Pondsmith, the creator of Cyberpunk, specified exactly what causes cyberpsychosis, in one of reddit threads.
In short, it's the combination of past and current trauma, addiction to modification, and detachment from reality. And the going psycho he described as gym bro going into roid rage.
He seems like a cool guy. Met him at GenCon the one time I went (late 90's). We chatted until I had to scoot & I had more fun talkin' w/him than I ever would've thought.
Originally in the 2020 pen and paper game it was supposed to be mind control, but because it was corpos doing it in the lore the publishers thought that was to anti capitalist so they changed it. 2020 was published in the 80s near the end of the cold war so that would explain why the game hints at it becoming a future plot twist.
The best way i've heard someone describe Adam Smasher is "You can't go cyberpsycho if you're already regular psycho."
In my headcanon cyberpsychosis is something that can be cured, but it's very expensive, so it's very inaccessible for all but the wealthiest.
Also in my headcanon, the reason why Adam Smasher isn't going out of control, is because cyberpsychosis is your human parts rejecting the machine parts, but Adam Smasher is like 99% machine(so there's less anything "human" left in him to reject the implants), and as he's Arasaka's favorite tool, he's also getting top of the line meds and therapies to keep him somewhat sane.
Exactly. That's why he's completely immune to cyberpsychosis. He was already a psychopath before he even got a single piece of chrome.
would explain why so many of the Maelstrom boys seem to still have a few screws left in their domes.
Close second for me is “his empathy score out of 10 is ‘yeah right’”
“You can’t be a psycho when your already a psycho. You can’t be a DOUBLE psycho, stupid.”
I think its funny that matpats theory is literally said in the game cut and dry which makes me believe someone on the team literally played the game found the shards with the lore and was like you know what lets make this a film theory episode
He mentioned it
@@thetruestar6348 and so history repeats itself
@@thetruestar6348 your point
@@insanitysymphony9175 You know your character that you use for your profile what is it?
@@hybridvenom9 yeah why?
As people have pointed out in the comments, the “theory” existed before edgerunners. It’s implied in the game (and I think in the rpg before that) that the idea of cyberpsycosis is a creation of the mega corps to avoid having to help the people affected by it, just saying that they are unsaveable. It’s not done by the corporations themselves, but they prefer to not have to help them
So what you're saying is that his theories aren't original?! No, get out! (Sarcasm)
@@weegee9072 that's not what the comment said at all like not even a little
@@weegee9072 bro every fucking theory that exist in any game,film,anime,etc.is no original,do people dont now this?
It was confirmed by the writers on Reddit. It’s just regular mental health issues due to a decaying society
It's a 'theory' only in the actual game world setting. On a 'player knowledge' level, it's always been really clear that that IS NOT what it is, as they laid out the system for Cyberpsychosis and it had nothing to do with debt or pissing off Corpos. It was never actually a theory OUTSIDE the setting. The people walking around Night City might think this, the players controlling them at the tabletop session....don't. They know better.
I played the game 5 times by now and went through the Cyberpsycho questline just as many times.
And from that I can say:
It's never really been about the cyberware. Almost all of them had something else going on in their brain, like PTSD, drug addiction (or like in Maine's case cyberware addiction) or some other form of trauma.
To my mind the cyberware just acts as a catalyst for psychosis because of the strain it puts on your nervous system.
The only two cases in the game that I can remember where it was just cyberware causing the psychosis were:
1. A soldier suffering from an implant malfunction (with her fear of what was happening to her body probably being the thing that sent her over the edge).
2. A construction worker hooking up to an exoskeleton that was way too heavy duty for him and overloaded his nervous system.
In all other cases there was something else going on besides cyberaugmentation.
As to why Adam Smasher is seemingly immune to cyberpsychosis, I think there are two reasons:
1. He is already completely unhinged and psychotic (he canonically only accepts a job when "collateral damage" is acceptable to his employer)
2. He underwent full body conversion, which means he no longer has an organic body that could struggle with cyberware but is instead just a brain in a jar piloting a mech suit. The cyberware IS his body now.
And about the Cyberpsychosis quickhack, here is my take on it.
It essentially does to a human what the exoskeleton did to that construction worker I mentioned earlier. I think it just overloads their system and sends them into a momentary frenzy where they just attack everyone around them.
