I do enjoy that Judy and River both have a similar thing going on where it's like "I'm a fundamentally good and idealistic person of immense integrity banging my head against the brick wall of corruption that plagues this city. please help me rescue my loved one from truly horrific circumstances as I learn to accept that I cannot fix this city but I can make small but meaningful differences in both my life and the lives of those around me."

meanwhile, Panam and Kerry are both like "I am suffering a bit of an identity crisis because of the lack of approval I received from a stubborn male authority figure who I still care very much about. I'm going to deal with this in the most emotionally healthy manner I can think of: by blowing shit up and causing billions of dollars' worth of property damage. hold my beer."

my biggest petty complaint about Cyberpunk 2077 is that they don't let you listen to the radio outside of your car/specific areas where there are fixed radios. John Falloutgames is canonically sneaking around nuclear wastelands blasting big band music at full volume from the world's bulkiest Apple watch, but V can't find a pair of working headphones, a thing I have in real life, in all of Night City?

"cyberpunk 2077 is my comfort game," I say before crashing my motorcycle into oncoming traffic and being flung face first into the road.

actually, it's my full time job to use this game's photomode to take dead wife pictures of River Ward.

I've been playing this game on and off for two years and I just found out you can brake while driving.

I really can't believe I'm in two different video game fandoms where there's a male love interest who starts the game as a cop before leaving because he can't play by the rules, but one of them's reason for leaving is "I'm mad the other cops won't let me shoot people with impunity. >:(" and the other's is "I sincerely tried to do things by the book and not use unnecessary violence, but I still got suspended because kept beating my head against the brick wall of corruption that is law enforcement in this city because I truly believe in justice and helping people." and the former is the one who is universally beloved by the fandom and the latter is not.

renting the Japantown apartment before doing the Wakako gig in the same building is always so funny because when Johnny starts pitching a fit about how the only places you take him are "roach-infested flophouse[s]," it's just like c'mon, man, I live here.

literally all I do in this game is get into motor vehicle collisions and then go home to dress her up and take pictures of her like she's my daughter.
