Can I just say, I find the presence of "shards" in #Cyberpunk2077 to be really charming.
This is the future. Everyone has cybernetic implants. Even the cabs are robots! And yet, files in the game are often transfered through a physical medium.
This is probably because the game is #cyberpunk, a genre which was created before the Internet was common in households. (Plus, watching V and Rogue try to pair bluetooth signals would be lame.)
Data made into a material object is old school and fun.
