What does 40,000 mean in Don't Fear the Reaper?

"(Don't Fear) The Reaper" by Blue Öyster Cult is about the inevitability of death and the idea that love transcends it, not about suicide, despite misinterpretations from the Romeo and Juliet reference. The "40,000 men and women every day" line was a rough guess by writer Buck Dharma for the number of daily global deaths, meant to show death is common, while the song's core message is accepting mortality and finding eternal connection.

What's the funnest lifepath in Cyberpunk?

The "most fun" Cyberpunk lifepath is subjective, but Corpo offers the most unique dialogue, corporate espionage intrigue, and a satisfying "fall from grace, climb back up" arc, making it great for stealth/netrunner builds and lore deep-dives; Nomad provides a fresh outsider perspective, a strong "found family" theme with the Aldecaldos, and fits Mad Max vibes; while Street Kid offers local knowledge but is sometimes seen as less distinct, though it's a good insider-to-outsider transition, so choose based on your preferred roleplay: smart insider (Corpo), outsider/family (Nomad), or street-smart local (Street Kid).

In Cyberpunk 2077, V and Johnny Silverhand can't both live in the same body long-term; either V dies, Johnny dies/merges with Alt, or V gets a few months to live before dying, but the Phantom Liberty DLC offers "The Tower" ending where V lives but loses the ability to use cyberware, while Johnny effectively dies, and there's also an ambiguous ending where V goes to space, potentially "living" with Alt digitally, leaving Johnny in the body. The closest to a shared life is the Temperance ending, where Johnny takes V's body, and V's engram goes to Mikoshi, but that's not both living together.

Should I turn Songbird to Reed?

Deciding whether to give Songbird to Reed in Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty depends on your desired ending, as it's a pivotal betrayal with significant consequences, often leading to the "King of Pentacles" ending where V gets a potential (but costly) cure, while siding with Songbird leads to the "King of Cups" path. Handing Songbird to Reed offers the NUSA's promised cure, but you lose your combat abilities and friends, while siding with Songbird means a more rebellious path, but no cure and potential betrayal from her. There's no "best" choice, just different outcomes reflecting themes of loyalty, survival, and the NUSA's oppressive nature.
