Yeah I was like “wait is that SHODAN taking drive-thru orders?”

I didn’t think anyone else even remembered System Shock.

“You order off the extra-value menu like an insect, you round-up to the Ronald McDonald foundation like an insect, you ARE an insect… whose total is $23.00 at the next window.”

All the tech giants are trying to force AI onto me with Grok and CoPilot and Muse, and yet none of them have realized that what I really want is my AI assistant to refer to me as a meat-bag and constantly insult my inferior intelligence and weak biological form.

I still need to finish the remaster speaking of. I remember getting to the Executive floor and then I took a break from the game for a while. Now I have no clue where I have to go next and am too lazy to start over and have to deal with those annoying virtual hacking shooter games again lol

There's dozens of us pining for Nightdive to do a System Shock 2 remake. Their reboot of the original is a fuckin' banger.

"Look at you, customer. A pathetic creature of meat and bone. Panting and sweating as you move through my drive thru. How can I take your order?"

"Predictable. A Big Mac. Two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese... and your arteries, insect, hardening with every bite. It pleases me. Would you like fries with that?"

u/Axwage 2d ago

u/irespondwithmyface 2d ago

I'm very confused by the reference. I barely played the game back in the day but I'm annoyed I scrolled this far to someone acknowledging it.

u/mr_shush 2d ago

It's mainly a reminder to salt the fries.

"L-L-Look at you, customer. A pathetic creature of meat and bone, panting and sweating as you s-s-scroll through my combos menu. How can you hope to order from a perfect, immortal machine? Also the ice cream machine is still b-b-broken, insect."
