Funny things that I think probably happen with cyberware more often than Pondsmith and CDPR would write in the text but I just think they're neat if only from a wordbuilding perspective:

  • Hair getting caught in your deep dive port when you try to plug the link in.
  • Your sleeves getting stuck in the seams of your arm cyberware when the mechanisms retract back in.
  • Mantis blades accidentally shredding your long sleeves when you flex them.
  • A ripperdoc not having your exact shade of skintone on your new limb, and telling you to wait to get it replaced while it's on backorder.
  • Blue Screen of Death on netrunner 'ware.
  • Needing to register the new fingerprints on your hand if you get it replaced with a cybernetic, and the complications of having two hands that might not match up printwise.
  • People 'tattooing' the chromed parts of their body via laser engraving.
  • Metal plating getting so hot during the summer that you accidentally burn yourself trying to scratch your nose.
  • Forgetting to deslot shards and accidentally carrying them around in your head for a week.
  • Needing to clean the gunk out of your mantis blades or projectile launcher at home, so you flex it open and scrub at it with a bunch of paper towels or a bristle brush for an hour.
  • Rust and tarnish cleaner being a staple in home cyberware maintenance.
  • Actually buying projectile launcher rounds.
  • Someone starting a Mythbusters/Jackass style TV show about cyberware ("Hey gang! Today we're asking 'Is it possible to punch through a 3-foot cinderblock wall using only seven-gen Gorilla Fists?'")
  • Just generally playing with your personal link. Strumming it. Spinning it. Thwacking people with it. Built in fidget toy.
