is to be seen, lift the veil and do not fret when an honest word turns into all you have secretly yearned for. You are meant to be noticed and openly loved.
(So true! It's hard for Rooney to be honest about their romantic feelings.)
drowning (for the sake of it)
You are restless ambition and caffeinated nights. You are dancing-in-the-rain and record-player-breaking-down and god-I-knew-this-would-happen. The world made you the cynic and you cursed the world. You stomped in the mud and now you shout at the sky, but fear it not because you are so much stronger. You must persevere, and survive this night. The next and the next. By and by. You are so much stronger than you think you are. You have a purpose to find within yourself, and it doesn't come from the work you're doing now.
(This feels particularly true for their Cyberpunk universe, especially at the beginning of CP2077 where they feel very jaded.)
Hunter Delaney
Yearning
The pain in your chest bubbles knowing that what you want may never be yours. You're lost in a fantasy world, or consumed by what you wish you were or had as opposed to what you do. It's hard to appreciate what's around you when you're appreciating the hope of what could be instead.
(Spot on. After dying, Hunter yearns for their old life. Eventually, they learn to appreciate the new one.)
07. FATHER'S SON
Breathe down your own neck, it's the sound of smashing fist against furniture in another room again. The wringing hem of cloth and pattern of an escalating heart. Love is tumultous to you. There is grief and disguised forgiveness to damp down the yearning. A permanent fear of tender flesh spilling out, still- you must refrain of growing attached to the fear you had installed into you. Let go of the notion that love is still to be cherished with a hole in the head. Scrub crimson ancestry off wooden floors and try again tomorrow when your hands don't shake cold from the blood loss. Love isn't a fist to escape. Fill the hole in your head with cotton and know you are to be adored. You are deserving of an embrace without flinching.
(Eh, not so sold on this one for Hunter.)
atoning (for someone else)
You are sweet, sweet sorrow. Parting ways at an intersection, an angel's footsteps walking side by side with your own, the shadows of the past looming, looming. You are apologetic-moon-light and loiter-at-the-back-of-the-classroom and stilted-silence and rich-with-life. You are stepping-on-eggshells your way through life, be less careful. Be less careful. You make mistakes, you made mistakes, and you will make mistakes, but imagine growing from them without the wish to go back. Stop restricting yourself. Take a breath of the clean air. Stop breathing in your own secondhand smoke.
(I think this is kind of true. Before dying, Hunter was holding back a lot of themself. Although, now they're more murder-y. So, uh, Good for Them?)
Riley Callahan
The Giver
Your energy depletes as you hand it out to anyone passing by your basket. People walk by and take, but no one ever leaves. You're constantly running on low when people keep asking you to give. You'd give your soul away for free, and then what left do you have of yourself if you can't say no?
(This tracks.)
03. CUPID'S BROTHER
You have been love adjacent all your life. The faint spill of another story that softly grazed your shoulders when stood too close. Whether by design or not, you have yet to build a clear image of what love means to you. The interlocked weaving of a picture locket bound to strand of hair when hugged to tight, the sunpatch that meets your soles in glaring sun dried fields when running with a friend. You are not far from love, but moving between line of collision and avoidance at all times. A faint glimmer on sea lake surface of what could be. There is time to find what you want, find whether it's enough as is. Love is in you, breathing in another day. Continue as you are, realizing the love that is slowly blossoming in your life as it sharpens and clears in brushstrokes.
(It takes Riley a while to realize they are in love. So yeah, this feels pretty on brand.)
shining (for the world)
You are sunshine. You are too bright for this world and you know too much for your experiences. You are not naive, but you are not a cynic. You are not an optimist, but you don't see the point in pessimism. You are bright bells of energy and great pealing laughter and coffee-shop-dates and meet-in-person-lunches and you draw people to you like a magnet with the way you shine. You are bright and drained, drained, drained. You are restless nights, heavy days, broken moons. You deserve a rest. You deserve to release. You cannot carry the weight of the world alone. Share the tasks, be the light, and create the connections.
(Yeah, this absolutely nails Riley.)
Emerson Wright
Despair
The tunnel never had a light. You wish for nothing because you know you'll receive nothing, and your hopes died out long ago. The only thing that keeps you going is the thrill of emptiness you feel when things don't turn out your way. It's bitter. It's proof. Proof that you don't feel this way for nothing.
(Ouch, but yeah, this tracks for Emerson.)
06. CANíBALES; DEVOURER
Love's a knife to skin to you, a vein to woven muscle, blood puddle before you. You listened to all the promises of a stranger's relief and feel the drain of a shower head running it all down again. You committed another murder; kissed and bruised skin with a clench to a quivering wrist and went home in the defeaning quiet of a taxi. There's mold covered rage within you. If to take a heart home with you, you'd bite your way through muscle and ribcage first. Pleasure comes, but there will be no devouring past it. There is fear in settling down and being seen. There is a glass screen between these bodies and you. Relax your tight jaw and feel the real canine fear beneath that scabbed up cavity. The sacrifice of opening up is needed if to be loved as you deeply wish inside. Desire doesn't discriminate between hands or spoken word. Why should you?
(Again, on brand for Emerson. They would rather eat glass than open up.)
drowning (for the sake of it)
You are restless ambition and caffeinated nights. You are dancing-in-the-rain and record-player-breaking-down and god-I-knew-this-would-happen. The world made you the cynic and you cursed the world. You stomped in the mud and now you shout at the sky, but fear it not because you are so much stronger. You must persevere, and survive this night. The next and the next. By and by. You are so much stronger than you think you are. You have a purpose to find within yourself, and it doesn't come from the work you're doing now.
(Interesting that they got the same result as Rooney for this quiz. Emerson is pretty cynical, and I feel like this fits them pretty well.