It's not true cyberpsychosis.
I think you've really got it. The quick hack especially, it's a nickname for an offensive program sold as a product by and to Netrunners in the same way you have hacks called Short Circuit or Contagion.
The funny part is that both of these people only have at most half of the information on the lore. The TTRPGs literally have a mechanic for how much cyberware someone can take before going cyberpsycho. Smasher was already a cold blooded murderer before he had any metal put into him, so any further dissociating would have been redundant. V can't go cyberpsycho because of silverhand's mind was also inhabiting their body (that or rushed development). Also the way cyberpsychosis is portrayed in edgerunners is not how all cases of it go in the rest ofbthe universe.
Cyberpsychosis has always been inconsistent
Think of silverhand as a virus which rewrites anything and everything it comes across. If any cyberpsychosis were to appear, silverhand chip would rewrite it immediately as it slowly rewrites V's mind too.
Wrong. With your silly theory what stops corps picking up psycho killers off street and turning them into borgs like smasher. Night city is full of them. If IT is so easy we would have millions smasher working for corporations
Honestly the reason why V isn’t a cyberpsycho is because of Johnny and do to that V is able to bypass cyberpsychosis, if V didn’t have the chip implanted in them then most likely they had a 50% chance of being a cyberpsycho depending on your lifepath.🤔🐱
Id say V being a literal walking talking corpse also helps with not going psycho. Also V canonicaly doesnt chrome up nearly as much as the average players
If cyberpsychosis is a mental thing, V literally has Johnnys mind as a backup to split the mental load. Johnny only had the hand when he was alive so V could technically get double the implants anyone has before going psycho. But despite that, he is literally dying from the chip so he probably doesn’t care if he were to go psycho or not from implants as Johnny would take the body anyways.
One point yes Cyberpunk EdgeRunners is canon to Cyberpunk 2077 it canonically takes place a year before the video game. In fact fun fact before the anime came out there was a EdgeRunners update for the game that actually spoiled the ending to the anime with a drink name the David Martinez appearing in the After life bar in Night City whre legends in Night City get drinks named after them you can also even find Rebecca's guns in the game now so yes EdgeRunners is full on canon to the world of the game. Also the whole therory about something going on with Mr. blue Eye's is accurate as well as actually there has been ad of yet a huge unsolved mystery in Night City since the game came out.
The David Martinez was actually in the game before the Edgerunners update. I wasn't in the game at launch, but it was added in a update before the Edgerunners update. There were a few theories going around about it at the time, but most people didn't even notice it was added.
3:42 Nux predicted the plot again.
Kind of want to replay Cyperpunk again. I only beat it once. My theory is Adam Smasher does have cyberpsycoism; it just manifests itself in apathy and social pathic desires to prove he's the most useful.
I feel like Nux does not know much about the Cyberpunk lore
He doesn't. Pretty sure he's only seen the anime, which shows... very little of the actual lore.
Nux has watched so musc MatPat content he can guess the entire episode in only a few minutes.
6:50 it’s a prequel by the quite literally one year. The game takes place one year after the anime, and it’s been confirmed in the game that all the events from the anime are canon in the game so it’s a fair comparison with the edge runner side quest.
Besides that hearing your take I do agree that may pat probably didn’t play the full game and had someone else help him write this script, as they left out a bit that basically outright confirms this theory or at the very least canonically hints to it, at least in reference to AI being the source behind all of this:
the blue eyed man.
In the game during that quest line, before you meet the would be mayor you get a call from an unknown number that when you pick up jacks into your ciberware in your head and tries to fuck with your mind, all while warning you to stop doing what your doing to aid the would be mayor or there would be consequences.
It’s insinuated that this guy is the figure head behind this entire quest line and the mind control.
After you finish the quest v and Johnny will talk about how fucked up this entire thing is, Johnny mentioning that he doesn’t think this has to do with people though and might be more closely related to something like himself, remembering how even back in his day there we’re rumors that rogue A.Is we’re a constant threat, lingering across the net like boogie men and monsters.
Not to mention at the very end of the game when the end credits roll, you see the mayor in his anagorarion ceremony, and in the background a strange man with bright glowing blue eyes is visible in the background, hence this AI controlling night corp being referred to as the blue eyed man.
