Science research says now there are dimensions outside of this current one of joy or pain. This new spin on an Extremely old idea…is known as heaven and hell. In heaven there is no pain, suffering, heartarche etc. Only joy…if person believes in Jesus until death…death…may kill their body…but their soul…death is meaningless in heaven…:-)…
Great video and thank you for sharing your experiences!
Thanks for this video. I appreciate the depth of your perspective on such sensitive issues. 😊
Thank you for this video. I agree on most of it, and I felt this to my core as someone that has also chronic illnesses.
Thank you for your insight, and for sharing a difficult aspect of your own life. I think V hits all of us in many personal ways. #respect 🙏❤
Sitting here with the start of a migraine and my heart playing out it's garage band fantasy in my chest, scrolling through videos on cyberpunk because it's my comfort game, and oops, halfway through I'm bawling because I wasn't expecting to have someone lay out their experience with this game as someone with chronic illness and it just be exactly how I've felt, right down to why I find Johnny so comforting. Thanks, feeling weirdly seen. 🖤
Thank you for this Video. As for the Canon Ending the Reed one makes more understanding if they are going to Continue V Story in the Next Game since Reed & his Company only turn her off which means yes if they see Need they can return her to Normal to be able to use Cyberware Again I sadly don't even think They Cure the Johnny issue just fix it so it wouldn't kill V but yes you have to go V gave them a weapon why do anything but use it & when they don't need it turn it off & say Oh you been in a Coma for the last 2 years like erase that 2 years of working for them. But yes I love the Panam & Judy ending the most & it the ending I picked every time I play Cyberpunk 2077. P.S. Sorry for making the Reed ending Sound Dark but what they did to Songbird pretty much tells you what they would do to V.
Kaia , thank u for sharing these key reflections. It is curious how a video game mirrors real world issues of the utmost importance
This got me really emotional. 😢
Great video. Im in the same boat but in a different respect. I was deeply affected by the story of Cyberpunk as well. Shit it literally sent me back to therapy lol. What I most came away from this game impacted by was how it conveys how our time is limited and our actions define us. V's greatest fear is feeling like she never existed and it didn't really hit me until I played all the endings (except the Phantom Liberty ending which I will get to soon). Each ending is so necessary in understanding the themes of the game. How striving for eternal life whether literally or as a legend of Night City is an empty existence. What really matters is how the people closest to your remember you. If you have people who love you and care about you then you will always be remembered. Also how you don't have to try and make something work if its making you miserable. Night City isn't a land of dreams. It crushes them and you can choose to say no and choose to leave and dream elsewhere. Im making a video essay about how this game made an impression on me myself and Im excited and nervous cause I really wanna do this game justice. Its my love letter to this game too. I appreciate how much of yourself you put out there for this video. I know it must've been hard but it really shows how powerful this game is cause I think its impossible for people not to connect with it on some level. Its amazing how this game went from something I mocked when it released to now being one of my favorite games of all time.
Perhaps V feels free because he knows that dying its always an option like… he is in control because he have more options and by extension he can chose … even when he knows that its not the case… don't know what do you think guys? 🤔
As a clinical psychologist and CPunk fan I truly enjoyed it! It was both personal and trascendental, like all true things are. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings with all of us.
As someone with chronic pain and a constantly failing memory, this hit me pretty hard. Ngl, I teared up a bit. You’re right. About everything.
I’m sorry this video isn’t getting more love because you’ve made something amazing here. The topic is a rough one to think about, but this video has been brilliant and thoughtful. Thank you for sharing.
This is such a great take on this game. I can relate to just about everything you said. Especially the chronic illness issues. Choices and consequences. Trying to survive. My first playthrough I picked the suicide ending as it was the one I identified the most with. Now some time has passed and I’m in a different head space. thinking of how much I’ve changed since then is striking. Reinforced by my trip to an icu and seeing how worried my sister was really helped me straighten things out. I didn’t want to do anything like that to her again.
I have engaged a bit with your Dragon Age content a bit, but I really discovered your channel by seeing your Cyberpunk content. Thank you for sharing your story and what it means to you. My life experience is completely different, but the way you relate the story of V to your experience makes me feel like I have a window to understand what people that have a similar situation to you might have felt.
I also feel that the Aldecaldos ending is the most "right" in terms of seeing V face their fate on their own terms, alongside the people that matter to them.
