- Starting to think that a Cyberpunk game from an multimillion dollar corporation may be the equivalent of minting an NFT of the Amazon Rainforest in the name of environmentalism. Whoddaguessed.

Yes Yes 👍🏼 lolololololooooooooooooooloololololooloololll
Is the bachelor video gonna just be the bachelor day 6-12? Or also include one of the other characters
God forbid two
Just imagine being one of those people who got the excusive cyberpunk themed Xbox one, only to find out that it cant run cyberpunk.
One X actually ran it pretty well.
This feels so relevant with the news of Kentaro Miura's passing from a health issue thats extremely tied to stress. The man gave us Berserk, a work of art and incredible emotion, and killed himself doing it. Or rather, the horrific conditions and pressures of the industry did. I would have gladly never had Berserk, or HxH, or any of these works if it meant that the creators wouldnt have their health destroyed. It isnt worth it.
I get this is multiple years old but, worth saying that he didn't work himself to death. He head an extremely healthy work/life balance before his death, hence the reason chapters came so slowly.
So I think I connected to the first half of this video in a way I haven't with anything in a while. Lemme explain.
I'm a severe hypochondriac, which is to say that I suffer from health anxiety. In most media this is usually portrayed as a fairly comedic character trait, "haha Karl thinks he's sick when he isn't," but in reality it's anything but. Imagine waking up each day being in perfect health and yet being convinced to such an extent that feel that it is indisputable that you have a terminal illness and have anywhere between a few weeks to a few months before you are going to die, and that there is nothing you can do about it. It's often hard for me to get people to take my condition seriously, and it takes a while before people are able to understand just how debilitating, deeply embarrassing, and utterly terrifying it is. When I go through an episode, the duration of which may last anywhere from a few days to over a year, my inevitable death becomes literally the only thing I can consistently think of. It's always at the forefront of my mind, ever present, day and night, at work, at school, or at home. "I'm going to die. Soon." Even when I know logically that I am not dying yet, that I have a diagnosed mental condition that I am paying a significant amount of my limited money to treat, it's never something I can dismiss entirely.
And really, even if I were to beat my condition and dismiss my compulsive thoughts and kick my hypochondria to the curb, it wouldn't change anything. I might live for a week, a month, a year, century, for a millennia, and yet I am still going to die one day. It's something I am going to have to deal with in time.
And I feel like the first half of this video really touched on that with me, because really how the fuck do you live with that? Death terrifies me in a way that nothing else does and I have never had an honest, intimate discussion about it with anyone, and I've never fully had it under control. When I go through an episode of my condition it normally just disables me. I usually can't go to work, I can't play games or read books or watches movies or shows. I usually just lie down and think, in terror, of the inevitability of my death and the horror and uncertainty I feel in regards to what comes after, or if anything at all even comes after. There are few things I would love more than anything else than to have a relief from this ever present, lingering terror that I have had to live with for what has felt like entire years of my life, but I have made some progress, half-steps though they might be. I've had to accept that life is something I need to live in the present, that I can't become so stuck in the unknown of the future that I have no control over. That I have actually existed, that I am real, a conscious entity in this utterly absurd and seemingly meaningless universe, and that though I will one day no longer exist, that I have existed, that at the moment, I do exist, and that no disease or sickness or completely unpredictable end will be able to take that from me. I live in the now, not the then, and not the later, and I can't keep living with the fear of oblivion hanging over me.
To a certain extent I know that I'm being idealistic in this regard. That these may just be comfort words I use to make myself less terrified of death and dying, but it doesn't matter. It's taken a lot of therapy for me to be as functional as I am these days, and I'm still not that functional. I still have days where my nihilistic depression takes over and leaves me bedridden, where I call in sick to work or to friendly obligations because I just can't manage to overcome my condition that day. But I always try to improve it. I try to better myself, and to not let my condition beat me. Nothing I can do will matter in the future, and long after I am gone anything I have accomplished will have faded to the cosmic entropy. That's not nihilism so much as it's just fact. I cannot make a lasting mark. I will leave behind no evidence that I ever existed. But in the moment, I do exist, and nothing can take that from me. I would love to live forever, or at least for a time so long that I cannot comprehend it, but barring that, I want to live as best as I can. I want to be the best version of me that I can be, or at least the version of me that I can be most comfortable with. That's not too much to ask for, I hope.
