Yes
I have thought about this..
And it's a yes from me.
My wife said no. I don't let stupid ethics get in the way of a good cyber Eye though.

Nothing a 5gb patch wouldn't sort out, just as you're reaching for the bog roll

Only if there was a way to disable wifi from my body. Last thing I need is some asshole messing with my senses and memories.
That's one of the big points of Cyberpunk's world that I always found kinda dumb - Everyone is always hooked up to the world wide web (and they just rely on varying levels of security they know isn't foolproof). There are tons of situations where a local network or intranet option would have been advantageous too. Or just unplugging. If you see your pal's head explode, you know your enemy's got a netrunner on their side so what are you doing staying connected?

Hell yeah, i would get eyes, hover legs and definitely sandevistan so i could attempt to avoid car accidents on the way to my 3rd full-time job that ill need to both afford them and eat the same day.
But id rather go to a "back alley butcher" instead of a corpo owned place that will install spyware and remote shutdown malware thatll active if i would miss a single payment on my 5th mortgage.

My shoulders get sore so I'd get some massage/warming implants there. Just a thin layer

Yes I would install cyber implants finding the perfect clinic with a doctor who can assist installing some aggressive mind scanners, you have to at least consider installing cybersecurity devices in your skull.

Only premium Nvidia parts for me, none of that glitchy, generations behind AMD stuff..

Being colourblind I’d absolutely get an eye.
But I’m also down for limbs too if they’re better than what I’ve got.
I don’t even need to be in the cyberpunk world. If I could affordably now I would.

gets x-ray vision. - He thinks he's going to get the fantasy movie version.
- Instead he sees walking nightmare fuel every day.

Call me Adam cause I'm going to be smashing
As much as a love this game some of it is far fetched. A person with mantis blades would have a hard time traveling because they have a deadly weapon built into their arms. Also if Cyberware is that easily hackable that a skilled net runner could kill you just by loading a virus into your brain something would certainly be done about it.

What if all you needed for a good night's rest was a system reboot that lasted 10-15 seconds? Then you're good to go.

True but that seems like you'd be less human than machine at that point
The real practical value is in organ replacement. Failing liver, never fear, HEPATO-BIOWARE is here! Kidneys go out? Just drop in some renal Kirikutisky upgrades and you will be peeing clear in no time! All the combat stuff would be ultra fringe and probably illegal for the masses.
And yeah, robo-dick would be the #1 best seller

Yes absolutely.
Not so much stuff that goes in your head, but sure for ankles, feet, wrists, below the elbow, arms, legs, etc.

Yeah so we don't fully understand all the functions of sleep, but we do know that if you deprive people of their REM sleep, they go fucking bonkers. It'll be the end of the world as we know it
Anyway, until such time as we do figure it out I will be opting out of becoming a psychotic person and besides, what's better that a sweet undisturbed nap?

You think I'm going to try to compete with a natty dong if everyone else is packin cyberware?

Shiiit, I’m already there due to a brief dance with heart failure. Having a built-in defibrillator, when the aliens dig up my corpse I’ll be classified as a first generation cyborg. And sign me up for Musk’s brain implant shenanigans

I don’t think you’d have a choice if you wanted to survive when everyone else is absolutely guaranteed to do it on some level.
