Noticed that there are some words in aurebesh on the decoration you get from Arcann's date nights, and decided to translate it (bc I haven't seen anyone mention it). Apparently the words are flipped vertically, that's why I couldn't translate it at first.

So it should look like this, and it says "my purpose lies with you". Sweet and pretty in-character for Arcann, but why is it flipped upside down xD

Aaaaand this is the last one for now... this time it's of something different... the training stage!

Depending on the character chosen on the player 1 and 2 sides, it'll change the background color for those respective sides.

TITLE: "THE GRID"

DESCRIPTION:

"One of the finest training chambers in Elysium, it is here where legends are made."

PER THE "NIGHT SKY" POST--

Hi there. My name is Seta LeCarpetron Flow, known shitposter for the hit 2020 video game Cyberpunk 2077 and generally-unwilling Tumblr funnyguy. If you've stumbled upon this post, congratulations! That means you've seen my shitpost about advertising in the night sky and decided to check out my blog, which eventually led you here. Here's a list of commonly asked questions I see about my shitpost that I thought I'd compile here for your enjoyment.

"Why did you do this?" -- this was a shitpost that escaped containment very quickly and with absolutely no warning.

"Never played the game, can you explain the joke to me?"-- In Night City, the game's setting, holographic advertisements are placed on the top of skyscrapers and scroll upwards for the citizens to look at. The response down below from "@/johnnysilverhandofficial" is a reference to the fact that in the game's canon, main character Johnny Silverhand commits an act of terrorism by blowing up the largest skyscraper in the city. It's a whole thing. The account tweeting, "@/NightCityWire", is the name of the YouTube show where devs of the game would give updates on its progress back when it was still being developed. 'Twitter for Holo' on the bottom is a reference to the fact that in the game, the characters use Holos to communication rather than cellphones.

"Why did you think this would be funny?"-- *'I don't know' noise*, I thought this was gonna hit like, 200 notes at most. The Cyberpunk fandom isn't that big.

"Is it based on something?"-- It's based on this exchange on Twitter that happened a couple of years ago, with a few copy edits. I usually credit inspirations and templates in my posts but again, did not think this post was going to blow up as much as it did.

"What even is the purpose of this blog?"-- CYPK2077 shitposting, generally. Occasionally writing, VP, whinging about lore, and complaining that I can't take photos on PC. The works.

"Are you a roleplay blog?"-- I have no fucking idea why people think this is a roleplay blog. This hardly qualifies as a roleplay shitpost. I don't roleplay. Stop telling people that I'm a roleplay blog in the tags, it's really goddamn annoying.

"Alright, so what's you're biggest issue, then?"-- My biggest issue is that people keep taking this post at face value without understanding the context. That's fine, I get it, the changes I made are not very noticeable and I probably edited it a bit too much, but I need to ensure people that this is a JOKE. It is not REAL. I cannot stress enough that this is a shitpost that got wildly out of hand and it's a little depressing that the state of the world is so whack that people look at this, go "yeah, that's real" and reblog it.

"Why are you making THIS post?"-- Because I've had to read thousands of tags on this post day in and day out lamenting the fall of society and our world's headlong rush towards capitalistic annihilation, and frankly, it kinda wears on me after a while. If I can get at least some person to look at this post and be like "Oh, okay, I get it now" before they reblog it at face value, then I'll consider this worth it in my eyes.

"You know this is kind of passive-aggressive, right?"-- yes, yes it is. But when you've had 27,000 people reblog the stupid shitpost you made in 20 minutes because you were bored at work and seen 95% of them take it out of context and/or make dumb assumptions about you based on it, you'd probably be a little Pass-Agro too.

Thank you for reading my FAQ on this blog's most popular shitpost. Never thought the day would come where I'd need to make this, but here we are.

Currently listening to Too Human’s dev diary and this spurred me into another long-winded ramble. BE YE READY. (Pictured: Various concept art)

The first (and last haha /cries) game ended on a massive cliff hanger! I want to know what happens next, no matter how awful the fate of the characters will be! This world is good enough that it deserves some closure! I live off the hope that there're bits and pieces of the script somewhere stashed in the storage of one of the former devs and that one day… it will resurface… maybe with even more old concept art too, if I dare dream that far.

Seriously, I would love to see a lot more unearthed artwork for this more than from any other game. In the first dev diary, they showcased a wall filled with prints showing off so much stuff. Some of it I’ve seen floating on the internet, others are concepts of characters that were not featured much such as Frey or Hermod.