I recognize that this is probably not the main thing you wanted to be taken away from this video and that everything I just said has basically nothing to do with Cyberpunk's simultaneous critique of corporate capitalist culture in spite of the fact that it was actively made in the very conditions that it so openly seems to critique. Even so, this is the part of the video that hit me most. It was almost shocking just how hard your introduction applied to the specific events of my life that I am dealing with at this very moment. I'm going through a really rough time in my life right now and the first half of the video, and your take and presentation on it, struck me to the core in a way that I haven't been in a very long time, it almost felt disarming. I don't get emotional that often, and I've gotten used to feeling a resounding hollowness about most things, but I almost cried during parts of this video, a good sort of crying I mean, and I feel like I need to take the time to acknowledge my gratitude about that.
Thanks for the video Ruby. I think I needed to see something like this.
It's nice to know that you aren't the only one fighting these thoughts, from time to time.
Missed this comment in the fray, but thank you for posting it. It was definitely one of the things I wanted to be taken away cause it was one of my big takeaways from the game itself, which is why part of that lingering realization about the game's hypocrisy upset me so much. Not going to lie though, that section was honestly kind of scary for me to put together just cause the feelings I talk about there feel so raw and personal to me that in a way that I can't help but be kind of embarrassed by to such an extent that I've felt kind of ambivalent on this video since it was posted, but reading this earnestly help me feel more comfortable with and proud of it. Thanks for watching ^^
I've never really seen someone express just how terrifying health anxiety is, when its always portrayed as a joke. I've never been able to put it into words. So, thank you. I hope you keep having many more good days than bad
My favorite scene was honestly the credits. Not cos’ it was finally over lol, but because of all the different video messages you get depending on your final choice. The game was a mess but it did nail a lot of smaller intimate moments like that.
I think so too. A lot of Cyberpunk 2077, sucks. But when it's good, it's fucking great.
How it started: 🍆
How it's going: 😭
The moment you started talking about how a giant corporation delivered an intimate moment for profit while surely chrunching the hell out of the people who made that moment in the first place, an ad for a delivering company named Glovo showed up. Glovo has forced crunch on their "independent contractors", also known as "desperate people who need every penny that they can earn", and has disregarded every single labor law in my country.
The irony is just hilarious.
I saw something a while back that kind of fucked me up but this is like the core of cyber punk. Cyberpunk was always anticorporate it was never about losing your soul or your sense of self to prosthetics or cybernetics or anything like that, it was about making sure you don’t become reliant and slaves to the corporations that Own and create the cybernetics. Cyberpunk was always anti-corporate, but when it became somewhat main stream they had to dumb it down because that was too much for main stream capitalism.
Leave it to the bastards to make the whole genre about how they think prosthetics are *baaaaad.*
Exactly! It’s about controlling resources not ‘prosthetics bad’
Man, I strongly recommend you to read Neuromancer (the book I'd say encapsulates the genre's essence) and then actually reconsider your point, because I think you couldn't be more wrong
@@jcanal0221 If this Neuromancer book isn't anticorporate, then it isn't punk. If it isn't punk, it isn't cyberpunk. Simple as that.
@@earthbound9999 neuromancer invented cyberpunk lol, there were books before it but the word cyberpunk started appearing thanks to neuromancer
Still need that Pathologic sequel!!!
Thats what I'm sayin! I bet they're workin on it but man I just can't wait.
Same, I've watched the first part more times than I care to count, and will happily continue to do so because its *chef's kiss* but part 2 would be wonderful
@@0utskirtsOfNowhere lol same. I'm overdue for another watch because I catch something new each time.
Maybe it'll come out in November. (I personally want it to come as late as November)
At the end of this video, they say it will come out in September at the earliest bc it's gonna be 3-4 hours long
I honestly wonder if Cyberpunk could have made for a good linear game if all the bullshit was cut out and a curated experience had been polished to hell and back instead of spreading thin over a way too big world.
