Gender and cyberpunk rpgs (+, I promise) 

A cyberpunk game where instead of transhumanism making you less a person, combating your dysphoria makes you more a person.

"But Kos, that's not punk!"

Fuck you it's 2019. Being wholesomely into self care and supporting that in others is Punk now.

@Motodrachen @Draekos Only if they think very shallowly about how tightly human experience and tool usage is welded together. Consider the following: Glasses are primitive cyberware augmentations. Those tiny flashlights you clip onto a hat or wear on a strap around your head are primitive cyberware.

@kelseyhusky @Motodrachen I recently had it pointed out that in Shadowrun, the whole "cyberware kills the soul" thing is wrong. It's that magic is like a wifi network and the more meat you cut off the body the harder it is to receive the signal.

It's still kinda shitty, but at least it's not like... your soul?

re: Gender and cyberpunk rpgs (+, I promise) 

@Draekos @Motodrachen Oh shit that is such a better interpretation! I hadn't even heard of that being official, but even if it isn't, that's how I'm going to think of it from now on.

re: Gender and cyberpunk rpgs (+, I promise) 

@kelseyhusky @Motodrachen uh apparently it's explained in a splatbook, I'll try to find out exactly which.

It's still kinda eh but it's better at least.

@Motodrachen @Draekos fully agreed! It’s nice to hear someone else say it!