What an underwhelming fate this game has! Stuck in a limbo where I can’t even say that it has a cult following, such as Black & White (another game very dear to me that is in a similar situation). Most of the perception of this IP is fairly insular from what I observed, and it saddens me.

There’s nothing similar to Too Human out there! While I can find general ideas and aesthetics in other works, this specific combo of world design, character designs and story is unique to it, at least in my eyes.

There are out there iterations similar to the game’s Loki, Heimdall and Thor. They represent a model that I really like. However, this model being placed within Too Human’s universe satisfies some monster in my brain that craves this exact idea.

The artists who worked on Too Human did a wonderful job at concretizing the bleak yet cautiously hopeful atmosphere that haunts this universe. Among that, they also blended some body horror aspects into it as well and I want to talk a bit about that.

The Aesir are a good example with their cybernetic augments where, even the subtlest prosthetics, still have their own unsettling feeling. That might also come with interesting psychological aspects, too.

Heimdall’s holo glasses come to mind where you can see the thin, golden frames attach to his temples and branch out underneath his skin into what looks like purple veins.

A design that was crafted to be elegant still comes across as off-putting. I imagine he would be used to normal people stealthily gawking at him in meeting settings. One of the least rude behaviours that he could receive so he doesn’t complain much about it. Other, less nice, examples would be people treating him like a computer and chalking up any personal achievement to a simple ‘wave’ of his augments. Maybe ODIN himself would over-load him with duties because his cybernetics, that are rapid-information-processing-based, allow him to bear that. His Aesir colleagues might also often forget that he is his own person and not just an extension of their leader, ODIN.

Even Baldur, canonically described as the least augmented of his colleagues, still looks odd to the fellow human soldiers that he commands. Picture being a rookie wolf trooper just starting out to work under this Aesir. You hear your superiors praise him that at he, out of all the other gods, looks like a normal human person.

Then Baldur goes past you, a towering frame of expensive armor with glowing blue scars criss-crossing his face and weird blue eyes. The rune sword mounted on his back growls at you as its owner went on his business. Yes. That is totally a normal person. You feel so represented.

This disparity of perceptions circles back to the trans-humanist theme prevalent in this game (huhu Too Human title pun huhu). It’s obvious that the writers wanted to do so much more with what they already had in the game, but had to omit a lot. I mostly blame the Epic lawsuit that later on killed both the company and any hopes of a trilogy.

God(s), I’m repeating myself like a broken record, but this is why I’m so in love with this game. I could make up headcanons all day based on the little information that there is out there and it still would fit with the official bit of the story. This could have had a chance for a huge collaborative project that could’ve gone on and on.

AND YET.

He's dead, Jim.

He's gone and died.

He's croaked off.

I'm (not) sure why.

So far I have a dream that one day Denis Dyack, the original creator of the story, will give this a re-bound… one day.

Pinned Post - Get to know me!

hihi! my name is Holo (it’s an alias so I can retain some anonymity on here lol)

this blog is mostly devoted to star trek tng because it’s my first hyperfixation in about 6 years and I’m thrilled to have the worms wriggling through my brain again

I’m 24

I’m a pansexual, cisgender woman (she/her)

I’m undiagnosed autistic (with many, many years of reasonable belief in hindsight)

I’m from the UK

I’m an aspiring game dev!

my asks and messages are open!

things to know about me (fandom-wise):

I do ship Qcard, but I am very very down bad in love with Q so expect a lot more of that kind of thing than Qcard posting (I am very selfish ik)

If you are a selfshipper whose f/o is Q and you’re uncomfortable with sharing, please be advised of the above - I personally have no issue with y’all and love seeing you interact with my posts but I do try to be mindful of you guys’ DNIs

This blog has become very dominated with Q-posting over the past few weeks but my other faves are Data, Geordi and Deanna (the silly squad)

Fuck it I love all of them really those guys are my respectful intelligent family

I feel very loosely towards most ships regarding the show - if it’s cute I’ll enjoy it lol

I may occasionally post non-fandom stuff like programming, personal rambles and memes. I deeply apologise.

uhh idk anyone nasty and mean ig

I may come back to edit this as and when appropriate.

thanks for reading!!!

[notttt-che]

Maybe soon? IDK It was more of a test...

I plan to return with the monthly dev reports! I might be off on September so hopefully by then I can post updates as I used to!

[dededaio]

i was about to say that technically holo defense api foreshadows star dream in their pause text but i actually looked into it and

1. its for 2.0 which you dont encounter until AFTER you’ve met star dream so its not foreshadowing

2. it’s a pause text and lets be honest pause texts are not a good way to reveal important information and it’s kind of lazy!

