Default Re: [GAME] Incorporate a Cyberpunk Megacorp

Answer 17 [STG] Trends (3-6 of 5)
Street culture, Food
Femas
Originating from the refugee mega camp in Arizona and originally made with the ingredients available there, notably CS powder, Algae pellets, mystery meat and green nutri-beverage mix. These sweet, crunchy and spicey sticks are traditionally fried in filtered bioil though many variations exist today. Popularity has been high enough that Biodyne produces a specifically formulated vat grown mystery meat product line, sold with a more appealing name of course.

Street culture, entertainment
Rishs
Sex, drugs, rocknroll and anonymity. The faceless mass of commuters garbed in acid rain ponchos, smartshades and smog masks sometimes hides a chaotic party know as a Rish. Concealed in the most common and bland examples of commuterwear the Rishen sync their personal entertainment devices to a single source, spray the same drugs on their smog masks and party amongst the rush hour masses.

Jaqing
Hacking drones, removing inhibitors and racing for speed or endurance through the crowded streets. Oddly a win in the sport is gained by getting the hijacked drone back to it's original start location and erasing the signs of the hack.

Hacker Culture, entertainment
Luceria run
Using a random algorithm to merge all of the available "skins" of a single system while navigating as much of an internal network as possible this is a modern hacker vision quest or sometimes just a fairly extreme form of entertainment. Often combined with sleep deprivation and hallucinogens advocates claim the experience provides insight into the "psychology" of a system and grants them a "feel" for identifying exploitable flaws. The prolonged exposure to a nonsensical and bewildering array of sensory inputs is certainly a memorable experience.
