Cyberpunk 2077

81 Hours played

Edit after playing through The Heist mission in Act I (the first major mission that brings you into the main plot):
I love story games. Legend of Zelda, Detroit: Become Human, the Half-Life games, or anything similar all seem to really make me happy. I love how they work, I love how they play, I love their designs.

But I've never had a story game like Cyberpunk 2077.

As a choose-your-own-path game, you can decide how you interact with other players and how your story might flesh out in a wonderfully crafted alt-futuristic setting. These characters are expertly crafted both visually and audibly, making their actions and words feel natural in any given situation you may find yourself in.

The gameplay is simple yet complex; with perks you can modify to your choosing and an inventory and crafting system that seem intuitive even for the casual player. Gunplay is fun and beautiful, and at times will make you feel like a certified badass.

The story is riveting and emotional, gripping the player in their heartstrings and holding tight. It feels natural and comfortable, no matter how you may choose to play, to see what it feels like to become V.

I cannot express enough how much this game has me attached. I love story games, but Cyberpunk 2077 goes beyond that feeling. It is a masterpiece (despite some launch hiccups like small bugs and few crashes) that genuinely exceeded my already high expectations.

I have not yet finished the story, in fact I'm just getting started with the main plot. Cyberpunk 2077 has such a well-designed world that my endless replayable runs will have me entertained for quite some time.

--------------------------------------------------------
[Review after just a few hours in the Prologue]
This is a phenomenal game.
On launch, there has been a small bunch of glitches (some that other friends have not seen) like foliage being visible on top of everything even when it is behind objects like buildings. Regardless, nothing seems to have been game breaking or upsetting just yet, unless you really want cinematic screenshots right off the bat.

I am thoroughly enjoying the story so far (only having completed the Prologue by the time of writing this), and I am excited to see how things progress from here.

This IS the game we have all been waiting for. Buy it.

Why the Second Amendment is important

"Why any sane human being can believe in the possibility of universal peace is more than the CONSERVATIVE can fathom. The essential pugnacity and treachery of mankind is only too evident; and that every nation, even though pledged, would actually abolish means of warfare is absolutely unthinkable. Should the entire civilized world agree simultaneously to disarm, one or more nations would undoubtedly retain secret armaments and at the proper time take advantage of their more altruistic and less astute contemporaries in a wild career of conquest against unarmed victims. To say that higher culture would reason away the causes of war is complete idiocy. (...) No country is, or ever can be "above" warfare, until the basic impulses of the human animal shall have miraculously changed."
"Aversion to just war can arise from one of four causes; (1) unconscious physical cowardice engendered by long years of peace, (2) hysterical idealism produced from incomplete training in pure science, (3) mental bias derived from an erratic, temperamental intellect, and (4) that plain, obtuse servility which copies and spreads the opinions of others."
"(...) Theodore Roosevelt's famous speech of August 25, 1915, marks a momentous change in American public sentiment. It is the beginning of the end of supine submissiveness (...) on the part of the majority. Americans will henceforth be less eager to drug themselves with arguments and theories; they will prefer to face bare Truth, and to know that men must fight to keep what they have; that in this world of sin nothing exists unless there exists behind it the stern physical power to defend and preserve it."
- H. P. Lovecraft, October 1915, The Conservative

Probably one of the better and more eloquently explained ways of peace in general and how widespread permanent peace is physically impossible within a mentally superior race like Humans that have the divine gift of free will.

It touches specifically on Nation-based peace, as all nations demilitarizing / disarming themselves in a global agreement is not possible, as one nation may think "that nation over there has been my enemy and been on thin ice for centuries, what is keeping them from saving a couple of weapons in secret to strike at me later after everyone is disarmed and unprotected? I can't count on the countries I DO trust to protect me since they're disarming too. I have to ALSO arm in secret to prevent that"

This same logic can be applied to the reasoning behind individual liberties on the right to protect family, community, self, and property carefully laid out within the United States' Second Amendment.

Inability to understand that no matter how many claim to agree to disarm and never act in an uncivilized way towards another, there will ALWAYS be people who cheat the agreement, try to find loopholes, or completely ignore any regulations, laws, rules, or moral promises in place in order to have the ability to act in an overpowering manner towards another.

We are emotional beings, and that includes anger and hatred. It is impossible to expect every single human to act in a civil, perfect manner, and attempting to regulate or force that is a literal hypocritical way of allowing a ruling or governmental entity to have "the upper hand" on power and infringement on an individual, group, or community's values and rights.

Therefore, the United States' Second Amendment solidifying a legal position on the inalienable right to bear arms is the most morally sound way to allow every individual, group, family, community, and nation (although not dictated outside the US by the 2A), the ability to defend and protect through strategic and overpowering force against any foe that wishes to sleight, inhibit, infringe, or block said inalienable rights of the entities thereof without prejudice.

"A soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him."

YIKES GUARDIAN OF THE WAY Mar 19 @ 8:47am

Greetings, I am brother Yikes, please contact me because I would like to sincerely discuss theological/doctrinal differences, if there are any, for the purpose of winning the other over of course.

First, there is a difference between Argument & Debate and being Argumentative. We should always just agree to disagree rather than an honorable and respectful dialogue devolving into being argumentative.

Secondly, many misunderstand certainty to be arrogance when one is only free from doubt yet remaining humble because without humility & remaining Fair-minded, one would never learn from anything or anyone thereby creating an dangerous information echo chamber.

I look forward to engaging in meaningful dialogue with you. At the end of the day, any discussion quoting the Word of God; the Bible will not come back void, Amen!
