Here's a quote someone used to try to counter my argument but I feel like it kind of helps to explain my argument and might clear up my perspective to you. Songbird has extremely impressive power of course, but what she does is a fraction of an actual Rogue AI's power. So it ultimately doesn't come down to "Is Capri stronger than the black wall or rogue ai" but instead "is Capri stronger than a fraction of a rogue AI", which i think is much more reasonable.

HELLO KIRIL??? LOL

Cyberpunk 2020 had Clones and Engrams, but was missing a Relic like device. Cyberpunk 2077 has Engrams and the Relic, but is now missing cloning (Ignoring Angel in Time of Red). Wonder when we might see it 🤔

The @Cyberpunk_TCG is SO peak. Luckily for you all, the retail release is November 6th!! Will be getting a full length video at some point. It's an insanely strong addition to the IP and EVERY Cyberpunk fan should be involved. (Hanako got me SHAKING 😳)

I'm going to be speaking a lot in my spoiler review of Edgerunners 2.

I still have so many videos on the way. Been having more fun with the thumbnails.

A sneak peak at my next Night City Investigation video. Releasing Halloween :)

The irony of mentioning nuance then simplifying both Kiril and Avida's entire character. Kiril is a company man who struggles to tell the difference between love and pushing Talia to become his idealized version of her. He genuinely believes what he's doing is best for her, so much so that he is confused when she turns against him. His pragmatic, corporate decision making even makes him believe it's just the sensible thing to do to install Talia with Kang Tao cyberware if she needs to do it to survive anyway. None of this makes him a good person nor rights his wrongs, but it gives insight to his character beyond just being a mustache twirling villain. Avida is a mother grieving the loss of her child while she is still present. She will do anything to keep her alive (Including lying to Kingsley and risking his life while he recovers from Cyberpsychosis), even at the expense of Talia's quality of life. She's isolated and watching herself become unrecognizable while having no say in her own life. She's being forced to survive, but not permitted to live. Avida takes this to the extreme when she steals classified files from Kiril's workstation. (Kiril doesn't even truly lie about Soulkiller. It isn't viable in keeping Talia alive). But this endangers his life as he'd be viewed as a traitor to Kang Tao if he doesn't handle it himself. To top it all off, he was under the impression that she had been going behind his back with an ex lover. Then without any input from Talia, makes the choice to Soulkiller (bro SOUL KILL. It's in the name yet she doesn't give it a second thought despite having all the documents for it) her. Based on the ending of the show and everything Talia has said, she clearly doesn't want to be placed in another body. She has no interest being forced to survive. She wants to enjoy the time she has and die as herself. Everything Kiril and Avida do can be considered extremely selfish and harmful to eachother and Talia. Yes, Kiril is worse, but it's not just cause he's some evil soulless villain. Avidia DOES love Talia and her desires come from a good place, but she always makes TERRIBLE decisions.

I'm going to say it. If Kiril deserved the most gruesome death possible, why is Avida considered innocent? She was guilty in her desire to keep Talia alive by any means possible. She was willing to take it as far as SOULKILLER. She was even placing Kiril's life on the line by stealing the documents from his work computer. She also put Kingsley's life on the line while he was recovering from Cyberpsychosis. Under the guise that Talia is his daughter. Kiril might be worse, but she's not innocent.

Becoming a Legend is a dream that Night City itself designed. Corporations have built an entire economy around outsourced, deniable mercs willing to die chasing a dream sold to them by the very system exploiting them. They should be warnings, not something to strive for. Why do you think Blackhand dipped out of the spotlight?

I'm still not convinced that Capri isn't punching through the Blackwall in some form. The Blackwall itself acts as a vulnerability in the Net if you're capable of getting through it. It's present on every device and typically the least protected area in a network. So basically if you can hop between sides, devices become completely vulnerable to you. Doesn't mean she's using rogue AI. Even as an amalgamation of engrams, I find it difficult to believe she can simultaneously hack everything she does without this loophole. And don't get confused by the "escape across the Blackwall" line. She can still cross it while being tethered to the host body like any other netrunner does.

"V is the strongest Night City Legend" Is this your goat? 😭

I mean they just used male V for marketing 2.5

Best frame in Edgerunners 2

This isn't V in Edgerunners 2. Not even the same facial chrome or haircut. Sick of all the news articles stating it like fact.

It is actually tragic you can't dual wield the M-76E Omaha

A sneaky little Cyberpunk 2077: Blackout reference in 2.5 😌

Nobody is ready for this conversation. D + Capri mop every character that has a physical body and any cyberware installed. V, Songbird, Smasher, name em. Songbird was hooked straight to the Blackwall and still wasn't moving like D was. She even kept blacking out and got captured by MaxTac. "Capri can hack or destroy any electronic system in an instant"

Mike Pondsmith already spoke on this. I imagine Capri is the same scenario because she's crazy and this time around is composed of even more engrams.

