That's gotta be awful, what will you do when it feels itchy?

Maybe she was in a truck accident and only her head remained.

because the girl boss president wanted to make a blackwall AI nuke trigger

Because people are retarded, in fact people already do this sort of retarded shit irl

She didn't even have to do that shit. She could just sit in an ice bath, her setup was just a regular chair in her apartment

They understood the weakness of their flesh and it disgusted them

I wonder what's going on with her reproductive parts

thrown away, after all the girl boss president wanted a WEAPON not a fuck toy

I think the point was that she doesn't care and is too depressed to do anything about it. It's like depressed non chromed out people having messy rooms, bad hygiene, unkempt hair etc.

You only go cyberpsycho if you are a big pussy like yourself.

amazing that she didn't go full cyber-psycho.

She's a woman. You can't go more psycho than that

She got volunteered for it.
Working for the feds, not even once.

To revel in the glory of the Omnisiah's works,

Will I be banned for aimbot if I play vidya with a body like that?

I don't like Cyberpunk. It feels inauthentic that everybody including their grandmother has a fucking cybernetic butthole. I can't suspend my disbelief enough to accept that any person would willingly do this to themselves and also rather look like a total freak instead of natural as possible. It obviously makes sense for Adam Smasher, but not for every god damn person in the city.

In Deus Ex most people are not enhanced at all, or only have the bare minimum like a prosthetic heart, which is aesthetically and narratively much more pleasing.

i dont think you lot understand.
ingame you are replacing most of your body with cybernetics, from your spine down to your rib cage and more. the only thing that isn't removed is your brain where they instead attach things directly to it.

so when you replaced most of your body with cybernetics, the only thing that you can feel is your brain,, for your body you don't feel a thing and living in such a condition is not really shocking that some people go crazy. i mean just imagine being numb from the head down. living in such a state would drive anyone mad

Absolutely freaking this!
If you're born with two normal hands the amount of autism you need to have to WILLINGLY chop one off only to get it replaced by a mechanical one is insane. And that's not even mentioning the needed cost for cyberwear needed to actually use that freaking arm!

I can see celebrities and augmentation enthusiasts in general exposing their robotic bits like how people expose their tattoos or their belly button piercings.
In Songbird's case, it's probably because the president wanted to remind Songbird (and everyone else) that she is just a computer with legs. Aside from that, it's a cool way to represent her struggles and her role in the story.

I wish cyberpunks main plot was about assembling a group of loveable thugs for One Last Heist as opposed to this gay chip in the head bit.

There's feeling receptors for your cybernetics
you just can't feel pain from them

2/3rds of the budget went into getting Reeve's VA. They could've had the game be so much better if they didn't use him.
He's an unbearable massive faggot anyhow.

Phantom Liberty's new ending explains this, actually. For most of the game you interact with other chromed out freaks and those people don't give a shit about looking like monsters because the augmentations turn them into fucking superhumans compared to baseline plebs.
Once you lose them, you become one of the nameless faces in the crowd you never even noticed before. Vast majority of people don't chop off their limbs to replace them with chrome, either because they don't want to or because they can't afford to.

also even during johnny's time, the healing stuff was rare, but they could grow your old human parts back and reattach it if you didnt want too

Holy Reddit!

How come CDPR didn't bother actually making at least one happy ending when they had the chance?

The brain doesn't have pain receptors, that's why some brain surgery occurs with the patient fully awake

The one where you survive seems good enough, what do you mean?

imagine the RAM slots

4 itchy tasty

This bitch sucks. Even though he was a glowie, Reed was a lot cooler.

It's good to show contempt for your audience.

Imagine someone turning your itchy receptors to max and only turning them off after you suck his dick and get him off

Rigging this model seems like a nightmare

That's the "storm Arasaka Tower yourself, kill Smasher, become the boss of Afterlife, and rob the Crystal Palace" ending

glownigger nigger is a bro and actually fulfills his promise, takes responsibility and sets you up with a comfy desk job

schizo AI(DS)-infested bitch fucks you over and leaves you with nothing in the end

Without pain the body suffers in silence

corporations convince people IRL to buy all sorts of stupid shit

"wud du fuck?!?! how could corporations convince people to install cybernetics?!"

when they're actually right because you will be seen as inefficient and replaced if you don't keep up in the work place

when the only path to escaping the corporate hell is to engage in an underworld that is also cutthroat and full of people who will run laps around you if you aren't as chromed up as them

when the only escape from abject poverty are a series of wars where the military orders you to be filled with cybernetics to be viable on a battlefield

"HOW DID PEOPLE DO ANY OF THIS?!"

