The incredible, sci-fi point-&-click adventure game Technobabylon is about people who chose to install such "wetware" into their brains and people, like the protagonist, who refused it. It's good stuff.

    Isn’t it also a major plot point in Cyberpunk 2077? Like, the plot point?

    No? The protagonist definitely does not avoid installing chips in their body

    You must rectify that, IMMEDIATELY. It is one of THE most excellent games I ever ever played. BELIEVE ME, I know a good game when I play one.

    Thank you for your attention to this matter.

    Nah, but seriously it's an excellent game that's worthy of your time. Go play it!

    I know... but my real-life backlog of tasks, not even counting my games backlog, is so massive... I'll try to find some kind of balance... Maybe in the winter when I can use that one hyper-realism mod and warm up my bedroom from the cold weather LOL!

    I was going to play it and then it had all of these performance issues and bugs so I never bought it, and then by the time they fixed it, I'd lost interest. I am in exactly the same position with No Man's Sky, I know that it's much better now but I've also kind of moved on from it.

    No man's sky is an ocean wide and a puddle deep. It's a lot better than before, but the core gameplay couldn't impress me then, and it still can't now.

    Cyberpunk is ... An experience. I played it day one, was bummed about the state of things and dropped it for years. I came back with 2.0, and it is like a different game. It's stable, looks great, has so much atmosphere that you can nearly taste it and plays smoothly.

    And if you liked modding Skyrim, this thing is a great buy. If it's on sale, give it a try, you won't be disappointed, I promise.
