           Cyberpunk 2077 5th Anniversary Collector’s Edition

Abstract

   Cool merch that brings with it some questions about the lore

Body

   I pre-ordered this several months ago because the idea of having the
   Relic[1] on my desk was too cool to pass up. Now that I have it, this
   4.75" replica of the in-game tech made me finally realize (for some
   reason) that everyone with a cyberbrain swaps these things out on the
   regular. So like, do you have a drawer of these? Is it an annual
   upgrade like phones are to the tech-obsessed today? Are there people
   fabbing their own? The craziest thing is that Mike Pondsmith, the
   creator, probably has answers for me.

   the Relic

   Here’s the star of the show, the Relic nestled in its magnetic mount
   (USB A, boo). I love the red glow, look ominous. To think a terrorist
   variant of Keanu Reeves lives in that thing, wild.

   The metal case looks good.

   Here’s the Relic in it’s sleek Arasaka backdrop.

   If you didn’t know, tarot plays a sizable role in Cyberpunk 2077.
   Here we have The Emperor, Strength, and The World.

   Have some pins!

   I know Arasaka is the main evil corp in the game but I wish we got
   some Militech merch.

   Arasaka drive

   Finally, check out this cool thumb drive! It holds a disc image with
   soundtracks: the two-disc original score and the Phantom Liberty DLC
   original score. Unfortunately, the last song of the former, "Never
   Fade Away," is corrupted. Ironic.

   I love that all the files are in .wav format though. 🕸️