Deus Ex
Definitely.
I just learned last night of your transition. I won't presume to know how it's gone for you but knowing yourself is an extraordinary difficult task for anyone. I've made revelations about myself, some of which I've outlined in another comment on this very video, that haven't exactly made me happy but have at least given me a sense of clarity. I truly hope that you have found happiness and if not that at least clarity.
Every time I watch one of your videos I sit there in slack-jawed awe at your technical editing prowess. It's just, stunningly good. I love the points you raised in this video, and thank you for focusing on the worker exploitation angle rather than just complaining about the bugs like so many other videos did. I really love how this came out, and this is something I'm going to be watching multiple times just to take it all in. Thank you for making this.
babe wake up new codex entry video‼️
Seriously, though.
One thing I've thought about this scene recently. If the Clouds algorithm took V's personality to curate that conversation, didn't it analyze Johnny Silverhand's too? Those final lines of "If you gotta burn it all to the ground, then let it burn" could be taken by both V and Johnny at that time
It’s funny that you mention that, cause Johnny himself can verbatim say these exact lines in a later convo. Something I wanted to mention but didn’t really have space for.
@@CodexEntry I'm still playing my first playthough lol, so haven't seen that yet. I'll keep an ear out for that
This is an amazing and insightful video that i can't belive it took me so much time to watch, it actually made me re think the way I interact with the media I love, not only video games. I love Cartoons, I really do, but knowing just how much the industry mistreat the Creators on it, and how it all comes down, like you said, to the bottom line of some Corpos, it makes me feel like we are in an eternal cycle of workers being exploited and abused.
Man, that intro was so good! Especially ending on that last line from V 😉
>Shoutout to every artist with thin portfolios due to NDA's
It pisses me off everytime how this problems is somehow completely ignored on discussions surrounding ownership of music, and how STILL musicians get sleighed despite the supposed heightened rights they have over other artists.
Fuck.
The game was sadly a massive disappointment, but it did absolutely nail some of the smaller, important moments. It's really a shame that the surrounding framework didn't allow for them to shine even more.
"Can you pick me up? I'm by the transphobia cube"
Yeah next to the homophobia pyramid
Y'know those people who say "Video Games aren't art"? The AAA Industry agrees with them.
Take the time you need to complete the Pathologic part two. We will be here when it is ready.
Yep checked out an original video and then one on a game I'm very conflicted about, subscribed. This channel is fantastic. You actually caught my favorite moment in Cyberpunk and got into what I got invested in when I played it. I think the weirdest thing about playing that game is just being able to see exactly where artists who make it are raging against how they're treated in the best moments. And then seeing where they lost the fight in the worst ones.
Congratulations on the transition fam, that's awesome! Your videos are amazing, how do you have as few subs as you do?? These are high quality video essays, I love them so much, best of luck with everything you do!
She's tragically underrated fr
Hey take your time on the pathologic video don't let anyone pressure you. You videos are great and always have been so thank you for everything.
This is a really kind and considerate comment, thank you ^^
I have nothing substantial to add but this video deserves more attention, so here's a comment for the algorithm gods 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Your videos are tragically underviewed and appreciated for now, but I know they'll definitely pick up because they're well considered, are well put together, and you're insightful and delightful. Thankyou for continuing to make these.
Keep up the good work, a great thing about just finding your channel is that there is plenty of content to watch while I anticipate your new videos.
So, this video is basically perfect and I don't really have anything to say other than I'm going to watch it a million times and recommend it to all of my friends. Mostly though I'm wondering if there is/will be a patreon tier where we can ask you questions; I'd love to hear your thoughts on a few topics.
"Busy making content and cha ging genders" is a fucking ICONIC line
For me gta was always about capitalism critique...after gta online i cant take it seriously.
Agree Gta v story was about how money doesn't buy happiness,
But in online you need a ton of money just to have fun
Ey, congrats on your transition! That point you made in the disclaimer is great too. Super awesome video :)
Your editing improves every video. There may not be any ethical consumption under capitalism, but I feel pretty damn just in supporting you to keep making these amazing essays. Looking forward to all the future brings!
