I was going to go traditional with the Monk outfit, because I think Taz might go for that (stereotypes be damned), but- no shoes. I don't care how traditional it is, you need shoes in the city of the future, especially the places Runners go.

So this is the opposite direction entirely, but I think I have to throw my hat in for the Ballistic Cloth Suit. Yes, I know the Securetech is more suitable and more cyberpunk, but daaamn.

_{I like girls in suits.}

When I ran out of color ink and wanted to print some BW stuff I struggled with preferences for more than an hour until a child on youtube showed me how to cover the ink level windows on the cartridges with tape to fool the loving machine and bypass the replace ink message.

Don't ever let me loose at the Brother offices, I will not be held responsible for my actions.

Sure, but ideology (and science, even Science!(tm) ) has to account for material realities and their consequences, else it's just disingenuous wankery. We run in this world, not an ideal automated luxury space post-scarcity communism version of it.

Blitz is pretty much the only non-rich person who accepted the "move fast and break stuff" business strategy into his heart and stuck with it after the first series of trainwrecks.
The rich, being immune to consequences have no problems sticking to bad ideas.

Shadowrun has always been shaky on how much or how you should roleplay having very low Essence. Until I think SR5 they never even made it a mechanical thing, and even then it was connected to one of the most hated mechanics in SR5: limits.

The actual best look into it was in the SR2e book Cybertechnology, and even then, they didn't actually present it as low Essence somehow "draining away your humanity." Instead it was a (very cool, I should add) look into how turning yourself into a weapon would negatively effect your mental state in far more interesting and realistic ways. Things like "my cybereyes made things too crisp, too clean. It made me disassociate myself from my own life and see it like a movie. And that's what I wanted." Or "the wired reflexes meant I had to forever keep my back to walls, because they're reflexes, and for the rest of my life I'm going to be terrified that an innocent person or even a friend will approach me from behind and I'm going to hurt them without wanting to."

This kinda thing is way more interesting then just "sorry you have a prosthetic; you lose 10 Human Points," and a whole lot less lovely to people who have actual need of prosthetics to boot. It's also in its own way a whole lot MORE grim; the risk isn't that getting a metal arm makes you somehow less of a person, the risk is that you can no longer do normal things with that arm because it's always jacked to a thousand and now you try to playfully punch someone and you break their shoulder. The risk of getting the cool headware isn't that your brain is rewired into something robotic and evil, the risk is that constantly hearing and responding to voices in your head makes everyone around think of you as a crazy or dangerous person, and now you have even less human contact in your already lonely existence.
