hmmmm... the VR book doesn't say whether they're cumulative or not ... if
they're not then that gives me the impression that Otaku's brains are
like hosts ... Would the Otaku task bonus apply to writing normal
programs?
speaking of UV hosts ... would a UV host give any special task bonuses
(for normal decekrs as well as Otaku)?