Don't wanna make a big deal of it, but congrats on the "changing"^^
Happy Pride Month! :)🏳️🌈
Edit:
Hope this didn't sound weird, you seemed a bit uncomfortable still in the video so I kept it short.
FOURTY TWO MINUTES?
I feel upstaged.
This scene gave me pause when I got to it. It caught me off guard in such a good way.
absolutely fabulous video. this is the kinda shit i wanna watch on youtube. i subbed for more pathologic, but if this is the quality of writing you're putting out, i gotta dig through the back catalog and see what i'm missing. very sick and radical.
39:18 "Where have you been? Busy making content and changing genders"
:O
Amazing! You go girl!
Oh shiieeeeet came to binge old content and see this is coming up!
15:20 Honestly, I really try so hard to have a conversation like this, with someone.
It seems, almost everyone runs away from it. The impending knowledge of death, and our reaction to it.
Or the meaning of life, the void, Nihilism, and the likes.
Anytime I bring up these kinds of conversations, because I hunger for them, the discussion ends.
It's sad. Really.
This was really good, pog even.
I love how you put this out just around the same time as Curio did their video - the Cyberpunk discourse is finally taking off for real!
Great video as always - definitely gonna share it in the Jimquisition groups I'm in ❤️
Oh, and congrats on the new gender! I hope this one's a better fit ☺️
Goddamn I was not ready for that, what a beatiful video you absolutely knocked it out of the park
The trailer makes the game seem like it's good.
That's...usually their job, yes.
@@pedroportela6476 this comment has bachelor energy
CHRIST, I'll be honest I was not expecting this much amazing quality packed into one video. Just- a million thumbs up from me, this kind of content is solid GOLD.
there's a lot of lore entries talking about worker mistreatment and corporate dehumanization scattered across the game, and every time I read one it felt less like carefully curated worldbuilding, and more like a cdpr employee's diary page with a 60 dollar pricetag. I just couldn't help but laugh at the absurdity of it and go "haha, capitalism :)" only for that to change to "haha... capitalism :|" the second I gave it any thought. it's transcendental in all the wrong ways, and all these months later I still have no idea what to think of the game
Your videos are too good. Seriously, every time I watch something like this of yours, my mind gets blown. I thoroughly enjoy hearing your thoughts. Kinda feel like throwing up or something now. Im gonna go lie down...
Edit: P.S. never skip the ads on your videos because your content means a lot to me. Thanks.
You've done an excellent job articulating something that has been eating away at me for the past few years. Thank you.
christ, this is great analysis, and great editing work. i just noticed this upload late as hell and didn't realize 40 minutes went by watching. thank you!
Back at it again. You’ve still got the touch, Codex
35k words.
I HuNgEr.
And I'm used to that. When it's finished, it's finished. Plz gib time machine tho.
Anyway. You say september, my brain has learned to disregard such things (not for you, but from all).
Release date is... when I see it posted.
Fantastic vid btw. Thanks for making these kind of things. 'gratz on yer second puberty!
The way this vid pulled the rug out from under me at ~27:40 ...wow. Seriously good stuff
I saw your pathologic video a week or two ago and hadn’t watched any of your other content, I think I need to binge the rest of your video essays soon, they are so freaking good.
I WAS LITERALLY HUNTING FOR THIS VIDEO A YEAR LATER IT STUCK IN MY BRAIN I’M SO GLAD I FOUND IT
ironically when I played this quest I used corpo dialogue to initially bargain with Forrest, before changing my mind and killing him (because for real, he deserves it), but then all later dialogue reacted as if I’d spared him, to the point where I got an opportunity to kill him again later, and I was honestly just left wondering whether what happened was a bug or CDPR literally just did not think it was possible for someone to change their mind after making a decision
„There’s no ethical consumption under capitalism“
Wow that’s really a perfect meta reading! Including this video too, because in the and CZcams does the exact same thing too…
I knew after I finished playing the game myself that all the CZcams content about the game talking about the themes and all the stuff from the the cyberpunk genre was going to be excellent
What a valuable video! Thank you for making it. Your analysis goes really satisfyingly deep and this is some good stuff right there.
