    It’s from cyberpunk:

    • solo = unaffiliated mercenary (presumably)
    • Eddies = eurodollars
    • gonk = slightly derogatory term for just some dude

    Basically the guy hired a mercenary bodyguard for cheap and the bodyguard went off the rails and tore some dude’s arms off.

    It’s relatable because this kind of thing happens all the time in cyberpunk - it might even be hinting a little at cyberpsychosis, where a person has so many cybernetic implants that they go crazy on the violence.

        It looks great at 1080p on almost any card with 8GB VRAM but the more the better. The baked in lighting is superb. Even on medium settings it’s beautiful. Also runs better on linux AMD so if you have a steam deck it plays well.

          Shit, here I’ve been putting it off because I built my rig cheap in 2018 and it’s starting to show it’s age, but that’s basically my exact stats!

        Every so often I replay it by starting new characters with different builds and I always 100% the questing. It’s v fun.