i am myhouse.wad anon it ok u were fine comerade 👍
what r ur thoughts on gen 9 pokemon?
hmmm idk if u mean gen 9 pokemon as in the pokemon or if u mean the 9th generation of pokemon so ill answer both
i think gen 9 pokemon are... okay. theres a lot of designs i really like and think are fun and interesting, but i think this gen has way more "weird" pokemon than usual. pokemon that just kinda dont look like they really belong there, if that makes any sense? baxcalibur stands out to me as a pokemon that just looks kinda odd, especially with the role its supposed to fulfill in the dex (dragon type psuedolegendary). not that i dislike baxcalibur or anything! i dont know if theres any pokemon in gen 9 i really *hate*, but there are some that i definitely dont love.
i will also say that i think it sucks that all the future paradox pokemon have the exact same thing going on. like, i kinda get it, but it sucks that only a few of them are actually interesting when you look at the past paradox forms and theyre all cool and unique feeling from each other
as for the games themselves... okay so extreme comparison but remember cp2077? full confession i bought that game on release. i was swept up by the hype at least a little bit, but i bought it after all the reviews and shit came out, so its not like i didnt know what i was getting into. and with those expectations in check (and an at-the-time new computer) i played 2077 and really liked it! not a gamechanger by any means but it was a solid, fun video game.
the thing is that it feels super irresponsible to say that about 2077, because in a lot of ways, it is not a solid video game. even on my high end pc i was running into crazy bugs and consistent performance issues regardless of settings, and console players didn't even get to play the game they bought at launch. (as an aside i think its fucking crazy that that game managed to save its reputation because even now im not 100% convinced it deserves to go down as anything other than a dumpster fire)
anyways. that's kinda how i feel about gen 9. technically speaking these games have a lot of problems, the kind of problems that games being released under the flag of one of the most profitable franchise fucking Ever really shouldn't be having. even with that though, they're the most fun ive had with pokemon since gen 5. i love the gen 9 games for reminding me that pokemon can be as fun now as it was when i was 12! but i hate that despite being one of the biggest cash cows ever, pokemon games aren't given the resources to be amazing, just... good enough.

