Cyberpunk 2077 Easter Egg Pays Homage to Blade Runner #cyberpunk
It would have been a huge oversight if CDPR had not placed Blade Runner-related Easter eggs in Cyberpunk 2077. Below is one of them, a Roy Batty replicant-type character with a bird on a rooftop. There is also an origami crane on the lobby table in the hotel, a Roy Batty tombstone in the cemetery (with the “tears in the rain” as his quote), and a Batty’s Hotel.
Which begs the question: What other cyberpunk fictions and other references are there in the game? Below is a video with a 100 such discoveries. If you’ve found others, please post in the comments.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat – we’ll post the link there.
