those cool cybernetic implants aren’t that cool imo
I have an artificial lens in one eye (like a contact lens that’s been glued in place) that has built in uv protection. Not cybernetic as such, but I’d say it was adjacent.
Yeah that sounds cool af
Lol, And all it cost me the ability to focus on anything not exexactly 37 inches away.
A friend of mine changed his internal lenses to synthetic ones due to cataracts. He was used to the dim light of cataracts and it took him a while to get used to a brighter world.
Dude had built in shades and didn’t know it.
Fun fact, many of the intra-ocular lenses and contact lenses that provide UV protection do so just by the properties of the material they are made of, not any special coating.
This is fair, if we had neon shit and cybernetics it would make the world a little cooler I guess.
Nah, they’d make it like repo.
We do have Elon Musk brain implants now. Any takers? Didn’t think so. You do not want to go cyberpunk
Also you don’t have cyberdecks with 40mm microCD drives but smartphones without expendable storage.
there are plenty of cybernetic implants that do not work anymore because the company that makes them refuses to update them so that part is totally already a thing
My grandpa’s pacemaker has beef with being left out of the, “cool cybernetic implants,” category.
Depending on where you live, you can also have the cool neon aesthetic.
If you’re going to make me live in a dystopia, then there better be a cool aesthetic at least.
All of the bad stuff, none of the cool stuff.
You forgot firearm vending machines and rampant gang violence.
I wanted star trek but I got cyberpunk.
We also have killer robot dogs and illicit cloning labs irl now.
Fuck neon, LEDs, all that bright shit spoiling the night. Razor-sharp splashes of light pollution is not an aesthetic, they are an eyestrain and an ad space. My homies enjoy old districts and wilderness where they can relax and see the stars for once.
That doesn’t sound very dystopian
