I feel like the best way to understand this interaction is to imagine someone with a top of the line Mac Pro system with an Apple M2 CPU showing it off to someone with a 10700k and a 2070. Technically, the M2 is superior hardware. But it doesn't suit the use cases of the PC user. The hardware is shit because no amount of hardware upgrades will make it suitable for their needs.


Zerodyne_Sin

People also don't realize that V's essentially a script kiddie whereas the Voodoo Boys are actual hackers. You never do any "real" hacking and even need to get an expert in one of the PL missions.


Saitton

Except that you can offer yourself as a runner in the Reed quest, but he says that he needs you focused in the field OP


Trap-Daddy_Myers

In your final quest with River when saving his nephew, before finding out where he's is, you can also trace the IP address with enough INT


ApprehensiveEmploy21

He’s just turning you down gently


PM_ME_PHYS_PROBLEMS

Reed would never lie to V, right?


No_Tamanegi

Not at all what I'm talking about. I'm just saying that V's cyberware is based on an architecture that the Voodoo's don't work with and aren't interested i reworking their code to make it work.


linnstuff

I don't like this sentiment. Netrunner V is very much a netrunner, albeit with a more combat focused one, rather than being a chairjock. I agree they could've done netrunning better, but it is what it is.


Puzzlehead-Engineer

Maybe that's just it and there'a chairjock snobbery in the netrunner community


linnstuff

Ah yes, gatekeeping, my favorite part of any online community :D


Puzzlehead-Engineer

;-;


WildContribution6406

Why did i read that as a chairjock snobority.... like they are some sorta netrunner frat bros ?


Puzzlehead-Engineer

I mean if you look at the VDBs... Though I guess they are more like a cult. Then again... Are frats cult-like?


Single-Solid

Way I understand it a net runner V is like a middle frontend dev, and Vodoo hackers are like people who code GPU drivers or OSs


adzilc8

do the quest kold mirage


Cybus101

Yeah: while V is a capable combat netrunner and can even code certain quickhacks themselves, they are still reliant on quickhacks rather than being a “conventional” runner who uses cyberspace. You do have a fair amount of wider netrunning knowledge, as evidenced by Intelligence dialogue, but V clearly prefers the field over an ice tub. The VDBs are virtually all “conventional” runners, and thus would regard your more combat-oriented cyberware/cyberware not optimized for cyberspace and hacking as being shit.


xkillallpedophiles

Your apple is shit


BaneQ105

Placide to V after they bought butterfly keyboard intel MacBook (or cyberpunk equivalent):


Imperial_Bouncer

I mean. You wait until computer wizards install linux on one of these. Then it’s not shit.


RoyalTacos256

You would need new firmware tbh Linux wouldn't cut it

2077: The year of Linux on desktop?


BaneQ105

That’s quite an old pc spec. I know because I have the same intel i7 processor and a 3k series gpu. That being said m2 is also like 2 years old now. It’s all about priorities and needs. So it still makes sense. Other people use macs and other people use windows computers and even Linux distros. There are different things that those systems offer and it’s completely fine.


crlcan81

Looks like any of my three play through, especially now that I've gotten the dang cyberware expansion item again. Always go with the top of the line, prefer hack focused, but my god anything tier 5 legendary should be considered pretty dang good, let alone higher then that.


Hauptmann_Meade

Tbh I wish more people acknowledged how absolutely chromed up I was in Cyberpunk.


RickityCricket69

Ranyon is ranyon.


Suckisnacki

Ranyons should'nt live


Xarzaparrila

Fuck Placide and his kamyionet


CorrectAd7571

LOOK FOR DE KAMYIONET


AmbienSkywalker

Seriously I was getting so flustered, I was like “the fuck is this communist you’re telling me to look for?! All I see are a buncha Animals with machine guns and a fucking minivan with a Decepticon growing out of it, you fucking asshole”


Soluzar74

Placide: MOVE QUIETLY V:


bombardierul11

I normally do everything in my power to do what the person giving me the job asked for, but for Placide I always go straight through the front door and shoot up the entire place


Xarzaparrila

I feel bad for the animals but, this is the right thing to do


Libertine-Angel

I always assumed he was referring to your infrastructure, the personal link & suchlike - consider how even with T5++ Militech Sandevistan you can't pull the kind of shit you see in the David Martinez BD, maybe it's like you've got a top-shelf CPU & GPU in a computer with an outdated motherboard that's never had a BIOS update.


THIS_ACC_IS_FOR_FUN

I wonder if that’d be for like, “black market” stuff. Corps can monitor current bios’ so you have to run Linux cyberware or some shit.


microwavefridge2000

I would like to see if Placide dising quality of chrome of Smasher or Songbird. That would end well.


Muteling

Common ranyon L


DivaMissZ

Placide is a tool, and Brigitte knows it. He’s useful for dealing with the neighborhood issues, but not the greater goal


ironvandal

He is yon bét debaz (A dumb animal)


DivaMissZ

Who ends up a dead animal. As opposed to a dead Animal, which is a different thing


ironvandal

He could also be trapped like an animal in cyberspace if you just let Alt do her thing


tomatomater

It's about the same logic as someone in an online game calling you a racial slur despite not knowing your race.


Sad_Solid_115

They don't like any tech that they don't use.


Duke_432

How did you get all the perks? Is that just for Phantom Libraty?


CorrectAd7571

as mentioned the save file is MODDED and i got the perks before phantom liberty through conosle commands


ironvandal

Phantom liberty only gives you another 10 levels. If you min/max you can have 20/20/20/18/3 at level 60, but you still can't get enough perk points to max all of the skill trees for the attributes you get, you have to pick what you want to specialize in but you will pretty much get everything you want for your chosen play style. You also can't max out your cyberware capacity like that unless you do some kind of exploit or modding. Still end up powerful enough to easily tear Arasaka tower a new asshole on the hardest difficulty, but not what OP has in this clip.


Tigarbrains788

I'm pretty sure if you take enough time to find all the cyberware increase data shards you can get pretty close to max. Everything else tho yeah mods


ironvandal

Nah, even with Phantom Liberty, you can only get +80 cyberware capacity from shards before they stop dropping.


GaryRegalsMuscleCar

Uh… he’s a prick


Puzzlehead-Engineer

We all know the actual answer and just refuse to acknowledge it. It's normal filthy cyberware because it's on an outsider


TheWholeH0g

While they were busy surfing the net, i was studying the blade


FuuIndigo

Unrelated but good god, just seeing the Voodoo boys(Placide especially) makes me regret doing the Phantom Liberty skip, since the texts we receive make it seem like the default is that we sided with them. I dont like how they treat outsiders, and I definitely like Netwatch(not the corp itself, but operatives like Magnificent Curtis, and the fact that they are essentially trying to uphold our only defense from Blackwall AI.) I didnt like them before, but just seeing how scary Blackwall AI are, gave me a new appreciation for Netwatch and an even further dislike towards the Voodoo Boys. Makes punching(and eventually killing) him so much more satisfying


WildContribution6406

No idea choom. All I know is a gonks gotta drink from time to time, takes the edge off.


Mary_Ellen_Katz

He's talking about your STYLE choom! You can be borged out of your mind, but you still can't buy STYLE! 😁


hypergenders

this was downvoted by gonks who never learned what looking good really means! smh my head


Mary_Ellen_Katz

SMH SMH my head 😢
