It had a buggy launch. Then they fixed it. And they've kept fixing it. Making it better all the time. Now there's a very small yet exceptionally loud contingent of annoying internet shitheads who make their entire personality shitting on Cyberpunk forever.

They had a bug once and now they refuse to play the complete, and exceptionally well polished game. But they're very very loud about how shit the game still is even though they haven't played more than 2 hours of it since launch.

If you mean the game it still is because the developers lied to people to sell more while making an image they are the complete opposite.

If you mean the meme it's probably because Cyberpunk abbreviation is the same as child porn.

at launch, it was really buggy. people in Lemmy tend to hold one hell of a grudge for some reason

You're gonna get HOW MUCH CP?!?!

Maybe he didn't mean Cyberpunk 2077, and just meant the genre in general? I mean, there are other cyberpunk games, plus tv shows, movies, anime, literature, etc.

Not sure that's any better.

If I like the Anime version of it enough, I'll actually try Bb. I honestly never gave it a fair shot because of how controversial it was.

If you have a 1% error rate in tweets, even if you proofread that's still a .01% chance to make a mistake. With the volume of tweets it shouldn't surprise you that some people make mistakes even if they proofread.

Debated not posting this comment just because the subject itself is so icky:

I am so glad that this is the term now. Some freaks argue that CP where a minor isn't straight-up r*ped is "victimless" (too young, they didn't know they were recorded, etc). The new CSAM term is a line in the sand and makes it clear that any material featuring minors created for that purpose is a product of sexual abuse even if they "consent" to it. Legally, they can't consent and the only way to create the material is to harm innocent children.

Anyway, I'm going to go find brain bleach like videos of a kitten and a giant dog being best friends or something now...

Those names aren't doing a very good job of whitewashing.

Not to be confused with CRAM

those who haven’t watched much

I mean... I think I know what you're trying to say, but this seems to imply that you think someone who doesn't like a show should just carry on watching it anyway

I finished up to season 4, wondering when it was supposed to get good. I know there's a lot of hype around it, but I guess it just wasn't for me.

Maybe that specific tweet was fake (or bait), but I do remember it from back then. There was a whole slew of easily misinterpreted posts on all social media around the release of the cyberpunk game and then again around the release of the anime.

Imo, it being slow and very much deep diving into characters is what makes it phenomenal instead of just a shallow action flick.

It's also a rather litmus test for maturity imo.

I first watched it during University years, and I was very much of the camp that was doing the vicariously living through the power fantasy of Walt's rise to power and the bitch wife and crying jessie ruining it for him.

I recently, like a year ago as a 31+ year old rewatched it again, and jesus christ what a top to bottom egoistic selfish asshole Walt is, all I did is feel sorry for Skyler and Jessie.
