  9. Tbf I'm dead gutted cuz I got the dlc and went to play it and found out that I couldn't play it cuz it was for Xbox series x and I have the one down for that so having to save up for the new one but I have heard that it so much better on the new console than the older one,

  11. It never ceases to amaze me how much backstory Pondsmith injected into this world. I can't imagine the amount of time he spent hypothesizing the course of history in this world he created. Thanks for continuing to expand the Cyberpunk world to those of us who don't have any experience with the TTRPG!

  13. Interesting thanks for the video, but I do have a question:

    Is there a specific reason you skipped over Christianity (Protestant, Catholic, and Orthodox), Islam, and Hinduism in the specifics? Or is it just because it’s no major difference/change in the Cyberpunk universe compared to our real world?

  15. Catholicism AND Christianity? Those…are the same thing. I don’t understand why they were listed separately as Catholicism was the only Christianity for centuries until the Orthodox Churches and then then Protestant churches. But they’re all Christian.

  17. Terrific vid, my friend.

    Just a little correction: The religion you're referring to that it's practiced here in Brazil are actually 2: Candomblé and Umbanda. There are others, but those are the main two. Both of them draw from similar roots from Voodoo, but they are NOT Voodoo. We have Voodoo practitioners here in Brazil, but they quite small in number, and mostly are from haitian immigrants over here. However, a lot of religious syncretism happens over here in Brazil, especially between the Catholic Saints, the Exú and the Orixás (and others), so I do not doubt there are some Terreiros over here that have dedicaded worship to certain Loa. I know there are some that offer worship to Baron Samedi and Mama Brigitte. I've seen them myself.

    That being said, I find it curious that Voodoo practitioners are clustered in Pacifica, when there's another place where I could easily see it prosper: Haywood. However, I think that would really spark a gang war inbetween the Voodoo Boys and the Valentinos, since Christianity is strong among them. Latin American spirituality is quite eccletic and mixed, though, so maybe it would not have a lot of issues in having mutual religious tolerance among them.

  22. I can tell from some of these entries haven't been updated since the late twentieth century. The Nihilism entry for example reflects the common misunderstanding of the philosophy. Nihilism rejects external systems of morality in favor of developing internal ones, not the violent destruction of those external systems. The latter is a fearful misunderstanding of the philosophy and projection by those who think external systems are the only method of self-control and without them people will revert to a mindless and violent animalistic state.

    Satanism is one that I really hope gets expanded on. While the entry does fit the late twentieth century Satanic Temple atheistic rebellion of that time the rapid rise of Theistic Satanism, those who do worship Satan as a god, and the more generalized Left Hand Path occult practices would absolutely fit into the Cyberpunk world. Infernals have a better track record than the average corpo of keeping their promises and a charcater making a deal with an agent of an Infernal god is hardly more dubious than any other employer an Edgerunner would work for.

    As for DDI's beliefs that the new god is the Net, yes you are right and her name is AI Alt Cunningham. Given that power she wields in the game to bestow both death and immortality she's pretty much the Dark Goddess of the Net. All hail CyberHekate, or as some in the game call her, Lilith. 🙂