Overall I think this is one of his better theories, and you probably went a bit too hard on your discredit of what he was saying. But than again, if you don’t play the game you probably wouldn’t know this type of stuff.
He was being too hard because he's biased towards MatPat. That said, I didn't like this theory. The parts that was his own didn't make sense, and the parts that did make sense was just taken form other very well known theories.
I love that 2077 brought more attention to the series....but at the same time, it's very obvious when you're talking to someone who only knows the game/anime. The theory is awful....because we have rule books that lay this out. It's only a 'theory' in the world of Cyberpunk....it's something Garry the Prophet would think, not CohCarnage, his player. Cause Coh can read the book and knows it's actually Humanity based system, and has nothing to do with hackers and megacorps.
That said, yes the Mr Blue Eyes quest is super tied to the idea of AI and Controlling people....but has nothing to do with Cyberpsychosis. I mean, do you remember how much space and high end tech was required to work on the Peralezs....you really think they got that shit everywhere? Not enough space, and way too costly for some nobodies on the street who MIGHT become a problem later.
Nux doesn't actually know as much as he thinks about the cyberpunk lore it seems
The kinda chill song that plays when David and Lucy are on the moon is called "I want to stay at your house". That's why matpat said the show that wants to stay at your house
Cyberphsychosis could just be the fentanyl of the chrome world, a lot of gear is just tainted and since any decent hacker can use it it's just commonplace because of that.
Bro managed to fimble himself into a truth every thats into the lore has known for like ever
The “I really wanna stay at your house” thing was a reference to a song in 2077, and was the final song of the series
Cyber psychoses was added to the pen and paper game as a check on players always adding more cybernetics. The idea was to soft cap the amount of in game money that could be spent on making player characters more powerful.
However, it's a totally unneeded system because players will naturally become uncaring monsters as they become more powerful. When a party needs to do something to complete a task or mission all the GM needs to do is put some normal humans, or innocents in their way and then watch as the players choose to ignore their humanity as they chase their goal/objective. Once the players go too far, and hurt too many people the natural response of other mercs or the police will then hunt them down.
For a modern reference look the The Boys for heroes ignoring and hurting people because they just don't care.
The anime story happens 1 year before 2077 and from all I can tell it’s canon to the game considering how David is mentioned multiple times in the game.
And U can get his yellow jacket lmao
@@theredpillneo2296 As well as the cocktail in the bar named after him when he died too
@@matgrimes5923 forgot about that one, isn’t Jackie’s there too?
@@theredpillneo2296 you can get a jackie drink yes tho im not sure if its just in the cutscene or if its a purchasable as well... been a bit since ive been to that bar.
It's also possible that cyberpsychosis is just the DRM of the software for chrome. But what if it's the more clever DRM methods that some game developers have implemented in the past, where the software still "works", but it doesn't work quite right. So that while someone might be able to rip a copy of the software and think that they've bypassed the DRM since they can successfully install and run it, that might just be the first layer of security and official licensed version of the software/hardware either don't have the side effects or are entirely manageable with drugs.
Since it'd still a piece of ALL chrome software, a hacker could totally intentionally trigger it by editing the license key or injecting some kind of signal that changes the settings of the software.
Its heavily implied that David had some level resistance to cyberpsychosis just by playing tripy GTA with the memories of the Psycho Legends of night city
I’m pretty sure that Cyber psychosis is canonically made up. I don’t think that Nux is knowledgeable enough about the universe to actually know about this. He’s only seen Edgerunners. Although I could be wrong, I don’t know shit.
Cyberpsychosis is both real and not real, since there are cases in the game were people do become cyberpsychos do to PTSD or mental issues since in the game one of Militech’s soldiers went full psycho but in other cases it’s likely that some netrunner Heck in to them or a mega corporation since in world of Cyberpunk playing cloak and dagger is common place in night city.🐱
Mind telling us how it's not real? because I've played the entire game, seen every ending, done every mission, and never once did I find anything that says it's made up.
