Yeah, this velcro asshole is cool and all, but needing both hands to shit, not so much. Us gen 1 cyborgs don’t have very much that’s neat.
Dad was gen 2. His brain implant stopped his Parkinson’s tremors. So like, we do have the cool shit, we’re just at the very early stages. Follow Deep Brain Stimulation research out of UCSan Francisco and… I think the other team was in Munich? Those are the folk to watch.
Dude the cybernetic shit is the least likely thing and even if it worked well, the worst thing to get. It’s always a trap, even in the fiction.
You like upgrading your phone? Being spied on? Spending thousands on a device that is designed to break every few years so you buy another?
You want your fucking limbs to be like that?
The best cybernetic limb would interface perfectly with your body. It wouldn’t need outside energy, and use energy from food you consume. It would give you an interface you’re familiar with, because you spent years learning how to use what you have. It would heal wounds on its own, not need repairs! It would perfectly relay sensory information to your brain as your existing limbs do. It would use nanotech to repair itself. It would be trainable, get stronger as you use it more. It would adapt to how its used.
…all of that is what biology is. Biology is inherently the perfect cybernetics after millions of years of evolution.
The only reason to ever get cybernetic limbs is because you lose limbs or aren’t born with them, disabilities and such. It will be that way for a long long long while. Games are extremely unrealistic about this. Anything you’d want would be closer to genetic modifications and biology than cybernetics.
That’s why you get black market, back alley, DIY cybernetics installed by only the best and shadiest underground surgeons who have a dubious medical license that may or may not be non-existent in a filthy basement behind a pizzaria.
lol. I would hate having to wear a glove all the time.
Edit: So I spent a little time trying to read about it online and pretty much their claim is that it only works if you get your hand close enough to the terminal. So basically the only thing keeping your payment information safe is distance. That would make me very uncomfortable. Wait until bad actors start embedding readers in places you touch naturally without thinking about it like at the gas station pump etc…
Super cool living in a cyberpunk hell without any of the cool body modifications
I was thinking the same thing T_T
I got a cool body modification! I had genital nullification surgery because I’m ace and nb. I’ve got no genitals. I also take estrogen pills.
That’s fucking cool as fuck.
I’m also legally considered male but have big fucking tits. So I’m thinking about going streaking at a protest. What are they gonna arrest Me for?

Give me the exotic body sculpting already. 😩

Don’t do Victor bad like that!
There are some cool body mods. But this isn’t one of them.
Meh, my watch can do that
Right? So can my phone. I’m not impressed.
Also if it is literally under your skin they can force your hand to make a payment you don’t want.
Hadn’t even considered that. I have to unlock my devices to authorize a payment. How does that work with an implant?
Faraday glove.

Watch em’ rip that glove off.
That is the stupidest thing I have ever seen.
Please don’t give me a challenge like that. That’s (one reason) why I always say second [adjective]-est thing I’ve ever seen.
Also it gives people a reason to ask “what’s the first” and I can weave some bullshit story it’s really fun.