3. THIS STILL DOESN’T CHANGE THAT HDA CONCEPTUALLY IS AN INCREDIBLY LAZY BOSS DEV-WISE SINCE THE ONLY NEW BOSS IS ICE DRAGON. I WHOLEHEARTEDLY STILL THINK IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN COMPUTER VIRUS INSTEAD IMAGINE HOW COOL THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN

I literally don't get how we didn't get Computer Virus in Robobot. It would be such an obvious inclusion. Heck, I would forgive reusing past bosses more if they framed them within Computer Virus cuz them being stuck in turn based "fight" gives them more of a unique flavor. But alas...

Robobot is probably the epitomy of my issue in terms of repetition, funnily enough. It got probably the most uninspired possession plotline in the series (MK gets two fights in the game, first of which is completely pointless both narratively and gameplay-wise and he doesn't get to do much in the climax), the biggest reusage of bosses from the past games across main game and team kirby clash subgame and structure of the climax being nearly identical to triple deluxe to the point of being hilarious (you fight your mind controlled friend, actual main antagonist freaks out and tosses aside their subordinate to take situation in their hands after brief speech, they fail and in last ditch effort fuse with the important artifact of the game which causes the loss of their sense of self and eventual death)

[totallynotgayforyou]

My Little Video Game Review

Okay so this is a review of all the games i've played in 2022 cause i have thoughts and opinions. This isn't in any particular order either.

Going Under

Going Under was a fun little indie rouge like where you start work at a social media company and have to delve into the companies dungeons to improve within the company

its very funny and silly and doesn't take itself too seriously while also being very obvious with its anti capitalist themes

I had a really good time playing it 7/10

Boyfriend Dungeon

Boyfriend Dungeon is a dungeon crawler plus dating sim where you're weapons are your love intrests

This was a very fun game along with all the pretty people you're romancing and with the different weapons you can have, the writing is really good and theres a good selection of datable characters

the story is a tad short but i with all the different romance paths you can go down each character has their own story. 7/10

Psychonauts 2

Psychonaughts 2 Like the the previous game, the player controls Raz, an acrobat that is training to become a Psychonaut, a member of a task force that uses their psychic abilities to stop those that perform nefarious deeds with their own psychic forces

This game has a very classic platformer vibe and doesn't dissapoint with how fun it is. The story is very fun and emotional and has some really good writing and theming when it comes to mental health

also theres gays in it so cant complain there. 9/10

Back 4 Blood

Back 4 Blood is a spiritual succsessor to Left 4 Dead where you play as 4 characters killing hordes of aliens

Theres nothing really to write home about this game, i didn't enjoy it at all. I don't have much to say so 4/10

Doom Eternal

Doom Eternal follows our beloved Doom Man/Guy/Slay Er in defeating the forces of hell again.

The gameplay has been improved from 2016 and gives you a bigger arsenal to really go to town on these demons as well as the music being absolutely incredible 9/10

What Remains of Edith Finch

This game follows a woman who returns to her family home to uncover buried secrets that her mother hid from her.

Its a wonderfully sad story about a quirky family and their big silly house that you must uncover by traveling through the house. 9/10

Tacoma

This game follows a Woman visiting an abandoned space station in order to aquire the ships A.I

Throughout the station are augmented reality holo videos of the crew that you must uncover if you are able to peice together what happend. If you've played gone home its by the same developers.

Its a very relaxing game with a satisfying story 8/10

FAR: Lone Sails & FAR Changing Tides

These games are 2D sidescrollers that have you play as a child in some post apocalyptic world controlling a huge vehicle in order to traverse the world.

Its a very chilling and interesting game about taking care of the machine while it takes you wherever you're going 7/10

Resident Evil Village

I did finally get to this game this year and it didn't dissapoint. In this you play as Ethan who has settled down with his wife mia and child in somewhere vaugly eastern europe cause the devs don't know any countries in that area. Blah Blah baby gets kidnapped by quirky evil villains and you have to save her from Lady "All i wanna do is see you turn into a giant woman" Dimitresc

An extremely fun game if you like seeing your hands be mutilated 8/10

Immortals Fenyx Rising

In this game you play as "Insert Guy/Girl here" where you are tasked with saving the Greek gods from the god Typhon and their own egos.

It's basically Ubisofts answert to Breath of the Wild but you get wings and its also really fun. If you're looking to scratch that Zelda itch or your just a greek mythology gay then this is the game for you.