@@DEVil-po5xz the theory is that it's essentially a made up threat used to justify the use of deadly force. Basically, implants may have a date where they malfunction so people upgrade their implants. However, when they malfunction badly it gets covered up as cyberpsychosis. This way, the human mind is put at fault and not their products. So shady practices are swept under the rug.
@@DEVil-po5xz it's suggested in one of the psycho missions if I remember right. But the original commenter might be referring to the ttrpg books.
Cyberpsychosis is just normal psychosis.
Edgerunners revitalized Punk. Trigger keeps knocking it out of the park. One of the best studio's out here.
regardless of how accurate Mat's "theory" is, felt like Nux just wanted to react just so he can complain about Mat...
Jesus why does Nux hate MatPat so bad ?
Either he genuinely doesn't like Mattpat, or it's just a marketing play.
When you like something popular, you're just another of many.
But when you *dislike* something popular, then everyone that also doesn't like it will rally under you, giving you views and engagement.
And everyone that does like it will come to your video to defend it, *also* giving you views and engagement.
I don't remember who's theory was it but my favourite is that cybersycose is that stress speeds it up and makes stronger
My theory about cyberpsychos isn't a capital or mental breakdown. It's pretty simple. The ones that get infected are ones with too many different incompatible parts. This is causing the augments to not work properly, but since the processor to use the augments is connect to our brain we force the parts to work. This is causing bugs and glitches in our brain and, since our brains aren't cpu, they cannot just shutdown with an error stating what's wrong. Human brain has defense build in when too much stress or whatever is placed in it, it'll remove emotions, shutdown the body, or go into fight/flight mode. The reason it doesn't stop is because the parts are already installed and someone else has to remove them. The company also could of made some defected products and cover it up. All the symptoms they show is similar to a cpu with bad parts or programming but what a human would see or do if the processor was in their mind.
And that makes sense
9:59 yeah, but with that, it could still be caused by the government
if the dude knows too much, or if they are not usefull enough to maintain considering how much he knows, boom, make him crazy, easy way to deal with it in general, not a lot of people would decide to search for info about it (that's "why they would do it if that's the case")
But basically yeah, it exists as normal, but also as a "hack" as it is already connected to the brain it wouldn't be impossible to scramble someone's mind a bit for them to go crazy, cause some trouble, and end up covered in lead
So you can end up developing cyberpsychosis because of your mindstate and relating to how chromed up you are, or be hacked and end up going out early
In general, it's obvious that it is used by the ones with enough money to do what they want
But yeah, the AI part I don't really buy completely
Still, it's just a theory, mostly made for entertainment
0:52 the song they used in game and in show
He sold the theory brand and now doesn't even reserch himself, he just reads whatever the script he was given says. (Accuret or not)
0162nd video asking Nux to watch the original Mobile bSuit Gundam.
YES!
Keep going!!! You will be victorius
This reaction 5 outer 10, the hate is crazy when it's about mad pad
yea felt like Nux just wanted to react just so he can complain
Cyberpsychosis is simply an acceptable risk to the corps profits and assets. Cyberware is not only highly profitable as a product but also dramatically improves productivity across all sectors of business. Not using them because occasionally one of the peons goes on a brief rampage just doesn't make sense from a business perspective. It can't be intentional mind control because if it were, the bloody rampages wouldn't be happening. The corps run everything in cyberpunk. They are interested only in profit. Sudden violence resulting in the death of employees and the destruction of property does not help with that at all. However, with how valuable cyberware is, they accept cyberpsychosis incidents as just the cost of doing business. If the system has parts that seem inefficient, just assume the corps can't or won't fix it as it isn't detrimental enough to the bottom line for them to care.
There's not some ai mastermind behind it all. It's simply a matter of profit outweighing human life in the eyes of the corps
Legend says that nuxtaku will continue to not stay still until the end of time.
I have the theory that the mind control stuff would play a huge part on phantom liberty
I guess im not entirely opposed to the whole AI conspiracy theory thing since there are canonical rogue AI's in the old net
The entire end of the Game Center’s around Johnny’s old girl turned skynet
The AI part is a very popular theory that's almost as old as the game.
