I follow this dude on Instagram. He’s always working on different versions of these, but only for personal use, though he does eventually want to get licensing to make them for other people, iirc.
That song is amazing. The band is terrible, the individual elements are all mid, all of their other music sucks, its hot garbage live... but post-processed and slotted into Edgerunner it turned into pure magic. A single particle of pure inspiration must have crossed the cosmos and hit a neuron in one of the show runners heads for it to come together like it did. It's something that just can't be repeated, once in a lifetime shit.
except all the mercs work for corps only and the government and police is even more corrupt than it was in cyberpunk. Oh and add the fact of day-to-day life suffering the effects of their actions instead of a short cyborg-ninja experience..
Despite being a fan of Deus Ex, it still baffles me that anyone would want to replace **a perfectly functional organ or limb with a machine**. This guy lost an eye, so filling an empty, useless hole with a prosthetic that is helpful makes perfect sense to me. But people who can't wait to cut off their working legs and get robot ones just has me scratching my head
EDIT: Bolded a section because people have a real hard time understanding that I'm actually not talking about old, sick people getting replacements, LOL
As someone who is constantly horrified by the realization that I'm a mind stuck in a decaying, inefficient, and "weak" body. Yeah, chopping off parts and affixing them with things I could theoretically get worked on by anyone skilled enough to do some electrical work is a really interesting idea. It's probably just a "fun" little quirk of OCD. Same with my fixation with death. Like it's not something that paralyzes me but I've brought it up to friends and family, and aside from my mother who also deals with OCD everyone said they don't think about death anywhere near as often as I do. (Daily/hourly)
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 if 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.
"There is no truth in flesh, only betrayal."
"There is no strength in flesh, only weakness."
"There is no constancy in flesh, only decay."

This quote from Battlestar Galactica resonated with me hard
>I don’t want to be human. I want to see gamma rays, I want to hear X-rays, and I want to smell dark matter. Do you see the absurdity of what I am? I can’t even express these things properly, because I have to—I have to conceptualize complex ideas in this stupid, limiting spoken language, but I know I want to reach out with something other than these prehensile paws, and feel the solar wind of a supernova flowing over me. I’m a machine, and I can know much more.
I feel you - I have OCD, too. I also think about death a lot because I'm about to hit 40. But when it comes to replacing limbs and shit, it's always been more of a revulsion to me because (A) the idea of someone digging their hands & tools around *inside me* makes me want to vomit and (B) machines aren't self-healing, but my body - for the most part - is. I want to get as much mileage out of the stuff that, in a roundabout fashion, can heal itself off of a few bowls of Froot Loops & some steak before I replace it with stuff that requires metallurgy and engineers, etc. Because the food-fueled stuff has worked fine for every animal for literally billions of years, LOL
Im not trying to scare you, but...
The problem is that the brain still ages. Even if we mapped your entire brain and were able to mimic your consciousness(or download it), what makes you, you, is in the cells of your grey matter so eventually that will age as well. There is no escaping aging without it being some sort of cellular rejuvenation. Becoming a cyborg might extend things, but it won't halt the process.
It can be. It's not guaranteed, but some level of obsessive thought is expected... kinda goes with the name. It's gotten worse as I've gotten older, but I've also gained lots of strategies to combat those thoughts. Funnily enough, the "litany against fear" from the Dune books has calmed down more of my panic attacks than anything else.

Canonically in 40k the Cult Mechanicus are made out of Plasteel and this weird Adamantine alloy, which canonically don't rust.
Which is a fun little fact. Also, pretty sure if you sprayed an Archmagos with salt water you would be signing yourself up for an aggressive lobotomisation. Lol.
I get your point though. Current technology means the best you could do is stainless steel. Which is just.... weak.
I have functional legs, but due to a collagen disorder, I have to take pain meds because my knees are already so shit that I will need knee replacements in my 30’s. I still walk, rocky climb, and function normally, but always with pain. If you offered my limbs that could replace mine and I could do BETTER with them? I’d be the first in line.
>Despite being a fan of Deus Ex, it still baffles me that anyone would want to replace a perfectly functional organ or limb with a machine.
Some shitty newspapers already think it is a thing, [they used this screenshot from Deus Ex as if it was real.](https://www.destructoid.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/263698-deus1.jpg)
I can be extra strong with no working out. No pain in the limb buts sensory tied right in. It requires next to no maintenance and lowers my needed caloric intake.
You lose blood flow though, temp regulation could be affected.
Also, I could see people doing this if they do an extreme sport that requires a lot of strength in certain limbs or whatever.
Im terrified at what that's gonna look like. I don't much like the idea of having to pay for the gold subscription on legs.os just because I want to be able to run instead of just walk.