MoonLighter

Have you been struck by the autistic need to want to Sell Things in a Shop but dont want to leave the comfort of your bed? Well look no further.

In this game you play as some guy who fights through a dungeon killing monster to sell their precious airlooms to people. It's genuinly a fun game if you like that sort of stuff 7/10

Soma

Soma is a game where you're suddenly transported to an underwater facility with killer robots. And when i say you i mean some random canadian guy.

Seriously though this game really delves deep (aha get it) into the ideas of transhumanism and what does it mean for a person to be a person.

Its also about taking forever to actually get to the place you want to go 8/10

Fall Guys

Those guys sure do fall 4/10

Metal Hellsinger

Do you want to play a game about a demon lady and her cowboy skull bf? then you should give this game a go

as a lover of Doom and Rhythm games this was a fun ride and you too can play it if you love games that need extreemly specific button presses just to get anywhere. 6/10

Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy

The guaridans of the galaxy hit the video game sphere with a genuinly great game, the gameplay is a real time strategy type thing in the vain of the FF7 remake but not as good cause you only play as Starlord.

The dialoge and writing are honestly really good but if you can handle the Chrisp Rat knockoff and his whining then you'll love it 7/10

Hardspace Shipbreaker

In the hyper capitalist future you must pay off your debt of existance by throwing ship parts into a furnace.

This is a great game if you just want to waste some time or if you just like to take things apart and throw them in a fire 8/10

Scorn

Scorn is a game about... something something penis.

Is this game an intersting introspection about the how treating people as if they were insignificant and using their bodies as a power source can lead to becoming detatched and eventually lead to you're own downfall? Yes.

Is it fun to play? No 4/10

Overwatch 2

Its like Overwatch 1 but with a Battle Pass and some key chains

The Callisto Protocol

As a Dead Space lover i really wanted to like this but it just felt like a mediocre version of it. The gameplay, the story and the characters all just seem like its missing something i cant quite put my finger on.

I guess the main guy is hot so 5/10

Bayonetta 3

Oh Bayonetta its such a shame the multiverse parasites got you. The thing about this game is that its an extreemly fun game, everything about the gameplay is 10/10 but the story and characters just fall flat

its a no from me dearest cereza 7/10

Please note that the star pieces in the shop (that cost topaz) are only available during the first week of a new character release. During holo, the first transcend is at a discount and costs 500 topaz instead of 1K topaz (the first transcend always costs topaz and every transcend afterwards requires an elixir). Evolve/6P+ is always obtainable outside holo for every 6P character.

[vtuberconfessions]

I hate how the Hololive community dismisses any criticism as some sort of Anti Psyop. If you critique or call out Unicorns and the live/stars divide, you're an anti. If you critique any time management drops the ball, you're an anti. If you express that Cover should book bigger stadiums or do more to push xyz, you're an Anti. Cover is def the best agency company in my opinion, but it's not perfect. It's never been perfect. Putting it on a pedestal as if it can do no wrong is is a set up for disaster.

[norfkid]

been thinking about extensive open-world games like cyberpunk 2077. it’s just struck me how on the surface these games let you carve out your own story. you can grind as long as you like, complete all the side missions, customise and upgrade your character and equipment... but it's pretty much set up for you to do certain main-storyline missions in a certain order anyway.

doesn't matter how many side missions you do or how long you take, you inevitably reach the same outcome. and knowing v ultimately dies in the end no matter which path you go down makes me think these games are actually just trying to teach us to slow down in life.

you can ignore all the side missions and relelationship developments and gigs and bounties if you want. you can never discover the tribute to the roy batty's "tears in rain" monologue from blade runner or find his niche in the columbarium. you can never find the hidden room in the kabuki roundabout dedicated to the cdpr dev team. you can never call up jackie's holo after he dies to leave him voicemail he'll never get to listen to… voicemails about his funeral and his how his mum’s doing, about johnny and your v's progressively worsening health... you can look up walkthroughs and wiki pages to artificially get the specific ending you want for your protagonist, and for the sake of progression and (main) storyline you can probably finish the game at level 20. but even then the levels are capped at 50 so how long does the novelty even last.

at first you have no idea where you're going and the extent of what's to come, and before you know it v is on their death bed. so many of these opportunities and interactions can be missed if you don't wait around long enough or actively choose to go somewhere, explore smth, or talk to someone, and it's a deliberate design so reflective of real life too.

i know it's smth we're told time and time again, but if you're like me then videogames convey these things in a particularly agonising (positive) way. like, when's the last time you stopped to watch a stranger playing guitar on the street just bc you could. it's a bittersweet message that makes my heart ache… take your time and enjoy the little things before it all passes you by…

[vole-mon-amour]

I kinda regret making my fist and main V nomad. It was my first playthrough and I read somewhere that nomad is supposed to be canon, so I went with that. Now I have a character with all legendary gear, lvl (?) 60, and I do most (if not all) gigs with her.

