Hi everyone, I'm Joe for Jaspy's casebreaks.com coming at you with a dual casebreak of 2023 hip parade football autographed limited edition series 11. Random team break number 220 total boxes in this one. Big thanks to this group for making it happen. Congrats to the people who won spots in those two fillers that we did chronicles 14 and 15, those hanger pack breaks. And there's all the football teams. Let's roll it, randomize it one or two, three times. One, two, and three. After three we got Dennis down to Hyme. One or two, three times for the teams. Two and three. We got Miami down to the Saints. All right, Dennis, you got the Dolphins. Steve with the Steelers, Jason with the Lions, Dennis with the Bears, last fought Mojo. Steve with the Cardinals, Kyme with the Texans, Jason with the Titans, Boyd with the Niners, Scott with the Bills and Cowboys, Dennis with the Jets, John with the Broncos, Joe Cooke, Colt and Seahawks, Tristan with the Patriots, Dennis, Scott with the Buccaneers, Michael with the Jaguars, Steve Burch with the Ravens, Dennis with the Eagles, Scott with the Commanders, Dennis with the Packers, Ed P with the Browns, Steve with the Giants, Ivan with my Raiders, Scott with the Rams, David with the Panthers, Anthony with the Chiefs, John with the Falcons, we got Edward with the Bengals, Tristan with the Chargers, Scott with the Vikings and Hyme with the New Orleans Saints. Is Hyme the famous Kyme? Let's sort by team name. We're gonna pause the video when we come back. We're gonna see if there's any trades. Then we'll have the break. Stick around, BRB. All right, ladies and gentlemen, look at this. A deal got done. Jason Parker, Joe Cooke making some deals, wheeling and a dealing. So Jason is out of the Detroit spot. He wants a bird instead. Joe's like, I don't want a bird team. I want a cat team. Joe is out of the bird team and into a cat team. Bird team mojo, cat team mojo, trade mojo. Let's see who draws first blood in the trade. Trade window is closed, TWC. Let's print, let's rip. Got 20 boxes of this nice stuff here. Let's see if we can get some nice hits for as many people as possible. All right, good luck here on a Thursday. The first round of the draft is in the books. NFL Draft in the books. A lot of trades at the top. A lot of teams wheeling and dealing, making some moves. Were there any surprise, I suppose we'll have to see what the pundits say tomorrow. I was just watching a little NFL network during the trade window and they were talking about how they were a little surprised at how high. Jameer Gibbs, the running back went. Good player, but that high, I don't know. One of the talking heads thought, maybe, I don't know, maybe the Jets should have gone with something on the offensive side of the ball. They went defense. Maybe the offensive side of the ball could have used something. Especially with Aaron Rodgers there, an offensive lineman, a tight end. Another pass catcher somewhere. We'll see. They can still get that in the second round though. All right, first one is gonna be AJ Brown. For the Fly Eagles, fly 26 out of 100 from Obsidian Football Eagles. Eagles, where they, I feel like they had a nice draft, right? They got Jalen Carter. That was good. That's gonna be just a good addition to that already strong defense. And then they got Nolan Smith at the back end of the draft as well. So they just short up that defense. That defense is gonna be good. Of course, they still got AJ Brown out there. Dennis once again with the Eagles. Next box. We've got Aidan Hutchinson. Two color, dual relic and autograph. 54 out of 125. Lions, Joe Cook drawing first blood in the trade. See if we can even it out for Jason Parker, who has the Seahawks. Got select football, got tie-dye, got the silver and black, Josh Jacobs. Nine out of 25. My hope is that the Raiders take care of business in the draft, then take care of this guy as well. Raider taking Tyree Wilson, a little defense event. I like the pick. Ooh, we got two in here. Got two hits, a two-hitter. We got a Stefan Diggs star rookie. Nice, that's from 2015, upper deck football. So in 2015, the checklist would have had him as a Minnesota Viking. That's gonna go to Scott and the Vikings. If in case you're wondering, Scott has the bills as well, so. All right, the second hit is a one-of-one. Hail Mary signatures, Phil Sims. Got the NFL players, laundry tag right there, the one-of-one, the Phil Sims. Giants, Steve Birch with the Giants. Steve, all aboard the Big Hit Express. Woo-hoo. Think I spotted a Phoenix football card. It is Breece Hall, Jersey and autograph. You'll have a new guy handing it off to him, sometimes throwing it to him. It goes to Dennis and the J-E-T-S Jets, Jets, Jets. Next is Tyreek Hill. Big three-color patch and autograph. Nine out of 10. Another one from Phoenix. This one's for Dennis and the Dolphins. Yeah, we do need to add some soccer product. I don't know when. We'll get some on there. Maybe it's been a while enough where people want to see a little more soccer and so I can dig some up. Another two card box. This time we got James Harrison all-time greats. 10 out of 49 for the Steelers. That'll be for Steve Birch. And the second hit is DK Metcalf for the Seahawks. 16 out of 25. We'll have a new friend in the receiver room. Seahawks with a wide receiver towards the end of the draft. That's gonna be for Jason Parker and the Seahawks. There you go. The other side of that trade. So right now it bounced out, one and one. There's an Aaron Rodgers. Nice, five out of 60. And an old upper deck set from 2011. He'd obviously be a Green Bay Packer in that checklist. Silver ink auto, that'll be for Dennis. Well, I guess Dennis has the Jets as well, so. In case you're wondering if someone got screwed, nobody did. Everyone's fine. We go by the checklist first, of course. Nice. All right, next up it is, it's a Dirty Bird. It's Desmond Ritter. Three color, dual relic, gold ink autograph, 43 out of 49. There was a little chatter about maybe will the Falcons trade up? Will they get a quarterback? This and that. They didn't. I think they're gonna keep rolling with this guy. So it's good news for John McGee, who has the Dirty Birds, the ATL. All right, next one. Next one is gonna be Jerry Judy, grated rookie autograph for the Denver Broncos. That's gonna be for John McGee. That's the 10th box. We got 10 more. Good luck, everybody. Here's another double card box. First one is Garrett Wilson from Impeccable Football. 60 out of 99. Nice. Jets could be real scary next year. It's gonna go to Dennis and the Jets. And here is Zach Wilson, 12 out of 25. I guess maybe he'll learn a thing or two from Aaron Rodgers. All the good stuff, though. All the weird stuff from Aaron Rodgers. All right, so both of those go to Dennis. It's got personal box for you, Dennis. We've got a blue horse shoe. That's Jonathan Taylor. Signature moves. 10 out of 25. Ah man, that's gonna be a real interesting team. There's, I feel like Anthony Richardson, the new quarterback for the Colts, has such a high ceiling, but also could potentially have such a low floor. I don't know. Is he gonna be a weak one starter, Anthony Richardson? For my rate is, there's Derek Carr. Six out of 15. Just a couple off the jersey number. This will go out of two Ivan and my Raiders. Thanks for your service, Derek Carr. Appreciate it, yeah. Hopefully he does well with the Saints. Just never against my Raiders, though. All right, next is, is a rookie ticket autograph, Matthew Stafford. Lyon's edition. It's gonna go to Joe Cook. Nice. I don't know if I'd be how happy I'd be if Brady ended up and Gruden ended up with the Raiders. I don't think the Raiders were a Tom Brady away from the Super Bowl. Next up is Micah Parsons. 104 out of 199. Rookie autograph for Dallas. That's gonna be for Scott and the boys. Oh, Gronk Knock. I still don't think that would have made a difference. That defense was way below league average. They had a league average defense and I might feel differently about that, but maybe not. We got Justin Jefferson from Playbook Football. That is 12 out of 49. Vikings. Scott with Minnesota. Brady can take any team all the way, I don't think so. This is not like, it's not like Prime Lebron or not like basketball or anything like that. I think Brady was very calculated and very smart in making sure that he goes to another good team. Otherwise, Brady would have gone to the Lions and then been like, listen, I can take any team to the Super Bowl. I'll go to the Lions and deliver their first Super Bowl ever. There's Kenneth Walker, the third. 112 out of 149. That's for Seattle. That'll be for Jason Parker. He wanted Vegas, did he? Really? Some speculation says that. Some speculation says no. There might be some revisionist history afterwards as well, but there's a luminous endorsements. Jalen Hertz, nice. 29 out of 99. Well, that's what Gronk says. So what does Brady said? There's Dennis with the Eagles. You know, you can't really believe it until, although I guess Brady never denied it, but still. I officially want to hear it out of Brady's mouth, but did Brady say Gronk was correct? I still don't think Brady could have done it not with the Raiders as constructed. Not that year. Here's Juju Smith Schuster. Three-color jersey and autograph, three out of 10. That's for the Steelers, Steve Verge. And the 20th box. It's gonna be for the Rams. It's Jared Goff, rookie, jersey, and auto. That's for Scott and the Rams. 99 out of 99 from Fectra Football. And there you go, boys and girls. Great hit parade break in the books. I'm Joe for jaspyscasebreaks.com. Thanks for watching. Thanks for breaking with us. And I'll see you next time for the next one. Bye-bye.


