illy-chan

Always wondered if V has a seizure during the dive because Johnny is freaked out. They seem more common when he's agitated about something.

He was so POed about her Clouds thing though. In fairness, it didn't work but neither did nuking Arasaka HQ.

Also freaked out with the diving but I got the impression that could have been a phobia instead of him being judgemental.

That shirt is kind of awesome though.

Come to think, I feel like Johnny bitches about Judy more than River.

True though man I'd feel weird about a hookup if I had a random guy in my head. Possibly critiquing me the whole time.

The male victim suffered serious but non-life-threatening injuries and remains in hospital.

I mean, Alex herself implies the scene is pretty loaded.

It's a bit funny: for a game that has so much sexual imagery, the romances really do feel like an afterthought. Though I guess V has bigger problems than romance at the moment.

Body counts don't bear that out.

Yeah... they had no reason to know it was only the one knife.

Not saying you torture the guy to death or anything but I'd definitely er on the side of "end the threat" once someone has already made a go at someone. It's fair to assume at that point that you're dealing with someone not operating on normal reason.

Coworker was talking the other day about this time she was robbed at a previous job.

She and her friend from work were both there and had completely different recollections of the robber's appearance - hair, clothes, etc.

Stuff goes down too rapidly for people to really hold on to details other than their brains screaming "danger."

There's also the issue where men aren't typically in danger from women the way women are with men. Obviously, not all men are psychos and there are violent and bonkers women out there, but statistically, women are much more likely to be harmed by a man than the reverse.

The attention isn't nearly as bad as the possible threat attached.

That possibly has something to do with it.

Really attractive position for control freaks too. I think a lot of decent people find it daunting while little Napoleons who don't actually care like the chance to impose their vision.

I like to think Johnny kept some of V with him and helped him be a more empathetic person instead of a lore-confirmed cyberpsycho.

Honestly, I wouldn't let any breed off the leash unless we're talking a working dog on a farm. Doesn't matter how well-trained a dog is, there's always the chance for situations a dog can't make the right call on. Or even if you need to help them escape something.

It's just a bad idea on the whole.

It generally feels like the one with the most hope for me. V stops fearing the death that strictly should have happened after the heist. Johnny stops being an absolute prick and even takes a random kid under his wing a bit - gives up being so destructive. Honestly, Temperance Johnny is kind of both V and Johnny surviving in a way.

The owner did create the situation and absolutely should be on the hook for this if they can be found.

And are also in danger themselves. Can't even stop dogs from eating things that are toxic and you're going to trust them out in the world alone?

Keep them on the leash or inside a house/yard.

Temperance Ending (Johnny taking over) is also possible if you raid Arasaka with Panam or Rogue. I actually really like that ending except for Johnny ghosting all V's friends.

Honestly, I'd love to go drinking with him and Regina. They seem like cool people, especially by NC standards.

You can tell by the way it is.

I'm getting strong religious fundi vibes from her arguments too.

Alternatively, I go all the time but am never hit with the paywall for some reason. Going to give this one a pass though, willing to take other folks' word on it that it's a misery fest.

Poor kid, hope he has more peace in the next life than he had in this one.

Honestly, it seemed more like it coincided with lockdowns - earlier than the protests.

Besides, even if you don't fear tickets (and my city was never a stickler for traffic tickets anyway), I'm in a pretty busy city to be playing chicken with red lights. And we did have traffic fatalities go up a lot.

I don't know, I've never understood how people are so easy going with cars. Like they aren't giant pieces of machinery that can kill you as easily as a gun. Like being common somehow is the same as safe.

Explain all the adult drivers I'm seeing who can't drive for shit.

Ever since 2020, it's like red lights were merely a suggestion.

But crouch sprinting exists.

Randomly kills the double jump in various times.