The fact a channel like yours can exist is unbelievable to me. Your analysis of things have impacted me more than the thing you analyse and each video I start somewhat interested and hooked by the great editing techniques and end deeply depressed at how pointless everything is and how critical thought is a mind numbing activity that means nothing to the wider world and just leaves me wanting to kill myself and leaves me reeling from there is no point in life nothing will change. I want to die. Great stuff love the content
This section caught me so off guard in a game I otherwise despised. I grew to think all of the things you've been saying here so much that I ended up not being able to complete it and donated my copy to a friend so that he wouldn't give cdpr any more money. This game did actually accidentally ended up being a radicalizing experience for me
Phenomenal video! Thank you so much for making it!
Glued to the screen right now 👁🗨👁🗨
Just discovered your channel, this essay is incredible.
Thank you
I absolutely adore this game. I think a lot of it is for some of the reasons you stated. It is a corporate mess parading itself with all its flaws on display that constantly brushes up with greatness. The ideas here are interesting yet come off as oddly hollow with even the slightest knowledge on how the game came to be. For me this game is a lot like Fallout New Vegas. A legitimate mess that is nearly unplayable on release and without mods, yet presents enough in it to offer lots.
There's too much here for this game to be a completely reprehensible. There's soul in it that screams to be let loose yet is held in.
Excellent video. I'm looking forward to more.
Speaking with 2 extra years down the line from when this whole video was made it’s really interesting seeing that soul in this game grow and heal. Even if we cut out modding which has been a huge aspect of this game’s post launch existence the game has been worked on, recrafted, and been give the chance to fix itself. Hell we’ve even gotten an entire rework of the game along with a massive expansion on content with the DLC. It actually feels like the devs were given the ability to make the game they wanted. Shame that only happened after it came out well too early for its own good, and spoiled a lot of player’s pallet for the game. Still the fact this game was given the chance to grow and fix itself is sadly incredibly rare in the industry. Normally if the game flops hard on launch it doesn’t get the time to fix itself. Really only 3 games I know of have done this. Fallout 76, No Man’s Sky, and Cyberpunk 2077.
That all said it’s nice seeing a game that has this much soul, even when bogged down by the horrendous launch and awful crunch culture, actually get to fully shine.
You mentioned changing genders and I immediately flew into an "I don't know your pronouns!!" panic. For once, twitter was useful.
Man, it's almost like it was displaying a dystopia or something.
I only discovered this synopsis today and you sir have articulated my very thought and feelings so much on this scene it is unreal. Thank you 😊 🖤❤🖤❤
And I skipped this by accidentally killing everyone bare handed
Hey Codex, Thank you for your brilliance! I just saw that you're streaming marble's nest and wish I had caught the beginning, hope to watch later. Your Pathologic 2 play through of Soul Annihilation helped me through my Pancreatitis a year ago, I'm so glad you're back. Watching some of your other works, I just gotta say that I love the way you write/think and and honestly feel that CZcams would be a better place if you ever felt like posting more. Though I know how fickle inspiration can be, and the weight of motivation...
I literally watched this while playing Persona 5 and by god it made me miss cyberpunk so badly. I’ve been trying other games to fill the void but honestly nothing could fill in the hole the story left in me. I’m loving persona 5 it’s a blast and it’s dripping with style but cyberpunk’s story just was a punch in the gut and honestly I’ll never forget it.
Just discovered your channel, love the content! Just subbed 😁
I personally think if the studio (Im mostly talking about the studio heads) had put as much love and care into this game that Larian is putting into Baldur's Gate 3 it would have been amazing
This is genuinely such a great video!! I love your videos and am so glad you're back
we really should eat the rich right now
Awesome video!
Incredible video. It was really well paced.
Loved the video! You can really see how much love and hard work went into it. All of your content is excellent. Good luck with getting the bachelor play through video done but take breaks and take care of yourself. You have so much to share and it would be a shame if you burnt yourself out.
P.S. Congrats on the gender!
GREAT VIDEO AS ALWAYS, looking forward to the next one and best of luck with everything else in your life , andwhile we're at it happy birthday.
