Having just finished rewatching it, I can confirm that Cyberpunk Edrunners still kicks ass.

Oh boy! I get to make use of that one decision theory course I took in university. Anyway, in decision theory, you can't generally say that any one individual preference is irrational, but when looking at a set of preferences, you can determine whether they're self-consistent.

Ngl, I've come to distrust stories like this because of how many of them read like wish-fulfillment fanfic.

This actually gets at one of my issues with the red button/blue button problem, which is that it doesn't define what happens if someone just...doesn't push either button. In all the online button polls you see, there was likely a large number of people who saw the poll, but just didn't answer it.

OK, having played and completed a (mostly) pacifist run of this, I suppose I'll give my thoughts on it. TL;DR: Unfortunately, this falls into a category of game that I can more easily describe as "interesting" than as "enjoyable".

Hot take: I think a continuation of the story, rather than a direct adaptation, was probably the right call. The best video game adaptations (i.e. Arcane, Cyberpunk Edgerunners) usually just tell new stories in the same universe, rather than directly adapting the plot. deadline.com/2026/02/bald...

I've been of the opinion for a while that more open-world games should just embrace lower-urgency main stories. This does not seem to be a very common opinion.

Personally, I like evil choices, but I'm not a fan of edgelord choices (choices which exist primarily for lists of "Top 10 Most CURSED Choices In _____", and which non-psychopath characters have basically no reason to take). Unfortunately, most "evil" paths in games tend towards edgelordism.

OK, I'll give my capital-T Take on this. There's a thread running through a lot of the other quote skeets, which is that there's a bright dividing line in fiction with "Lore/Worldbuilding" on one side and "Themes" on the other, and only dumb nerds care about the former. I rather strongly disagree.

OK, since the question of whether video games are art seems to be coming up again, I want to ask another, related question: Are board games art?

As a side-note, I kind of hate how what a lot of people call "media literacy" tends to focus more on interviews with the creators than the actual work itself.

Oh come on! There are dozens of eyewitness accounts (including several from First Order sources) that corroborate Rey's account of Luke's appearance on Crait. The explanations that the revisionists have resorted to (mass hysteria! Force hypnosis!) are frankly rather pathetic.

Random thought: why do I see way more people stanning Luigi Mangione than either attempted Trump assassin? Is it because the latter 2 failed in their attempts, because healthcare CEOs are more viscerally hated than Trump, or some other reason?

2020s fantasy RPGs keep failing the “did Halo 2 do it better with a crab-faced space uggo whose buddies you spent the first game shooting at in a Mountain Dew fueled haze?” challenge. Arbiterheads stay winning.