Great video Kala! Thanks for sharing your perspective on the game.
this was an amazing watch, thank you so much 🥺❤
time to go back on an emotional drive through night city 😭
Thank you for making this
Thank you so much for this video, Kala. It's given voice to some of the aspects of why I love this game so much that I hadn't thought about before, and now I love it even more. Please know also that I absolutely love your content. I've been watching a LOT of your stuff, be it ME, DA, CP, or your cooperations with other creators. Even though you've explained that "you're fine" near the end of this video & that we don't have to worry about you, please know that I'm very glad & thankful you're alive & kicking.
I can't bring myself to go down the Reed ending where V loses all the Cyberware, that's like losing all meaning in life. And I will never choose to suicide, not religious or anything, I would rather go out in a blaze of glory saving the people I love.
Never give up! There is always help at hand. I love your honesty, sending good thots! 😀
Cyberpunk 2077 to me is more effective than Witcher 3, mainly because of the story. As someone who was facing the darkest point in their life while playing this game it really helped a bit to put things into persepctive and help make me understand that you have to not give up simply because you're in a rut where you can't find the answers right in front of you. I managed to pull myself out of that rut and I've started to see my spiritual side again, it's hard at times, but there's so much that actually helps in this life to make me understand that deep down there's more than anything we can imagine.
I'm doing much better now and I'm far more open to the world than I was before. I will say live and let live, but also try and find ways to help one another, don't judge and know that no matter how tough things get, you can move forward and find happiness again, everything is connected in this union of life, you just have to complete your journey.
Anyway thanks Kala, god bless and be well. Same to everyone who reads this.
Kala, thank you for doing this video. I really needed it right now. Five years ago, I was diagnosed with a Spinal Chordoma. Thanks to amazing doctors, family and friends, I made it through. Last week, I was told it has come back. I am dealing with these emotions right now., again. I worry about all the things you worry about. Every minute of everyday. Choosing to live, to fight back is really hard. So much easier to give in to despair. I, too, far to often downplay how I feel to those who love me. Luckily, my wife is so much stronger and wiser than I. She knows how I feel and finally I was able to talk to her the other day. I have told my kids that I am scared…something that was much much easier than I could ever have imagined in my head. You are an amazing, thoughtful person. Kala, and I wish the very very best for you.
I really appreciated your thoughts here. As a much older gamer, with components starting to fail, this game hits a lot of the same notes with me as well. Much love, Kala. Thank you for being so honest and vulnerable. More thoughts: It was interesting that they make a distinction between the engram and the soul in one of the conversations, maybe it was Alt? According to them, Soulkiller does what it says on the label. Johnny's been dead in that oil field the whole time, from a soul perspective. What about V? Were they mostly-dead and just revived? Or all the way dead (nod to Princess Bride), and they're just a collection of digital memories in a meat suit? Is this why their body keeps failing? Is there something missing in the engram that the body needs? Did the Relic chip create a copy of V and reboot both Johnny and V at the same time?
Did Kala just do a Tale Foundry video? Analyzing a thoughtful storytelling device. Dragon Age Veilguard is about to do something like this with it's protagonist.
Cyberpunk 2077 is an interview to the genre, how the city they live in is the inferno and how they are doomed as Dante to take paths disagreeable to obtain salvation even if they are another face in a crowd.
I relate to Johnny ultimately as he is near my same generation which is Y2K or Geriatric Millennial as a fancier dictionary word for it. He comes from a time of major teen politics, impulsive rock'n'metal therapy rebellious youth, nymphomaniacs, idol worshipping clique gravitating snobs, isolationist anime loving geeks and scrappy rednecks.
Good video, sacrificing yourself for Johnny was also a strong ending.
This inspires me to go through with the idea I have had for more than a year about Cyberpunk. Thank you Kala for dropping this gem. Im glad to see you did not get too afraid with uploading. You did Great Choom!
That Suicide ending was my first ending and it Saved my life. I was plagued at that time with ending it and when I saw every person at the end hurting, it made me think of all of the people in my life that were there for me. I vowed from then on out that I wouod never allow that to be an option in my life again. And I have lived better since…
As the creator of the OG Cyberpunk game said “Cyberpunk isn’t about saving the world, it’s about saving yourself”. While it can be seen as fatalistic, there’s a strange feeling of comfort in that. I think you captured that great. Best wishes Choom
I swear I went through every stage of grief when I finished this game.