d Theft Auto 3 like ten years ago doing it way better and their development cycle was way was probably less than eight years so like there's no excuse but I get you yeah yeah no I well of course like the problems with the game itself like the fundamental core design problems that's development issue but like bugs and all that they had more time that's a completely different story it feels like there was a lot of juggling between well are we going to make this look all right or are we going to have it work we have to choose one and I guess they flipped the coin on all the things and so it just feels like a half and half game did you guys talk about like the pre-release like review controversies and like all the displacement with yeah that's a matter than we might do what uh what what let me tell you my brief story on that yeah let me tell you really briefly about that so I got a pc code on December 9th at 315 p.m. the game was set to go live at December 9th 4 p.m. my time so I got 45 review Cyberpunk 2077 by the way yeah and then to make it you gotta play it make a video publish it yeah so like I feel like there was two groups of people I was in the non-important people obviously people like IGN and everyone they probably got enough time to beat the game grants it probably not enough time because they probably rushed through the game which is why they didn't report on as many bugs and then performance issues but that's a whole different bag of worms or whatever but I got the game and I basically refused to review it until I was absolutely ready which is why my review came out like five days later so like this preferential treatment towards certain outlets and then hiding the fact that any like they didn't give anyone ps4 codes at all so like that in itself is like one of the biggest slaps in the face to the consumers of this industry like how could you possibly do that it's not even that they omitted it they blatantly it's not they forgot they blatantly omitted it for the sheer yeah just to get more sales which is that is so scumbaggy and then you turn around look at their twitter like the PR team and they're just like all lollygag everything's fun I can't wait to release this game this is going to be amazing it's so stressful but I can't wait and then like deep down like they knew they fucking knew and they did it anyway definitely they knew yeah absolutely they made the game they made the fucking thing they played the shit out of it as they were making it and putting it together they knew exactly what they would release as here's the here's the big question though you guys remember the Witcher 3 that game released pretty shitty too how long do you think like do you think they could turn around the cyberpunk 2077 like they did the Witcher 3 I think that they could make this game well yeah if they wanted to be on like console or like the playstation yeah I think that if they if they work very hard I just wonder what the cost uh uh uh you think you think for a second like oh yeah you know they could recover you're like oh man they got the game was pulled like that's how in pieces it is that's pretty intense one of our most anticipated games of recent time was pulled from playstation 4 unprecedented it's crazy can you imagine if like red dead redemption 2 got pulled from the playstation store a week after it came out it's like unfathomable and this is like equivalent yeah it's like is CDPR in the same bucket as Evie Stoff and Yee at this point like Anthem and Fallout 76 is this real I feel like Fallout 76 didn't get taken down well yeah I know but like the whole controversy of the game being well they haven't doxed their customers yet so yeah I guess we'll see um I think that if they work very hard time into it this game can eventually become good yeah I think definitely on that 100% but I do not think this game will ever be great I agree I don't think they can recover their reputation to where it was before that's impossible they can't recover any of their reputation without like going ham and fixing the hello of this game I mean hello games managed to repair their reputation but it took a lot of work and a lot of time well I think I think CDPR can but it's going to take a lot maybe I don't know if it will yeah because the reputation before this was like spotless on a lot of people's eyes that's not something you can get back to if you fall down from it you can get back up to good really good but you can't get back to good hello games was a small developer they'd made good games people knew of them and this specific game was really hyped and then it was a disappointment but then they clawed it back and that makes the company look good whereas here it's a god tier developer did a lot of really really bad things that make it clear that they weren't the god tier developer you thought they were so it's like oh yeah they're not going to get back on the pedestal they were at definitely here for it yeah Naughty Dog CD project red Naughty Dog yeah not yet it's not the time for the last one it's on my counter right now I haven't yet to play it please god no one mentioned it was the end of that list going to be frictional right oh yeah yeah we have frictional amnesia after genuinely sad that we look back and that's what happened to three beloved developers like damn this is why I tell people don't pre-order games you're a little tiny fucking trousers that you get in the game it's not gonna don't do it don't pre-order games make them earn your money every company can make a dud and I've been vindicated time and time again I feel like cyberpunk though has a lot of good things going for it and like maybe it's not going to be the game we all expected but I feel like it can be a good game like have you guys talked about like the deep rooted flaws with the game like at the same time of like what it does well well let's go for what are we I was gonna say like whatever you want to bring up we might have covered it I feel like choice is a big thing in that game that really got misunderstood like does it than anyone else like feel like okay I'm coming like I bought the art the world of cyberpunk book I don't know if you guys saw it was like a hard like a big old is a really cool book right and it said like a lot of stuff about the lore and like it told you a lot about like the gangs and the most underlying thing they talked about in that book was the fact that like everyone in the city was really like under this impression that you can like you should be a cyberpunk like you could go out and like you can make body modifications and you could do whatever the fuck you want make choices join gangs and stuff like that so like that entire aspect of like not being able to customize your your the actually the way you look outside of your arms like maybe take off an arm and put on like an implant or something like that we're moving eyeball like go wild you can't even you can't even change your hairstyle we're gonna tattoo the game setting is time of like absurd degrees of expression for every person complete control over everything you want to change is just like sweet yeah and like it gets tied into yeah like it gets tied into like the lifestyle choices to those don't really mean shit conversations don't you can't really save any I don't want to you know I want to talk spoilers but like the choices you make in terms of like the main characters and like where the story's going it doesn't matter what you do so like that's a huge issue too yeah I so I'm only 13 hours into it right now and I feel like I'm on rails I know in a lot of I know in some aspects I'm not but I feel like I am because a lot of the stuff I do doesn't feel impactful choice wise which is weird because they they that's one of the touted features immersive storytelling it's immersive but it's mostly just because of its presentation and it's got an interesting world and the aesthetics really solid and interesting but a lot of the immersion aspects of it are just like surface level like the players doing the work in terms of getting immersed like you imagine what's in this world not your show and what's in this world and you're like whoa that's amazing that this is there rather than well imagine the possibilities yeah you touch upon all the aspects of you know the robots and the cyborgs and the corporations and all the everything from the ripper docs to the gangs to the fixers and how it all works together and you're like yeah this seems like a world I totally buy into this world I absolutely believe it and like the area like the area the pacifica area I don't know if you've gotten to it yet rags but it's like this it's like the it's like the beggar town basically on the coast it was basically like a hotel destination for tourists but then the bombing happened and then the whole area went to shit there was supposed to be like roaming and join just like that one single example is gone that whole area is like there's nothing in that whole area it's short now there's just roaming groups of three people that you could murder the area was really hyped up is like this place is so bad that the police don't come here exactly yeah and then they'll spawn behind you if you should that's probably the dumbest thing in the whole game you shoot someone and instantly they teleport behind you even if there's no witnesses stop right there pacifica and then they don't chase you really yeah turn the corner and they forget you just jog away journey got away well I guess I'll go back home but what they're trying to tell like underneath everything is really compelling though like they've got some really cool ideas and like the story itself super fun super cool they had the power to make something here definitely and it probably will be something by the time they're done with updates because it's especially which is the which is the biggest slap in the face to people because you're gonna refund the game yeah or whatever and like I hate that this is just another notch in the in the belt of just we're moving more and more towards games release unfinished that's just how they release like no I don't want that to be done just like I don't know I think people have become way too tolerant of like day one patches and like oh it's in a big RPG so it's gonna have bugs in and now they'll fix it later I think we really need to get back to the stage of you release a game it should at least fucking work this could be a turning point you know because they've lost what a billion quid and obviously fallout 76 destroyed their rap too this might be the lesson that the industry learns they're losing billions wasn't that supposed to happen with battlefront 2 we said that with the anthem and everything too yeah and battlefront 2 with microtransactions but that's not stopped them yeah I heard that battlefront 2 had a crap ton of work done to it oh sorry I don't mean