You mean the player character's bomb, right?

Also, Cortex bombs are lame and lazy plot- & storywriting.

Wait, that's illegal, I think...

Mac and cheese for dinner is lame and lazy too, but also fucking delicious. TTRPGS are something your friends put together for you out of love, not necessarily some clinically perfect professional product. And to extend the metaphor, if you go to a dinner party and start bitching about your friend not plating the food like a Michelin star place, you're an asshole.

I agree with both. It is lazy, yes. But it is also meant to be fun, and Shadowrun is a particularly goofy game (cyberpunk, with fantasy creatures, ghosts, gods, and magic? How can you take it seriously?) so being a super solid story isn't extremely important. It's also literally the first suggestion in the rulebook for getting players to cooperate. 🤣
