Yup loved it.
Wish there were more games like it, that focused on interacting with other characters.
In the last 3 days I've been paying attention to r/all, expecting several posts about it and... Yeah Wasn't expecting the website to literally shut down nor to monopolize r/all, because 3rd party users are the minority, but I hoped for more than whatever this was. At least there's a silver lining, I discovered new alternatives that have healthier communities

That’s actually genious

Every year it's the same thing with pre orders

for the new story. Base game owners will receive these updates as well

Honestly? ChatGPT (4) is basically a stackoverflow 2.0. It’s my goto when I want help with specific problems. There are alternative options, is what I mean.
I deleted all my comments on Reddit. I do not want them to benefit from my knowledge even if it might inconvenience someone else

Yeah, this is going to be the only expansion. The next cyberpunk game is already in the works.

Yeah probably, but that’s just me guessing. We’ll know more in the coming months I expect

According to the link, base game owners will also receive these updates.
I’m guessing that the expansion will include the story and (likely) new ending

Wish there was a pin comment feature here.
I’m very excited for this expansion, but at best I’m buying it on the release date
Copying this from another comment /edit: all of these updates are coming to the base game TL;DR: This is not a DLC. This is Cyberpunk 2.0. • virtually every system of the main game has been changed and/or updated • police system is completely reworked with multiple tiers of NCPD/mercs chasing you down in vehicles according to your wanted level, apparently on level 5 maxtac will chase you down and it will be some sort of bossfight against them (source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=riK1i8lQwRM&t=511s) • perks and skills have been completely overhauled, no longer simple passive stat boosts, much more active abilities like different melee finishers, a dash, or the ability to deflect bullets with melee weapons • the difficulty curve is reworked/rebalanced • the loot tiers are reworked • archetypes of enemies have been redone for more variety in combat encounters • an entirely new 6th skill tree that uses a different type of skill points (relic points) that will be used to add new abilities to your cyberware • installing cyberware now has an effect on your body and you cant install too much or else you will go cyberpsycho (no idea what that looks like in game) • installing cyberware now has a first person cutscene added to it, just like in the prologue at Vik’s clinic • you can now “attune” cyberware to one of your attributes, making it more efficient if you have invested in that attribute; example here optical camo is attuned to the “cool” attribute: https://i.imgur.com/1UI9SEX.png • armor is no longer tied to clothing, it instead tied to your cybernetics • vehicle combat is added to the game, you can even use your katana on your bike • vehicles are no longer bought from fixers, but bought through a website set up by mama welles • some vehicles have guns installed on them (machine guns, rocket launchers) • new type of infinitely replayable/repeatable missions are being added where you need to steal certain vehicles marked on your map • new activity introduced “airdrops”, loot caches that drop randomly on the map that you can fight over and retrieve for yourself • tons of new random events/activities are added to make the world feel more alive, like car chases and gang fights

Wonder how they will handle the cure thing.
On one hand, it will be lame if it's just bait for V. Like, really, really, really lame.
On another, if V actually finds a cure then that's more interesting, but it means that they will need to include a new ending for the base game.

I was talking in general and not necessarily about this article alone, although it plays some notes that are common in stories/articles critical of this technology, like using personal individual stories to appeal to emotion. It's an article so yeah I expect them to do that, but when it comes to safety it's better to look at the numbers, as every option will have tragic stories.
We humans suck at picking the better options if we let subjectivism and emotions take too much over the discourse. The US for example had a "war" over seat belts for example.
As for Tesla, not at all surprised about the points the article rose though. Few weeks ago we found out that Tesla asked employees to not register complaints on paper, and there was also the fiasco where employees where sharing around private images of their customers. Tesla is a sick company and I wouldn't be surprised if they have more skeletons in their closet.

can it even be done?

Thanks for the links, will read the second in a bit 👍
Yeah, it's better to learn not to care about what the Gamers™ say. They love to be angry

It isn't surprising, at least with my anecdotal experience, but still higher than I expected. Two girl friends of mine started to play lan parties with us since covid, and I know another that is completely obsessed with Valorant, and another that is equally obsessed with Football Manager.
I tried to find the original study and can't. The only source that everyone points to is this tweet by the executive director of Circana. Anyone knows where I can find it?

Well, if you're up for it then try anyway. I tried to use Pop OS in my gaming machine for some months, then Endeavour OS, despite also having an Nvidia GPU. It was a cool experience, but the small issues I faced started to pile up. The last straw was when I was going to play in a lan party and Company of Heroes just wouldn't start.
I came back to Windows and honestly... It's better for gaming. Things just work. Doesn't matter if it's niche or AAA or has some anti cheat software, it will work. Regardless of your GPU, or updates, etc. No need to check protondb, troubleshoot, waste hours to make a niche game work (Dragon Commander from GOG... I just gave up and bought it again on Steam to be able to play for example), etc etc
But I'm really happy to see how far Linux has come, and hopefully someday it will be as seamless as Windows. My Steam Deck works really well and it's only going to get better, but we're not there yet.

It kind of doesn’t matter which distro you use. They should all work similarly with gaming, there’s no distro with some magic formula that makes it more compatible or with better performance than the alternatives. So pick one that strikes your fancy.
If you’re new, it’s probably better to stick with well known distros. I recommend Mint and Pop OS. Both are based on Ubuntu, so every time you run into an issue or have a questions, you can google solutions for Ubuntu which will also work on Mint/Pop OS. But both also have big communities, so you’ll always have help.
Word of advice that Nvidia and Linux don’t really work that well together. Some games will have issues. AMD GPUs work just fine though.

Yeah this. Maybe I could agree that it’s too soon to be testing these auto pilots on the road, but I dislike how people miss the point with this tech. They set an impossible standard for a technology that could potentially be better than us on the road

Also something weird, when I saw this combo, iamthatis was the first reply. Now it's way down there, despite the upvotes and gilds.
I really don't like putting on the tin foil hat, but since spez admitted in the past that he changed other users comments, I'm calling it, this guy is still messing around with things behind the scenes
There are tools out there that help with this, but the better ones like the one I linked use the API. I don’t know what will happen to them next month, but if you are thinking about it, keep in mind that they may not be around or work like they do today, and you may have to use other more convoluted tools.
