what is the state of video games as of 2095? An older post mentioned games that were generated in situ by neuromorphs, but beyond that we aren't quite sure.

yeah I really should do a proper post on this at some point as this gets asked a lot... to summarize, they ended up with two general buckets of gaming.

Low-fidelity arcade-style not unlike a lot of modern indies, something that could be run easily on low-powered gadgets like teleindexers.

High-fidelity experiences which could only be played on consoles with neuromorphic minds serving as game masters.

Among the interactive movies and grand strategies, the largest and most popular genre of these high fidelity games was the quester. These were open-ended, infinitely-unfolding simulators that found their roots in the text adventure games of the early information age.

Ultimately a quester is a collection of assets, narratives, systems, and frameworks implemented by gargantuan studio efforts releasing a new edition every decade or so. The quester itself defines the world, the rules which govern it, the kinds of people who live in it, the politics, the technologies, etcetera; all the basic tools the neuromorphic console brain needs so that it may "unravel" them into something truly immense. The console takes this information and spins it into an adventure that is internally consistent with everyone else who plays the game.

In these games, you can do almost anything. See a rock? Grab it, throw it, break it down, turn it into a gun (if you know how to in context of the quester). Join Spacefleet and solve an interstellar mystery with Captain Nelson, or follow the suspicious alien at the bar, or join the engineering corps and begin designing the next interstellar drive. The neuromorphic brain will for the most part compensate for what you do.

But there are limits. You can't become a barbarian in the Lands of Cyberia while playing a quester set in a space opera. You are generally confined by the rules of the universe you are in... you can only go deeper.

Hi John bunchaletters, I'm going to say that I absolutely love your funky robots, your art, and your worldbuilding as a whole. And I personally look up to you in both your writing skills and also the simple fact that you managed to do all this awesome shit and somehow not die

thank you!!! it is a little concerning that there is apparently a chance of dying by doing art and worldbuilding though

Which are better, beeps or boops?

trick question, not falling for it

article thinking of continuing this as a series with progressively weirder bots that relate to the noosphere

pulled this masculine remix of @eggnogo's amazing robot design from an alternate timeline

(my drawing is on the right)

done with this i think

#started from a talk about what makes a design feminine or masculine and i just had to see how it would look #i name mine “prince” (iirc they are both still actually gender neutral) #also it's nice to step out of my head and draw in someone else's style for a moment even though i can't quite replicate their subtlety #robot #art

Sketch of a robot oc from my worldbuild, SANGUINE HAZE

Designed by Honda Hokota, set up to defend Martian-Japanese assets, has gotten more erratic over time even before humanity vanished. hacked their own faceplate to produce kawaii expressions

(it's ironic because they're a computer. get it? binary? please get it)
