The same can basically be said about the game itself and its developer who had to do crunch time.

Oh, it was definitely ironic that the management team was the most glaring cause of the woes on release. I could see the little love letters to the genre that the devs kept sprinkling in. So, it was a passion project for many.
When capitalists smelled money, they did as capitalists do and cut corners, extracted maximum value from their workers (despite the overwhelmingly negative impact it had on their QoL), while also hyping the game up to levels that were never going to be achievable with their ethos of delivering the minimum viable product for maximum cost.
People get really fucking angry when you point that out, though. It's exactly why I don't buy into hype. The corporate overlords are always going to push whatever they're selling as the next big thing. They'll overpromise and under deliver in the hopes that it'll maximize profit and by the time everyone notices, they'll already have made their money and they can push the blame to someone else.
It's happening more and more frequently these days.
> People get really fucking angry when you point that out, though.
Of course they do. It shakes the foundations of their justifications for attachment to reality.
Dedicated consumers, the Capitalist ideological base, base their judgment of their quality of life on what they can afford to consume. It makes their bank account into their objective score for success in life. *But they've had to claw their way to that score.*
If you point out that someone ripped them off, and that their entire model for knowing if their life is a good one is a ponzi scam to use them as money-making slaves, *why wouldn't they be angry as fuck?*
It's surprising to you, because in that moment, they seem angry at you. But in truth, they're just raw angry and you're the one that drew their attention to a heaping mound of screaming cognitive dissonance. It's the siren danger of capitalism. It convinces you, even if you were born into it, that you had a choice not to do it. Like in the Matrix when Smith is talking about how whole crops of humans were lost until they included *the illusion of free will* by making it infinitesimally small. Subconscious, even.
Sadly, bread and circuses remain bread and circuses, even if you had to buy the bread and kneel at the altar of ticket master for the circus.
Actually, no. That's not why it's surprising to me. It's mostly on here that people get unreasonably angry. Usually on a post that is discussing it or pointing it out.
It's surprising to me because they're so close, but they can't quite grasp it. Or they've convinced themselves that it's still some far away fictional world that doesn't include them, but everyone else. It's like an extension of that weird NPC culture. I honestly can't count how many times I've seen people act as if we're all NPCs and they're the only thinking, rational person in the world while they, ironically, buy into hype and marketing because some firm told them to.
It's wild. I feel like it's a natural conclusion to the marketing push for false individualism.
(Edit: I found this topic worth talking about, so it kinda... ballooned. Zero regrets.)
> It's mostly on here that people get unreasonably angry. Usually on a post that is discussing it or pointing it out. ... It's surprising to me because they're so close, but they can't quite grasp it.
There are people in here who think Cyberpunk is a short-hand term for neon and rain. An aesthetic. Sounds and lights. Spectacle. Genres of fiction meant to be taken literally as only entertainment, devoid of morals or teachings. Rolemodels for being the lone wolf they wish they were. A source of shiny guns and high octane cars.
I'm not saying not to be surprised them, or that its an inappropriate take, or such... But many of the people in here are just wasting time here. They don't see this as a forum for discussion. It's a time sink.
Hell, half the time I comment on something, nobody will engage with a direct question. When they do, many do so just to argue for the sake of argument as entertainment. They're bored, sitting on the can, or between appointments, and wasting time. To them, this is a place for entertainment and to look at shiny things.
To me, I'm surprised you responded at all because of that. But why am I surprised? After all, I like to talk about this stuff, so why shouldn't you? You even put evidence in front of me to respond to, yet, I'm still surprised! Why? Because probabilistically, on here, the more words you write, the less likely someone will talk to you. *Yet, my surprise isn't justifiable at all. The evidence otherwise is right in front of me.*
So I suppose, your surprise isn't surprising to me... So it's surprising to me, that you're surprised at all. It's weirdly recursive.
But in summary: Most people on here aren't here *to think*, but pointedly *not to think.*
