Ha. Were I in that circumstance, seeing family photos and hearing my favorite music would just encourage me to go off. It'd remind me that Im a faceless entity in a massive, soulsucking corporation whose only motive is profit at any cost.

Seeing a family photo whilst a customer is being so dense science re-examines it's stance on alchemy... yeah, that's a headset toss and walk the fuck out.

Let us be happy we have an occupation to fill. Work hard, increase production, prevent accidents, and be happy.

Further proof that Cyberpunk arrived on schedule (2020). The literally gonna braindance choombas so they can survive meatspace.

NOTE: The Cyberpunk TTRPG from the 1980's was set in an alternate 2020's. The current version is set in the mid 2045's and the videogame is set in 2077. My estimate is that the Edgerunners anime is set in the early 2070's.