This has been gnawing at my hand for awhile so I'm just gonna get it out there. The whole Kerry Eurodyne and Us Cracks fiasco and why he got so pissed about it. Looking at his relationship to his music in his past, it runs a lot deeper than just a group doing a cover of his song.
First thing I wanna point out is this like a wash of the timeline shown between the TTRPG and CP2077. I'm mixing them, but I'm favoring the dates of events from the TT more so because the actual history of events we get in 77 is from Johnny’s memories, which aren't exactly reliable. That being said, this is just my idea for why Kerry went 0-100 on the Us Cracks girls based on his past. Also shout out to @caffeinatedrogue for bringing up some valid points in this post.
There's a couple things to note about Kerry’s relationship with his music; he didn't do it for the money, the fall out with Johnny after 2013 incident, and what he confesses in game about the fear of being in shadows another corpo sellout.
From the top its important to know that Kerry signed away all authorship of the songs by Samurai to Johnny, meaning he wasn't credited or paid for the songs themselves, only when preforming unless they had background deals going on. So when Samurai was first starting out Kerry wasn't making anything off the songs. He had a passion for the music itself, and the message he could write into the lyrics. They all wanted to change the world, just had different ways of going about it. Kerry wrote about a number of injustices he saw and experienced, but more often than not the lyrics were just tied back to tearing down the Corpos, and that was something he had to live with. Can lead a horse to water but can't force it to drink. Didn't help that Johnny pushed his own version and agenda onto a lot of the songs, and because they were his songs by technicality, couldn't argue against it. This would lead to him having an on and off relationship with Samurai until the band's break up in 2007.
After going solo Johnny and Kerry still did tours and help each other on albums, occasionally even have the other featured on songs. However, do to Kerry having signed away authorship for the old Samurai songs those were still Johnny’s. Which brings us to April 13, 2013 - Assault on Arasaka. Johnny was the diversion for the attack, knowing the fans of Samurai he hosted the event under the bands name, playing Samurai songs. After this Kerry became more aggressively possessive over his music, Johnny knowingly abused his trust of using Samurai songs Kerry wrote and composed to lead a riot that killed 18 people and wounded over 50. Johnny denied leading the riot, or even starting saying it was all on the fans. The denial alone was enough to get the attention of Solos and Netrunners, people even like Rache Bartmoss who would claim Silverhand was a corporation all his own, playing by corpo rules.
So at this point, Kerry has no control over any of his previous music. Through the acts of Johnny, anything related to Samurai was tied to the riot. Lyrics were falling on forever deaf ears and the original stories and meanings were washed to time. He didn't just write songs, they were part of him, they were his stories, his sacrifices just as much as everyone else's. That trust was broken, and no one knew, and they would just continue to say Kerry Eurodyne was chasing after the legacy of Johnny Silverhand.
So he was going to make them eat those words. Made a name for himself that toppled over anything Johnny or Samurai ever accomplished. But it wasn't enough, always someone pointing out the flaws, the failures, the lyrics still being lost to the masses. These were things he couldn't control, things he had to work through. Then came the situation with Us Cracks and his song User Friendly, and that control he had was gone. His song, his lyrics, taken without him knowing, promoted and used. Blowing up the van, and holding the girls at gun point was just a smidgen overboard but its understandable. People have a tendency to be driven to destruction when they feel they have no control in their lives. Destruction is something they create, something they control.
Once its all explained and find out they both got duped by labels and managers, its a new start. Finds out the girls aren't to blame and they actually respect his work, they value his opinion and input on their stuff enough they send him demos. The fact that they called off the gig and the whole tour because they know what it means to Kerry, no matter the millions lost. Pushes back the shadow and doubt put on him all the way in 2013. Shadow he had been running from ends up having a light shined on it.
The music is his now, and everyone worth a damn respects that.

Confession #235: I wish this game had more romance options. Not like the Dragon Age kind of options but still more than just one for each type...

Confession #243: I'm sad the relationships, story, et al feel so half-baked. I want to have more of a continuing romance with people, see them evolve alongside the game's events, get to change how things progress beyond one or two scripted paths. I just wish it didn't feel so much like a frankenstein's open-world made of all the leftovers from other games.

Confession #233: I hate how we can't change or get new tattoos or hair or piercings or get this cool cyberwear the NPCs have as well as some very cool clothes. I know there's mods but my experience with games like Skyrim have tought me to wait until all fixes and DLCs have been released until bothering with mods. But still it's sad that CDPR didn't make all that stuff possible. I just wish all that cool stuff was available... Maybe the upcoming DLCs can change that, I really hope so.

Confession #241: I wish that they had dedicated a larger portion of the game to the Streetkid intro, it introduced some characters with small interesting details like Big Joe and Padre who you can still visit after the prologue but deserve much more presence.
