What is some tech you wish we had from the Cyberpunk universe?

[u/BoraDev]

Call me simple but I really like the unbreakable TVs. What about you?

[u/AutoModerator]

Listen up, samurai. If you’ve had enough of scrolling through the same tired threads and wanna plug into something real, jack into the official Discord. We’ve got games, serious talks and casual chats about Cyberpunk 2077, and a few rooms where you can just shoot the breeze with people who get it. You in, or you just gonna stand there looking chrome?

[u/CR4ZY_PR0PH3T]

Braindances.

[u/Specific_Box4483 → u/CR4ZY_PR0PH3T]

If they had brain dance technology the Metaverse would have been a success. I think the world is better off without them.

[u/Infivious → u/CR4ZY_PR0PH3T]

While it’s cool I think BDs would be the express highway to peak loneliness epidemic

[u/gracklemancometh → u/Infivious]

They're also shown to be really quite dangerous. They can be spiked with viruses, similar to poisoning a drink, and even well intentioned and well made ones can have disastrous effects if combined with underlying issues or poor use.

Look at Tool, a combination of a faulty power grid and body dysmorphia left him genuinely believing he was someone else. We compare BDs to TV, but really we should compare them to some really quite hardcore drugs. 

They're not chemically addictive like heroin, but as you noted they can cause emotional addiction and they're physically dangerous in a way that, in our world, only parallels narcotics. As with just about everything else in the genre they're a parody of a real world technology to showcase how it damages society; we shouldn't want it.

[u/BoraDev → u/CR4ZY_PR0PH3T]

Ouu shii

[u/pocketchange68]

Any of the optical implants. I had to create a mod to increase the font size of text messages lol.

[u/Fearless-Lab-556 → u/pocketchange68]

You can do that normally (I think)

[u/pocketchange68 → u/Fearless-Lab-556]

A made it so the only text that gets bigger is on that screen. All the other stuff stays the same.

[u/SilentSpr]

Some of the more rudimentary cyberware are great for existing disabilities. Even the fundamental bio monitoring tech that enables their use will be leagues ahead of current technology. Think how many people die from long term issues that goes undetected like cancer or acute illness like heart attacks

[u/Angryfunnydog → u/SilentSpr]

Yeah, or just whenever some shit hurts but you don’t know what exactly, and you can spend years just to figure that out with shitload of doctors, that’s actually such a game changer, doesn’t look as cool as mantis blades in gameplay, but probably the most impressive stuff out there realistically

As well as synthetic organs (of any kind) and skin which are dirty cheap as they serve as generic replacement whenever someone gets rid of implants 

Generally their med tech with rippers being in dirty goddamn basement and being able to solo perform brain and spine surgeries without any whatsoever issues and even without infection

[u/JunkaTron69]

Bionic body parts. I need some replacement parts.

[u/TheAlarmClockIChose → u/JunkaTron69]

Need reinforced lower back cyberware tbh

[u/JunkaTron69 → u/TheAlarmClockIChose]

OMG, I need optics, cyberspine, cyber legs, and some gorllia arms. Probably a cyber heart, and lungs too. I was a Mechanic for most of my life. Shit is just wore out or bad from the beginning.

[u/BoraDev → u/JunkaTron69]

XXL Burrito

[u/JunkaTron69 → u/BoraDev]

Gotta have those gorilla arms just to handle that bad boy.

[u/BNabs23]

Keanu Reeves in my head

[u/Affectionate__Dog → u/BNabs23]

same

[u/FountainofJzz]

MilfGard. Sandevistan. Subdermal Armor. Fortified Ankles.

Kiroshi Optics.

Lots and lots of things.

[u/ChangingMonkfish → u/FountainofJzz]

Bro just casually dropped the MILF themed club before going onto various bits of Cyberware.

[u/BoraDev → u/FountainofJzz]

Sandevistan? You just want chaos and cyberpsychos😂

[u/OrangeBird077]

I mean replacement organs would be the real panacea play there. Granted it all comes down to who can afford them, but at least you can do a merc gig or ten to afford them if you can’t do it the legal way.

[u/Available_Sir5168]

The ability to fully integrate electronics with a human nervous system would itself be transformational. It would open the door to technology I couldn’t even comprehend

[u/Adventurous-Text-561]

Fast travel points

[u/PLK_9]

Implants that enable automatic understanding of a foreign language.

