Huh, do these ram sticks have a link somewhere? Maybe possibly gpu as well?

Very helpful, and thank you for being in-depth! And yeah, there's some stuff missing from that pastebin, but it's mostly details that expand on what's already there (mostly on the doomerism and the day to day of weirdos). Glad it isn't inherently problematic, as the belief thing, in retrospect while I was moving the text into publisher, seemed a bit risky to me.

The book was deliberately left quite sparse in regards of lore, just enough to justify mechanics, and because of that I wanted to make sure the lore wasn't problematic.

Again, thank you for taking the time!

Hey, appreciate you for taking the time read through it. I selected the two most important pieces of lore to get the gist of the setting. Here: https://pastebin.com/NyNxtU2y

I think I should've made a summary of the setting beforehand. Key takeaways from the setting:

• Human belief shapes reality. The effects of this encompass reinforcing existing structures, as well as creating new weirdos.
• Weirdos are supernatural beings, with the most powerful being the triumvirate of Vampires, Lycanthropes, and Specters, however other supernatural beings exist on the sidelines, without enough belief behind them to make them particularly relevant to the way of the world. Weirdos carefully curate human belief around themselves to ensure that their existence remains hidden, while also spurring human belief to generate rumors and tall tales. Just enough to maintain their strength. This creates a power imbalance, with weirdo councils emphasizing the plights of the triumvirate while leaving less affluent weirdos to make due.
• Humans are the only ones able to have cybernetics, as cybernetics are physiologically incompatible with weirdos. However, weirdos can pass as heavily augmented humans with the right wardrobe choices.
• Corporations now have entrenched themselves into a feudalistic structure, where they exploit absolutely everything they can with basically no resistance. Upwards mobility is mostly a myth, with only a select few making it out of poverty.

Huh, interesting. I'll look into it. Might help nail down how I do it cus it helps, but not much.

Tried to, but it instead it makes me super aware of every bodypart, and suddenly everything is uncomfortable. That was the usual sit cross legged, recite a mantra kind of meditation.

Now I just do breathing exercises instead, count 1 to 10, then back down, focusing on my breathing. I usually have to do that when I'm very tired but still can't manage to fall asleep due to my wandering mind. It helps settle myself down. I still manage to get distracted though, counting in different languages and catching myself doing it, then wondering if trying to correct it is better than just letting it be.

Solo: Baldur's Gate 3 in Honour mode, goddamn, it's tough. Also, CK3, doing a hellenic socotra run and it's been close to being over so many times. Was playing Skyrim but bethesda updated the .exe and I don't even want to know what broke and what didnt.

MP: Baldur's Gate 3 with friends, Squad, and Hunt: Showdown.

Being against Biden doesn't mean being for Trump. You can't expect people in power to look out for your interests and opinions if you keep rewarding them for not being as shit as the worst of them.

And Biden is helping the genocide go on by choosing not to at least condemn Israel's actions (though that would be the definition of a limp dicked response). Though a stronger response would be better.

Yep, used to pirate it but ended up buying it, I use it for work so much I might as well buy it.

Won't do that with anything Adobe though. Fuck Adobe. I'll pirate anything Adobe.

If there wasn't such a strong incentive in the system to become wealthy, V possibly wouldn't ever try to get into problematic situations like the Konpeki heist.

Night City is known as the city of dreams because it offers the rich and powerful all the comforts money can buy, and a quick way there is merc work. If you don't have money, you're less than nothing.

The game does go out of its way to attenuate or neuter a revolutionary message every chance it gets. Hell, V recognizes the problems with unfettered capitalism (conversation with Takemura outside Arasaka warehouses), but defends the status quo every chance they get (convo between johnny and V in Pacifica after Placide). The game always defaults to implying the system is fine for most people.

Not like he is literally dying because of the system. I wish I could play V as a fledgling socialist, honestly.

Perhaps the wild shape could come from a cursed Ushanka. Otherwise, Warlock/Druid would be hella MAD.