It is HORRIFYING to see her just snap out of it suddenly and be an entirely different person. Woah. My hourly reminder that capitalism is fucked up 😂😭
One of my fav moments. BTW which ending is your favorite? Mine is temperance.
I remember the lyrics to Y’all Don’t Wanna Step to Dis by Against Me!:
When honesty, as popular as a plague, comes to remind me
The dead's winning the race with me going nowhere
Right down the street a prostitute is selling
The closest thing to love that this country has to offer
Lovin that trailer!
My favorite part of the game is the fall into a rainbow that they stole from Hotline Miami 2. It's nice to know The Last of Us 2 isn't the only recent game that both egregiously exploited its workers and stole from Hotline Miami
I'm a new subscriber but congrats on the gender.
Also, take as much time as you need with the Pathologic video. We can wait.
Dude, your videos are weird. This is twice now I had to do something based on them in the middle of them. Like. I was watching your pathological videos, and had to doodle random things out, in a way I haven't done in a looong time. In this one, at 15:12 I had to pause and write on a new layer on the doodle page about the internet being an archive that in the future people can look through like random pages of books. I don't know how you're clicking my brain like this, but thank you!
Nice! Haven't played it and were honestly never all that interested in this game myself, but it has made for an interesting material for other forms of content down the line and I've been looking forward to this one in particular.
Cyberpunk was the first game I needed to analyze why I liked it so much.
Also: Johnny's a dick mostly if you act like a dick to him. He can be a...not a good friend but a friend.
This game should have been a linear, story-driven narrative. All of the extraneous "open world" shit just serves to ruin what this scene created.
Also, Skye is really really attractive. Whoever designed her deserves an award.
good work!
Looking forward to it!
u know wuts super weird is i saw the Nezha: Reborn movie on netflix and imo that movie genuinely has a better cyberpunk story to me than cyberpunk 2077
the most frustrating thing to me was that with all the lore around cyberpunk 2077, barely any of it mattered as most of it was just used as window dressing, after everything Night City throws at u, after seeing the living conditions of the lower class in Night City, after literally being lectured on how predatory arasaka is by Johnny Silverhand himself and seeing it time and time and time again in side missions where the one pulling the strings is either Arasaka, Militech or one of the gangs being paid off by another major corp, at the end of all that, V's dream is still to be the fucking ash ketchoom of Night City and im like, "V, you have 6 MONTHS LEFT. YOU. CANNOT. WIN. THERE IS NO WINNING AND THERE IS NO POINT TO WINNING. (i mean seriously tho? the prize for being number 1 is u get a drink named after u at a bar and you have half an idea how many people want to stab u in the back...or the front, yay what a fun life amiright? all your new friends only like u for ur capabilities and material possessions and not your personality) YOU WOULD BE UTILIZING YOUR TIME BETTER IF YOU ORGANIZED THE PEOPLE TO RISE UP IN SOLIDARITY! WAKE THE FUCK UP SAMUARI, YOU GOT A CITY TO UNITE!!"
How the heck did I miss this when it came out? Either way, great video, now I have a lot of feelings about Cyberpunk besides “lol bugs”
This content is too good for 1k likes!! Hope this blows up!!!!
Hey! Love and appreciations for the vid. I like your voice no matter what it's talking about! :D
Which... if you need any more voices for pathologic, I volunteer! I have a tiny background on voice acting...
Omg you pronounced CD Projekt correctly
loved the analysis and love the way you put this video together!!
Great video! Sad to hear Bachelor's route pt 2 will take so long but you're right, you can get it fast or get it good, and i'd rather wait. Keep up the good work!
Congrats on the gender btw
discovered you through pathologic, glad to see your other videos are great too
Hearing you gush about this scene makes me feel nostalgic for when i finished D2 for the first time (D2 by warp for the dreamcast, not diablo 2). I cant even imagine how much more surreal it would feel in a world that got covid
also
babybabybabybabybabybabybabybabybaby
Dude I totally thought this mission was absolutely awesome, (not a whole lot others but… ) This rocked.
I have not really been afraid of talking about death, suicide as well but so many people fear it. Existential crisis aside, death is painful, scary and the end of the line, but we will all meet this end.
