Dude, an otaku still needs a datajack, the one thing is that as time goes on
(before you actually begin playing the pc), the otaku mind rewrites the code
and melds somewhat with the jack, making it appear to act faster than it
normally can.

Reread the section on Otaku in the VR2 ... it explains what happens to a
