CyberPunk Episode Six Reaction

Spoilers: David is freezing up over Maine losing control, busting up Kiwi, everyone treating him like crap and a tool, having to risk Lucy's life because of Maine, etc etc. He doesn't know if going with Arasaka is now the better choice.

Yeah, im pretty sure spoilers in anime intros are kind of a cultural thing. Most Japanese media has spoilers everywhere. A good example being the Jojos manga, it literally opens up with an explanation about the mask and exactly what it does. The anime changes that, of course. I think its because theres a lot of competition so they really need to hook you.

This is real modern tragedy. And we are not used to it. Nobody wins in Night City... except the City.

Jeez that episode was tragic. Will miss him

The songs in this episode were so spot on. The visuals of the desert and the end of the road. The flashbacks with Lucy. The reason why Kiwi wears a mask always.This is why the medium is truly artwork.

Omg don’t ever apologize for being passionate :D I get the same way over game lore. So it makes me happy to see other people like that too

I wanna explain why I think David froze in that moment, but it's a big theming device that'll really hit home by the end of the story and I get the feeling you'll be more satisfied if you draw the threads on your own.

How it started: "What's poppin' Patreon!?" How it's going: "I'm not okay..." Never fade away, choom.

Sorry for the word wall too haha I just love talking the lore of video game and tv/movie universes

With cyberpsychosis, scaling down helps a lot, but the real cure/preventative measures are better quality cyberware and believe it or not consistent therapy. The creator of the Cyberpunk universe said that cyberpsychosis is like having roid rage, except it's your chrome that causes it and not a drug -- the immunosuppressants just help slow down the descent. A lot of it has to do with the trauma that the city causes mercs and citizens and the mental strain of using their chrome combined. The better chrome helps with the strain, and the therapy deals with the trauma. Done regularly, you can avoid going cyberpsycho. Unfortunately, most people in Night City can't afford either -- I saw a thread somewhere in a YT reaction that said therapy costs twice as much as Maine's arms in that universe

Send virtual hugs....❤

I recommend you watch the scene with Lucy inside cyberspace again, to see what she found. Might explain some things.

Kevin

I've already finished the series but watching you react to this episode and im in tears again T~T

Every time someone asks David what he wants he just doesn't know what to do, it's heartbreaking. He lives his entire life for others