Lorelets get ye gone.

She sends you a gift from the moon

it would be extremely painful

This is retarded.

Has Poland never heard of automation before?

I want to cum on her back so bad

me when i'm checking out someone using the disabled parking spot

From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the Blessed Machine. Your kind cling to your flesh, as though it will not decay and fail you. One day the crude biomass you call a temple will wither, and you will beg my kind to save you. But I am already saved, for the Machine is immortal… Even in death I serve the Omnissiah.

NOO I NEED TO GET MY CLOSURE AND GOOD ENDING NOO

fuck off
honestly for such a girmdark setting that cyberpunk is the endings were pretty fucking tame

In Songbird's case, it's probably because the president wanted to remind Songbird (and everyone else) that she is just a computer with legs

More like she did it to herself to become even more hackerman. We see through her flashback just how netrunning cost her everyone around her until she got scooped up by the feds.

Cyber-Based

her setup was just a regular chair in her apartment

It was a netrunning chair. Cooling is buit in to those setups.
If we're to make wildly imaginative speculations, whatever the feds have her regularly hacking into probably makes her run so hot that having her mechanical bits be able to come in direct contact with whatever cooling agent they use is beneficial to her not frying her brain.

You're confusing TTRPG game mechanics with actual lore. Cyberpsychosis is inconsistent but you can 1000% say Song Mi is already a cyberpsycho even before you meet her thats the entire reason MaxTac captured her in Dogtown, especially if you do her Moon ending, at one point she literally succumbs to and channels Blackwall AI and for a brief period is the strongest person in history able to instantly kill even Elite Special Forces Soldiers and mechs.

POLEsmith

not pole

I don't believe you

why don't they also replace their brains with cybernetics?

PONDsmith.
Also he's black.

Its just retarded fictional design, no sane person would walk around like that.
Imagine a sudden shower being lethal to you...

They do but but only really as a last resort and it only became commercially available in 2077 with the whole Relic Project that the game revolves around. Before that Soulkiller just made a digital copy of a human psyche, now with a Relic you can reupload that back into a human body, ideally the case being your own say after you die in an accident.

It's not like we have mentally ill men walking the streets with their dicks chopped off.... wait...

That's not really replacing your brain with cybernetics though. It's replacing someone else's brain with yours. If I remember correctly the game states that Johnny was basically overwriting V on a genetic level.

That's because the Relic V uses is 1000% not meant for him. The actual use of the technology is to put your own engram back into your body or a clone body. Not to overwrite someone else. V is experience a freak accident and an unintended side effect of the technology.

The one where Johnny gets the body is as happy as it gets

become an absolute jobber

fuck that, you also have to side with literal CIA niggers for it, no way, man.

And yet, for them a Doorknob wont be a pontially lethat encouter

Maybe the cover plates would break the bank

clone body.

Cloning tech is shit in CP. That's why the tech for relic exists. Saburo already tried the cloning route and shit just wasn't viable for prolonging life.

You just know people would actually do that as bdsm roleplay

The augs in Cyberpunk also look like hot dogshit because CDPR is full of talentless hacks. At least in DX and other stuff the visible implants look cool enough that you could imagine someone voluntarily getting built in sunglasses or whatever.

Imagine degaussing your own nervous system

Normally, you wouldn't. But Songbird is a very special case. Her cyberware is unique. and most likely highly experimental. She is basically a kitted out gaming PC with custom liquid cooling.

only reason i can think of is eternal life

While I don't think it ever was "explained" in game (and the real explanation is rule of cool/ thematically in line with the character) my personal understanding is that she's a hacking machine. She's not normally exposed to the elements or physical danger because as far as the NUSA are concerned she's a high maintenance computer: a piece of hardware they need easy access to for maintenance and upgrades.
But again I think CDPR artists most likely reasoned much more simply that the computer woman should look like a computer when you meet her IRL