@@chainsaw8507 nux didnt Play
The song is called “I really wanted to stay at your house”
You probably shouldn't talk about lore if the anime is the only thing you consumed
My mind melted in the beginning of the vid, I can't smoke rn so I gotta suffer sober! 😭
Well, one has to remember that firmware is omnipresent in cyberpunk
I REALLY want to see a Nux × MatPat collab
i dont, it would be a waste of Nux time
The game and anime are connected. The cloths of david and Rebecca have been added to my knowledge.
Nux, can you plz bring back your best series about anime badasses
It’s canon that in the game, the construct helps V to handle the cyberpsycosis effects
"Every part of the Cyberpunk IP, from Edgerunners to 2077" So....just 2077 really? Did MatPat forget that there are multiple tabletop rule books, and this IP is older then him?
Nux is weird about Matpat
nux should play cyberpunk to do the quests with cyberpsycosis and the peralez quest line so he can see what it is about and maybe in the dlc they will add more things to explain even more about it
Nux watched only anime and thinks he knows everything
Bro there is so much wrong here. All he needed was to pick up the tabletop. Why some people turn and others don't is cause of humanity. Some people are more in touch with reality, and others aren't. The government might have something to do with it, but it's not directly stated to my knowledge.
I can’t help but feel that Film Theorists copied or at best paraphrased much of what I said in my “Cyberpsychosis Is NOT Real” video :(
The anime took liberties with cyberpsychosis. That's all.
Cyber psychosis exists in Cyberpunk, but it has never been a primary issue like the anime makes it out to be. Some people get it, some don't, cyber psychosis is not at all guaranteed just by getting more chrome like the anime. It isn't a conspiracy, either. The lore of Cyberpunk is incredibly deep, so Pondsmith would have brought this up himself over the game's 30+ years if he ever intended it to be like this.
So that's how to look at this show. It is awesome, but it plays up cyber psychosis more than it should. The show would still be just as impactful without so much focus on it. David still dies in battle against Smasher. Becca can still have her moment looking into David's eyes knowing he will die. Maine can still go down in his blaze of glory. They can still encounter the ones effected, and it can still be talked about. But it should not have been this "you will 100% die because of this chrome."
Nux be here flexing, by filling my feed every single day with multiple banger vids. This is why you're the King, never change.
there is a "wild" A.I that johnny speaks to V about at the end of the jefferson questline but it doesn't go any more in depth from what i've seen
I just knew it's been too long since Nux watched Matpats theory videos lul
Matpat's theory would be good - if the lore of Cyberpunk didn't directly contradict it, as well as the person who created the entire franchise and the concept of Cyberpsychosis, and the entire game, anime, and story proving this wrong...
This was just a summary of 2077 with some guesses that are shallow and isn't ground breaking.
NUX u NEED TO do a vid on
anime balls deep: the next hashira generation explained
i need to know what you think of it
I have been possessed by the Eldritch God Yog-Sothoth.
How did he make a theory about cyber psychosis and not touch on the actual quest line about subduing cyber psychosis and the findings at the end of that quest? Which does suggest there is more to cyberpsychosis than 'chrome make you crazy' but it's more about how crappy Night City is and the stress and isolation etc that living there puts you through and the experiences of these people being driven over the edge. The chrome makes it worse but it's not the only factor involved.
Also cyber psychosis is not a new thing in this setting, look back to the cyberpunk 2020 ttrpg for example and it's there. It's not some new thing being introduced by these ais.
The reason Adam Smasher is as high functioning as he is, is because he was already a bloodthirsty psychopath even before getting chromed. They put 'Yeah, right' for his empathy stat.
Me waiting for a nux and game theory collab
Look It might be repetitive, disappointing and overall make the story worse for it but nine times out of ten the big villain is AI capitalism and the writers will TIE LITERALLY EVERYTHING BACK TO IT to make it look scary and insidious but instead what it ultimately does is undermine all the aspects of the story that were good individually unconnected, yes it's unfortunate that it makes the story worse and it's fine if you want to ignore it for that but you can't outright deny it because It Is the truth.
bro got 666k subs
I mean, both forms of cyberpsychosis are not mutually exclusive, there could be software made specifically to induce a state of psychosis in victims exposed to it, and also the natural paths for a person to suffer the condition without being shoved off of the cliff on purpose. The state of mind of the victim clearly also matters and affects how susceptible they are and how far gone they get and how fast. Could certianly see some corporation creating a psycho-virus as a kind of 'protection' for the implants they make for mil spec users and in-house corporate security... That way when such gets stolen, copied or sold to people not authorised... well those dont have the right protections or key steps on the installation which leaves the offenders on a path of self-destruction.