like battlefront 2 itself I think was improved dramatically but the overall like people like this is it finally sent because you know they started to do like hey this game has no microtransactions okay that's why you should buy it everyone's like oh we've seen a change it's like I mean they're still everywhere like for a lot of things I think what that game was was the lion is drawn here at how far you can push it yeah and I think that that's held true but microtransactions and maybe this will be the case for this like you can't release a game like this like it's not acceptable I think battlefront 2 pretty much sealed it in the industry that if you're going to be in this sphere of gaming microtransactions have to be like strictly aesthetic or just time saves and that's where they have to stay versus power versus power yeah which is what Valhalla did and bbsoft games do that they do a pretty good job like you can buy it in cosmetics yeah someone told me the hairstyle change stuff used to be a free dlc for witcher 2 and 3 so imagine barbershop barbershop stuff will be free dlc because we love you so much here I have a free thing of cyberpunk 2077 as well yeah it's weird that something it's one of those things where you're just like why is this in the game you had in the last game you would change your hairstyle in the last games so like how come you can't do it it doesn't seem like it would be difficult this is especially weird in a game where everyone's hair is usually like really different crazy yeah thinking spiky or swayy in purple and green pretty strange it's just a world where everyone is exactly what they want to look like it's just a really bizarre thing to not include in the game on release yeah you can't get a tattoo, you can't get a robot arm in the cyberpunk game you can't change your hairstyle it's like a like I guess I'm I guess I hope I made the right choice 20 hours ago do you guys ever have that glitch where you look in the mirror and your hair is disappeared and your dick's out yeah well my tits not my tits oh well on that note I have to ask did you guys pick penis one or penis two penis two the big uncircumcised one whichever one that is yeah exactly yeah I didn't realize my canon is that I was circumcised but through the use of cyberpunk technology I was re-circumcised I was re-sized I was uncircumcised and so that's my canon for my character I'm slowly but surely returning to monkey even though I have robot eyes one of the funniest cultures though is if you choose to have a large penis sometimes it will actually glitch through your trousers that happens in real life I did not see that that's just life man that's life with a big penis I wouldn't know that's alright if you could do if you could do you don't know the struggle the small penis option is bigger than most people's real penises I wouldn't be saying that from experience but it's really un-immersive cause I've seen a lot of life really lacks immersion when you have the small penis has anyone bought a hooker yet? did anybody else accidentally pick the male hooker? in that scene I got it right they give you the picture with the two names but then they take the pictures away from the names and ask you which one you want by name I hope you remembered I missed that I guess I was in the Midwest I had sex with Judy I didn't see the hooker I haven't had sex with Judy yet but that's what I'm working towards I'm a female fuck off never mind I can't convince her to see the light if this game had customization you'd be able to for this mission I want to be a woman did anybody else sleep with the lady from Militech I really wanted to on accident on accident she called me up last time I replied I wanted to see more of your tattoos go to this motel shut up the motel bondage gear with black tape on our nipples and then we do it you guys have that to look forward to if you play your cards can I say something about Meredith and a couple of the other characters in this game why didn't she get more screen time some of these characters get no screen time they do one story beat and then they move on and you never see them again Regina Jones though she just never fucks off constantly calling I'm not a fan of throwaway characters it just feels wasted I don't mind them when they're used effectively but for the most part people I've met in oh alright he was about to spoil or something yeah I guess I'm glad I don't have to go bowling with anybody Niko they call me on their cell phone you know just going back to mechanics I guess there's a sequence where you have to go down there's like a whole room you can clear stealth or not and then the next room you'll kind of you can knock out and then there's two cameras and there's a whole bunch of shit going on like a level below you and I was curious like so what is this game how does this game deal with I'll shoot one of them and just run all the way back to really far into the map and I guess I shouldn't be so invested in the idea of like we evolve to a point with that someone can do something with that in the game because they all had vision on me they're like oh my god later and I just like I ran off few rooms back and just stood still and you only took a few seconds and I was just like okay they lost you resetting aggro yeah it's just I guess a little bit disappointing that they wouldn't be more to it as well as like you know that you have the what is it called like reset optics or whatever you can just I found that it was really easy going and I was on hard mode right so I was like reset optics trivialized yeah it makes a lot of these sequences like I can make so many mistakes and I just don't really care that much like you know I wanted to play through stealth wise but if ever I lost my stealth for whatever reason I wasn't really worried I was just like well I guess I'll just kill everyone yeah I think if I play through the game a second time which I probably won't do but if I do it'll just be a straight up just fucking combat character like just fucking stealth yeah I'm just going to I'm just going to give myself the cold-blooded regen shit and then that'll be done with that tree and then I'll just put everything else into other things and say fuck it yeah I feel like if you get quick hack double jump in the slow slow time ability you just do John Wick it's because the AI is so kind of dumb in this game like what you were saying Mahler like you could take advantage of a lot of the aggro stuff and resetting the areas I feel like going John Wick is just so much more fun and they do the whole when you you shoot at enemies but they don't really behave like they're being shot and their life is in danger they'll still stand in the middle of the street and not hit you at a distance they'll still just like remain out in the open did you guys watch go ahead I was just going to say when I was shooting them with a I had a pistol machine gun and shotgun with my three like just cycling weapons unloaded the entire like a rifle into a person essentially point blank and they didn't even notice like the blood was splattering but they were just carrying on with life the shotgun I shot them and they flung across like and landed on the room sweet cool the gun has actually has impact they got back up and I was like I have already reloaded shot them again it did nothing I was like oh and it's like the shotgun has a chance of knocking them over I guess at least that was my experience with it it either makes them flinch or it just flat out ragdolls them which means they're dead essentially but yeah I won't fault the shotguns for being they've been very potent for me they're really good the power weapons are really nice yeah the power weapons do feel powerful they do did you guys experiment with like the ricochet and the smart weapons I didn't really get too much of that not yet I don't feel any because that was supposed to be a big feature I don't feel any good with anything because the guns that I pick up from the thugs that I kill are just like great so I don't feel a need to try new tactics or things I know that if I ever get into a fight I can just hit them with this baton and they'll die or I'll shoot them with these guns that I found along the way and it's all good I just remember like watching early trailers and like they were walking on walls with the mantis blades doing all this crazy shit there was like smart tech weapons going around corners like where is the gate where is that game ricochet just sounds like I'd use it once and be like that's kind of nifty and then I'd go back to just shooting everyone in the face I just go back to I like standing up all the different weapon types feel really half baked in the integration like it feels like it's just there to tell you what kind of weapon you're firing in case you don't want to be firing weird electric bolts just shooting them with whatever gun you have works perfectly fine all the time so you never feel any need to oh well what mod am I going to use am I going to check my strategy am I going to do this or plan ahead that's fine just run and shoot them in the face it's all good they'll stand still for you did you guys find the lack of like an actual cover system bothersome like the ability to like no like an escape from Tarkov you can like um you can like reach over obstacles or around corners with your gun to get like shots down like a hallway which is really cool like I thought that stuff would be in the game too I mean I just found it an option to like lean out of cover yeah the leans well you can lean out of cover but lean cover is like really nebulously defined they could have easily just given you a lean button all I've never noticed they could have given you a lean button or they could have like made sticky cover like Deus Ex Human Revolution but instead they've got this weird middle ground again where yeah there's a cover system I guess and you can lean I guess we're not going to really clearly define I haven't had an issue with it but then again I play a lot of Battlefield 1 and it uses that system so maybe I'm just used to it so relatively intuitive to me but yeah I'm getting along fine with it it just feels like a strange way to do things I think if your game isn't built around the idea of sticky cover like if you're not a Gears of War or something like that sticky cover feels extremely out of place and is just worse to have than not in which case I feel like just a general lean button would be yeah you just have like a soft like a soft you could just have like a soft sticky cover system where you can have like more control and like you could put your gun around corners and above obstacles like if you're behind a table you could like literally move your you could just reach over the table and start like shooting which in turn would like the ricochet mechanic would come into play then you could like ricochet