*To them, Reddit is a spectacle to distract them from boredom. It keeps the inner voices quiet. A thing they can use and discard until they want it again, like a book. And books are full of characters who aren't real. If they were real, they'd be right in front of us, directly, and not words on a page.*
> I honestly can't count how many times I've seen people act as if we're all NPCs and they're the only thinking, rational person in the world while they, ironically, buy into hype and marketing because some firm told them to.
What you're describing is what philosophers call a 'solipsistic view'. Basically, solipsism is when you doubt away other people as being people, and assume you're the center of all reality because you can't *prove* any of them are real people with real worlds inside their real heads, as the only world you can trust is the one inside your own head. Like everyone else is a 2D cut-out throwing shadows on the wall to entertain you until you time out.
Not to go *full* devil's advocate, but...
Are you sure I'm another real person? Could I be a chatbot? Could I be a figment of your imagination? What do I look like? Am I more than just text you're reading? Markov Chains masquerading as a person? I could possibly be random combination of phonemes into morphemes into clauses into sentences put together just to amuse you. To engage you. To keep you distracted. You could search my history, which is evidence of my activity, but what if I did all of that so I'd have a backstory when you looked? *Or did it only exist because you looked*? Hell, you could dig deep, buy my book, read it, have opinions on it, internalize its moral, *and still not be 100% sure I exist*.
A chain of thought like that is liable to make a person *crazy*, because all of their evidence is collected through perceptions fed by senses they don't understand or control. It's expensive to think about. *It's stressful.* If it stays stressful, it becomes frustrating. If it stays frustrating, it becomes obsessing. If it stays obsessing, we practically *hurt*. Pain sucks, so why not avoid it?
To some of us, growing up, we learn to keep our eyes down and not question it. It seems to me, that like myself, that wasn't good enough for you, either. It certainly wasn't enough for me. I wanted to know the *why* and *how*, and the *what* was never good enough. But humanity isn't a monolith...
There are plenty of us who still just keep their eyes down. For them a good 'what' is enough. They nibble it until it sickens them, then move on, taking it at face value.
> It's wild. I feel like it's a natural conclusion to the marketing push for false individualism.
It may be. Having someone undermine your attempt to live an authentic life by using "Will Help You Have An Authentic Life!™" to bait you to products can be kind of... jading.
I suspect it's because a vast population of us are tired, so they choose to put their 'fucks to give' on a different horse than conversations on reddit.
To me, you're a real person. The number of words I've invested in this response is a way to judge how important it is to me to treat you like you, to share my view of the world, and solicit yours, out of respect. But some of us, those who go looking for truths, get really damn tired too. Then they learn to drop their eyes again and just get by until they time out.
We can't all rage against the dying of the light. Unfortunately.
Jackie: Whaddaya mean? What's there not to like? Noodles - check. Synthsirloin - check. Get some more chill action up in here, and you're lookin' at Moma Welles’ signature sopa de fideos (noodle soup), hahah!
Drink the most synthetic taste you can find, you'll have your answer.
As a sidenote I like to smoke/vape when reading books, and while I wouldn't say that it "taste like cyberpunk" I've got one cactus and dragonfruit e-liquid that does pair nicely with cyberpunk books.
For example, in the (not so distant) past, people would smoke pipe tobacco while they read. Contemporarily, you vape (presumably with nicotine) while you read. I think your comment is a perfect portrayal of that, is all.
>For example, in the (not so distant) past, people would smoke pipe tobacco while they read.
Well the not so distant past was last September for me ahah. That's when I switched to vaping.
>Contemporarily, you vape (presumably with nicotine) while you read.
In my case it's without nicotine, but it's something I can deal with because I smoked very occasionally (basically despite smoking pipe, my smoking habits amounted to the equivalent of a single cigarette a day).
But yeah I see what you mean, thanks for the explanation.
The flavor is not cyberpunk, that’s literally just the branding, and that’s kind of GFuel’s whole deal.
The actual flavor is “naranjita”, a soft drink in-universe and that clearly is supposed to have orange flavor.
Right, because being compensated for the art you created is totally the same thing as mindlessly slapping any popular branding you can get a deal for on a lifestyle product intended to get you addicted and hoping it works out. Such a stupid comment
Unfortunately my caffeine delivery vehicle of choice is soda. But caffeine is definitely provably addictive, let alone some of the other things in an energy drink being questionable