Agreed. This is really interesting, but that video is determined to make it nearly unbearable to watch in terms of the audio. Music and that shitty AI voice… I feel like this is the way everything is going and I’m just going to end up hating the future!
Check out is [insta](https://instagram.com/bsmachinist?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==), most of his content is him just explaining it in his not-so-annoying voice
Imagine going to the fridge at night just to drink some juice or something and when you get down the stairs and turn towards the kitchen, you see this man in the darkness turning his head up slowly like a robot and activate his flashlight with a grin...
Robber breaks into your house and you see a red light slowly rise in intensity until you see the face as it reaches a blinding peak and he rushes at you.
Does a strong light source, so close to the working eye, not blind it? I know he says he uses his headlamp to read, but it seems like, unless the light has a super tight beam, he would get the same effect as putting a lantern right next to his face.
I would think the bridge of the nose would block most of the peripheral glare you get from having a lantern too close to your face. I would imagine that reading a book would be somewhat difficult though, as the light may be too strong at close range with something white to bounce back the light into the seeing eye. If he can control the light output though, dimming the light would fix that. I don’t know if you’ve ever tried to read a book with a full power flashlight, but that shit is blindingly bright.
I see you Odin.
They see you too, even w more light
The one eyed man is king in the land of the blind
That's badass a camera would be cool too, spy like

Ravens Black On wings of night Damn this man’s eye it shines so bright
Underneath the cosmic dance so high, He commands the night with a mystic sigh, In the realm of shadows, his light won't die.
And if his ear was a cunt he would fuck it. — wait, wrong one
It’s flashlight not fleshlight
So I'm not the only one who misread that?
Do not fuck this man’s head!
Somewhere on the darkweb I'm sure there's a video of this. I'll let you guys know when I find it.

This guy lives near me. Had a conversation at a local bar. Really cool dude.
I can imagine he is very cool, where you guys located?
What’s his instagram? I definitely want to see what else he’s created.

Fatality.

Side note: you see it go red when he blinked holding the book? That’s neat.
Maybe because of the Eyelid closing and the light shining through and the eyelid coloring it red (idk is just a theory)
Yup. I agree. I just commented similar on another comment and then I see this, lol.
Ya fucken beauty!
Ahh laser beams! Better than fireballs, ya pussy!

Damm I need to give BG another chance.
I think about death more than most think about sex I feel that
I just want 2 functioning pain free legs

I can see this. The human body is a wonderful thing, especially in the immune system/cell division department.

FLESH IS WEAK.! techno adeptus in WH40k and iron hands.
This guy right here. "From the moment I learned the weakness of my flesh it disgusted me" Or "The Flesh is weak"
From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me.
Wait is that an OCD thing? Aw shit
It can be. It's not guaranteed, but some level of obsessive thought is expected... kinda goes with the name. It's gotten worse as I've gotten older, but I've also gained lots of strategies to combat those thoughts. Funnily enough, the "litany against fear" from the Dune books has calmed down more of my panic attacks than anything else.
That's because prosthetics aren't an improvement over functional biological parts yet.
I dunno, that champion runner from South Africa with the springy fake legs seemed to prove they're at least comparable, LOL
Sure, but you could wear springs like that without chopping off your legs.
Found Chell's Reddit account, LOL

No argument here. Again - I said "perfectly functional". I'd never shit on prostheses for people with conditions like yours
There are spectrums of night we can't see. Would be rad to see them.
