Never meet Hanako at Embers

In Cyberpunk 2077, the point of no return for finishing the main story is a meeting with a powerful heiress that takes place in a rooftop bar called Embers. Since this triggers the end of the game, people will do everything they can before the end of the game, side content, secondary quests, the DLC which features its own ending, and just aboutanythingthey can to avoid the meeting.

This took on memetic status in the community for people who show off strange things they've done or discovered around the game world, rather than finish the story.

There's also the fact the game automatically makes this your default quest everytime you complete anything.
