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?

      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.

    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

    Cyber eyes. I have thick glasses and a lot of floaters, so many that I cannot even tell if my glasses are clean or not most of the time.

    But naturally they’d need to look natural and be with zoom, infrared, night vision, a camera function and a video playing function (no wireless functions though).

    I wanna see the hype about regular colour. I’ve got red green blue yellow colourblindness. I wanna see how things are meant to be coloured.

    New skin. It doesn’t need to be fancy, just no more scars and a better fit.

      A skin that isn’t trying to kill itself would be pretty high on my list. Along with parts that are falling apart from old age. But I’m not sure those would be augmentations so much as bug fixes.

    I have a rare lung condition, so I’d want a full double lung transplant and new heart. Maybe just make my chest entirely clear like a computer case.

    And chop off both of my feet and give me something new. Not for any real reason, I just hate feet and would rather have springs or something else.

    I’ve often wished for a searchable brain. No more not being able to think of that thing or someone’s name or what exactly happened when.

    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.

    A way to monitor and regulate body chemistry or neural action would be nice. Change and directly see my stress and sleepiness levels, regulate pain at will if necessary etc. I think there would be tons of uses for things like that.

    A math coprocessor would be nice. Ability to instantly know the answer to equations I see, and ability to do large calculations in my head.

    Also, some sort of interface port where I could upload skills or information, matrix-style. And it would have to be a physical port, no fucking way I’d want that available wirelessly.
