I like that Maximum Mike directly references the fact that Johnny is an unreliable narrator. Originally, Morgan Blackhand was the one to lead the team of mercs and the one to be left behind as the nuke went off fighting Adam Smasher on top of Saka Tower. Johnny literally wrote Morgan out of his memories.

Well, there was 3 group of solo, to be correct. And, this is correct, one of them was lead by Morgan. Johnny was at group 2, and was killed by Smasher inside Tower. But, he gave a chance to his team to survive. P.S And that was Militech operation.

I think the most important part of it is that Johnny talks about doing it like it was a rebellious thing to get back at the system that he was barely able to pull off, but in reality he did it as a member of a highly paid and highly skilled mercenary company run by Morgan Blackhand and owned by Militech and also did it under direct order from Militech to plant 1 of 3 nukes in Arasaka Tower, he probably hates Corporations as much as he says but in that instance he was actually being paid by Militech to plant multiple Nukes in their competitions headquarters

another theory is that the Relic losing stability (or whatever it was) altered some of Johnny’s memories, and the Relic also may have been damaged when Jackie bit the dust. That’s just a theory however.

Can we stop to appreciate just how nice Mike's voice sounds? Like, it's genuinely relaxing to hear him talk.

I love how he has all these insane things that he says about the most mundane of incidents, meanwhile for the pre-war AI that runs a taxi company, he just goes "Eh, probably just forgot to maintain em'."

GMs going to run the new 2077 table top game coming here doing the spongebob meme. "WRITE THAT DOWN, RIGHT THAT DOWN!!"

Mike playing as a tinfoiler while saying the actual lore he created is 10 levels of mindfuck. You dont know if you want to brush off the conspiracy theory then you remember he’s the creator of this universe.

Lots of easter eggs throughout all of this from the original Cyberpunk 2020 RPG and onward. Some of the obvious bits. Morgan Blackhand was Pondsmith's "signature character" representing the Solo class in many of scenarios for the original campaign/stories. That doesn't mean played by Mike. But rather cherished by Mike for what the Best of a Solo could be when going in a certain direction. Maximum Mike was in many ways a narrative tool in the original campaign/stories as well as a "secondary" recurring NPC; much like Ripper Jack (from many of the original books) The Bozos were one of the original gangs in the RPG and had a rivalry with the Voodoo Boys (who were VASTLY different at that point) In the "first Net" many corporations, agencies, and individuals were working on AIs with varying degrees of success. The 4th Corporate War, where Silverhand falls, originally had Johnny (among others) gibbed by Smasher. As in, if I remember the description, effectively shot in half. - sidenote: By this point, Smasher was essentially an Arasaka Full Conversion Borg, custom Dragoon. What you see in EdgeRunner does NOT do him justice and in '77 by all rights, V should have fallen, easily, at the end of the main story. - Morgan eventually squares up with Smasher as Smasher effectively gives no choice to solve the one-sided rivalry and question of: Meat v Metal. Both fall (MIA) During the 4th War, Rache Bartmoss' meat is rendered moot... it is unclear if he "survived" through his own work, Alt intervention (via SoulKiller), or there is a construct (his or something else emulating him) that persists. Post Krash, AIs are destroyed, divided, consumed, and born regularly on the other side of the Black Wall. Those kids referred to with the rumored weird abilities? Survivors of the Carbon Plague and a spinoff of the "Ended" 2020 story arc in an RPG called "CyberGen". Alt, or a fragment of her, has a role to play in that too.

This is my absolute favorite station. I love the story about the Werewolves

0:00 - 1:45 after that Lilith AI/ Daemon cyberpsycho encounter, the final moments of Phantom of Liberty with Songbird blackwall abilities and the fact that the author of the franchise himself is narrating this, is super plausible that "Conspiracy" theory is true, Bartmoss discovered hell and opened its doors. One of the reasons why highly supersticious gangs like the voodo boys are scared and willing to contact AI's beyond the blackwall first to get protection before it crumbles, they know whats coming. Next Cyberpunk main theme probably is going to get a lot more different and interesting, a meeting between the paranormal and the digital

This is so IMMERSIVE, I played this while playing Cyberpunk (as my Netrunner build, hitting gonks with BLACKWALL gateway)... I need more of this.

Daemon is the IRL technical term for a class of programs on Unix or Linux type operating systems. Daemons continuously run in the background and perform some kind of specific task or service to the system or user. For example, the printer daemon constantly monitors for print jobs sent from other programs and then sends them on to a printer. It's the general equivalent of a "Service" on Microsoft Windows operating systems.

@@ChiefSmackahoLLC To build on this, in mythology Daemons were spirits or minor gods that served as intermediaries between the gods and humanity. They're effectively the functional "background processes" of reality. The term as applied to computing came from Maxwell's Demon, a thought experiment along the lines of Schrödinger's Cat that posited a fictional demon that could open and close a door to separate individual particles into fast-moving and slow-moving chambers.

So the man behind Night City, known as Richard Night, bought and leveled what was left of the town to literally construct Night City over its remains.

@@christophercosta4436 I'm aware of it, but never awake when they live broadcast.

It ain’t conspiracy if it’s the truth 🤫😂

Don’t know if it’s just an issue with my save file or just the ps5 version of the game but the radio hosts NEVER talk after the 2.0 update, I heard ash once or twice but zero mike in my entire 80 hours of 2.0 + PL :(

Saburo using a ‘Sarcophagus’ to stay alive is deff a nod to Stargate SG1. Has to be.

I really wish that someone would make something like this but under this premise. Zombie apocalypse survivor starts a late night radio show; just telling stories and talking late into the night, not even sure if anyone can hear him - but still he talks. He keeps going because he hopes that his voice helps some survivors not feel quite so lonely, and it gives him something to live for. With that mid-2000s radio sound, just someone to keep you company through the dark and dangerous nights. Alan Wake almost has something like this but I haven't quite found something to scratch that itch! I love listening to this as I fall asleep though. I also put on a thunderstorm/rain loop to really give it a nice atmospheric feeling as I go to sleep.

I love that Mike is right about a lot of things but wrong about others, like Saburo being dead, but then again in the Devil ending it would look like he was right all along. It goes to show that there is no absolute truth in the world, and even the most well intentioned of truth seekers get it wrong sometimes. It's easy to point at the corpos and just call them evil, but it's just not that easy.

Mike said, he don't believe to Saburo death.

Mikey always reminded me of three dog from fallout 3, minus the annoying ass voice.
