Oh, no, don’t mind me, just looking up what Keanu Reeves looked like when he was 32 (in ~1996-97) so I can have an idea what Johnny Silverhand would look like if he wasn’t mocapped by Keanu during his 50s...

Realiazing it’s during the days of Chain Reaction(1996) and The Devil’s Advocate(1997) and having an heart attack now understanding why Johnny Silverhand could pull off so much pussy.

Ahhhh, yeah, I see your point. Forgot that Alt's AI in the game tells you that technically Johnny altered his memories to make him the hero (lol, my lovely narcissistic bitch <3), so it was indeed Militech that planned the raid.

Yet I still stand that Johnny should be canonicly (is that even a word) older, still.

I’m just rambling here

The lore doesn’t make any sense to me regarding the timeline…

Johnny was born in 1988, he was part of the Second Central American War, which supposedly began on January 13th, 2003, so Johnny would have been 15 at the time. Which is impossible as the youngest a man can go to war is 17 with parents consent, 18 without. So technically Johnny would have gone in minimum 2005. Which would be technically alright as the war lasted until 2010.

HOWEVER, Johnny supposedly FORMED Samurai in 2003 with the others AFTER he went to war, as we are made to also believe that he formed the band to revolt against the corporations he hated since the war.

So you’re telling me young Johnny at age 15 had already went to war and wanted to burn everything down??? I mean, fucking hell, same, honestly, but it makes me think that he should have been older in the lore. (I mean, with even looking specifically at the visual in the game, Keanu/Johnny doesn’t look like a 32 years old man, more like a 40ish y/o man)

ALSO, you’re telling me that Johnny fucking waited 10 YEARS to make a move on Arasaka after they took Alt??? Alt was taken in 2013, Johnny raided Arasaka Tower in 2023 (which is both shown in the game AND the Cyberpunk 2020 sourcebook). WTF DUDE, 1 year I would concede, but 10 fucking whole years?? What took you so long??? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH

Okay, I’m cool, I’m calm…

Does it show that much that I am spending much of my free time reading stuff about the lore of Cyberpunk? I feel like I could talk about that game for ages… Fucking hell, I love it, haha!

About loving Johnny

I have a hard time accepting the fact that most of us playing Cyberpunk 2077 are simply falling in love with a bunch of data from a chip. 

Taken directly from Johnny Silverhand’s Cyberpunk Wiki page (spoiler ahead): “Depending on the dialogue choices the player makes in Cyberpunk 2077, they can either make Johnny's engram admit he's nothing but data or give him a sense of humanity. If Johnny is treated like nothing but data, he will admit his nature is to inspire rebellion within V and to honor the real Johnny Silverhand's final wish while he returns with the image of Alt Cunningham through the Blackwall.”

He can admit he is nothing but codes, but the player is the one who gave him so much humanity.

It fucks with my mind so much. I can not stop thinking about how much it gives off a feeling about V, us, feeling lonely in this hardship, so they decide to make it seems not as lonely. This game can be taken apart of so many levels, there is so much complexity when you think about it... Psychology, philosophy, sociology, literature... This game could have been such a masterpiece, (it is one in my mind despite the critics) but it took such a beating because the game was rushed, people were getting too impatient of waiting...

“Nearly everyone I know feels that some quality of concentration they once possessed has been destroyed. Reading books has become hard; the mind keeps wanting to shift from whatever it is paying attention to to pay attention to something else. A restlessness has seized hold of many of us, a sense that we should be doing something else, no matter what we are doing, or doing at least two things at once, or going to check some other medium. It’s an anxiety about keeping up, about not being left out or getting behind. (Maybe it was a landmark when Paris Hilton answered her mobile phone while having sex while being videotaped a decade ago). The older people I know are less affected because they don’t partake so much of new media, or because their habits of mind and time are entrenched. The really young swim like fish through the new media and hardly seem to know that life was ever different. But those of us in the middle feel a sense of loss. I think it is for a quality of time we no longer have, and that is hard to name and harder to imagine reclaiming. My time does not come in large, focused blocks, but in fragments and shards. The fault is my own, arguably, but it’s yours too – it’s the fault of everyone I know who rarely finds herself or himself with uninterrupted hours. We’re shattered. We’re breaking up. It’s hard, now, to be with someone else wholly, uninterruptedly, and it’s hard to be truly alone. The fine art of doing nothing in particular, also known as thinking, or musing, or introspection, or simply moments of being, was part of what happened when you walked from here to there alone, or stared out the train window, or contemplated the road, but the new technologies have flooded those open spaces. Space for free thought is routinely regarded as a void, and filled up with sounds and distractions.”

“Right now we need to articulate these subtle things, this richer, more expansive quality of time and attention and connection, to hold onto it. Can we? The alternative is grim, with a grimness that would be hard to explain to someone who’s distracted.” - Rebecca Solnit.

A fanfic I read twice, because it was so well written. It could be developped so much further, there could be more stories written within this world. Quite a nice worldbuilding. Kudos to the writer, honestly :)

I told Miyazaki I love the “gratuitous motion” in his films; instead of every movement being dictated by the story, sometimes people will just sit for a moment, or they will sigh, or look in a running stream, or do something extra, not to advance the story but only to give the sense of time and place and who they are.

“We have a word for that in Japanese,” he said. “It’s called ma. Emptiness. It’s there intentionally.”

Is that like the “pillow words” that separate phrases in Japanese poetry?

“I don’t think it’s like the pillow word.” He clapped his hands three or four times. “The time in between my clapping is ma. If you just have non-stop action with no breathing space at all, it’s just busyness, But if you take a moment, then the tension building in the film can grow into a wider dimension. If you just have constant tension at 80 degrees all the time you just get numb.”

Which helps explain why Miyazaki’s films are more absorbing and involving than the frantic cheerful action in a lot of American animation. I asked him to explain that a little more.

“The people who make the movies are scared of silence, so they want to paper and plaster it over,” he said. “They’re worried that the audience will get bored. They might go up and get some popcorn.

But just because it’s 80 percent intense all the time doesn’t mean the kids are going to bless you with their concentration. What really matters is the underlying emotions–that you never let go of those.

— Roger Ebert in conversation with Hiyao Miyazaki

Good stuff.