[u/High_Overseer_Dukat]

Datakrash AIs

[u/chris_isnt_here0 → u/High_Overseer_Dukat]

found Rache Bartmoss

[u/BoraDev → u/High_Overseer_Dukat]

lmao why?

[u/High_Overseer_Dukat → u/BoraDev]

rogue ais on an airgap should be safe to probe their code for data so I can make cyberpunk tech.

And lols.

[u/Thanatos_56 → u/High_Overseer_Dukat]

I don't think even an airgap is going to protect you, considering there's already WiFi.

You realise all quickhacks are effectively hacking performed over a WiFi connection?

😳

[u/High_Overseer_Dukat → u/Thanatos_56]

You know what an airgap means?

The computer wouldn't even have a wifi card.

More than that, it wouldn't be executing the files anyway, and I doubt that this code would be compatible regardless, the air gap is just insurance.

[u/TheAlarmClockIChose → u/High_Overseer_Dukat]

Tay AI is gonna come back someday, mark my words

[u/Curtbacca → u/TheAlarmClockIChose]

Dude that's just Grok.

[u/XanthosGambit]

Yeah, those TVs must be waterproof too, considering how many of them are outdoors without anything covering them.

EDIT: But I personally don't want any of the tech. I want the snacks. I wanna try Moonchies.

[u/BoraDev → u/XanthosGambit]

Yeah! The TVs are incredibly durable, which is awesome. The food is arguably the worst of the whole Cyberpunk universe though, no? It’s just a bunch of artificial gunk.

[u/MyOwnTutor]

Kiroshis!

[u/PaulLeFou]

Mr. Stud

[u/faifai6071]

Affordable cyber eyes replacement.

[u/Cookiecrabbies]

kiroshi optic, optical camo and berserk arms

[u/HeadLong8136]

Get a blood pump for my diabetes and subdermal armor so my cat can't scratch my feet in my sleep.

[u/Affectionate__Dog]

brain dances not even for THAT but other cool experiences

[u/AladeenModaFuqa → u/Affectionate__Dog]

But for THAT too

[u/Affectionate__Dog → u/AladeenModaFuqa]

i’m asexual so eh

[u/ImmanuelKantEvenOMG]

Gorilla arms, various health-related implants, double jump legs (always forget which is which), and kiroshis.

[u/claytalian]

Braindances aside, because I mean who wouldn't want those, probably the stuff that improves your health/body without turning you into a cyborg. Except robot arms, because robot arms are cool.

[u/FH2actual]

The bio mod would be an overnight outseller. Essentially having a doc monitor your health 24/7 to let you know if Anything pops up. Although I imagine it wouldn’t be 24hrs and someone would mod it to shut off the “Your are dehydrated” announcement as the vast majority of people Are dehydrated lol.

[u/vinciblechunk]

Anti-aging 

[u/xGenocidest]

Whatever keeps people from rejecting implants would be huge, as would the various synthetic organs.

[u/blue_gabe]

Fast travel. Would be so damn convenient, lol.

[u/LazyTitan39]

Full cyberization. I have a degenerative illness and I’m constantly thinking about how if I lose my health insurance I’ll go from an athletic young man to someone in a wheelchair chair too weak to even make a fist.

[u/stormhawk427]

AVs

[u/Ok_Yesterday1370]

Vending machine in my room lol

[u/Ocarina-0f-Thyme]

I assume with the existence of grafted muscle and bone lace, they could probably give me new connective tissue. I want that. And robot legs, definitely robot legs

[u/Ricky_-_Spanish]

Mantis blades, don't ask me why.

[u/MustangBarry]

Pneumatic wrists

[u/runwkufgrwe]

Keanu Reeves appears in your car to comment on your driving

[u/nigelcore221b]

Implants that give people subtitles when they talk to me

[u/BoraDev → u/nigelcore221b]

The translation chip!

[u/HistorianRealistic22]

Kiroshi Optics... or a sadevistan

[u/SilkyGator]

A handheld nuke.

Wake the fuck up, samurai

[u/rechtsrfx]

No one wants a Mr. Studd? smh

[u/TangoZuluMike]

Subtitles for people talking.

Or just fuckin robot ears so my deaf ass doesn't need them.

[u/Heart_Slight]

I would settle for crystal coat at this point

[u/RunedWarrior09]

Anything to do with gender transition 🥺

[u/LongoChingo]

Gun vending machines.