And I dislike when the unique [NOMAD] reply pops up cause it definitely doesn't feel right. I like the idea of Corpo V, but when I actually went with thg route, the way Corpo was ready to praise the Arasaka dude? Eugh, that didn't feel right either.

I like the idea of Corpo V being screwed, thrown on the street, becoming a merc and absolutely HATING corpos. "Been one of them. Know how they operate." I like the Corpo being a bit of a snob, trying to boss people around at times (like at Conpeki Plaza. Mean but fun), but no way she would praise Hanako or any of her family.

I feel like Street Kid is a decent balance between Corpo and Nomad, but I think the devs didn't put enough thought in creating them. Not knowing Jackie, not personally knowing Rogue, not crossing paths with Rogue before (considering street V was raised by fixers and mercs, I find all of that very weird). I think I also kinda dislike where and how we start as a street kid?

So basically, I don't think any of those actually suit me the way I'd like to play. If I were to create another character that would suit me the best, I wouldn't know what to go with. My heart says Corpo, but then I get flashbacks to how in awe Corpo was to see the holo of Saburo and it makes me 🤢. So then my logic tells me Street kid, but I'm on the fence about that as well.

But roaming roads and deserts as a Nomad? Having a clan you're supposed to be loyal to, but you, as a player, have no actual idea of what your clan is and what their story is? Absolutely not. Though you get to see the iguana and talk about your car, which is kind of nice.

Either way, I'd like to max out my relationship with Johnny, which means oil fields, which means starting from scratch. And I'd like to romance Kerry, but as a female. I don't want to play as a male again, it feels weird to me. :/

And omg, the idea replaying that horror part in phantom liberty? Don't make me do that again. 😭

FROM THE CAESAR FILES

Aside his deep bond with RD, were 2 other v. big names in Rajesh Khanna's closest circle - Kishore Kumar & Shakti Samanta. The story of how this first association came into being, is also most infotaining. Infact connected to Rajesh's own beginnings in the big league. So happens that great singer & Music director Hemant Kumar was remaking a Bengali superhit into the now legendary 'Khamoshi' in Hindi, in late 1967 or so, whose director Asit Sen wanted Dev Anand as lead, but Waheeda Rehman, it's signed heroine, was deeply impressed by this young man from his first 5 films over past 2 yrs, films he got very good reviews for,& passed very high recommendation for him instead, so Hemant who was also eyeing the boy,had him signed. Thus began shooting when a fine evening Hemant arrived at Rajesh's accommodation for instructions on the next day, & saw Rajesh coolly smoking away with his friends. Rajesh got so embarrassed at being caught smoking, he instantly almost apologized & asked Hemant da why didn't have him called to his place instead, than having to see them so. Hemant got amused at the high sensitivities as also respect for elders displayed by the lad, & while going away, was quietly asked who was singing the bridge song, & if he could take Kishore Kumar as his voice for it! Hemant had someone else in mind, as Kishore was not hot property for quite sometime, but see how fond he was of Rajesh, & as twas his first demand ever, agreed, & gave Kishore Kumar the song & as would turn out, Kishore's first big hit after very long! Ofcourse also giving Ind Cin it's greatest ever actor-singer duo! Here's the song! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDXFi3avqo0 Cut to 3 yrs down the line, to Meena Kumari's last film 'Dushman', with Khanna excitedly in lead. Music Dir Laxmikant had a qawwali song in mind, for which Kishore, Rajesh Khanna's whole & sole voice by then,wasn't used to & comfortable with at all, & practically refused to comply. Just then Khanna,who was narrated this impasse bts,arrived at studios in his green car,entered the room,sat next to Kishore, & began his quiet cajoling. "Ki holo dada! Gaane ka nahi hai kya, babumoshai?" with that mischievous look in his eye. Kishore explained,but Khanna turned to Music Dir Laxmikant & said "If he's not singing it, I'm not acting in it!". Kishore knew the emo blackmailing of his friends, & quietly acquiesced,resulting in Bolly's Top 5 quawwalis in history,& a big feather in LP & Kishore's cap!