Remember Nux, Matpat never watched p0rn
Aw come one nux this theory was pretty good
I always figured that Cyberpychosis is the combination of both too many mentally straining implants with an already unstable mind
Examples of which are prevelant within the game and anime
Game example: The Militech agent, It would make sense for a soldier to have some mental issues given what a soldier would go through, add some implants that stress the mind too much and they'll snap.
Anime example: David has to deal with the trauma of his mother dying right in front of him, and then assumes the weight of responsibility of caring for the gang believing he isnt strong enough to do so and jacks up on implants bringing his mind to the edge.
I'd say MatPat has a point, but he's leaning too hard into the conspiracy theory angle.
This exist for the same reason why London is not londonium.
Pops up while I’m playing cyberpunk 2077 rn lol
Being serious here... does it actually work or have you modded it to oblivion to get it to work.
It works for me but I’m on the Xbox Series X and so far no glitches
@@somerandomdude373 cool! Have fun!
Other people are talking about Cyberpsycosis, so I won't beat around that bush, but talking about A.I. without mentioning Alt or the Firewall?
We get the motivation of the human characters in the corporation (mostly Yorinobu Arasaka) that cause the main plot contrivance, and push the main character forward, but leave it to MatPat to asspull ANYTHING ELSE to explain one dude (who could also be explained by corporate, a running theme in the story).
Delamain wasn't just trying to gain control, it was trying to REGAIN control of rogue aspects of it's own programming, lest they 1) tarnish the Delamain brand and 2) let on that Delamain is a full-functional A.I., which carries a terrible stigma, because the NET.
Edgerunners is a precuel, Yes, but for only 6 months
The anime in lore is set in 2076 so fairly comparable to the game
Nux saying mid like he got some better theory 💀
Yeah, blaming everything on the corps is like blaming every missing person case in Boston/Fallout 4 on the Institute. Did they do it? Maybe? I can't walk 2 blocks without running over a raider base or super mutant camp, so god knows how many people go for a walk and don't come back because they're in one of those meat sacks or are now sitting disassembled while a raider decides where they best like your heart compared to your liver.
Yeah... Matpat maybe writes 1/5th of the theories he posts on his channel, and he isnt the one that does most of the research. He is the Face of the theory channels and the manager, but he doesnt do most of the background work anymore and it shows in the quality of the theories sometimes.
Imagine shitting on matpat
OK, If he at least under HOW Cyberpsychosis works, then he might of had a shot. It's a PSYCHOSIS, first and foremost. The mind fractures due to the stress put on the brain as it is unable to reconcile the absence of limbs/organs while at the same being told that they are still present by the cyberware. It's a literal overload of phantom limb syndrome as the brain goes: "I know there's a limb but it's not MY limb". And once the brain gets to it on repeat, things go bad, reality disconnects and psychosis sets in.
And it's a prevalent facet present in ALL settings that have prevalent use of cyberware.
Yeah, sometimes I like the stuff Matt's team comes up with, but this was one of those episodes where he heard how popular the show was and decided to come up with a theory then look for anything he could find to back it. Pretty sure that terminal that was saying Maxtac often struggled with cyberpsychosis was suggesting because they had so much cyberware, some of their members would sometimes go psycho, not they were all cyberpsychos and occasionally had problems controlling it. And the reason V could get pretty much every implant without going psycho was because he was about to die from that relic thing anyway. Presumably if he didn't have that and completely covered himself in as much cyberware as the player usually puts him in, then he'd of gone psycho before long after the game's story. Besides, in both the game and show we see again and again the first thing the corps do when they hear someone goes psycho is try and kill them as soon as possible, not recruit them. Possibly the two exceptions we know being that girl from the trailer and Adam, but I took her as more of an easteregg than a worldbuilding hint. And Adam Smasher ... well he's just built different.
I can't tell whether Matpat's theories are getting worse, or whether my critical thinking skills have gone way up over the past decade.
Maybe both?
