playing and liking Cyber Punk 2077

Cyberpunk 2077 – Let the Devs Cook, Gamer World
An open letter to players, publishers, and the future of gaming

Let me start with this:
I love Cyberpunk 2077.
I haven’t even finished it yet, and I can already say it’s one of the boldest, most ambitious games I’ve played in years.

So why does everyone seem to hate it?


CD Projekt Red Deserves Applause, Not a Lawsuit

Cyberpunk was a leap of faith for CD Projekt Red — a team known for fantasy RPGs stepping into the gritty, neon chaos of a futuristic open world. That’s not a baby step. That’s a head-first dive into unknown waters.

And what did they get in return?

  • Lawsuits from investors.

  • Publisher panic.

  • Fan outrage before the game even had a chance to grow.

To that I say:
πŸ‘ BRAVO to the devs.
πŸ‘Ž BOO to the investors who caved under pressure and abandoned ship.


Yes, It Has Faults — But What Game Doesn’t?

Let’s be real: Cyberpunk 2077 isn’t perfect.
It needs deeper character development. Some moments feel rushed. And sure, the launch was… let’s just say chaotic.

But it was also CDPR’s first time tackling a game like this. First-person, modern sci-fi, branching narratives, romance trees, multiple factions, open-world AI systems — all at once. That’s no easy feat.


Mass Effect 1 Wasn’t Perfect Either

And don’t even get me started on the Mass Effect comparisons.
Do y’all remember Mass Effect 1? Because I do:

  • Long, boring dialogue trees.

  • Empty-feeling characters.

  • Janky quest lines and broken elevators.

But we let them grow.
We gave them time to build.
And in return, we got Mass Effect 2 — and eventually Mass Effect 3, one of the most emotionally impactful sci-fi games in history.

Let Cyberpunk do the same. Let it breathe. Let it evolve.


Not Every Groundbreaking Game Is Polished Out the Gate

Some of the best, most iconic games launched broken.
And yet here we are, expecting every new release to be flawless while still demanding innovation, scale, beauty, and immersion.

You can’t have all of that on day one. You just can’t.
Let’s bring patience back to gaming.


PSA: Fan Pressure Is Getting Out of Control

Let me slide this little PSA in here:
Fan pressure is ruining the industry.

Developers are scrambling to please impossible standards. Studios are getting bullied out of their vision. And the loudest voices online? Often the ones who don’t even play the game that deep.

It’s wild.

Let the devs do their jobs. Trust the people who spend years building the worlds we get to lose ourselves in. If you, as a gamer, think you can do it better — go ahead. Otherwise:

Sit down. Be humble.
Give these creators space to grow. You just might be surprised at what they’re capable of.


Until next time,

Jobless reincarnation

Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation – The Most Human Isekai I’ve Ever Watched
This May Contain Spoilers (and a deep emotional journey)

Let’s get one thing clear off the bat:
I LOVED Mushoku Tensei.
Start to finish. No skips. No apologies.

A lot of people tried to write it off as just another isekai — or worse, gave up in the middle arc.
But not me.
I was glued. Obsessed. Heartbroken.
And completely in awe of the growth this story gave me.


πŸŒ€ A Second Chance at Life – But With All the Baggage

We’re following a 40-year-old man — jobless, traumatized, unloved, and unliving — who gets reincarnated in a new world as a baby. But here’s the thing that sets this series apart:

He remembers everything.

His regrets.
His fears.
His shame.
His entire old life.

And that’s where the magic starts — because this isn’t just some wish-fulfillment fantasy where he gets to “start over.”
This is about trying again, but with all the scars still fresh.

It’s not pretty.
It’s not clean.
But it’s real.


πŸ”₯ The Power is Cool, But the Person is the Story

Yes, the magic is great.
Yes, the fights go HARD.
Yes, the world is rich and beautifully animated.

But what I came back for — what kept me emotionally invested — was Rudeus’s personal evolution.

That “middle season” people love to hate?
That was his chrysalis.

He lost everything after the teleportation disaster.
His father blamed him.
He lost his family, his friends, his sense of purpose.
He hit rock bottom — even with all that power.
And what did we get?
A broken, depressed man… learning to get up again.

We watched him try to make real human connections — with Eris, with his new party, with people who didn’t know “his past.”
And when Eris left him? We felt that heartbreak because he wasn’t just losing a love interest — he was losing hope.


πŸ’” Romance, Rebirth, and Real Love

And let’s talk about that love story.

What starts out as awkward and uncomfortable slowly becomes something real.
He learns patience.
He learns how to not just desire someone, but to love them — to listen, to care, to be worthy.

His eventual marriage? The way he grows into a husband and father?
I cried. I cried.

Because you don’t see that often — especially in isekai.
A man broken by life… finding love and creating a family he never thought he deserved.


🧠 The Mental Growth of a Once-Dead Man

The most powerful thing this anime did was not the magic.
Not the fights.
Not the sexy elf girls (though let’s be honest — they were out there).

It was this:
They showed us a man becoming a better human being.

It wasn’t instant.
It wasn’t clean.
And it wasn’t without setbacks.

But slowly… day by day…
Rudeus became someone his younger self never imagined he could be.
He turned regret into purpose.
He learned to love — not just others, but himself.
He got to be badass and broken at the same time.

And the best part? He never lost that inner voice — the 40-year-old mind watching everything unfold, questioning it, cringing at it, growing from it.

That was the magic.
That was the genius.


πŸ‘‘ Final Thoughts: A Masterpiece in Disguise

Mushoku Tensei was never just about the power fantasy.
It was about redemption.
It was about healing.
It was about getting a second chance and asking:
“What will I do differently this time?”

For me?
It’s top-tier anime. No debates. No shame.
It gave me tears, laughs, frustration, and hope.
And it did it all with heart.

If you dropped it during the middle arc… go back.
Trust me. You’re missing one of the best stories anime has to offer.
