only just realized ao3 updated the cyberpunk/cyberpunk red gen tag to be cyberpunk 2077 instead so i like to imagine some extremely confused fan of the game stumbling on a bunch of fics about people like dapper dasha and burger chainz and being like "wtf?? how did i miss these characters?? and why does this small group of people write about them all being gay"

sometimes a family is an amnesiac forum moderator, winona ryder but if she was six feet tall, and a himbo. Also it is the apocalypse

I’m so pissed on behalf of my 2020 self who got literally carried out of the pandemic depression bc of polygon. Vox media count your fucking days

the first rule of cyberpunk is to be as cool as possible but the secret first rule is actually to be as cringe as possible becsuse this makes you infinitely cooler

now that i’ve played a bit of cyberpunk 2077 it's like. goddamn. polygon's cyberpunk red game was REALLY GOOD bc jenna GETS it, you know? because she just knows so much about cyberpunk, what it's supposed to be about. it's a dystopia, but it's a dystopia where people can still make decisions and do what they want to. and it makes perfect sense to introduce a character who runs a non-profit service helping people get clean! addiction is a major affliction built into the mechanics of most cyberpunk games; it's an ingenious way to acknowledge that while also acknowledging that at their core, a lot of people are good people and want to help. not to mention it's a great way to acknowledge that side of the cyberpunk genre while maintaining the more lighthearted tone that polygon goes for.

and the way she builds the whole thing is really ingenious. like, hypo's clinic is not entirely unproblematic! he keeps it running by blackmailing a guy who gets him stolen goods from trauma team! but even that is more multifaceted - because trauma team is so deeply problematic as an institution, and then you realize that mat pack is dead and actually a DIFFERENT warehouse worker has been purposefully stealing from trauma team because they feel that they owe hypo for his altruism even though he doesn't even have any idea; it's such a neat combination of morally grey wrongdoing and faith in the fundamental kindness of humanity. maybe this means i'm not a True Cyberpunk Fan but i like an interpretation of the genre that highlights the hope and kindness in a really messy and dangerous world.
