A robotic pet would have some distinct advantages. No feeding (hence no messes to clean up later) and no shedding, no allergies, and no walking on a leash necessary. However, a robotic pet might not mix well with a live pet, at least until the dog or moggy became accustomed to it (and vice-versa, I suppose). When the first really life-like human robots are common, it will really become "interesting" and predicting that sort of future is imprecise and the outcomes are up for much speculation.

Yeah did it. The entire confusion came from the redundancy of the meaning of the word "Set". We should really invent another name for the more general meaning. Something like "armor class" or so. But I'm not entirely happy with that one either, one could confuse it with the damage channel armor.

Uhh nice! Do you know what happened? Can I restore this site safely without breaking anything?

Tarzan was our first Leonberger. Our oldest leaned walking while holding its fur, learned swimming while lying on his back. When we worked on our house, Tarzan was guarding her... Trained water rescue dog I think it will take some more decades till I trust into a robot dog to do the same for my then grandgrandchilds. In my opinion robot animals (which I know) are for the age group between mid-teen till family with yet no kids. We have two ecosphere and 3 baiosphere for having animals and plants with no need to care for them, Closed systems, selfsupporting.

The optimal way would probably be to use the weapon slots for this, so gear with CAR+X% (vrum vrum, muhaha) on a slot for general use with BT, and then another slot with a different itemisation for using IS for bosses. Sounds about right. I do remember old discussions about this issue with IS, and Hooyaah is right on the money, you do want to focalize your meteors into a small radius for boss killing. The Wiki entry for the CA has a few tips.

Oh, Pleo was really pushing the tech of the time. They made a toy way ahead of the curve, but there just wasn't a market for it, sadly. Vector is basically a robot hamster, especially in the sense that he's autonomous and self charging, so he never really needs to be off. And, yeah, I make and paint tons of models. Airfix, Atlantis, Warhammer, you name it! 😁

I was thinking about this concept of *pets* for a while.. how many surprises or built in *reactions* would a construct have to have for us to be satisfied? I mean...I just pulled up Pleo, James' pet he first mentionned... its actually quite impressive how many small surprises it keeps coming up with ... the tech at the time must have been pushing ... i mean... Pleo is more than 17 years old! gogo

Spider Man => Peter Parker

Aaaaaand.... BOOMG... Lindor come give it a go and see if its back all good? I see the pix are up and running again and Schot has returned logins...if you can do some checking and give us the okay? gogo

This pix are amazing! I've actually neve heard of robot pots as being a collection activity...but i can see how it has its charm What you said about paint job...does this mean they're sort of like retro airplane models... the kind that we used to build from balsam wood and kits, then assemble with glue and paint (painstakingly!...never had the patience for that :D) ! gogo

Steve, that is such an awesome pic!!! I just showed it to Brad... stylish sir! You got me all thinking to those speed shooting videos you can catch on tik tok...with these folks going from one gun to another hitting targets... they are so fast .. !! gogo ps Steve... its funny when i read this post from my phone, i thought the badges were missing as well...but when I am here now looking at the post from my desk top... the badges show! maybe its how the program chooses to display the profile in different operating systems or gadgets? Either way ...thats a great shot of you
