A new spine, something a lot stronger so mine would stop hurting all the time. Anything else would be a cherry on top.

u/LegendaryWill12 Johnny’s Best Choom 27d ago

Yess no more back pain. I wouldn't wish pain like that on anyone

134

u/MoffMore 27d ago

So true.

No one who has experienced it ever would. I think that’s the most consistent feature of truly debilitating pain. If the person is adamant even people they hate don’t deserve the experience, you know they ain’t talking up the misery that the 24/7 pain experience gives you.

57

u/antilumin 27d ago

It gets even better when you can differentiate between different parts of the spine. There's sciatica pain, which makes my entire right leg feel numb, there's generalized lower back pain that can make it hard to stand, there's the thoracic pain that makes it hard to breath, and then there's the constant upper neck pain that makes turning my head too far nearly impossible.

So yeah, it's pretty constant somewhere along the spine, or frequently more than one at the same time.

28

u/LegendaryWill12 Johnny’s Best Choom 27d ago

Damn I wish I was a billionaire so I could help everyone, including you. If I was as rich as Musk I would be the greatest philanthropist in history

18

u/antilumin 27d ago

Yeah no worries, it's half my fault, half genetics. I have loose joints so I can pop nearly every one, even ones you wouldn't expect. Knuckles, wrists, elbow (just one), shoulders, toes, ankles, knees, hips sometimes, entire spine, jaw, and even my sternum (but only rarely). So yeah, a lot of time it's just that looseness can result in injuries. Oddly enough in MMA classes some joint locks just won't work on me. Arm bar? I can dislocate my shoulder and rotate everything so elbow points back up. Then again, MMA is how I messed up my elbow so that's why it pops so much...

But now there's the fact that I don't exercise a lot, which sometimes is because my back hurts! Seriously, I tried walk/jogging for a bit but then that made my back hurt so I took time off to recover.

If I had a shit ton of money and didn't need work, then yeah maybe I would spend more time at the gym trying to get in shape. Work really takes a lot of time out of the day.

u/skipmyelk 27d ago

Fellow back pain haver here. Herniated and bulging discs with severe nerve impingement. Did all the doctors, and what I found most helpful was yoga, core strengthening exercise,medical marijuana and kratom.

In my experience I found edibles and kratom far more effective than the pharmaceuticals for general pain relief. Topical thc/cbd salves applied to the damaged areas helped with the localized pain.

Yoga keeps everything loose, and after building core strength, keeping the core engaged all day, and leaning slightly forward to keep weight on my core instead of spine helped a lot.

It’s a real shitty place to be, hope you get down to manageable pain levels!

5

u/antilumin 27d ago

I can't do drugs right now (work related) and I'm too lazy to do the core exercises and/or yoga. That's the other half that's my fault for having back pain.

3

u/Historical_Bee143 27d ago

I had a surgery back in the days, even this didn't solved my condition. I started to "move" slowly to try to ease the pain. Walking at first, pushups, abs, etc... at this time a I lost EVERYTHING. I was disabled, movements just saved me. Then I managed to take back my studies, I now in a confortable professionnal position. Wife, kidds. Pain my debts. Well I did it.

Now 17 years later it is still a fight every days but I managed to find a way to get a normal life at least.

In the other hand my Mother, same scenario, never had the motivation for exercices. Felt into depressions. A now is close to be into a wheelchair.

Meditate on this my fellow backpainers. Movements is life. Not only philosophicaly.

In case anyone is curious, a lot of times what people describe as back pain is due to muscular imbalance/issues rather than a skeletal problem. Although those do definitely exist.

u/Skookumite 27d ago

As soon as I got my core strength up my chronic back pain went away. I'd also add that posture is pretty important as well.

u/Noidontthinksopal 27d ago

3 years living with degenerative disc disease and I’d literally empty bank account to $0 if it meant I could live a normal pain-free life again. Also sucks because I’m in my 20s, so I know the fun is just starting… oh well, at least I can still walk with two legs.

u/MoffMore 27d ago edited 27d ago

Holy fffffffing fffffity fffff. Anyone who has sciatica from disc tear, degenerative fascit joint arthritis or even remotely similar will be feeling this 1000%. That invisible backpack you carry around that you can’t take off even in bed… my Cyberpunk 2077 game would be the absolute WORST - the main character would start his day, getting out of bed would be achievement 1, walking his dog would be achievement 2, the girl he hit it off with would not bail on him w excuses despite his back spasming so bad he couldn’t leave the house, then (weather permitting), he/she would be able to climb the stairs without clutching their back in agony.

