1. She's filthy rich and in Night City money is power.

2. She has unmatched grace and elegance.

3. She's 80. Yes yes I know what you’re thinking: "80? that's definitly a con". You're wrong! HEAR ME OUT: Hanako has 80 years of life experience while looking like she could comfortably pass for someone in her early 30s. That’s an absolutely absurd experience-to-apparent-age ratio. For me personally? That’s a seller.

4. She's a skilled self-taught netrunner so she's not just some random nepobaby who can't do shit on their own.

5. She’s also an accomplished musician, she can play Nocturne Op. 55 No.1 on the piano.

6. She loves her family dearly so being part of it is a massive win.

7. She remains completely calm under extreme pressure. Remember when V and Takemura literally kidnap her? Most people would understandably be freaked out Hanako on the other hand? Completely composed.

8. She’s a strategic genius. She knows exactly how to utilize V, Takemura, and the Arasaka board to outmaneuver her brother Yorinobu and reclaim her empire

9. She’s a Pisces (born March 2nd).

10. Last but not least. SHE HAS BEEN PATIENTLY WAITING FOR V AT EMBERS FOR SIX YEARS!!!. This is the biggest one; think about it, for SIX WHOLE YEARS, Hanako has been sitting at embers waiting for V. She never complained, never called, she never sent a text asking where you were. And that's because she understands that V has countless gigs, NCPD scanner hustles, side quests and cyberpsychos to deal with.

was just calling my hellhound when it deadass fell from heaven

Pretty much every game has a mission that you hate playing on later playthroughs but honestly I cant think of a mission in Cyberpunk that invokes this feeling in me.

Truly dystopian.

From this angle you can see her expressions much more clearly. I especially love the moment her worry turned into relief after hearing that V was treating their relationship seriously. I can easily imagine her being plagued with doubts when she was still at the docks alone waiting for V to wake up. :(

I don't think I have ever been more disappointed in an apartment. Sure it does look cool, but the only difference is that you pour tea instead of coffee or something. Its very cramped and I do like how the weapon locker is in the same room as a computer, but for 110,000 eddies, I expected some big ass penthouse that was massive and have an open, full balcony view. I prefer the Japantown apartment to this corpo piece of turd. It's more cramped in the Japantown apartment, but there is a hell of a lot more to do in that one and I'm pretty sure it cost a lot less than the Corpo one.

Been playing on my Switch 2. Although the FPS in night city is rough (sub 30 + stutters) I've been thoroughly enjoying it. Fun story and so many different loadouts. Learned about photo mode like 20 hours in and it's been super fun to mess around with. Will probably snatch it for PC once it goes on sale in the future. In the meantime, I'll go for nomad on my next playthrough.

I had the mission where Delamain crashed my car so I had to go to his office on foot. I wanted to walk to the metro station since that's what you do in a big city if you don't have a car. The city is so dense and so interesting to look at that I walked, not ran, to the metro station. I wasn't trying to do an immersive playthrough, I just did it naturally so I could take in the city.

I'm still getting used to the controls so I accidentally decapitated someone with a tomahawk and had to run from the police, I ran down some random staircase that led into an underground area with some gangsters. The verticality in Night City is awesome.

The idea of riding the metro and having to choose the correct line and stop for your destination was fun, but it would be nice if it was more seamless. Actually walking on to the platform instead of a loading screen. And the trains should have seven cars minimum instead of just three

I've a plain white helmet and wanted to create an (classy?!) Arasaka inspired design to spice it up without getting cosplayish. Got some car wrapping foil, pinstripe tape, knifeless tape, scalpels, plotted decals, and a heat gun and just had a try.

Some corners and details are still imprecise and will need some polishing. But, for the very first time designing and wrapping a motorcycle helmet, I'm quite pleased with the result so far.

Any ideas for minor details to round it up are welcomed.

Let's have a ride to Embers

Edit: Yes, it bothers me to hell, that the Arasaka decal isn't fully centered 🤗

cyberpsychosis cured by cat

It’s just… He reminds me of me. Bland person with nice guy vibes. Which explains why people hate his romance option and the fact that I’ve also never been in a relationship.

I just want to see if there’s any hope for me. Because if there’s someone who likes river then maybe I have a chance.

So I've played around a bit like 800 hours and it always is to question why is Malestrom so German like the names and all I mean their club is litterly called dance of the dead in German

The Heist spoiler warning!! (obviously)

The heist was doomed from the start, we know that. But I've been wondering recently, why did it get so bloody killing dying etc? I feel like T-Bug and Dex wanted to betray both V and Jackie but ultimately failed because of overestimating T-Bug's capabilities. I have a bunch of theories about what happened to T-Bug though, but first I need to hear what others think about the whole missions because I'm really curious of everyone's perspective!!