shit off of like pillars to hit people to the right or to the left like I don't know like I just think about the combat system and they could have done more and like what they promised there's some missing features for sure I think it's like 5 out of 10 for 2020 it's totally serviceable it works fine I have no complaints with it but I have nothing to really praise about it either it's perfectly serviceable for 2020 I guess the only thing I was gonna I was gonna well I was gonna talk about the melee I don't know about anybody else but I found that melee combat is very it's really weird and janky but it's also very overpowered it's very effective I've put no skills at all into melee stuff but I know that I could just go up and punch a dude twice in the face and he's just done I could shoot him 20 times with a gun or I could punch him yeah the it's incredibly effective simultaneously I feel like it's too easy but also that my bullets aren't really bullets they're paintballs I mean these are very kind of yeah they are until you get okay well because it's difficult to kind of track that sort of thing because they're like leveled so sometimes you'll fight enemies and they just drop instantly and sometimes you gotta put maybe 5 or 6 headshots into them with your assault rifle and it's like the game knows what my numbers are I feel like you should just have all the enemies be slightly challenging based on what my numbers are but yeah it's something I kind of take issue with in the game broadly I don't know if we need like number based level up system in the game we don't overall especially when it creates really odd things like I am not high enough level to equip this tank top which starts to get kind of annoying in the fashion game oh yeah your character always looks ugly and your tank top more protection than this body armor you picked up it's the most unthinkable thing as well because there is an armor slot where things like ballistic jackets and that go you have an arm like it's the outer wear place you put things like bulletproof vests and stuff there but other stuff factors into your armor too for some reason like if we really needed armor system why couldn't it just be down to that slot they need to have a light and heavy or maybe a medium armor and each tier and that could work into the upgrades you have where yeah heavy armor it will protect you but you're slower you can't jump as high you can't run as fast none of that's in the game if you are buck-ass naked or if you're running around with helmets or if you are in heavy vests same thing no difference because it's the only stat your armor has is armor and ugliness relating to the bullet sponginess or whatever it's not consistent across the board because obviously I'm fighting different enemies and stuff but part of the awkwardness of it is I'll have my rifle and I'll be like if I essentially blind fire crosshair it'll be fine and then I wonder to myself like how am I losing no health while doing this and it's just like because the enemies often don't shoot and miss almost deliberately or they just sort of go like hey stop I'm gonna get ya all with the same voice by the way which is so funny and I'm just like man I'm lucky I'm not getting shot at right now I guess then I need to reload and just repeat I do find myself losing HP and like cover based I'm definitely shot at I'm saying this shouldn't happen at all but it happens every once in a while and I find it really odd oh I only died a bullshit I died because oh you just walked into the zone of high level people who instantly kill you or that thing next to you oh actually that's a barrel that's been activated but it's like a cyberpunk barrel something like something that would explode oh it exploded yeah now you know those things explode and kill you I'm not a fan of this might just be I need to play the game more and I'll be cool with it but I wasn't a fan of the fucking magical hacking setting you on fire shit I don't know that's annoying as shit but you have to get a perk that disables the enemies the ability to do that to you because it's annoying as shit I've also found it really weird how they can hack you from different rooms or through walls but you can't do the same to them or is that because they're doing it through the cameras and only an idiot they're probably doing it through cameras or something usually I think that is how the game would like to play well so that was going to be my follow up question about this oh wait what is this I just posted something I don't know if you could show it or whatever but it's the funniest thing ever regarding the AI yeah I've seen this oh yes man this subreddit is amazing what's the funniest thing I've ever seen what's the sentiment like in this subreddit is it absolute hate there's a lot of people gunking on the game anarchy some very good memes well it's on my mind because I don't want to forget we briefly talked about combat for a while so how combat mixes with stealth mechanics in this game are really shit one of the great things about games that are especially built around stealth or have a lot of stealth options in mind games like Deus Ex games like Splinter Cell and whatnot is that you can effectively if you play right kill every single person with like a headshot and the skill isn't in the shooting of the people it's in the positioning and the awareness of where enemies are and moving around tactically and that's that takes the place of the exciting gunfire that it's its own skill but in this game especially when suppressors will reduce your damage on the gun like 30% or something crazy I've never used all of my stealth is just takedowns from behind it's never shooting people stealthily what at a time when they're isolated are not looking at each other like like there's like in Splinter Cell you have your basic enemies and it's the amount of them they're positioning and if they're interspersed with armored enemies that will change the difficulty in how you behave as well as the layout of the rooms and the play areas that you have and this game doesn't seem like even though it has a clear stealth option present stealth slash combat mixed together really really poorly and it just wasn't designed for it I just really I just really don't care and what's the point of trying to use these combat stealth options when everyone just dies so quickly anyway like I don't feel like stealth is giving me anything it does late game it does yeah because oh no I've been spotted well that's fine I guess I'll just massacre them now like again I don't even think even if you couldn't massacre them you just run back and then if any company when you deactivate their optics and then just reset the room I think it's more along the lines of what players fantasy you know what I mean like people fantasize about being sneaky ninjas and the game does give you the option to sneak around and kill people you don't have to it's not necessary you can kill everyone easily but the game gives you a little hacking mechanic that makes it easier so if players want to engage in that system then I feel like that's the extent of it like I recently played chaos theory rags completely the sophistication in the stealth system regarding the positioning and the tools you have it's so much more eloquent but like here about like conviction and blacklist those are excellent stealth games and they're really snappy but they're not like complicated they just have really good mechanics and in terms of how stealth works and how enemies are spread around the integration is much more sophisticated for sure because that's what the game is here I feel like if it's the fantasy you want to live out if this is the cyberpunk you want to make if you want to be a ninja here's a couple options they're not that complicated they're not that complex they don't really weave into like what Mueller was saying they don't really weave into the other applications of the combat like you know gunplay or whatever because you'll just trigger everyone right so it's like it's there for players who want it it's not fleshed out and that's kind of what I was talking about earlier where they could have done much more I need the ninja because there's no blade stealth takedowns it's only fists which is insane for a melee character I hated that by the way only one animation he's like you either choke them and they pass out or you just break their neck and that's it there's no deus ex sword through the face or cyberpunk like you jack into their brain and fry it or you stab them seriously dude nothing it's just like your neck and they fall down and you're like okay I feel like a lot of these enemies are broken neck wouldn't actually kill them in this universe but alright stream gangas like do you even break that next do they have necks can we be sure it's just a really dis if you play this as a stealth game it will be very disappointing it's a watered down version of way better games but it's not bad it's not bad it's just not like phenomenal it's not the game that it had been hyped up to be or that we were promised yeah and I think a lot of people do in the whole it was never going to be able to live up to that and like okay let's chill like it's not excuse okay but I'm not even talking about what people hyped it up to be I'm talking about what the project said they were going to deliver it didn't live up to that I agree with that when I'm wishing that this game was more concrete like you need to step it up I have more of a problem when I was working through the game I don't know if you guys feel the same way as I do but I just didn't feel like the variety and the amount of combat scenarios scaled well with how much storytelling there was there's a lot of like listening to people putting your ass down on the couch following people around I didn't feel like there was a lot of organic events there wasn't a lot of variety in the missions you just kind of kill people, follow, sneak around I just didn't think the brevity was there either because the game is quite short so this is a list of what was gathered from the gameplay reveal demo in 2018 compared to what we got is it I'll get a magnifying glass I must be clear though with the mantis blades and the wall running they did actually say after the 2018 demo that they just couldn't do it because it broke the level design so we did know that they were going to take that out hmm I'm sorry we're a final game you can't let Jack say no third person cut scenes in the game yeah that would have been cool especially if you could customize your character with a lot of enhancements and upgrades and cybernetic stuff to more regularly see your character as part of the world maybe that's why they didn't do that because they couldn't they just needed a whole other year recoil spread and range are gone from stats are hidden attachments still have a mysterious range