Apparently, cyberdecks and the HellMOO internet have not been developed in any real sense. If you want to design an area that nobody will pay attention to, you may have at it, but otherwise the internet serves no actual purpose. This limits hacking to only two activities, namely advanced lockpicking and the acquisition of gang cams.
Well, that kind of puts a dent in the idea of a specialist hacker-type character, seeing as I wouldn't be doing a whole heck of a lot beyond pissing off other corps and pissing off other individuals.
And chud characters, while also highly appealing to me, have the slight disadvantage of no longer having any special apartments down below. They're all taken. Heck, I'd even wondered about a chudhacker, a character who could call for help and get some chuds to stand guard while he hacked cameras in gangland, allowing him to make a break for it in the event that things go sour.
And, of course, such a character would also have a great aversion to sunlight, like any respectable geek.
Guess that just leaves me. Me, the minmaxed Brains/Senses build. The whipping medic who can't really do a good job of whipping things.
Oh well... Hey, at least I've got hootch! About nine bottles of it so far, if I've managed to find all of them. And at six units of alcohol per bottle, that ain't bad.
Now if only we had a use for these things... Suppose I could sell 'em.
And I really need to find something to do with all this junk in my room. I've almost managed to stuff the toybox, the floor is yet again beyond capacity, and I'm missing about two semi-naked runs worth of loot that someone was kind enough to hold on to for me.
I've got loads of crafting supplies, but no real use for them. Someone even gave me an empty clip for some reason. I'm not sure if I should focus on training climb, locksmith, craft, chemistry or even hacking at this point (let alone whips), and I need something to do when the daily IP racks up to painful levels so that I'm bleeding XP. I also need something to do for some easy money, as I'm down to my last couple thousand... Again.
Science would be nice to have, but I have no clue how I'd go about getting it. And so far it seems that my most profitable course of action is feeling up W-U employees... One gal gave me $1150 for a good roll-around in one of the corridors. Far superior (and far safer) to the $40 a day I get off of our one remaining cam in Gangland.
Well... That's about the gist of it. I guess I need to go grind craft some more. I'm still kicking myself for having tagged teaching...
