Episode 152: Cyberpunk Out Of Its Cyberfunk

PUDCRUST NOOTS

WHAT WE’VE BEEN...

• WATCHING/Reading
  • Cyberpunk: Edgerunners
  • Better than it needed to be, not just cheap marketing material for the game
  • Studio Trigger’s distinct style fits perfectly
  • Distinct cast of characters that are all easy to love, cameos and easter eggs abound
  • Deals with the classic dystopian themes, being a gifted kid,striving for fame, and the eventually breakdown all can lead to
  • Minor themes also explored (but won’t dive into this for time)
  • Stuff from the anime (predictably) made its way into the game
  • Andor (If we both watched it)
  • Takes place 5 BBY
  • Andor looking for his sister, murders two corpo guards
  • Wound tight corpo guy is pushing everyone under him to find the murder, leads some kind of corpo SWAT
  • Flashbacks scenes on Kenari, language isn’t translated
  • Ship crashed on Kenari, something Imperial/Republic carrying something toxic
  • Andor takes what he needs, doesn’t really give anything back
  • Explores a darker side of Star Wars
  • Shulky/Just Jen
• PLAYING
  • Cyberpunk after update 1.5 isn’t a totally broken mess (sometimes) (aslo hit 1 million daily players)
  • DREAMLIGHT FUCKING VALLEY & ANIME