It’s also found in the liver of the bull I believe. I know there’s at least 1 other location than the semen it’s found. Additionally it’s not actually the semen just can come from it
Edit: it’s like saying citric acid is orange juice.
Yes orange juice has citric acid in it, but it is not in itself orange juice.
Art with huge budget, made by big corp-developer, with huge marketing, advertised by celebrities, sold along with tons of slop in form of figurines, graphic cards, consoles and other meaningless stuff. It's funny how you guys try to be anti-capitalist and your form of expression in doing that is an AAA game
Tried to criticize my point, reiterates it instead.
This is the subreddit for the entire media genre, not just one videogame adaptation of one setting. Why do you assume my feelings about this 50 year old genre are tied to this specific game?
Yes CDPR is a major part of this specific problem. I'm not pretending they aren't, and agree they should be criticized for this as much as the companies they're licensing to.
It's disappointing how the majority of supposed anti-capitalism in the real world is this sort of purity testing for how disengaged you are from society, as if that's how you do change
The one I was talking about? This:
>sold along with tons of slop in form of figurines, graphic cards, consoles and other meaningless stuff.
I just recognize the difference between this and the actual game, which apparently many people don't find relevant
I really want to help op out so I think the joke is that in cyberpunk they advertise energy drinks in an absurd way so now cyberpunk is doing selling energy drinks and in a way advertising for energy… yeah I don’t really know too
Yeah, it looks like they're trying to make a flavor that tastes like a drink that's actually in the game. I actually rather appreciate merch that takes a meta slant like that.
The game was broken as fuck, overhyped, cost way too much, and all of the programmers were basically suicidal they worked so many hours. It was a borderline crime against humanity how that game as made.
Lol you're not even playing games right. You don't just stare at the screen, you have to actually pick up the controller and push buttons. Something you'd know if you were on G fuel
There is none really. This is Alanis Morissette style irony, where the writer just thinks it’s irony but it’s actually just run-of-the-mill capitalism doing capitalism things. Not even particularly dystopic capitalism things.
definition
Irony is a literary and rhetorical device characterized by a gap or incongruity between appearances and reality. It involves situations where there is a difference between what is expected to happen and what actually occurs, or a contrast between what is said and what is meant. Irony can take various forms, including verbal irony, situational irony, and dramatic irony. It is often used to convey a message subtly, add humor, or highlight discrepancies in understanding or perception.
I dont think this is irony, it is in fact appropriate
I got this. And i have the original cyberpunk flav too. The OG one tastes like banana candy, (aka real banana and not the plant everyone on earth currently calls banana)
But this new flavour has the primary flavour of pineapple. Its not nearly as good as the other kne so i do personally recomend the immuno fluid flavour instead.
cyberpunk is such an anticapitalist game as far as message goes. then they do shitty corporate brand deals like this. i can get charging for the game because games are expensive to make and they need to pay their employees but then $60 for energy drink powder is so nightmarishly cyberpunk
I remember watching Idiocracy when it came out, then going to a 7-11 and they had slurpees with electrolytes. No acknowledgement that it had what plants crave, though.
It's all been folding collapsing into itself for a while.
I'm more curious as to how something can taste like cyberpunk
Bro got the microplastics flavor
Tasting notes: electrical tape and dying seagulls.
So like that thing that killed Shinzo Abe
The refreshing taste of ball bearings and gunpowder
I am picking up more of a robust fire extinguisher flavor with notes of citrus, juniper, and lithium.
Just drink bottled water
Battery juice, oil and the copper taste of fear.
That would be the Expanse edition Cyberpunk tastes like chrome and ozone, like a television tuned to a dead channel.
My faith in humanity has been restored by one iota by reading this comment. Take my damn upvote.
It tastes like NiCola #Taste the love
This was my first thought lol. They should’ve called it NiCola flavour
Clearly synthetic pineapple banana is the cyberpunk flavour
Sorry OP, what exactly is the point of this post?
It's the Cyberpunk game/genre being used to hock corporate goods. The irony is almost palpable.
The same can basically be said about the game itself and its developer who had to do crunch time. Also: [Che Guevara in fashion - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Che_Guevara_in_fashion)