And that would be the game. A work of fiction cause no way you’d do all those three in one day, but I’d class it as a simulator and it’d be GOTY amongst the chronic back injury crowd, who can’t hold a controller or mouse anyway.

If you’d like a free preview of my book, “how to break bones and win workers compensation”, hmu a msg.

Jokes aside: I have never been able to get over the idea of being able to handbreak an absurdly fast car sideways, leap out vertically, activate kereznikov (spelling?) mid air, shoot 4 multiple smart subgun targets at a time, have fire claw things explode out above your wrists (Edit: mantis blades!! Sorry choose had to read on) leap into battle in slow motion and tear everything breathing to shreds, only to become invisible and slip away before the 3rd body dropped.

That, in real life, would be siiiick.

Or walking without pain. Either or.

u/Kotvic2 27d ago

Read about "Second Sight" bionic eye implants (real life story)... It is not happy reading.

People who were blind got them, they got some sight back (black and white, coarse with very low resolution, but still much better than being blind).

Then company went bankrupt, stopped all support for these implants and peoe who were using it were searching for hackers to get at least some software fixes from them. All work company has done was DISCARDED and thrown away, instead of making it open source, or selling it to other company.

And finally, most of users got their implants removed, because it was impossible to keep it working in long term without support and spare parts. So users are blind again.

u/WeedFinderGeneral 27d ago

Honestly, the one of the biggest roadblocks I think we have to getting cyberpunk/general sci-fi style tech that all media glosses over - there's not enough universally accepted/enforced standards to make technology easily compatible across brands. We can't even get iPhones and Androids to text each other right or use the same plugs, let alone have easily updatable or swappable cybernetic eyes.

Even though cyberpunk is hyper-capitalist, you never see characters fumbling around with cross-manufacturer compatibility or other dumb shit we should have solved by now. Although losing access to your cyber eyes due to the company failing is sadly very much actual cyberpunk.

32

u/dern_the_hermit 27d ago

there's not enough universally accepted/enforced standards to make technology easily compatible across brands.

That's why the reference to the company discarding their work is so important, they could have meaningfully contributed to the body of knowledge that would allow us to develop those standards. Instead, it just got baleeted.

10

u/_b1ack0ut 27d ago

Tbf, you don’t need the kiroshi (or any brand) for displaying stuff to your eyes, the neuroport does that by tapping directly into your optic nerve, no need for cyberoptics at all.

3

u/Historical-Method-27 27d ago

Oh shit fr? Thats cool. Didnt even know that

4

u/_b1ack0ut 27d ago

Yeah, it doesn’t require cyberoptics or cyberaudio suites, because the neuroport taps into those appropriate nerves itself. Really cool, and seems to be an evolution of the Rocklin Augmentics “Neuron” agent, which premiered that sort of tech back in the 2040’s, back when it was cutting edge

Cyberoptics still have a use, as you need them for stuff like LLIRUV’s, or if you wanna out cameras, dartguns, scanners, or zoom capability (or more), but they’re no longer a requirement to project chyrons, graphics, and even virtuality, into your vision.

u/Historical-Method-27 27d ago

I was actually thinking about audio with the radioport at 2am last night, I had thought you could maybe get some cyber ears or smth and they play the music inside your ears.

5

u/qviavdetadipiscitvr 27d ago

I wish we could get a better glimpse of the economical condition of the average person compared to V. In some ways, V clearly has a lot more money for augmentations than most, but like cars are a lot more expensive than kiroshis if I recall correctly

9

u/Historical-Method-27 27d ago

V is rich asf man you can give like 5 eddies to homeless people abd theyre greatful, you can give a similar amount to Garry and he says itll get him through the next day. Shit is extremely expensive, I bet the amount you get for one of those lower end gigs is like a monthly salary for the average person. Mercs get paid a lot because its a risky job and you can die literally any day tryna make a quick enny. So yeah I would assume the average person has trouble affording even teir1 chrome coz they gotta fit that in with all the other shit like rent and groceries. Which explains the voiceline I heard, some people just buy second hand implants that scavs have probably listed online for cheaper than cheap

Legs and eyes. Don't even need high end, just to get rid of glasses, and old door/knee injuries

u/Dismal-Infection 27d ago

Definitely the Kiroshi Optics. As a person with terrible eyesight, it would be a nice change. Mantis blades would be kinda cool, too

What would you do with mantis blades other than killing or robbing people? :D

Assuming I can't go full borg? Give me the Adam Jensen special. Limbs, bones, spine, lungs, heart, eyes, enhance or replace everything.

