One Weird Trick that raises augmentation performance by over 200%! (Scientists hate them!)
| So what's the trick!?
| FUCKING CLICKBAIT GOD DAMN IT!!!!!
| I'm surprised people still fall for this ancient trick.
| FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
| ONE WEIRD ANCIENT TRICK TO INCREASE CLICK RATE BY 1000%! (SYSADMINS HATE THEM!)
| Wow. Just...wow.
-Fuschia Fedora.
| Clickbait, the age old trick that still works
| This brings back bad memories

| I have had it with this neo-life-hack trend.
First it's making avocado toast with lemon. Then it's making your own body mods out of JB weld. Or worse, rigging up your own, untested augs, without ANY training... Or sterilization.
Autodocs can install just about anything into you but if you just follow some Buzzfeed article you're going to get a rootkit in your shit... Or an infection.
Don't do ANYTHING to your rig unless you know exactly why.

| Wait. Buzzfeed still exists? Damn, strong ass media outlet I guess.
| Its even worse than it used to be actually, I was fucking surprised
-OS
| >>157764 Yeah. I wasn't super impressed with their exposé on Lone Star corruption (didn't cite their sources. AGAIN) and their vidcon coverage is as abysmal as their cyberware column. Still, their journalism quality usually isn't that bad
| Huh. The more you know. Maybe I'll have to look out for Buzzfeed. Do they still go by the same name? I would figure they'd have had a name change by now.
| >>157797 It is an outdated name. And no, I'm not that old. But honestly, the name just sounds...old, like its ripped straight from the '10s. Like, the Augmented Eye actually reflects this era. Buzzfeed doesn't. Like, why not "Staticfeed" or something?
| >>157807 brand recognition? They did try to rebrand a couple times. When they were HassFeed-Brawndo they lost a lot of their non-soda addict readers, and they weren't very choosy with sponsors - search 'Dildogate'.
They did some sponsored content for Torgue Co and Cubby Blast under the same name.... Actually Torgue was OK.
Also, when's the last time you even saw static?
| (ooc: Brawndo... now that's a name I have not heard in a long, long time.)
| (feels good to find another Shadowrun player on the board for once. ^^)
| >>157860 cool. To get back on track, any Weird Tricks that Doctors Hate on them old servers? Vintage lifehacks could be interesting
(OOC: not a Shadowrun player, interested though. Mostly I like speculating about our shitty cyber future. Also, Brawndo is an Idiocracy thing I thought?)
| >>157879 I found a still running website, hosted in mexico about getting rid of body fat in one week using grandma's weird tricks, also so many adds about getting rid of signs of old age, as tested in [City name] (doctors hate this one trick that drives them bankrupt). Ah yeah, and so much "Hot singles in your area [City name]"
-OS
| You aint gonna find any good tricks, just a few laughs.

(Brawndo is, I'm just surprised to see that name again this far into the future. ^^;; it's not related to Shadowrun. But I noticed that you mentioned Lone Star and figured you were referring to Lone Star Security Services, the private law enforcement in Shadowrun.)
| Just dip ur augments in energy drink (tip: apply tear drops if eye augments)