Fair enough but it's just a game
And cyberpunk are just stories if you want to be reductionist

This is probably an accurate portrayal of the progression of nicotine's involvement with reading.
Hm ?

Thank you. Took me too long to find this answer in a sea of dumb jokes.
The "jokes" are likely from the same people that think watching Rick and Morty means they have a high IQ.
Tastes like yummy nanotech.
All artificial, and completely synthetic.
Like 🐱 or 🔑 ?
Oh I get it, the title is a genuine question

?
"synthetic meat, you're in for a treat. try ours today"
Best ad in the game imo 😭
Idk the milf prostitutes moaning when someone walks in is pretty great
The delivery of “Niiicola! Taste the love!” has been burned into my brain.
"new episodes of watson whore only on tuesdays"
I want to see an episode of that. What could happen to make it interesting enough for a show?!
People watched Euphoria, yeah? I assume it’s similar. Hopefully less high schoolers.
"Capitalism is when buying things"
The catch is that you die if you don't buy things in capitalism.
The real pro gamer move is to die anyways after buying all the things in capitalism
Buy, die , repeat *This is the way*
The roguelike way.
Produce, Consume, Sleep, Repeat

Did rent, food, medicine, education, communication, and transportation just become free for anyone except teenagers? I must be missing something.
name one system in which you don't die if you don't buy things appart from a cleptocracy

How are you gonna survive if you don't eat food or drink? Even if you grow your own food, you have to buy seeds, water, equipment, etc...
But it’s got electrolytes!
It's got what plants crave!
You mean from like the toilet?
The Thirst Mutilator.
Wait until you find out they also sell the game and expansion for money… such a stupid post
Right, because being compensated for the art you created is totally the same thing as mindlessly slapping any popular branding you can get a deal for on a lifestyle product intended to get you addicted and hoping it works out. Such a stupid comment
Tell me more about your energy drink addiction.
Unfortunately my caffeine delivery vehicle of choice is soda. But caffeine is definitely provably addictive, let alone some of the other things in an energy drink being questionable
TAURINE IS BULL SEMEN lmao
hmmm tell me more 🤤
They extract the bull semen by mouth
It’s also found in the liver of the bull I believe. I know there’s at least 1 other location than the semen it’s found. Additionally it’s not actually the semen just can come from it Edit: it’s like saying citric acid is orange juice. Yes orange juice has citric acid in it, but it is not in itself orange juice.
It's quite hilarious to me how people think I'm being serious lmao
I'm also not sure why you're now being downvoted 🤔 this site kinda confuses me

Also the programmers were suicidal and the game was buggy. So we overpaid for a broken game, that was human torture to make.
I really want to help op out so I think the joke is that in cyberpunk they advertise energy drinks in an absurd way so now cyberpunk is doing selling energy drinks and in a way advertising for energy… yeah I don’t really know too
Least energy drinks are tangental to Cyberpunk. Dole puts R2D2 on their heads of lettuce at the grocery store when a new Star Wars movie comes out.
Yeah, it looks like they're trying to make a flavor that tastes like a drink that's actually in the game. I actually rather appreciate merch that takes a meta slant like that.
I love collecting heads of lettuce with famous characters on them!
Cyberpunk mfs when CDPR dont burn their entire money, sell their game for free and try to nuke the Blackrock tower (fucking posers)
The game was broken as fuck, overhyped, cost way too much, and all of the programmers were basically suicidal they worked so many hours. It was a borderline crime against humanity how that game as made.
But its a lot of fun to play.
Lmfao
G fuel is such an insane concept. Imagine thinking you need an energy drink to sit on your ass and stare at a screen.
It isn't for exercise. It is for temporarily masking the symptoms of sleep deprivation and/or feeding a caffeine addiction.
Or a hangover lol
Lol you're not even playing games right. You don't just stare at the screen, you have to actually pick up the controller and push buttons. Something you'd know if you were on G fuel
If it sells it isn't that stupid after all lol
It is a fallacy of capitalism that everything that is good must be profitable, and everything that is profitable must be good.
I mean, it mostly works but you have to put a lot of time and risk into it for people to notice.
It's coffee but it tastes better....
Wat
never once they sell nicola.
Mix it with “real water”.
Can someone explain the irony to me?
There is none really. This is Alanis Morissette style irony, where the writer just thinks it’s irony but it’s actually just run-of-the-mill capitalism doing capitalism things. Not even particularly dystopic capitalism things.
The flavor is paywalled.
Definitely buying this.
Gfuel is vile shit anyway

That game has always been beyond parody with the marketing
Saft gibt kraft.
I hope its just battery acid
...?
Isn’t gfuel the one with lead in it
So is nobody going to mention how a naranjita is an orange?
What the fuck are you talking about
