Gen Alpha Chortle shitter!
This post is brought to you by Bucket Brigadier ILikeSocks! From the game Return to Grace: “Shitter of the future, I think. Do they just shit in the grate and then wafflestomp it down? I haven’t found any others yet. It’s an alright story but I take it in short bursts. It’s a walking sim, You’re an explorer/archeologist lady looking for some lost spire that used to house an all powerful AI called GRACE that allowed humanity to spread out among the stars before she was lost and humanity fell into a dark age. GRACE has been shut down for like 700 years, running on minimal power when you find her so there’s only her Logic processing that’s on. You unlock Empathy who’s a hippie, you also unlock Control who’s a douche and super bombastic but also has the emotional range of like a small child. So I think the idea is adding Empathy makes them stop trying to act like an adult? But then you have to start combining processes to get stuff done. So “Pal” is Control and Empathy, he’s kinda annoying. And “Mom” is Empathy and Logic.” Leave it to a sim to assume something called “Mom” would have the capacity for either one of those. Go ahead, roll the dice on “Mom”, see if you don’t get Scapegoating Theocrat.
