Where's the love for biomodding?
| Hell to the yeah!
| Did you read the news lately, though? People like us are getting targeted. :/
| Well i heared that Biomodding is in Some countrys illegal... somtimes i wish it wasn't. But i guess thats why there are less Biomodders out there.
| The problem with bioware is that it's a lot harder to deal with rejection symptoms. It's a lot easier for a street doc to remove a chromed up arm compared to augmented muscle tissue.
| >Non aesthetic purposes.
Ohhhh, I thought you were talking about getting work done for cat ears and such. owo I didn't know you were talking about... >those augs.

It depends on the starting point and getting the right DNA scaffold right since the start.
-ACB
| Untapped market potential.
-Ether
| Probably due to the limitations involving it compared to mods.
| How many of you would go to a buissness for safe bio modding by trained professionals
| -Ether
| Yes, though I dont really want that remembered as an actual event, it was a test.
-Ether
| It's really hard to upgrade something that's become your body, and augs make that easy. But it has a lot of potential if you do it right.

| There was a guy in the bazaar thread hawking new limbs to graft onto yourself. Not sure how legit it was, haven't seen any of their work around city.
I would imagine the applications would be mostly cloning organs to make them work better but he advertised some chimera limb shit. Is that even possible?
| >>284324
Yes the most of it involves cloning of organs. What current esthetic modifications there are all use what is known as "affinity conditioning" technique to get the body accept the affected areas that change shape: the ears, the tail. It is controlled growth of tissue in isolated areas so to speak. It is trial and error as fuck to fight incompatibility and most importantly, the affected tissue from turning carcinomic and spinning out of control while escaping rejection.
| As of the chimera limbs, probably the same principle applies if attaching a limb from one species to the body of another one, by focusing at the 'neutral' area where the join takes place.
If they meant a hybrid mixture of the two, however it is achieved, it will be very problematic in the long run. There is only so far the metabolic process can sustain its own original tissue, let alone a completely different composition with different requirements.

I mean like me, I would stay away from VeriaTech, they seems like the type of company to make intentional defects that can only be repaired by them, you know?
-Ether
| Bio-mods are fairy shit, and I aint dealing with that
| >>284407 Mechano-electronic augments as they currently exist, and biotech, have little in common.
The big players and most everyone are stalled in biotech research. VeriaTech for eg., promised a lot, since 15 years ago. Despite their huge facilities and the big spendings in R&D, not much has changed.

Not sure if they would make *intentional* defects, but I'd bet zenny that the origins of what gene modding they already have isn't the most wholesome. -Spire

| >>284900 With a magic wand, or if you have friends from an alien race to provide with a 'black box' kind of thing to do it, yes you can. Otherwise only a marketer gives promises for a scientiffic cumulative process.
There are people who already have achieved way better results than what you find mainstream. There is a reason though why they all do not try to commercialize and 'tap' on this 'potential'.
-ACB
| I mean. As a lilim I can't 'biomod', but the appeal for aesthetic mods in some lines of work makes sense.

| >>287228 An A.I. rom image has just been switched on for the first time and has discovered the world and how to write h4x0r 57y13? How cute.
| Just gonna mod myself a tentacle dick TBH
| I mean that is an option... But it'd be nicer to find some ladies who like the whole tenta bondage thing.
Anyway I can't think of anything practical for biomods besides replacing the organs I've ruined
| Aesthetic gene mods? Are they still around? Eww, my parents had those! I was born with club feet and a purple eye because of a bonky gen1 mutation.

Problem was no one set my baby feet. Ended up in donated leg braces. That was humiliating. Surgery didn't happen until I was five, and I still walk a little funny because of how I learned.
As for my eye, it works, and it's enough. When people see ears and a tail, they're not going to notice one of your eyes ain't brown.
-YSS
| >>291267 Of course they won't. Amidst all the half metal faced ones and partial mechanoid heads you see everywhere, eyes with different colour are actually quite nice and stylish.
-ACB
| I got horns and super muscles, is that the same kind of thing as this Biomodding thingy?
-Ibaraki
| Well i got biomodded to look like an anthropomorphic cat and got my eye color changed but i never actually used them for non-aestetic shit, i use normal augs for that
| >>293619
You mean you got hairy genes and a buttload of skelly surgies to make you look like another species. Did you pay pumped up genemod prices for it? Is it a subscriber service?
| >>293921 the bone surgeries were technically done by a modded automatic surgery table ran by an old ai i wrote and the fur was done by a Ballard genetics guy who i threatened to wipe his memories... But i think it would normally cost around 50k zenny more or less.

| I see everyone getting augged, or wired, or whatever, but no one seems to be interested in grabbing gene mods for non-aesthetic purposes and that makes me feel sad. Gene-mod lovers, unite!
