And now I have a new monster for my players to deal with.

I seem to recall actually seeing a stat block for this somewhere.

Personally, I was thinking of starting a #humblebrag thread.

Thread starter:

Please make a comment that shows how awesome you are while trying to still seem like you are being persecuted for being too cool.

My post:
I know it's not popular to love puppies, but I still feel it is necessary to save them from combine harvesters.

Lots of this energy:

Too bad we already live in a cyberpunk dystopia only without the fashion or the cyber gear.

I mean, you can get the fashion pretty affordably from places like Verillas and Crisiswear.

The cyber gear has been half substituted by our cell phones. I remember in Snow Crash when Hiro "goes full gargoyle", with a body rig to constantly connect him to the Metaverse (AKA the world wide web, only 3D and first person), Stephenson writes that it's kind of socially ostracizing and gauche, but IRL so many of us are constantly connected now...

Looking back at first edition Shadowrun rules a current cell phone seems to do everything that a "pocket secretary" would, in a smaller package.

As I recall, it was more the fact that they're constantly and overtly recording you that made them unwelcome. I believe that was one of the marketing issues with Google Glass. At least with a smartphone you (generally) have to be visibly pointing it at someone.

It was also an issue for a researcher who received a camera implant to replace a lost eye. He was recording everyone around him, which creeped out a lot of people.

I re-read snow crash, and it is really steeped in the 90's though I'd say what we have now is by far more intrusive than anything he dreamed of.

One of the lines from the 90s movie Hackers has stood the test of time :
"You could sit at home, and do like absolutely nothing, and your name goes through like 17 computers a day. "
