Another work of Zhirafa
#Cyberpunk

So I assume they have more advanced robotics, but the focus seems to be on external stuff.
This thing even mentions how Cybernetics are hard to get, heavily sought for and not produced in bug enough numbers.
The way I see it most Soviet cyberware would still be obvious, not because it's bulky and clumsy, but because it's designed with durability in mind, and is based either off of combat limbs or industrial limbs for drones.
Techtronika is basically "Russian Miltech"
WAIT WAIT
SLAM DANCE IS RUSSIAN
Well. It's owned by SovOil at least.
Gnarly and fucked up.
RUSSIA HAS THEIR OWN STREETSLANG
It's called "Sovuz" or "Sov-speak"

They sure seem hellish from outside, if you only look at the weapons and items, but that's because they're all produced by SovOil and it's subsidiaries, and the corpos are the main reason NeoSoviets are kinda shit in the first place.
Just saw someone complain that Cyberpunk (the videogame) is anti-russian cause the Reapers are Slavic.
And like yeah maybe a bit? It's a polish game there's gonna be an anti-russian sentiment.
But also... There's polish people in the Reapers...

Cause half of the formatting is broken

And there are ads covering up 90% of the screen and this FUCKING BANNER THAT ALWAYS GOES TO THE MIDDLE OF THE FUCKINF SCREEN AND SLIDES ABOUT IN THE MOST INFURIATING EAYS TO ALWays be IN THE WAY!
"oh well I'd like to read that part, let me scroll back up, so the banner moves up too, since it's up there"
"SIKE, FUCK YOU! NO READING THE TABLE"
You see the banner is meant to lift up, so as not to obscure the ads (pictured as the white fucking sqaure) at any point
But since it was coded by a sleep deprived typewriter monkey five bottles in, it just breaks the second it does that, and remains perpetually hovering around the middle of the screen

i did imagine the like, turning point for Ember would be like, that once she starts being friends with the gang she basically gets told that she can work with them, but if they ever learn or do anything that'd compromise the company, she'd have to kill them. Then RK like, gets some corpo data from a netrun or something, and she goes to like, stab him while he's asleep but can't bring herself to do it, and rips out the monitoring chip from her neural link or something, which kicks off the whole nonsense

I'm weird cause I usually love stealth but I cannot handle it in Cyberpunk.

i do like how many options you get for stealth in Cyberpunk, very immersive sim-y
especially with Stealth Netrunner

yeah, honestly it's the best approximation of the type of stealth/melee combat i really like of "stealth by speed"
like, you don't have to just like, skyrim crabwalk everywhere, especially with high cool/ref you can fuckin zip around it's so fun

lemme... its in the 2020 core book fuckin somewhere
worldly light
Tried it once. Was curious. Not for me... Not for anyone, really. They kill you, slowly. You won't even notice.
You come expecting fun. But it's not real fun, not you having fun. It's someone else. Disgusting feeling, really. You can tell it's not you. The way you can see their nose, glimpses of their body. The way they breathe, the way their clothes touch the skin, the way they feel pain, or pleasure. All subtly different... It feels... Like looking in the mirror and seeing something that isn't you, again.
Some people get custom ones. Personalised or whatever. Indistinguishable, really, but it's still all fake, someone else's, with a thin, new layer of skin draped over.
They drown themselves in imagined, stolen pleasures, too busy buying more of them to consider... Feeling something of their own. Doing something.
Don't get me started on the illegal ones, killing and torturing people so some bored asshole can feel a little thrill back at home. And the worst thing? They're just a symptom. We could make a virtu, the same way. We could make it all by hand. Tailor it. Make it feel real. But it's easier to do the real thing. To bolt that thing to someone's head and kill them, put a gun to their temple and pull the trigger. And their dying brain will make it all for you.
It's cheaper, it's easier.
And that's the problem with this city. Cyberpsychosis? That's made up, man. That's not real. It's just an excuse they came up with to handwave away the fact that this place drives everyone insane.
Needing more. Going psycho.
More power, more money, more pleasure, more pain, more Chrome, more guns, more cars, more bullets, more more more. Until your brain is fried until the only thing you can conceptualise is that you need more of *something* and the cheapest, fastest way to get it is to kill someone else.
So that's my opinion on your little toy, since you asked so nicely.```Tada :)
