Little did he know, all he did was give the corps an even better, fractured, Net to control people with.
BEST CHOOM ON THE OLD NET 😏😏😏🤘
I'm glad ur channel is growing as it deserves to ur lore is fantastic and ur content is great for such a small creator with the release of phantom liberty and my purchase and playing the game ur content has become essential tyvm
Bartmoss died in 2022 after getting his signal tracked, which resulted in a Corporate raid on his conapt building.Right before his death, Bartmoss contacted Spider Murphy and urgently invited her to a chat room, where he confessed his love to her before releasing the R.A.B.I.D.S. to the net and causing the DataKrash. 8ug8ear and many other netrunners don’t like Rache Bartmoss because the old net was more open and easy to hack today the new net is closed and arasaka,militech and all the corpos have his own net.
cheers for these vids bro. hope you do one on cyberpunk red and where night city generally was in 2045
Preem deetz Choom.
14;00 My wild guess is when the. Cyberpunk Red Netrunning expansion book they'll explain his upgrade. My hope is they have a Scream Sheet or a full Module where we can be part of the Rise of the Black Wall. Love the channel. LET'S GO 15K. May you hit this week.
The whole theatricality of how he initiated the DataKrash, full of flags, the Ode to Joy and confetti was hilarious
Rache is a madd MFker he literally almoat ended all of human existence just because he could 😂😂 crazy asf
Ahh yes finally! The god of the internet Rache Bartmoss! I believe he lives on may it not be a physical body. No but, major hyper data traveling through beyond the blackwall! Possibly, on a mission with Alt Cunningham, spider Murphy, and whatever other chooms crossed over?! All I know is bartmoss is to fucking goofy no to include in Orion his seriousness with comic relief makes him even deadlier imo!
Lore drop lore drop! Gotta adore these!
Hi what do you mean when you say the conact that his body is located at? Thank you.
Characters like Bartmoss are the best to learn about. You see what kind of world he lives in, and you immediately start rooting for him. The Netrunner that gives the corps a run for their money. Sometimes literally. His beliefs and ideals are completely valid and true. Bartmoss may have a really good point. maybe power shouldn't be in the hands of large corps with no regards to humanitarian rights.
But then that classic Cyberpunk narrative comes creeping in to twist things up. The guy you think is gonna change things around, well…. turns out he'd rather nuke the net than see it under anyone's rule.
Bartmoss saw the corps as bullies throwing sand in the play pen. Bartmoss's plan was to flood the sandbox entirely so no one else could grab a fist of sand to sling. But in the end, the sandbox is fucked. Never to recover. And all parties involved aren't even at square one anymore.
On one hand, he did what he set out to do and succeeded. Every secret exposed, every file open on the table. On the other, the next few decades are full of strife and chaos. A new wild AI hits the block, and most of the old world's knowledge is lost to the other side of the Blackwall.
Was it worth it? And the answer is real ugly and jagged.
Amazing to hear how one man changed the world. Definitely someone who fits into the Chaotic Neutral category.
Love these lore videos
I'm really starting to think Bartmoss is going to play a bigger part in the story in the sequel. I'm wondering if maybe "he" could even be the voice we hear from the haunted weapons we get in Phantom Liberty, or at least something based on his conscience. I have nothing to back that up, of course. Just a suspicion. I think it's more likely than not he is still around in some shape or form on the Net. He felt more at home there than he did in the real world. Considering all the safe guards he placed in his physical location, it'd make sense he placed them in the Net as well.
Of course, who knows if that body we find is even Bartmoss. Even R. Talsorian Games said in a tweet earlier this year we should maybe doubt the validity of that claim, reminding us Johnny isn't the most trustworthy narrator. Whatever the case, Bartmoss and Spider Murphy are my two favorite people to learn about from the lore. While playing Phantom Liberty there is one point when you're meeting with Hansen while disguised and his guys referred to his 2nd in command as Murphy. I about jumped outta my chair but then realized they were talking about a different Murphy. CDPR knew what they were doing to us there, lol.
I’m curious if Mr Bartmoss knew what he pulls happen when he unlesashes the virus. Kinda did the opposite of what he was meaning to do.
I feel like bartmos used the net upgrade during the early teens to embed the seeds of the data crash vius to create his own personal datafortress out of the entire net infected by his virus, rabids are his way to maintain control of his newly acquired space since he no loge needed a body after securing a copy of soulkiller.
I REALLY want to see a series about the Alt/Rache/Spider era of Netrunning. Animated, live action, whatever, I think it would be badass.
nice vid choom, already waiting for the next vid 👑
Rache could still be an partial personality engram a shallow imprint not worthy of being called an AI a ghost hiding in the net…looking for a way to defragment itself. Perhaps it even found a way and it escaped to the old net.
as far as i know the only part of the cybergeneration sourcebook that is confirmed to be retconned is the literal last paragraph of the last page or something like that, the rest is still canon.
Bartmoss could maybe be Mr Blue Eyes? Maybe like an AI from his late date with Spider Murphy version? Peralez Quest smells Bartmoss to me…
12:14 rough
I would love to see you make these kind of lore videos about baldurs gate 3 😂🙏🏼
Did anyone notice theres was more details into the Hellman convo?! How on like they wanted to upload the engram to a dead body it was already familiar with?! How did Saka find the unknown container then, unless its a replicant body?….If you didnt hear this replay that part and listen to all blue dialogue! If you mess up reload or ill have takemura give you buckets of water!
Another great video! Keep it up!