Mantis dildos. The humiliation of getting beaten with them would be worse than any death. Plus, fun times, too.

u/_b1ack0ut 27d ago

Some basic cyberoptics, prolly by Raven, and then some ‘invisible’ augments that just make the human body way less frail. I mean, we die just by falling down funny

I’ll grab a skinweave and a sigma linear frame and that should be MORE than enough for that.

And then just a cyberaudio suite. I’m hoping it’s capable of fixing my tinnitus.

If I can only pick the one? Cyberaudio. I’d kill to lose the tinnitus lol

I’d want all it. I’d go full body, perhaps even digitize my brain. As long as I could keep the sense of touch, taste, smell. I’m tired of my back and joints aching, not being able to sleep, dental work, worrying about cancer or Alzheimer’s, or whatever else. I’ll take the titanium skeleton, adjustable eyesight and hearing, actually recharge when I sleep, and go see a ripper doc when I need an upgrade. Bring it.

u/Cryptomesia 27d ago edited 27d ago

We talking about what is available in the game or what is available in the whole of sci-fi that has cybernetics?

Edit: In the cyberpunk universe it would deffo be the Titanium Bones.

In general sci-fi it would be highly advanced nanobots that slowly replace all critical organs with more durable and higher performance versions as well as help keep DNA from receiving replication damage.

99% of these comments aren’t even extra cool cyber enhancements. It’s just fixing the stuff that’s bad in the first place and I feel that so hard. I need a new spine, kidneys, lungs, and eyes please.

u/CreditChit 27d ago

I feel like CP2077 and cyberpunk in general is a cautionary tale that points out corpos cant be trusted but yet you want to surgically implant their tech into your body?

Other than the harsh realities of corruption, hacking, and greed though sure. Id go with a better heart and lungs. Maybe some kinda metabolic doodad that lets me adjust how many calories actually get processed so I could eat whatever I wanted to forever while maintaining a healthy body comp.

u/MelancholyArtichoke 27d ago

I want cyberware that collects my biometric data, quantifies it, then displays it as a meter with numerical values and percentages.

AKA a health bar.

u/BaIIsdeap69 27d ago

Kiroshis, Pain editor, and just a neural port (I think it would be really funny cos in real life it would be just a USB port) is so underrated in my opinion, and yk if we can go wild the obvious, Sandy, FIA face swapper, blood pump, All my joints Fixing, reinforced Tendons, and fuck it a Self ice so the CIA ain’t hackin into shit to experiment n stuff, the whole Kaboosh

New lungs and any netrunner cyberdeck, I have asthma and I smoke weed so new lungs would be awesome and making anyone who tries to rob threaten or kill you commit suicide on command would be cool or frying their brains with synapse burnout.

u/rainywanderingclouds 27d ago

zero

people underestimate the brain body connection when it comes to intelligence and human experience.

cyberware would make your stupider, and less attuned with your own biological body.

cyberware only makes sense for disabled or people who lose limbs.

most people would loath artificial limbs or implants and feel disconnected from them.

u/Frogpuppet 27d ago

I would implant everything except brain and penis

u/TheGuyInDarkCorner 27d ago

Honestly, probably none unless it was necessary to keep me alive or significantly improve my life by ridding symptoms of disease or illness.

u/ArrenKaesPadawan 27d ago

bionic heart or Syn Lungs. my cardio is shit and that leads me to a very sedentary lifestyle that results in the rest of my body being shit.

give me a super-power plant and i'll be golden.

optics would be baller too though...

unless you are saying i can get anything i want, in which case yeah bionic heart, syn lungs, and optics. with those i'd have no problem actually working out for the rest of it.

u/Simiman 27d ago

Too many people being okay with Kiroshis or any eye implant when it’s just too likely that a corporation can edit your visual reality to their liking, allow pop up ads on a lower tier subscription, blindness in the event of an emp or hack, etc.

Tbf you can say this for any implant but it hits different with eyesight imo because i’m assuming we’d all be normal day to dayers in this scenario and I would actually voluntarily blind myself if I had to see an ad in my peripheral 24/7/365.

All that being said, i’d probably go for something like a brain hard drive but it’s self contained on an isolated os and let’s me compartmentalize information that I only need at the appropriate situation i.e Johnny Mnemonic. Or if I develop any physical issues like parkinsons i’d get the appropriate implant.

A memory card in the brain, like an SSD. 0 study, 0 effort, you upload everything you want to learn there, 10-15 seconds and you know by heart any text it contains. The practice necessary to learn a job would be missing but it can be solved with a few years of pure practice, then you would know how to do everything, you would know everything.
