Clueless about how a regular old phone works, V raised the receiver, creating a cacophony of distant beeps that resonated with the situation’s absurdity. However, the real comedic twist came when Johnny Silverhand, summoned by the relic chip, appeared and used a comically exaggerated hand gesture to guide V into placing the phone to her ear.
This endearing yet side-splitting scene has ignited a firestorm within the Cyberpunk 2077 community. Players poke fun at V’s struggle with a simple telephone. Comparisons to videos of younglings attempting to operate rotary phones have resurfaced, highlighting the stark contrast between V’s futuristic upbringing and the antiquated technology she encountered. After all, in 2077, the internet as we know it is a distant memory, leaving room for V to remain blissfully unaware of the intricacies of older communication devices.
