  1. I'm actually not 100% on board (which is RARE for Simone-based content) – I think that having an arid desert setting is a really fresh and good direction for the cyberpunk genre!!! Like, I fully get the style over substance point, and I LOVE a good rainy atmosphere, but I think the juxtaposition between a rainy dense city and the dry sunny outskirts is really good and cool for the genre! The American desert is a place where mankind tries to recklessly push the limits of nature, and the sun can be as harsh and oppressive as a heavy rainfall. There is a lot of really cool style potential for the genre in the desert, and I think Simone is selling that kinda short here.

    Tradition and modernity can coexist beautifully!! Gimme a bright colorful neon oasis at night that turns into a sun-bleached dilapidated shack that is clearly duct-taped together when faced with the harsh reality of daylight!! And then lemme see it at night again and delude myself into forgetting its pathetic reality!!

  2. Honestly I think the rain effect in Cyberpunk 2077 is incomplete. At the start of the game when you first get out into the streets of Night City the rain effect looks really awesome. But it never looks like that again, which makes me wonder if what happens later on is incomplete.
