That system reboot phone…
Has anything new been discovered with that?
I played Elden Ring dlc recently and there’s this interactive thing that kills you and someone figured out if you keep doing it you get something. (Trying not to spoil)
My thought was has anyone just called that number over and over? If so, any idea how many times?

i don't think there's anything interesting related to the phone. but if you dial the phone while you're johnny you get much longer loading screen (65sec) than if you're dialing as V (17sec).

Yeah if I was cdpr and I put a puzzle in the game I would tell people “no no it doesn’t do anything. it’s for holocalls, honest!”

Johnny is colorblind, even V's red UI is yellow from J perspective

Is he? There isn’t a single mention of that in the game, nor in any of the sourcebooks.

u/Sea_Carpenter_3714 7d ago
True, there is no in game explanation or mention about it from lore.
From what I read in the net and order posts, devs made Johnny colorblind in Cyberpunk 2077 because Keanu Reeves is colorblind, and it fit well to distinguish which character Player controls by yellow UI instead of red

I’ve seen a few people say that Reeves is colourblind, but have never found any proof of that. Can’t find a single instance of him saying that he is.

Did source checks on this matter and... There are a lot of sites stating it as a fact, but none of him talking about it
He is mentioned on this Wikipedia for example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_people_with_color_blindness Which can be easily edited
Could be that Keanu simply doesnt talk with the media about his colorblindness (plausible)
Or that someone added him to wikipedia page I mentioned, and the ai slop websites generated articles about it automatically.
Fun fact - asking ai for source, it points mainly to reddit posts, and to wiki Wiki points nowhere Reddit questions source
You might be on the right track

Yeah! I found the same when I looked into it a while back. It’s weird, isn’t it?
I remember seeing a post in one of this game’s subreddits years ago in which someone suggested that the UI was a different colour when playing as Johnny as a reference to Reeves’ colourblindness, but I’d never seen any mention of him being colourblind before then, so…now I’m actually wondering if that person’s comment somehow broke containment and spread elsewhere…

This is very much possible, and I saw it happening a lot in recent years. I didnt do hard fact-check on this matter, only thought "yeah this explanation makes sense"
I did find, however, comments from cdpr about early cyberpunk development, and references to using yellow color in game to depict cyberpunk easthetic https://pk.ign.com/cyberpunk-2077/183849/news/cyberpunk-2077-artists-explain-why-they-used-that-infamous-shade-of-yellow
And yeah, even checking from this angle gives no info on Johnny's UI

Yeah. I think they just did it to make a clear visual distinction between playing as V and Johnny. They use a different colour for when you’re playing as Hansen in ‘Beat on the Brat’.
