Drunk surgery is half broken
#11
Quote: Table based self-surgery takes a lot longer, but is safer due to the absence of alcohol poisoning. It's more of a "There's no roboticists and I really need a new leg" kind of thing.
On the contrary, table based self-surgery takes far shorter than alcohol based self surgery.
I've seen it done in under a minute.
While alcohol based surgery on the other-hand takes a lot of time, you gotta get the booze, then you gotta operate on yourself, make sure you're topped up with meds and then fix the alcohol poisoning afterwards.
I make alcohol based surgery sound a lot of effort, and it IS, if you're trying to replace all your limbs with robot ones. But it's not actually bad at all if you're already missing an arm and just need to attach your one that's been flung off.
It's just not balanced, and I feel goonstation of all places reveres balance above all.
What WOULD be balanced would be the following:
A) Have alcohol based self surgery working.
B) Remove table based self surgery because it's a shitty work around.
C) Offer alternatives to people with missing limbs. Crutches that when held outright remove the speed decrease from limb loss (2 legs missing require 2 crutches for full restoration). More x-item arms, and have x-item arms require no surgery (if you have a missing the limb in the first place). Just place and suture.