First time I've been left speechless by a show in years... Disrespectful doesn't even begin to describe it.

I watched Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 early, and it deserves a 9/10. CD Projekt Red and Studio Trigger had some massive shoes to fill, but this sequel surprised me in the best way possible. Rather than simply repeating season 1's formula, Edgerunners 2 establishes its own identity while delivering another compelling story about life in Night City. Most impressively, it does this without leaning on cameos, iconic cyberware, or nostalgia for the original. One of its biggest strengths is the cast: D — A Nomad netrunner with a tragic past whose emotions threaten to get in the way of finding those responsible for his clan’s death. His journey explores the destructive consequences of revenge. Roman Carax — An aspiring filmmaker obsessed with capturing real stories from Night City. In his pursuit of the perfect shot, he becomes so focused on documenting other people's lives that he loses sight of his own. Kingsley — A veteran Edgerunner whose failed Arasaka job sets much of the story in motion. Beneath his reputation and experience lies a complicated man whose past and relationships give his character real emotional weight. Talia — A young girl struggling to find her identity and future while dealing with the physical and emotional burdens of cyberware and the suffocating expectations placed on her by her parents. Avida & Kiril — Two parents whose own desires, fears, and unresolved issues become tangled up in their expectations for Talia, leaving little room for her to decide who she wants to be. The character writing and relationships are what make this season shine. The pacing feels more focused, Kai Ikarashi's direction is fantastic, and the series captures that uniquely Cyberpunk feel. Nearly every moment feels as though I could watch it unfold in-game. All of this plays out against a larger conflict involving a dangerous digital entity, a mysterious biochip, and Kang Tao's pursuit of power in Night City's cutthroat corporate world. It isn't without flaws. A few action sequences push the limits of believability, and I would've welcomed more time to explore the setting. But I came away loving it. Whether you're a longtime Cyberpunk fan or someone coming into the franchise through the anime, there's a lot to appreciate here.

Kingsley had some competition for my favorite character in Edgerunners 2… Kiril. A deeply complex man whose character I think many won't fully understand on their first watch. His idea of love is tangled up in pride, control and corporate expectations.

All roads lead to Hideo Kojima

Edgerunners II releases tomorrow. I'll finally be able to show you chooms all the videos I've been working on 😭

Watch my Edgerunners 2 Spoiler Free Review on October 19th at 6:00AM PST. Only on YouTube.

Kingsley and his staring 😂

I can now reveal that I was given early access to all 10 episodes of Edgerunners 2. My spoiler free review will be shared on the 19th. Until then...Tomato. Big thanks to @CDPROJEKTRED

I've got about 8 scripts in progress. Starting to lose track of my own work 😭

My favorite depiction of Cyberpsychosis might finally have some competition with Kingsley’s story in Edgerunners 2. Either way, this is still my favorite Phantom Liberty Gig.

Testing some new thumbnails for my recent video. I was originally going to be in two, but I didn't want to give the impression I was one of those standing w/ microphone creators. So here we are!

Who do you think will die in Edgerunners 2? I believe Talia is most likely to survive, Roman is 50/50, and D/Kingsley are dead as hell. (Please live Kingsley 😭)

I need a replica of Kingsley's pistol NOW 🫩

It's almost complete...

New Edgerunners 2 Logo has appeared at an Edgerunners Offline Pop Up Store! A new take on Kurosaki's Edgerunner Series Logo! Thanks to @CurrentsC40979 for always hitting my DMs and discussing new info & theories with me! 🦾🐐

Since I decided to start using Twitter, I feel much more connected to the Cyberpunk community than I ever did just uploading to YouTube. Thank you all for being so welcoming! 🦾❤️

You guys are stealing ALL MY LEAVE DAYS!!!

Was ready to make a run for it

I want this Kingsley cardboard cutout for my office so bad...

It was worth the long trip!!

Perhaps Roman in a Militech Centaur?

Some more photos of the Edgerunners 2 Episode 1 Screening and campus tour :) (I found D hiding) My answer to all episode 1 questions is tomato

You guys know how to host an event!

Am I included in the crew now? Does this mean I have to die?

It seems there will be multiple Arasaka characters involved in Edgerunners 2. Based on their lab coat design, we can assume this short guy and the entire sequence involved with him is an Arasaka lab. An AI jumping between monitors & that turret room specifically.

If I had a quarter for every time memories got manipulated in Cyberpunk...I'd be a millionaire.

VTuber vs IRL

Edgerunners 2, No Coincidence, & Phantom Liberty are all building up to the collapse of the Black Wall. How cool would it be to have a NET dungeon system in Cyberpunk 2?! Full interactive environments to battle Rogue AI in their own turf...

I want to know if D actually watched his clan die or not. Were they captured for experimentation? Are his memories even accurate to the event? We will know in one month!!

About to have two 14 hour sessions of The Witcher 3 on my flights. The person sitting next to me might be disturbed by how locked in I will be.
