Not cold season alone, for fuck sake. Seasonal allergies, the whole lot. And the big spike you’re seeing is because you failed to zoom and actually look at the last 6 months.
End of May, beginning of June there were a lot of searches, then it died down. I’m all for conspiracy theories, but at least take the time to apply a tiny bit of logic.

That’s nothing like a dissociative high.

It seems you’ve discovered a real correlation here!
… it’s called “cold season” for a reason, and lots of people will be searching for common ailments at the same time.

Yes, it’s always a wonderful idea for creative game companies to stop being creative and trying to come up with cool new things and instead focus on things that have sold well in the past to please the shareholders.
That always works out for everyone.

Thank you, sometimes I feel like I’m the only person who embarrasses myself on the internet.

… You seem to be assuming Google search results are they reasonable metric to measure the increase of a thing in the world.

I had to crank it up to very hard after the hotel mission that ends act 1. I shouldn’t be going through that section like a God at level 8, taking no damaging and burning everyone who opposed me. Totally kills the immersion.
Whole time I was like "Bruh just use my med thing. It’s got two charges and I don’t need it. I’ve killed everything around. I have like 4 healing items, man. You don’t have to just keep bleeding out. Shit works fast. I’ve jumped off buildings and been running again in like 3 seconds. ’

Yeah, I ran in to her at level 3. :p

But it really doesn’t.
You could replace number of data centers with total number of Taylor Swift songs released and get that same idea. Taylor Swift music existing causes dizziness, and it just be stopped.
Or you could replace number of data centers with “Sean Connery alive?” and decide dizziness has been going up since he died.

I paid off Vic and had a level 2+ cyberdeck with all l2 cyberspells, 40k+ dennies, and 3 iconic weapons before I went to steal the relic. Seemed like decent exploration rewards.

Holy shit, dizziness causes data centers?!

Just hit that. Plugged a chip into my head and suddenly I know kung-fu. Woah.

I have the difficulty set on normal and it’s way too easy. For reference I’m in my 40s and spent my life as a mainly turn-based RPG gamer with a few things like Max Payne and Bioshock tossed in along the way.
The only time I wandered into something I shouldn’t have was actually a very early quest you get. Cyberpsychos. I don’t know if some/most of them can be taken down easily at a lower level, but I was level 5 when I ran in to my first one… some crazy woman who had super military mods and was invisible most of the time. Tried a dozen times and got my ass beat hard without fail.
Everything else has been cake.

Yeah, I was afraid to use it until I noticed that. The skill lights a person on fire. Until they run out of life. First time I used it on a big group from a distance and noticed they were all in comas or ‘downed’ or whatever it took me a minute to figure out why. My brain couldn’t accept that burning people to death isn’t considered fatal.

I checked at all 3 of the cyberdocs I visited but haven’t found anything for legs or arms. One day.
Really tempted to install one of those cool cyberware and neuromancy update mods, but figured my first play should be without any of that since usually modded in things are OP.

I learned that one, and also that dismembering a body and just grabbing the torso doesn’t slow your movement speed down nearly as much as trying to dispose of the whole thing. And apparently leaving dismembered limbs and severed heads doesn’t make it clear there was murderin’ afoot on unless there’s also a torso.
- Comment on Finally started Cyberpunk.... I can't stop climbing everything. 6 days ago:
That’s why I wait until the mission is done, and then dismember them and throw them away. Get whatever bonus you might get for not murdering anyone, even though you murdered everyone. <3

NPCs keep getting pissed at me. In that tutorial apartment part Jackie must have told me to hurry up 100 times because I was busy looting everything.
I’ll see an openable door while trying to do a quest and be gone for 3 hours climbing shit and have no idea what I was doing when I get back. :D

I haven’t found many, but even though I’m 16 hours into the game I’ve mainly been exploring the first area. There was one in a little U shaped area full of junk sellers and stuff, building on the right walking in you could climb up ACs and balconies and find a door with no option to open it, so I just tried hitting it with a bat and that worked. Was kind of disappointed when the next 50 windows I tried did not.
But I’m 14 hours in, level 8 and I’ve just upgraded my cyberdeck to 1+ but I have like 6 level 2-4 schematics for neuromancy things from hacking in to all the network jacks I’ve found in weird places. And 60k monies, 3 iconic weapons, and… a bunch of food and booze. Which I think I should sell since it all seems pretty worthless bonus wise.

Think I jinxed myself making a post about it. I’m 14 hours in with zero issues, but since I made this post every time I start the game within 1-10 minutes the game freezes totally with the audio still playing. Trying a clean reinstall in case it was a mod, but hadn’t added anything since I started playing.

Game is insanely good looking, only real gripe with it is spending an hour in character customization then realizing that lighting is nothing like normal so my character only looks good in the customization screen.
I can’t be too far in. I got to my apartment, car the first cyberdoc, and talked to Barret in his car.
I’m to busy exploring to do their story. It’s funny, I’ve seen people online say not to pay back what you owe that first cyberdock but I have like twice that much money from just exploring it stealing and murder hoboing.
- Comment on Finally started Cyberpunk.... I can't stop climbing everything. 6 days ago:
It’s one that was always interesting but I somehow never started. That would be cool, but I’ve heard there were tons of way less fun bugs too, so I’m ok with starting now.
I’m still trying to figure out the slowing time thing that seems to happen when I press to scan. Sometimes/most times if I do it in a moving car time slows to a crawl and I can get cheap xp off any machines or cops I pass, but sometimes it doesn’t slow at all or it does but I can’t target anything.
I’m guessing that has something to do with the one icon from the… net hacky main thing… that I don’t see explained anywhere. The menu in this game is still horrible. Completely unintuitive where to find information. I very honestly don’t know how to see how many HP I have left. Every time I open the character stats page it just shows my total HP. I’ve just started popping that healing item every few seconds just in case I’m taking fall damage or something.

Honestly you sound insufferable.
- Comment on "You'll own nothing and you'll be happy" 1 week ago:
You’d literally just said the Switch was shit, which makes it sort of weird for you to follow that up with gripes that emulating those games in better quality would be less mobile.
You’re not nerding hard enough. It’s ok, we slow down as we get older sometimes. If you have a nice connection at home and abroad you can use anything as a screen. You can play any PC game or emulated game running on your PC at home and streaming to a phone/tablet/screen connected to a bluetooth controller or one of those cases that snap around and add controls like a switch or steamdeck if you feel like it.
Aside from that, yes, of course Nintendo consoles have a lot of great exclusives. They always have. That’s not something new in the last several decades. The last several Zelda games have been amazing, and I’d much rather be playing them on a massive screen having been rendered at a much better resolution.

Don’t worry, they’ll still be able to drink a bunch of cough syrup and think they’re really hanging out chatting with random people on forums and Pink Floyd and Abe Lincoln, and then get genuinely lost in a game for what seems like eternity but can only ever be vaguely recalled later.
- Comment on "You'll own nothing and you'll be happy" 1 week ago:
I’m a big fan of the switch, since it can be emulated. Best way to play console games… wait a few years and have pretty much all of them.