stat if someone knows what .24 range translates in oh yeah so this game let me actually show you something that I found in the game this game has one of my big pet peeves which is that like the tooltips and the info they give you for stuff is practically worthless and you have no idea what it is some of it for sure yeah like what is plus point what is plus 0.24 range mean like I have no idea what that means other than I guess it's more range from user oh here we go yeah let me this is cyberpunk everybody and it's very useful information that it gives to the player so it's worth 10 quid though yeah there we go 10 eddies for muzzle zero times that's probably my favorite tooltip that's penis 3 or was that what when I showed you Mahler the I.M. plant and its little tooltip was like enhances vision that's what it said thanks that's helpful this one so this is I guess a spoiler clip so if anybody is still not look away everyone but this is something DAS just sent me and don't look away if you want to see something funny and don't care about spoilers something like this happened to me and it ruined my time I've seen this before where like weapons and items get stuck to people's hands this doesn't even surprise me this should happen all the time all the time yeah it does no lip-syncing, heads disappearing T-posing in the middle of a cutscene yep people sorry that the mouths often glitch out during these in-car cutscenes where the lips won't move that happens to me all the time where they stop moving I don't think anyone who's played this game didn't have graphical issues to the degree, some more than others obviously but I don't think anyone's had a clean experience with this game unfortunate yeah the bugs they've ruined immersion for me, well in some cases they've ruined immersion when you're talking to somebody in a diner you can see the diner happening behind you as you talk and sit in it and I've had characters just appear from nowhere just appear in the world in the middle of the diner and just start walking around normally a character will slide a little bit before their walking animation can catch up and that's the thing is it's not like a game that's so broken that we're all laughing at it constantly or anything I'll finish it and I'll probably enjoy my time with it mostly but it's more like a yeah I guess I'll play Cyberpunk for a while I'll play it for a bit and then I'll go do something else after that which is weird because I was touting this I was like dude this is going to be the fucking game this is the goat and then when I finished I was like okay alright I wonder what the table kind of fun did you guys ever get the bug where you'd walk in where you'd get into a car but the car hadn't loaded yet it was still about like two polygons so it was just this massive mess of unloaded polygons and you couldn't even see normally I get the problem where I haven't loaded yet I really like when my car just a car spawns into my car and then they start like you know like fluffing around and crashing yeah I've summoned my entire garage into the same place at once somehow a persistent issue I've been having with vehicles is anytime I leave a car this happens a solid like 70% of the time textures on my character's output will just go ballistic and they'll start like flying everywhere all in front of my camera so I can't see shit and I don't know what's causing that and I have to just unequip everything I'm wearing and re-equip it in order to fix it I have a couple of times like reloaded like a quick save or an auto save and for some reason when I load in my gun will be firing and then I'll fire into a crowd which will of course trigger the police so then I'll have to reload I actually got stuck on that loop three times before it finally loaded in and I wasn't firing my gun I have no idea why I'm uh I guess this is an Act 1 spoiler if you guys don't mind but um I was I really do not like that T-bug died I really liked her about her voice lines and her character was really interesting and I was really hoping to get more of her as time progressed she was wasted yeah well you feel that way about Jackie too I do although his depth was was kind of a motivational thing you at least got closure with Jackie though whereas you never find out what happens to T-bug I don't think oh she died that's it you don't even know it just happens over the radio what killed her I have no idea what she got made she got flung by the connection they just get cried you got Ghost in the Shell I guess but you don't know that she died when she died it's like a scream of pain and then she screams and then that's it oh she's dead forever makes me wonder how these decisions were made and whether or not it was like never that important originally and then she got padded out because of different tutorial things getting made different opening stories getting made that's how I feel about Johnny like how much was he in the game before they like you know what I mean like was Keanu Johnny at the beginning or did he come in and they were like holy shit we got Keanu let's make the whole game about him apparently that kind of was what happened yeah I don't really feel interested in him at all maybe he gets better or it's just like I had a bit of that I think you can have some really good back and forths with him well funnily enough I had some weird ludo narrative dissonance because I finished Act 1 and I immediately started doing side missions and Johnny would just pop up and we'd have casual banter and then well I do like that but what I'm saying is I then do the story mission right after the like the first story mission in Act 2 and Johnny pops up and they're talking like they've never met before and they hate each other yeah that is a bit weird it's surprising how much of that is in this game they don't account for the different pathways you can take very well at all the game you expect you're gonna go straight to Takimoto after you leave but I didn't that was bizarre expectation well after 2 hours that was like 2 hour mission I want to explore the world after like 2 hours of Arasaka shit this is the moment you get set loose right this is the moment you get set loose into the world and then they seem to be banking on you immediately going to the story thing why would you ever expect that yeah I don't know so for me it was their relationship that screwed up because I did talk to Takamura and it was clear that V and Johnny's relationship was not good they didn't like each other so I just went 5 meters and found a guy playing a guitar and all of a sudden they're best shums talking about how finger technique and finger style like what the fuck just happened yeah one of the things early on with me and Johnny that made it hard for me to connect with them or be interested in them is that V says nothing that I would say like V is always I'm interested in learning about this Johnny guy and what he's gonna do and what he thinks and are we gonna work together and stuff like that and every time V would say something it would just be nothing at all like what I would say and so it got really hard for me to connect with this relationship they're trying to build well it also kind of splits the game in two I mean for the first I don't know how many hours it's basically a story of V and Jackie right and like what they want for their lives and then Takamura comes in Johnny comes in and then it's the end of the game it's some consistency I think is missing I feel like the Jackie you know that though they should have kept him around for way longer it felt like it went from mafia to a completely different story because I don't have any anchor and maybe that's sort of the point but the gameplay suffers for it and the story does like if I if the one constant I had from beginning to the end was Jackie and then he was what was in jeopardy that I was going to care about and maybe I had to decide between him or whatever gameplay things might happen that would be effective but if everyone's just like dying and I don't have anything to have and keep in terms of characters and relationships it's just like they dump that off in favor of like the actual narrative versus the character I felt that way anyway it's like I really like Jackie for the six hours or whatever and I was really curious what was going to happen and then Johnny comes in I think his performance was really good like he's an asshole but you kind of like him so I feel like that's a win but after like Johnny comes in it's more like goals versus like things inside the world that change and then the ending happens and it's like huh it does something that bugs the hell out of me in these open world games and it's kind of petty but it really annoys me in the boys in these open world games where you're encouraged to like go around and explore and piss around do whatever you want they make the main story something where time is very pressing of the essence which makes me really feel weird anytime I'm not doing something that's directly tied to the main story we have to go through such oh this person's over here we gotta get there quick quick quick which is three for example like Siri is being hunted down by the wild as we speak but also let me go and help this lady find a pan and then in cyber just a few more rounds of Gwen I'm literally dying by the second but I'm gonna go and just do some biz to get money I guess let me buy a new car hold on it's gonna be the best street brother in Night City it's really annoying to me but it's I don't think any open world can ever get away from that besides cutting me on a content you can interact with I think you just don't have a ticking time bomb as your main quest the main quest is just this not in the games that do have those you can't expect people not to notice unless you just remove everything away from them so they can focus on that stuff yeah if it's Fallout I mean Fallout New Vegas there was just this overarching the main story for the most part was these factions and they don't like each other and something might go down but it's not like a huge deal if it's not super fast you have Fallout 4 which is your son has been kidnapped and stolen from you you have to go find him also there could be duck tape in that outhouse go and check Cyberpunk I do want to give a bit of credit to because it almost feels like it's somewhat aware of that issue and tries to solve it but doesn't try nearly hard enough which makes it harder to give us the credit in that a lot of main story things after you get done with a particular quest or quest chain the person will then go to you okay I need to do some stuff call some people find some stuff do some digging whatever I'll call you I love that actually yes good so you're enabling me to go and do side things without feeling like hold on I have very pressing main story consensus to worry about the trouble