    Minor correction- SCOP is an acronym, for Single Celled Organic Protein, produced from engineered yeast or similar *single celled* organisms rather than worms. It doesn't need to be ground down into a paste, because a paste is it's natural state, there's no animal connective tissue present that would need to be broken down.

      @@sr3145 allegedly it's quite tasty, and technically it's a bit similar to cheese which is just a bacteria that converts milk sugars and proteins. You could also use grasshoppers aka locust and feed them waste grain. Locust are actually highly nutritious and In several cultures bugs and insects are used as a good source of proteins. Locust are great as normally they are a pest that are the scourge of agriculture and eat so much they often cause famine, but if you can farm the grasshoppers into locust you get a great form of low fat, high protein "meat" that can be crushed and processed into pretty convincing meat-substitutes. I believe a diet of insects is called "Entomotarian" If I'm not mistaken.

      Normally I wouldn't comment on something multiple months old but I thought I'd mention that the video is technically correct for 2076/2077, as the Cyberpunk Edgerunners Mission Kit for Cyberpunk RED mentions that current (as of 2076) SCOP is made using ground up worms in the Edgerunner's Handbook. I just thought it was neat and worth sharing.
      "Today, most of our diet consists of artificial food. I
      don’t mean what you’re eating is plastic or something.
      It just isn’t what it pretends to be. Let’s take the burrito
      you had for lunch. The meat didn’t come from a cow. It
      was “farmed” down in Biotechnica Flats, south of the
      city, in the form of worms ground down into a paste
      called scop, then molded, flavored, and dyed into a shape
      vaguely resembling meat. The beans and other veg are
      algae and soy pushed through a similar process. The
      cheese is made of chemicals, mixed in a vat, and left to
      dry..."
      "Scop: A form of moldable protein used in many foods.
      It originally referred to single-celled organisms grown
      for the purpose, but the term now includes all processed imitation foods. Informally used to describe any
      low-quality foodstuff."

      I got to make sure I remember to use my luck in order to help. It might not be much but 1 or 2 can make or break a necessary dodge. My next plan is to attempt a Face-Down with the Militec Attack wave, dumping all my luck, in the hopes I can essentially threaten or bluff the apartment out of their boss' grasp.

    So after re watching this video.
    If i lived in NC.
    I would probably work for low level Militech position. And do side gigs like deliverings or basic jobs for corpos.
    For food, get whatever corpos get but slightly cheaper. If i live outside NC around where Rivers lives. I'll try to grow some food with my neighbors. But if that is not the case. I would try to live as close as downtown NC. Less crime but i would be safe.
    I have to get a gun and basic training. Working for Militech will probably provide you with the basics. Without being a soldier for them. Also, i won't fight a war for them since my very low position.
    People take BDs for granted. You can learn so much like cooking, business knowledge, better help for mental stress, military training, and tactics. You would more than likely have to buy them from local Fixers. You can not buy the cheap stuff. Definitely try some of those BDs Judy made.🤣
    (V got a cheap BD and almost got his/her organs and cyberwear taken by Scavs.)
    And as for Cyberwear. I would try to buy some tech for better mobility. One fancy eye like V had. The less tech i have the less chance i have on getting hacked or targeted by scavs.

    just so you know .. according to the official lore of the table top game, "night city" is what is known as "battle zone"
    *NOT EVERY SINGLE CITY IS LIKE IT!* the rest of the world IS by all means a dystopian digital disaster.
    however! the world the game is based on "the table top game's lore" is separated into 3 areas ..
    1- unlivable space taken by pollution
    2- civil spaces where one can live a very normal ordinary life
    3- battle zones where rules don't exist
    the common theme among all these is .. the fact corporal giants control everything.
    Night City is NOT the only battle zone, and it's NOT the only place to exist with endless legends and mercs everywhere
    it's merely the place where V's story take place at.

    I've never lived in a city before. I have no doubt I'd die a swift death without getting unearthly lucky and probably make me want to give up a thousand times.
    I'd probably be a Scav (ironic, seeing as how I hate Scavs) and then use whatever chrome I could get my hands on. I'd REALLY want some mantis blades and probably a cyberdeck or a reflex booster. Both would be ideal. I think I'd make a decent netrunner. I'm distrustful and misanthropic so this would make working alongside others extremely tricky if not near-impossible.
    If I managed to find an inch up, however unlikely, I'd try going solo or work for a fixer. All while slowly breaking down my mind and body, but to heck with it.

    • @JustForGaming_Alt-kf8lz
      @JustForGaming_Alt-kf8lz 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I don't think scavs hire outsiders, especially unsure ones. Like VDBs, they're from a certain geographic/ethnic set, specifically eastern europeans. If you're willing to join a Set (gang) you'd have an easy enough time joining 6th street so long as you pass as sufficiently patriotic and anti-corp. Assuming 2020 hasn't become entirely non-canon, there actually are a bunch of gants that are quite welcoming to green thumbs, and a few that act more like vigilante polics than criminal orgs.
      IMO as a netrunner you'd be better off starting solo until you get scouted by a fixer/vigilante gang/netwatch, or just joining a corp. Very few gangs really respect their runners so joining a set as a new netrunner wouldn't be worth the trouble. Gangs in NC are for people who live in meatspace but can't swing a corpo gig or find a start as an edgerunner.
