          Lolno, you get fricked over by the corrupt politics of your working environment sooner or later in cyberpunk.

          The closest to a normie life would be being a shop owner or something like that, just keep your head down, pay protection money, don't be a hero when you get robbed and you might get to live.

      He didn't go "Welp I'm expelled, let's start killing people"
      He got the Sandy to beat up the kid because otherwise the kid always had an advantage over him, then he made a small gig out of stealing chips with Lucy, that got him into a driver job with Maine's crew, then Pilar got flatlined by a cyberpsycho, THEN David got over his hesitation of killing. It took a lot of steps to get to that point.

      Hell he could have still chromed up but settled for reasonable levels of augmentation and took it easy. Maybe Lucy would have been less wet for him, but I bet Becky would have still creamed all over his organic wiener.

          this. The show makes quite the obvious point that David has no other escape from his life due to being trapped in his lower class. No matter how hard he or his mother tried he couldnt overcome his surroundings. He was fricked from the start and would have become one of the homeless junkies out on the corner if he hadnt decided to take action. But at least he got to go out a legend.

          He was fricked, after Arasaka noticed him and his potential.
          So he had to go all in anyway on the Edgerunner life.
          The only thing he could have done different is cutting down on the chrome and escape with Lucy after a big payday.
          But Lucy caused his death in the first place by being dishonest to him and getting captured.
          That being said, he should have cut back on the chrome, after he became psychotic and murdered the nurse.

            That was the plan. The payday for the final job was exactly enough for 2 tickets to the moon. It was too late for that to save him from Arasaka though. Lucy didn't cause his death at all.

        Yeah. That's her charm, though. Every punk dies a moronic death, except maybe Adam Smasher, but he died in a different way during the corporate wars.

        If she did nothing else, she kept he team from falling into cynicism. She survived solely because other people on her team liked her, pulled her out of her bullheaded frontal charges when she should have died countless times. So what if she wasn't great at her job. She had friends, and when her friends needed her, she never wavered and did everything in her power and beyond to help them, even when the whole plan went to shit and they found themselves in ever heaping piles of moronation.

              The moon represents freedom. Somewhere away from here. She wanted to be away from other humans as much as possible, avoid making intimate connections because she didnt want to feel the pain of losing another person again. But this changed with David entering her life. A person who showed her genuine compassion even after she tricked him. He become her moon.

I asked my friends about it and they told me it is a trope of the studio who made the show to involve the moon in some way. What the frick? There is nothing in Lucy's past or online explaining why she wants to go to the moon.

                But ok, if any of what you wrote is true, why is she living and thieving in what I would assume is the most densely populated city in the cyberpunk universe. If she wanted to avoid making connections and losing people again, why did she accept Kiwi's offer to join Maine's gang. And lastly, what do you mean by "she didn't want to feel the pain of losing another person again." She expressed wanting to go to the moon in E2, and nobody died in her past except those other coder-kids when she was young, but I doubt she could name even one of them

      Cyberpunk and arcane league of legends are traditional values mixed into a globohomosexual societies and it works well and is a possible look towards our future in real life.

      Globohomo/edomites have lost control of the narrative and no one cares about their bullshit.

      Both arcane and Cyberpunk are more reminiscent of older globohom propaganda from back in the 80s and 90s where their was diversity, but without all the gender, race and woman nonsense.

      Stargate, firefly, x files, Buffy the vampire slayer, angel, star trek are ALL globohomosexual but they actually put effort into getting people to watch them back in those days.

      After they dumbed down these zoomer generarions they figured they could just force feed them with virtue signaling, but zommers have such short attention spans that they incapable of commitments towards anything and are to mentally compromised to commit to anything for long periods of time like thr generations before them

        HE HAD ATLEAST £1MILLION EDDIES IN SAVINGS AND THE MOON IS 250K A TICKET WHY DIDNT HE TAKE LUCY TO THE MOON?

        HE STRAIGHT UP LIED ABOUT DOING IT.
        The show gets worse after the Main cyberosychosis. Lucy gets completely ruined. From this confident if mysterious woman to some shy timid b***h.
        Why the frick is she even with David? He doesn't do anything to deserve her after he fricked her

          He didn't. Hyperinflation isn't that big an issue in Night City, the cost of living is theoretically low because the standards of living are also very low. A month's pay for anyone decently competent is a month's rent, a car, and a belt-fed light machine gun. The costs rack up from poor healthcare (because you will be shot at least twice a week - either on purpose or because of stray gunfire, you will also get sick from the awful air because the entire city is horribly polluted, etc).
          This means he didn't need to make much to live "well" by merc standards. Plus he was pouring anything that wasn't in the moon piggy bank RIGHT into his chrome. He literally resculpted himself into Mini-Maine, and that's where shit gets expensive.