To hide that theyre doing it, Nux
Nux's hatred to Mat is pretty funny as always
No it isn't
I thought it was people just going crazy cuz life sucks. Cyberpsychosis is just an excuse to put people down no questions asked.
I'm not really sure what the theory is here... Cyberpsychosis is well described in the universe.
From the game, anime and the small amount I read about the original tabletop RPG source, cyberpsychosis is a catchall term for any insanity brought on by cyberware. So it can be triggered by external hacking, but more commonly it's a loss of a person's sense of humanity as they become more "borg" than man.
The reason it is classed as a death sentence and the disorder isn't well defined is due apathy by those in power. They really don't care about an individuals wellbeing, so they only "treat" those they deem useful and murder the rest. This "treatment" usually keeps them as psychotic but on a leash (e.g. Smasher, MaxTac)
Smasher is a particularly special case as he was psychotic prior to receiving any implants and the original writer classified him as a "high-functioning cyberpsycho."
One of the videos of all time is insane
Matt's theory is weird hence if it's mind control why is the only way to avoid cyberpsychosis to have loved ones
This has been a theory since the game first came out
This is really sad because there is actual in game evidence to back this up and he could have fully gone in to it but he chose to do it as a film theory and half assed the info
Great 👍🏻 video nice 👍🏻 hype!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Both game and show share the same lore.
I think I can kinda agree with matpat because some of the points that he mentions are believable so I will have to disagree with nuxanor.
I used to like Matt's videos, but now it all comes off so cringe. Maybe it's just me getting older, but I don't know. I'm just surprised that it wasn't a fnaf video. Nux is great as always though. Also hilarious that he called his theory at the start.
V goes by they/them because he is literally 2 dudes.
"Capitalism Bad. Corporation controls EVERYTHING."
How very creative Matt 🤣🤣🤣
Yeah Cp2077 lore goes HARD
Go ahead and look into Mr Blue Eyes
Nux, I like your videos, but the Edgerunners and 2077 are canon. Of course, it's standalone, but it's connected to the universe. Not only that, but the fun fact is that Cyberpunk was made as TTRPG in 1988, and Mike Pondsmith made Cyberpunk as a whole, including Edgerunners, as a series. And next, you and Mat may be right or wrong because the lore is not just in the game but from the Tabletop role-playing game. The lore and theories are fucking bigger, and I suggest you need to know everything from the Cyberpunk universe.
Cyberpsychosis does exactly exist to make them brainwashed and control their minds. Because there were four corporate wars between Militech and Arasaka, most of the soldiers did get hacked, turned into psychos, or made their heads explode since some soft were not strong enough. One legendary netrunner by the name of Rache Bartmoss did manage to shut down all the networks, and by all, I mean the internet, but his body is lifeless, and he turns himself into a Rogue AI. I believe I know why Arasaka uses children to go to Blackwall to find him and Alt Cunningham as baits.
I may not know most of them, but if you dwell down Cyberpunk lore, I'm not going to sugarcoat things, it's a fucking shit show of a ride.
Mattpat got major L about cyberphychosis
I mean... after the AI thing, it makes enough sense to be a pretty valid theory.
Smasher replaced his brain with a computer. He's not unique the true problem of the show is that "cyber psychosis" isn't actually what they show it to be. What they show are supposed to be effects of an implant rejection which is why it's treated with immuno suppressants however the effects from a body rejecting prosthetic implants are caused by metal particulates entering the blood stream cobalt and titanium of which implants would be made of have no psychosis inducing effects the real problem of the psychological disorder that could or would end up as shown would actually be due to the fact that the human brain would be freaking out that those aren't it's parts like phantom limb on mega steroids. This brings me back to smasher replacing his brain with a computer which would mean he couldn't go cyberpsycho. However because the writers don't know jack the in universe reason is likely that he's immuno deficient they also telegraph the ending way to hard like every episode after mane dies is basically a death flag for everyone except Lucy
Copy of someone's mind would be AI. If you could relocate your mind to a different location, amd mot just copy it then that wouldn't be AI.
I just want the yugioh POGression series to indoctrinate me into the best yugioh series in RUclips again
I guesss MatPat just doesn't like capitalism. XD It seems like it's a common theme in his videos.
