Lots of conflicting comments on Adam Smasher from being a brain in a suit to an engram . One thing for certain is that he is defined as a “High Functioning” Cyberpsycho by Mike Pondsmith. I’ll do research on it. More Cyberpunk 2077 lore soon!
I agree. Can’t lose humanity you never had.
I searched gold – but find the diamond!
How has your channel and content not got more views?! I love your vibe, so chill and professional. Liked, subbed!
My question is how many other countries have their own "adam smashers". Surely with as big as the world somewhere someone with no humanity would achieve such a level of cyberware too.
I think you should also talk about how freaking busted V or the player is. Imagine being David and Rebecca in the afterlife only to see some guy wearing your mom's jacket and Rebecca's shotgun and totally shit stomped Adam with little to no enchantments screaming out your name while sobbing like an idiot.
It seems like cyberpsychosis is heavily, but not solely, tied to your mental state and how you manage the various traumas, and troubles rising around you in night city. I think maines decent into psychosis started when pilar got zeroed. No one ever really sat and talked about it, so it seems like they all just internalized it and it festered for maine more than he was willing to let on.
When David says,” I’m special too!” And Adam smasher laughs and says,”You really believe that?”
Because he's built different 😎😎😎😎😎
The quality of this video is insane choom. I love how you go into transhumanism since it isn't discussed nearly enough by fans of Cyberpunk 2077. You got another sub
Mike Pondsmith identified Adam Smasher as a "high functioning cyberpsycho".
No emotions = no cyberpsychosis seems pretty reasonable ngl
nope wrong even simpler. makoshi, tf adams mind into a machanical one, and bam installing software, that treats and nutrlizes all bad symptoms permently or what ever arises.
Take my subscribe my good sir, and keep up the amazing work. Its always good to get second opinion on info pertaining to Cyberpunk. Especially good, honest content. Keep up the good work, gonna check the rest of your other videos.
adam smasher is an engram. cause he's no more a human he cant get psychological issues, except endless intern logical calculation bugs maybe.
Adam smasher and V are both walking corpses being controlled by engrams.. or computers chips. There isn't really anything to go nuts with if the brain is just another part or a hub for the actual brain being the chip. Can't go nuts if your already there
So the reason why cyberpsychosis comes is "multiple augmentations are changing chemical balance in your body." Adam Smasher don't have a body, and his brain is connected to only ONE augmentation: The Pod. The Pod, that can (probably) "imitate" human body with a right (for brain's stability) chemistry, both protecting him from cyberpsychosis and allowing him to use ANY robotic body that supports the Pods.
That might be a reason too.
Love your vids dude. Just want to say, pretty sure it's "Maelstrom" lol
Damn, Cleveland lost some weight!
psycho cant become a cyberpsycho
Dann that is pretty deep when you think about it, he never lost his humanity and compassion to cyberpsycosis because he never had any to begin with, but with that theory there should be a small but significant number of people capable of being fully augmented without suffering from I'll effects. After all there are quite a few true psychopaths today, not a lot but certainly around in in a thousand atleast
The rulebook for Cyberpunk Red includes a really good explanation of what "cyberpsychosis" actually is, as well as the deep truth about it—cyberpsychosis isn't real. The violent outbursts that people call "cyberpsychosis" are actually just symptoms of trauma. This trauma can come from installing cyberware, or from just living in the hyper-capitalist hellworld dystopia of Cyberpunk. Cyberpunk 2077 and Edgerunners actually misrepresent cyberpsychosis from how it's portrayed in the original roleplaying games.
Cyberpunk Red explains that installing too much cyberware causes dissociative disorders, as you no longer see your body as being your own. It creates a Ship of Theseus problem with the human body. This is why installing cyberware reduces your humanity stat. Cyberware isn't the only factor though; experiencing traumatic events also lowers your humanity. You can regain lost humanity by going to therapy. Pre-existing psychopathic tendencies actually make people more susceptible to cyberpsychosis by giving them a lower starting humanity stat.
When you hit 0 humanity, you don't necessarily go on a killing spree; you just have a mental breakdown. When that breakdown becomes violent, it's called "cyberpsychosis." The diagnosis is fake, used to disguise that the society of Cyberpunk is mentally destroying people. It's likely that Adam Smasher's response to his trauma was simply to become a heartless killing machine for Arasaka, indulging his bloodlust with civilian casualties.
IMO it's unfortunate that 2077 and Edgerunners portray cyberpsychosis as just "oh no, I installed too many cup holders in my body, now I have to go on a killing spree" instead of the actual dissociation and psychological trauma that it is in-lore
Awesome video my man, got into cyberpunk through edgerunners but your content has really got me invested into the lore of it all
Excellent video bro!