        I thought it was about him "running" on a road, because he was an Edgerunner.You can also see how the road ended, when Maine was in his psychosis. The road literally ended in the dessert, where he burried Dorio.
        That is also why he told David to keep running, because his life as an edgerunner wasn't over.

        It's not the body parts themselves that are cursed. It's that mental illness combines with grafting metal on yourself and it can give you even worse mental illness until you snap. Someone can snap from just having 1 implant.

          It's based on your Humanity stat, which is derived from your Empathy. Cyberpsychosis is described by Mike Pondsmith himself to be akin to roid rage - when the substance abuse overwhelms you and drives you out of control, and if that tends to lead you to violence that's where it goes.

    Why the frick did Lucy want to go to the moon in the first place? I remember in E2 Lucy sperging out at David when he said something about a poster of the moon for some reason. I asked my friends about it and they told me it is a trope of the studio who made the show to involve the moon in some way. What the frick? There is nothing in Lucy's past or online explaining why she wants to go to the moon.

      Lunar colonies exist in Cyberpunk. Martian ones too. They function very differently from the major urban centers on Earth, especially Night City. It is a very common goal in the Cyberpunk setting to want to get the frick out of there and be somewhere significantly less terrible. The issue is you can't just walk out - a vast majority of the continent is wasteland shitholes full of trash, radiation, and crackhead cyborg bandits. A ship off-planet is the only surefire way to get out.

    I still have the last episode to go but I am sorely disappointed in the gremlin woman. People said she was the best girl in anime.
    She's alright and I enjoyed her attempts to get David's attention but man, did people not over exaggerate?

    Like there was a whole trend thing of people talking about how she held the gun at the door, like people made a tutorial for it.
    I assumed she taught David to hold a gun that way to seem big and intimidating but it was... nothing

      Because he was an amateur and teenager who never properly learned. You only learn that stuff through education by academics or by real experience - of which he had neither, and he never needed experience because of his crew.
      >and yet when his gf, his first mate and the doc tell him to lay off the chrome he doesn't??
      Chrome's a drug, effectively. Or more appropriately, you get hooked on the dopamine rush of becoming more powerful with your implants. It's one of the first steps towards Cyberpsychosis. Combine it with his innate resilience towards his Sandevistan and he thought he was special.
      >David doesn't care for his mother's dream at all but is obsessed with maine when maine barely had one, and certainly didn't push David into it
      His mother's dream was for him to be at the top of Arasaka Tower, which is what pushes him towards the latter half of the show, particularly the final episode. Maine's dream was "Get out of Night City," which he also was fixated on because...
      >could have quit a millionaire a dozen times, chooses not too
      Rent in NC is comparatively cheap - just very obligatory and strict. Plus he likely had of a lot of amenities via the gang and his fixers instead of hard eddies. He saved up what he could to afford two tickets to the moon.
      >and the protag has godspeed hax
      Sandevistans are canon to the original tabletop - on paper they just give you +4 to your initiative effectively, but they're explicitly written as giving you superhuman speed and reflexes.
      >Lucy stays with him after the incident despite everyone acting like Lucy is some shadow figure, what the frick do they even talk about
      As seen in the post-timeskip, they don't. They have short heart to hearts and frick but that's about it because Lucy's busy hunting down the survivors from the Netrunner group she grew up in. It's explicitly a problem that they argue about.

      Stop speedwatching.

        See this is fine BUT then the show has wasted time and made up fake characteristics for the protagonist. He is only a brilliant student so we feel bad for him not being accepted but like the blue haired c**t said, nobody would care if he just did his shit properly.
        That's besides the point. Point is they wasted time showing us he is a techy prodigy but then it never comes up.

          Like I said, he was certain he was special. No one ever managed to prove otherwise to him - even when JK was trying to break him, he still managed to stay lucid (at least from what we're led to believe), which more than definitely amplified his believe that he was special and able to take that punishment. Like I said, it's steroids.
          If you think you're immune to the downsides because of some inexplicable trait - you're addicted already and you don't even know it. I have met cherry-faced, balloon-stomached alcoholics who have seen their friends die at the counter and still kept pounding them away because they felt they "weren't gonna die that way" or some other nebulous excuse. And you probably know (or at least a step or two away from knowing) people in similar situations.

    Rebecca dying while lucy and the driver were like 2 feet away and survived is a bit silly. Adam could've 100% just pointed a gun at lucy and finish it no problem.

    David had to die since the alternative was being lab rat for arasaka, and that was a scenario lucy escaped and his efforts were about freeing her from that fate for good.

    He was kinda moronic though. He had no purpose in life and decided to be a scummy merc. He could have abandoned this, especially in the later episodes as he was rich and extremely powerful but he decided it was better killing himself as a cyberpsycho. I suppose that’s the tragedy of it.
