    Dude the cybernetic shit is the least likely thing and even if it worked well, the worst thing to get. It’s always a trap, even in the fiction.

    You like upgrading your phone? Being spied on? Spending thousands on a device that is designed to break every few years so you buy another?

    You want your fucking limbs to be like that?

    The best cybernetic limb would interface perfectly with your body. It wouldn’t need outside energy, and use energy from food you consume. It would give you an interface you’re familiar with, because you spent years learning how to use what you have. It would heal wounds on its own, not need repairs! It would perfectly relay sensory information to your brain as your existing limbs do. It would use nanotech to repair itself. It would be trainable, get stronger as you use it more. It would adapt to how its used.

    …all of that is what biology is. Biology is inherently the perfect cybernetics after millions of years of evolution.

    The only reason to ever get cybernetic limbs is because you lose limbs or aren’t born with them, disabilities and such. It will be that way for a long long long while. Games are extremely unrealistic about this. Anything you’d want would be closer to genetic modifications and biology than cybernetics.