becomes there's three main story things for the most of the main story so and there's no way you can get them all done quick enough that you then still have time to do things before the next one is like back to being ready to proceed with so yeah but at least you're aware yeah of the issue trying something there's like you needed to go a bit further more time I think between main story emissions perhaps yeah but then you could like fast forward time which by the way is hilarious because the cars don't move like you can fast forward 24 hours in advance and the same car will be parked right next to you at least change the position this time at least it's quick because you could just fast forward three days or whatever cuz talking more is like oh hold on I gotta find out some more shit give me a couple days you fast forward 72 hours or whatever he calls you right back so like yeah they try but at the same time you can circumvent at the same time what did you guys think about the montage with Jackie that they just people felt that they skipped over what should have been in the game it was cut content let's feel that way it feels like it would have been good that part of the game it feels like that part the game would have been where you really figure out what you're gonna be doing like who you are especially because in the during act one in particular if you do the story missions you don't feel like you get to do a lot of stuff like there's a lot of talking and I'm not generally the one to complain about this but there's a lot of sitting and listening and talking and so I'm just like man all that action that you blew by in that montage that looked awfully fun it was looking really fun all those stuff they were doing I just think it would have been better for your investment in Jackie too like this is a guy who's essentially taking you in looking after you and then you work with him until you're able to take care of yourself fully like that sounds like something that if you went through it would be really good for well the first act yeah you live in his house for a while until you get your own place so you should know his family how things that nature I feel like a lot of people clearly displays the issue with the multiple life parts because you see your corpo character and then the montage is the same every time it's like that's the shit you end up going and doing you're very clearly being funneled into this one particular type of character who has this particular occupation being a merc it's almost like have your lifestyle be like your character class in a way like it should be big and important and impactful you gotta tie in the narrative to the mechanics I have no idea how feasible it could have been but it almost feels like it should have been like three completely separate stories almost have the ability to have it to where your lifestyle choice will determine what your attributes are you know if you're a street guy then you'll have these stats and you'll know about these things more than these things if you're corpo then you'll know about these things more than these things or in addition to things you know about the street kid gets more cool and they get more reflexes here's your pool of stuff but because of your lifestyle you can distribute it between all of these you can't do over there because you have no idea what those are because you're corpo you don't know anything about the CD underbelly of the city really maybe you could have it where if you pick a corpo specifically you are better at talking you're better at getting information through communicating with people we're talking about really you should be shit with street smarts but you should be on top of operations I guess that's what I'm saying is like maybe just because I kind of feel like I sometimes think it's better to just do the thing that Rakes just said where it's like these are your classes you are this at least you feel like you made a choice that's important because choosing what class you are that is a very impactful and constant thing that it creates constraints and challenges for you to work within that you're always aware of and you're like yeah that was a choice I made and it makes sense narratively too I am a corpo I need to use my technological skill and my speech craft and my handgun skill because you carry like a concealed sidearm with you and so you're really good at pistols but you don't really use rifles and snipe rifles ever so you don't really have much knowledge about those things like that the game belabers the point is to the corpo types are not well liked on the streets which makes it a wonder how your character with your background gets anything done considering all of your interactions because the game wasn't built with corpo because it doesn't make a difference anyway the game was built with corpo having its own thing it feels like and then they had to staple it onto this despite the fact that everyone would probably tell you to fuck off the moment you started trying to talk to them which honestly would be kinda cool a part of your handicap is that most people on the street hate you they just don't like you already so you have to work a little harder in that respect they already did that with Mankind Divided because you might need to for being an old yeah unless you do business with someone in particular they just don't let you into the afterlife things like that yeah in some missions yeah have that be a whole mission where it's like I need to get into the afterlife and then you have to sneak in in the same way in human revolution well it's basically the same as in human revolution where you go to the police station if you screw up the conversation with the cop at the front you have to sneak your way in same as in The Hive that was a real sequence it's almost like Deus Ex is better but hey look yeah y'all need to play Deus Ex I've played Human Revolution was the one I played I still need to play Mankind Divided but I really liked it it was a fun game to play I played a non-lethal stealth game and it was so fun it was great so good Mankind Divided is basically just human revolution but with improvements to the gameplay mechanics yeah but the story though the story is not as good the music is not as good and it's not by the grandeur and uh I hope we get a sequel please just Avengers fail all right just bury it and give me a better game I actually tried to write the third game once unironically I tried to write fan right that's cool but yeah I was gonna say we're gonna this is probably a good interval to be like hey if you want if you want to jump out now um that that's that's a okay and uh I guess if before you go tone if you want to talk about what you do on your channel before you before you go so people can find you wherever you may be whatever you're up to I'm gonna review of uh Cyberpunk right yeah um I just talk about games you guys can find me at Slashdown with Rust I appreciate you guys having me on it it was really fun thanks for the chit chat yeah I was good to get you ready for it and I hope you all are well for Christmas yeah that's right it is almost upon us thanks for joining us dude hope you guys have a fantastic Christmas nice to meet you okay guys see you later bye I think I'm gonna I'm gonna take this opportunity to head off as well got some family stuff to do um family I know right who has one of those not Spider-Man um not Corphos uh yeah but uh thanks for having me on guys um I like I said I think it's gonna be like a I think it's 5 out of 10 is a fair rating for this game at the moment 6 if you fix all the bugs and I'm hoping they do do like a No Man's Sky thing where they you know add in all the features they promised to make it good uh there's a lot of potential here but it's just not here at the moment so yeah I do think it's got potential but Yig they're gonna have to work for it do you want to let people know what you're up to on your channel links are in description and chat for both so yeah I make videos mostly on like movies and TV shows uh that's like funny reviews and stuff so you guys might be interested in that uh do feel free to swing by yes very much so what was the last one you did was the uh Lovecraft movies yeah yeah yeah the Howard Lovecraft movies they're like at poorly poorly made animated movies about Lovecraft like Cthulhu but for children so it's very it's very weird to say the least Lovecraft you guys should check out the trailer for the trailers for these movies at least because you'll just be like what the fuck is this I think I did at one point and that's why I found when you were covering it I was like oh no way what a coincidence I'm almost certain saw one once they're like I don't know why anyone made them it's a it's an enigma funny though oh yeah and for that for that person asking in chat when's we long uh January there you go January very very good movie yeah great you love it alright catch you later guys bye bye bye so yeah what else do you in relation to cyberpug is there anything anyone wants to cover a bit more or I think the music's okay there are a couple good combat tracks in there and I think the the one where the ending one which I won't spoil is also quite excellent yeah I like that do do do do do do do do like the one that plays when you Johnny Silverhand flash track the first one easily the best track in the game that's the rebel part it's called if you want to search it yeah oh okay good a lot of time goes on and there's a really good version with an electric cello at the start that isn't official on the soundtrack and it makes me yeah it's I hate it when people do that when they have there's clearly stuff in the material and it's not on the OST or the soundtrack yeah that's every game literally every game it's so like no cello that's going watching sabato get murdered it's like that was really good but no it's not on the sound like oh what's that you want that menu music from remnant be from ashes well you guess what asshole it's different it's a we got a different version on our OST so if you want that other one you got to like rip it from the game or something or record your screen no why I got you cheap for that yeah yeah they usually try and save you on that with different people who also looking for those tracks yeah and I was going to say I'll probably finish the game I might give it a second play through if if I feel like it'll be worth exploring more and we will keep an eye on it the podcast goes on and keep updates here and there but yeah like it's not great as a starting point for CD probably right I guess in general if the if you strip away all the context in this game just this is a game that released what do you think you'd be like yeah yeah right needs few updates this would be if this was a studio that hadn't really done anything like this before and this was their first attempt at