Nose?
Itāsā¦ complicated. They tossed in all sorts of game mechanics from a bunch of other popular gamesā¦ FPSā¦ VATSā¦ Mirrors Edgeā¦ Grand Theft Auto driving simulatorā¦ and likewise the story is just as multifaceted. Each mini-story explores a little facet of what life would be like in the post apocalypse setting of the worst citystate left after the war. I found these stories to be less about moral decisions, and more about exploring (somewhat forcedly) a specific experience of ācoming upā in such an environment, then
losing it all in the end. They really drive home how easily players would abuse augmented capabilities in such an environment. Take on anyoneā¦ break any lawā¦ kill on a whimā¦ to play like that for hoursā¦ then to lose all augmentations and be unable to fend off a simple muggingā¦ to suddenly be walking in fear through the streets of Night Cityā¦ the contrast is emotionally striking.

Itās a bunch of stories and many of those have a theme of ācorporations badā. Nothing to write home about if you ask meā¦
Itās not, but some people absolutely love it.
Apart from the parts of the game that take place in Clouds, I felt like the developers were trying to get the players exited and turned on with a bunch of pornā¦ Sure, I was personally horrified but most of these elements were presented as rewards to the player. If anything, Iām glad that I wasnāt playing this in public when a certain side quest came with an unexpected surpriseā¦
I read that you had to romance a some characters, and I understood that as āyou had to go through the porn scenesā.
There were a couple of comments in the main story and some side quests that had a bunch of marxist junk in them. I really disliked this, but this wasnāt my first rodeo with this crazy pants stuff so thereās a chance that I recognized more than what most people will notice.
I doubt that such a thing would happen IRL. That idea as a whole feels alien to me. But then again, Iāve seen what bad people with āends justify the meansā mentalities and resentment can do in highly controlled and regulated environments, no augmentations necessaryā¦ And I also know a lot of peaceful people that have the capability of doing massive amounts of damage without having to face any consequences.
Sure, horrible people seek powerā¦ But if you take the āitās a gameā aspect out of it, power stops ācorruptingā you. Besides, the side quest checkboxes made the whole commentary on this matter completely empty IMHO. In other words, I agree, they did not make things about moral decisions. Or if they tried, they failed.
Might City is one type of environment that pushes me away TBH. But Iām a weirdo with dual citizenship and I have no problem packing my bags and leaving if a place doesnāt suit me.

For me it was no manās sky.
I wanted to love that game so much. It had promise. I wanted it to be what Star citizen was supposed to be.

I want to go for as much machine as possible, but yes, Smasher is a bit large. But Iād take it as long as I can get a head without the weird flesh colored bits.
Although Iād rather be this handsome:
But I donāt see the point in carrying that much stuff.

If I had the option Iād prefer to be more late series Toonami Tom. Not the earlier series where he looked like Marvin from the hitchhikers guide (sorry pilgrim)

I prefer something with more details and complexity:
Donāt forget about wheels, digitigrade legs, and other non human things that could be worth a try.
And while Iām not a fan of looking like a car, these āhandsā could be interesting to try:

The best part about becoming mostly or fully robotic, is we wouldnāt need to truly decide what body to have.
It could be switched day to day, or at least pieces could. Sure, it would be reasonable to expect a certain core frame that would be more protected and harder to swap out, containing the more sensitive bits, but the limbs, shells, etcā¦ Swap away.
On my day to day I could be at work in a simple form, with minimal additional bits and pieces and few parts/plates/shells meant for looks alone, and the next I could attend a wedding with a mostly humanoid face capable of expressing some emotional / social behaviors, a smile, a wink, etc.
Wedding head
Day-To-Day-Basic / Utilitarian Body
With the above, a head somewhat similar in form to an iron-man like helmet would be preferred.
As someone who enjoys driving, I wonder how the way we interface with cars could improve. Maybe weād be able to jack into the OBD IV port and have instant, continuous access to nearly all of the data the car has. Maybe weād have access to other cameras integrated into the vehicleā¦

Exactly! But still, you should be able to swap almost everythingā¦
Same preferences. You could add thermal cameras, night vision, etcā¦ Give me all the possible sensors!
And I can tell that youāre a Titanfall fan. You have taste!

Each eye could be a total of two cameras. A somewhat basic high res camera in each eye, and in one eye a thermal camera, the other a camera with a series of lenses meant to zoom in to get a clear view of things a couple hundred meters awayā¦
Phones almost would no longer be required. Just slap an antenna and modem in, and youāre all set.
The possibilities are endless, but I need to come to terms with reality and recognise that I gotta do my day job instead of daydreaming about how I would design a robotic leg from the mid thigh down.

I would hope that once technology advances to this point, a single camera can be all those things at once

I havenāt added anything new for a while.
This is a new addition:
Caveat
Itās not the best
Itāll do the job
It fits nicely inside the pouch.
it will obviously get a new ācleanā blade when required, or maybe it will just be for opening the packagingā¦
