Good news! No need to wait for unofficial servers. Over a year ago they opened a feature called safer seas where you can play without PvP!

The solution to that isn't to post even more blatantly state controlled media just with a different flavor of boot sole.
Come on now.
Do we have any info on how long after that until it hits streaming?
Silverhand is explicitly a high functioning cyberpsycho in the tabletop RPG books. His "breaks" manifest as his hand talking to him. It's one of his notable character tics. In the books it's a big part of why he thought he could pull off the Arasaka bombing.
More info than anyone needs:
Mike Pondsmith, the creator of the setting, has said that cyberpsychosis shouldn't be treated like a pure numbers game set of RPG rules. It's intentionally modeled after real world drug addiciton. Some people will naturally have higher or lower tolerances, and having a strong support system around you like V's usually blunts the effects. It's countered by a stat called humanity, and Pondsmith has stated that a person's own beliefs about how human they are can impact it.
Cyberware was slightly rarer when Johnny was running around, he's an AWOL soldier with untreated PTSD, and he has a pretty shit "support system" mostly due to his own actions. Given the views he already spouts about corporations, people, and the world in general it's not hard to imagine that he's not stable without the arm. He doesn't have a high opinion of his own humanity. The arm then becomes a constant reminder of the humanity he's lost/given up.
Adam Smasher is explicitly a socio/psychopath already, before cyberware, so there's no humanity for him to lose.
V has Johnny in his brain to effectively act as a second "person" to help soak up the negative effects. Plus, videogame. Bend the rules to allow a better power fantasy.
Wow, only over a decade since this problem was first demonstrated at defcon and the community started finding ways to detect this themselves!
Glad to have this feature natively, but come on Google.
I still spend 30 minutes as an adult when I can, except now it's just enjoying the warm and stretching. Extra time with the humidity helps my sinuses too.
And the Police won't investigate because of whatever mental gymnastics of the day they come up with to avoid the paperwork.
"You never actually recieved it, so it was never your property to be stolen." Or something.
Everyone knows that if you don't eat the cork then you aren't getting your money's worth.
It's been hours now (and a very busy day), but I swear that half of that comment (including that section) wasn't there when I commented regarding safer seas.
But there's no mark showing the comment has been edited either.
Scurvy must be eating me brain.