making a big game it would be a very admirable first attempt however the context of this is CD project red like 500 people with like a hundred million dollar budget probably is actually significantly lower than red dead redemption to hugely lower oh now now want to know actually I can find out yeah I wrote cyber bunk when I was looking at cyber I'm generally more down on CDPR than most people I think I'm fairly down on the Witcher 3 I I think I've been over this on a previous conversation but the game is quality wise with the exclusion of the bugs which is a big ask I know roughly equivalent in terms of quality to what I would have expected from CDPR I'm finding many conflicting stories on the budget Wikipedia says it was 330 million which I don't believe I don't think so I think it's around 120 140 yeah so I found something that said CD project red Q3 2020 presentation about non-GOG development expenditures was about 111 million it's like that seems more reasonable oh red dead red after two is probably like half a billion dollars I wouldn't be surprised yeah it was incredible and they have like 800 people there well I think it's not only the people who are in Rockstar like North the main studio but also like pulling from all the other studios because they don't make other games anymore it doesn't seem like Rockstar make anything like Max Paynes or bullies or LA Noirs or midnight club anymore it's just their open world games oh hmm no that's not the budget that doesn't make sense I'm probably not going to find this information but yeah good point actually a lot of that budget might went to marketing it is the biggest marketing campaign I've ever seen in my life that's huge I don't like the bright yellow with that one dude on it I think the cover I do you like the cover see it's unique it's what I like about it um yeah in the sense because guy with a gun on the box definitely isn't oh that's a bit you know no yeah the guy with the guns a bit shit but I actually like the colors I do like the color I like the yellow but yeah but I don't like the cover as a whole the game to me is I don't know why the game is like especially night city and how it's it's the most interesting to look at I feel during the night when it's mostly dark with but with all the lights and stuff illuminating everything I just don't feel like the big bold fully yellow just really kind of gets that across and I think it's just a pride of just color I can hate you imagine if it was blue or red or green it's just shit but yellow yellow is where it's at man I don't know I think a big bold red you know you could do a lot with red white and black and stuff like that I don't know well I guess I could do the defining thing about the drama right is contrast that's part of what makes the aesthetics so striking right is like the streets at night in the rain with this visual overload of neon signs and lights and sounds and colors everywhere alongside it so I feel like when you're marketing something the cyberpunk setting like that's kind of the angle you want to be playing though admittedly I I've started to shift away from me like oh this is what cyberpunk is so it should be that it is funny because I did a video on mancon divided and I shit on the setting because I'm like oh Prague like why is it somewhere else yeah well I've changed my mind since then like now I don't care like it's whichever setting you want I would argue that's one of the most creative cyberpunk art styles ever especially in evolution renaissance that's just genius I yeah I've changed my mind the city of Prague it's really cool to have these old European buildings juxtaposed against this really high tech stuff yeah it's probably what it'd be it's like nowadays you know people you know you compare your gadgets with the buildings which one changes first and how long does it take you still have the sidewalks that have the weeds growing up in between the cracks like a step and you'll be in front of it this is the new building and it's clearly modern and different and it's next to this other building that's just still kind of old and bricks someone will drive by with a car that's super high tech at Tesla and then behind it it'll be just some some old car yeah it's something I really like about night cities design actually that I do want to raise it looks like this absolute mangle that was built like very iteratively I agree I like the way the city looks good I think the city looks awesome it's a shame I think that's part of the trick that the game pulls as well in terms of like density because a lot of the locations that the game takes you to a market to like these little side alleys you got to walk through and it really makes the game feel like this like a real city but then I feel like the areas in between those places and not as dense but the illusion is still kind of nifty yeah I'm definitely immersed when I'm just walking around I definitely believe that this is a real city and it's not difficult for me to do so when you go up the elevator to go to your apartment and then the glass like you're peering through the glass and seeing all the other buildings it feels like you're in this place it's awesome it's just this mangle of skyscrapers and you know buildings offices, apartments all just twisting around each other it feels very iteratively like that yeah no it absolutely does it's like it's cool unfortunately I've seen somebody in chat say man kind of divided city is like three blocks yeah but every door opens buddy every door opens give me dense oh yeah that's what I mean dimension over breadth and small area yeah because in cyberpunk you already see it just like you do with GTA 5 how many buildings can you actually go into GTA 5 is a lot worse than GTA 4 in that regard a lot of people shut on GTA 4 for being empty it's like no it's not you just didn't look around enough there's lots of buildings you can go into lot of places that are just boxes that are empty to take up space you can't go inside and do anything remember how you used to be able to go to clock and bell have you ever gone to clock and bell in Grand Theft Auto 5 no you haven't that's true shit in the fast food toilets and that is a travesty precisely I do like that when you shoot rockets the only black guy in the call is saying it's a tragedy you can't get fast food fried chicken hey look fucking bell if that was the real place I'd be going there every day breakfast lunch and dinner for breakfast you have egg and bacon and chicken in like a muffin not like a muffin with berries in it like a McMuffin why is it called a McMuffin when it's not one it's not a muffin at McDonald's it's just some fucking Mcly I guess a Mcly friggy ordering a number 9 I'll have a number 9 lunch a number 6 to number 7 with extra dip what were they all and I'll have a Mcwater, no Mcice please no Mcice, I like how that's just how it works Mcsomething hey can I get a Mcburger with some McNuggets and a Mcoak can I make it a Mcsmall I'm not that hungry the place was called Donald's McDonald's McDonald's McDonald's McDonald's Mcbeth squads after you can I get the Mc cybernetic arm with the Mc i enhancement oracle can I have the Mcsurgery can I have some Mcsurgery can I use your Mcbother please can I use your Mcbother please oh god I need a McBibass right now can I get this sounds like the setup for a funny movie where someone transports like 200 years to the future where Mcdolls own everything and he has to refer to things that way he's like diabetes like I need my Mcinsulin please president big mac I'm back in my apartment to watch my McTV I'm gonna watch McBuffy the vampire slayer I've been watching that 200 years from now look it holds up oh yeah Theo you could tell you've been watching some of that haven't you what's your latest update I don't know what you're watching it's pretty good guys what do you mean Theo where are you an angel where abouts are you up to he's about to start season 4 I think we have heard things that makes me very worried considering what happened in season 3 I want to be there when you watch a specific episode in season 4 I'll make sure that we but the bright side that Theo recently finished Buffy season 6 which is pretty fucking same really good I just remembered like I was at the shops the other day and I saw a box set for Angel on DVD and I was like now look for it online and it was way more expensive online so I need it I need to have that in my life is this actually a good show well Angel yes it is surprisingly yeah you gotta be in it for the long haul though yeah it is a good show an asterisk that says the asterisk are you willing to sit through two seasons of not good you can't just skip the two seasons no it's all you gotta watch the whole thing but hey I don't think anybody would fault you if you quit in the first few seasons yeah that's a tough sell but at the same time I don't know anyone who's completed the show and gone it wasn't worth the shitty episodes see Buffy and Angel aren't like the Clone Wars where people oh god here we go season 3 guys oh but season 3 is bad well then it gets good in season 4 um season what was still bad I'm afraid well it gets good in season 5 then funnily enough by the way guys apparently in Rebels Bo Katan got given a dark sabre without having to get it in combat yep I think that Star Wars girl sent me a clip of it she gets handed it by someone literally the same scenario as in Mandalorian but there is no bullshit about how you have to beat someone in combat that's completely made up apparently it was funny because we treated it in our coverage as though it was set up in TCW or Rebels it's not even apparently so uh man I'm amazed that they actually did that like whatever so stupid manufacturing drama you got Bo Katan wait sorry Bo Katan also by the way the way that a character's name sound should be the same across all like why would it be Bo Katan and then Katan what do they call her in TCW is she in that uh who sorry Bo Katan Katan what's the consensus on that oh her Bo Katan everyone calls her Bo Katan in Mandalorian let me let me pull out pulling it up on her I think they just said Katan and I don't know I might not be she calls herself Bo Katan I don't know fio is a pretentious a-hole who doesn't know what the hell he's talking about sorry you got five dollars for it Zach actually was the last defect that he said something similar he is not a fan of your w takes well he can continue to be wrong then he's going to send another super joy roast and it juggles how dare you keep asking me what the best moment of TCW is I never have a good answer so I'm not going to give one oh that's reassuring what's the best moment here's the thing guys when you watch episode 3 and you're looking at Obi-Wan and Anakin going on adventures do you believe that between episode 2 and episode 3 that Obi-Wan faked his death shaved his head and got