I don’t have a problem with cybernetic augmentation, I mostly would have a problem with the state of technology companies. I likely wouldn’t choose to get any because I would not be able to trust them. However, if I could get any sorta (relatively) basic augmentation, it would be built in headphones. Like to just be able to “hear” music and podcasts and audiobooks. My focus wouldn’t even be upgraded hearing or anything.

So do y’all have any similar quality of life augmentations you would want?

    Some kind of general pain suppression.

    You could turn it off, if you’re into that and sometimes pain let’s you know there might be a problem, but the endless agony people go through would end.

    Improved eye (singular), a second thumb on right hand, internal physical storage, modular left arm with power tool extensions, a nose and jawline that are very clearly technological but don’t do anything else, and a set of integrated wheelies

      Similar to this, or perhaps in obtaining it, perfect memory recall and retention

      As someone with misophonia, this is the one augment that will have me standing in line to be among the first to sign up. I would love nothing more than to be able to mute my girlfriend’s annoying birds and their stupid repetitive screaming.

      All those features you mentioned, plus the ability to focus my ears on specific sounds while eliminating the rest. Sign me the fuck up.
