@René Dario 🇺🇲🇲🇽🐧🎮💻🕵🏽🧑🏽💻🏋️ For me, a full skeleton replacement is completely out of the question just given how invasive such a procedure would be. Whether it would be done in one operation or multiple, we're talking of being in excruciating pain for at least several months. Is it worth it outside of a very specific use (like fighting crime in spandex)? I think not.
@renedario it's real though, there is no universal time, it has been (kind of) proven already. And even beyond physics time _observation_ is also non-constant, so your sense of time may (and does) speed up and slow down almost constantly. So it works. (A Sandevistan helps anyway.)
@grin @René Dario 🇺🇲🇲🇽🐧🎮💻🕵🏽🧑🏽💻🏋️ Oh your sense of time can change, but your biological process doesn't care, it's going to take the time it needs to adjust to the synthetic parts. And it possibly will make you feel the time go slower in the process. 😄
I remember at least one research where they checked the healing speed of patients in various mental state and happy, relaxed, well fed and slept people heal faster, while stress make it heal slower. Sure, probably it is related to the energy balance but it seems that your biological process can be sped up or slowed down as well. But yeah, slow acclimatisation makes time crawl.
…"feeling time slow" reminds me a description of a weapon in the mentioned Cyberpunk2077 (namely the Caretaker's Spade): "it is not lethal but they will wish it was"
@grin That's why I like non-lethal takedowns and weapons in video games. On one hand, it spares innocents that cross my path, and it feels like a punishment worse than death for the guilty.
except in said game non-lethal weapon animations aren't quite thought out so it's possible to shoot someone with a non-lethal gun and their limbs will cover the whole area yet they're not dead, only stunned. 😆
@grin I have on occasions took out a chunk of people's head with a "non-lethal" weapon. It wasn't even a sniper rifle, just a pistol, but I consistently do 800 damage critical headshots from stealth with it. Made me feel slightly bad each time. I even tried to use a pistol with a lower base damage stat just in case.
@Michael Vogel Knee replacement is already available so it doesn't feel in the scope of the question. And what more do you need to do with your hands that you can't do right now?
@silverwizard I mean, I should have known that my audience is mainly corpo-sceptical luddites in poor health, I'm not sure why I'm surprised nobody's excited about IRL cyberware.
The liver. If your heart fails, you die, sure, but if your liver fails it's gonna be a long painful agony (I'm talking months if not years) before you kick the bucket (you can guess I have some associated trauma about this).
So liver it is.

I'm laughing, I had exactly the same feeling, like, "god man, I do not want to kill you, why don't you get the hint from that I only use my fists?" The game don't support non-killing instincts.
The opposite was Metal Gear Solid V, which is (by default) a sneak game and disprefers killing, but for me it was too hard to sneak... (I haven't even finished it for that, even that it was very well done.)
@grin Have you played Deus Ex: Human Revolution (2012)? Stealth is also encouraged, although it is punctuated by a few annoying boss fights where stealth is useless.
I had some other Deus Ex but I did not like it at all, apart from the fact that it required more GPU power than I had. But yes, it was also kind of stealth. I usually prefer point&click adventures 😉 Still, I liked the three Tomb Raider game due to their beautiful graphics, but it was a killing spree. 😕
@grin At this point you have to be really specific about which Tomb Raider games you are referring to, as well as Deus Ex games. Both series had an older run and a younger run.
The Nexus-9 was the first line of replicants created by the Wallace Corporation after acquiring the rights from the bankrupt Tyrell Corporation in 2028.
