IT’S NOT ‘PEEKED’ MY INTEREST

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.

Let me drown in the void

finally a bath bomb to match my soul and wardrobe 

My attempt at a cyberpunk 2077 iceberg is complete. I’ve tried to focus on (confirmed) cut content, easter eggs and lesser-known trivia. I know that the lowest tier is usually used for creepypastas and making shit up, but my main goal was to share some trivia and such. I’m 100% sure I’ve forgotten about something, but I was running out of space anyway 😅. These icebergs are highly subjective, so it’s possible that something that’s common knowledge to you is near the bottom, while a new thing to you is at the top. Entries written in italics are fan theories/unconfirmed. Explanations for all entries under the cut:

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!

There’s not enough space to post all of them, SO here’s links to everything he has posted (on twitter) so far : 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12. 

Now that new semesters have started, I thought people might need these. Enjoy your lessons!

Heya, people of the Cyberpunk modding community, it’s your girl again...

I’ve been having this issue for a while, but I don’t know how to resolve it. See this picture above? Yeah, that’s my female V being swapped with Alt, I’m sure you’ve seen plenty of people screenshotting/GIFfing this part.

So you can see my problem here. The clipping/glitching hair which ruins the mood 100%. The hair is a mod, I dunno if that’s the reason behind the glitch.

I also used to have the invisible V swap problem, but I found a mod to resolve it, but now I have this little problem, which I would very much have some help on, if there’s even someone who reads this.

So, if anyone has some knowledge and feels like being generous, please help T_T

Oh, in my opinion I’m almost sure it could happen! Wasn’t there one of Mike Pondsmith’s radio cameo talking about that sort of thing?? Like there was a corporation, can’t remember which one though, that was already able to restore a body or something like that.

Though I do wonder mostly why they, Arasaka (since the prototype was supposed to say in-house from what says Hellman), would have Johnny’s construct on the prototype chip. From this, I agree with lots of fic writers that Johnny’s body is not even in the oil fields, but was kept in cryochambers hidden away from public eye. 

i have ,,,,,,,, an idea.