an implant that shape shifted his shape shifted his face into a bounty hunter and then went on an adventure as a totally different what like this is it's insane that that's canon apparently it's canon that arc was such fucking nonsense this weird like battle in a gauntlet to like to get into this like weird club of bounty hunters there's another $5 way there telling me to be wrong there choosing to be blighted by hate listen Theo maybe if you watch the show again he being wrong you'll be knowing that soon you could pay me well maybe you could pay me but oh you know what I wouldn't do it well I don't want to explain this I watched once more with feeling and I don't know get why it's so great Waller could you explain it's like I would like to say I don't want to go into it for spoilers it's one of the best episodes of Buffy so I would want to just watch it again and listen it's all like we're not trying to come across as mean it's just to explain it in this context would be spoilery as fuck I came off too rude I don't mean as in you weren't listening before I mean you know like pay close attention because you'll be rewarded for it maybe maybe what do you think Theo if I said it's not even close to being close with that with that it gives the right impression like Buffy is better and it's not even close to being close that ball of season 6 is the worst season of Buffy it was funny because I think were you there when Theo finished season 6 for you in the call I can't remember I was yes we fucking talked about how good season 6 is for like 2 hours or some shit I don't even remember it was just fun because it was just going over everything it's it's good shit everyone should go watch it and if you hate it that's okay too well I it's very holistic to use a vague word you guys actually like Star Wars this is something I haven't figured out yet oh when you say these guys do you mean chat or us cause yeah we all hate it everyone here I thought you guys were like really passionate about Star Wars but like you don't like anything we just went over how much we like Buffy that's not Star Wars okay so I think there are two good movies there's two more that I like and then the rest I don't like I like the games I like the prequels well I like the prequels yeah but um but I would not describe myself Star Wars fan I like the first two films and that's about it I think there are some neat ideas I don't know but what does it mean to be a fan of something that you like everything in it I don't know people just don't like anything we like New Hope and Empire fucking shit done based on like how the thing itself there's a whole bunch of Star Wars games that we've got a lot of praise for oh yeah the games the old games love that shit did you like Fallen Order not really it was fine yeah it was fine did you like Rogue One I like the ending of Rogue One I'd have to re-watch it to tell you it's been so long at this point I remember being quite bored it felt like a 40 minute sequence that they had a clear vision for and then they needed to put the rest of the film on it yes I think that's accurate actually that describes how I feel didn't know that you like I've always said that I like the prequels I just think they're bad they look like they're bad I'm the one who hates them I enjoy them it's yeah I don't know so who's up for me actually getting into super chat seeing what the community has to say about Cyberpunk 2077 sure sounds fun the first one says very very relevant you guys want a Krabby Patty yep wow I was expecting a little bit more discussion on that but okay fine like you can't get one in the game can you 4 hours in Mola 4 hours more like 3 hours and 46 minutes loser dab uh hi Mola, hi rags he would say hi he's just a little bit busy have you seen the Berserk motion comic by Studio Taka episode 2 just recently on YouTube it's good rant Theo, your anime what does that mean I have heard about this but I have not looked into it I presume it's someone just incredibly desperate to get animated Berserk that isn't terrible I wonder how well that's going it's not going to be but good god it has a really bad history with animation it's got one good adaptation that does some of it but then it ended of course so and then the manga kept going and there was more to do and they kept trying to make adaptations and it didn't go too well but yeah hopefully that is good shit and Berserk fans go have a look at it I guess Mola with dramatic voice silence rags I do not wish to be horny anymore I just wish to be happy also hi rags I'm sure we'd appreciate that holy moly is that the legend himself the white light? I love your prototype videos it's good to see you man I hope you're still here it's been 3 hours and 46 minutes but uh yeah 48 minutes idiot for fuck's sake completely changed since you last looked at it this is classic white light all your information is out of date how many silver play buttons do you have Mola? 17 how many do you have I can hardly move why do you have so many silver play buttons because well I got you know swindled multiple girlfriends at once so I gave them each one thinking just keeping them under like a big coat like you want to buy some silver play button like a silver play button empire I mean I could do with the amount of subscribers I have it would not be a bad it'd be a beskar armor and all the bullets would deflect off of it do you get shot at regularly? an aura of clout I want that to be an unlock in a video game I want a clout aura that intercepts incoming projectiles 3 seasons into clomor so far I give it a watch it while doing chores so you have a distraction from the bad bits out of 10 what a riggy endorsement holy shit well that's about accurate white light is the best more of the boy I demand it agreed wow can't believe you just said that about yourself that is so fucked up exposed you know how it is so you're working on the script now for your cyberpunk video I'm working on a lot of scripts but cyberpunk is one of them I've got a lot to say there can be a 7 hour video no it will be like a 40 minute video I would rather die than make a 7 hour video on this do you think if you finish a script and then it got a huge update would you then play that update and then update the script or would you just release so I'd release because I would have accounted for any possible patches they're not going to overhaul the game but before I managed to put the video out alright the race is on yeah blues brothers e-fab movies when it's the best film oh that could happen eventually definitely not out of the question do we have much to say about it though well I mean that logic is kind of hard to tell if a movie will work for e-fab movies ever honestly never know and they can get scrapped if they don't work out yeah hey rags and white light yeah this is what I mean it's kind of officialised the podcast to get someone like white light on here once you get white light and count dankula once you get those two it's kind of like you're the best podcast on planet earth I'd say because you two are the two sides of the your cool coin right I've donated you my aura of clout so you're not projecting out into the internet sphere waiting for more to say well seasoned argument wait is that like they want you to say a line for a meme video I don't know I'm not sure I just did say it again I mean if you want me to say it a second time I guess you're going to have to send in a super chat because that you know there's costing a lot to be able to say I'm not attached to the uh sorry I can't do it just do it you owe me more because I've made the podcast official fine wheel seasoned argument wow there you go I give you a delicious compliance top post well done hey well please recite this in your epic voice what the fuck is this I am the storm that is approaching provoking black clouds in isolation I am reclaimer of my name born in flames I have been blessed my family crest is a demon of death what is that is the lyrics to bury the light a character's battle theme for devil may cry five that just launched on pc that's not pretty edgy how do you know that edgy as fuck and I know that because devil may cry five is my favorite game ever okay still waiting on that video Theo well the script got deleted so you you tube you were you tube I don't but I want to a youtuber in in practice uh no wait in theory that's the one one day in practice I hope to get there eventually oh god chat's exploding with it there you go there's your audience bury the light yeah high rags oh shit we didn't mention gene at all while uh well tonal does here damn who's gene gene is a character he created an original character on a little game we play we draw pictures and stuff like Galathar the skin you heard of the eater of skin Galathar or edgy the edgy what is that no you've not heard of Galathar the eater of skin I don't know like I'm just asking you guys are just saying syllables at me man I've got no idea what it was what I said was words I'm pretty sure I'd have to check but still it's a pretty simple question have you heard of Galathar gene the destroyer gene the destroyer in Galathar gene the destroyer yeah ha ha ha ha ha ha yeah well that's that's gonna happen these are the three lines that's gonna be the destroyers the edgy time uh I'd say that your life will be enriched if you could find out about Galathar it's a good one Galathar, is that what his name was?


NRF2 is a transcription factor involved in the regulation of oxidative stress and inflammation. It is also known to be a key player in the maintenance of the redox system, which is disrupted in many non-communicable diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease, IBD. Activating NRF2 can help reduce oxidative stress and inflammation, making it a promising therapeutic target for treating and preventing these diseases. Natural kumarins derived from plants and fermented foods can activate NRF2 and thus reduce inflammation in the gut. These compounds can be used as lead compounds for the development of new drugs that could potentially treat IBD. Further research is needed to fully understand how these compounds work and how they can be used to treat IBD. This article was authored by Louise C. D. Stossi.


The recent success of mRNA vaccines in SARS-CoV-2 clinical trials is in part due to the development of lipid nanoparticle delivery systems that not only efficiently express the mRNA encoded immunogen after intramuscular injection, but also play roles as adjuvants and in vaccine reactogenicity. We present an overview of mRNA delivery systems and then focus on the lipid nanoparticles used in the current SARS-CoV-2 vaccine clinical trials. The review concludes with an analysis of the determinants of the performance of lipid nanoparticles in mRNA vaccines. This article was authored by Michael D. Bushman, Manuel J. Carrasco, Simon Elishetti, and others.
