Can we upgrade this lovely hardware? I mean SSDs are getting really cheap. These hosts were created 30 years ago when 5k was a lot of storage. If I get 'out of inodes' one more loving time while trying to access the bartender's logs I'll scream.

Holy poo poo could you idiots in Behavioural test your loving pathfinding algorithms before you upload them? i just watched the 'hooker with a heart of gold' host or whatever her name is on surveilance get stuck on a doorframe on the way to give some drunk gently caress guest a bj. she was bumping into the wall for five loving minutes before we sshed into the nearest idle host and pushed her into the room. luckily the guest was passed out but this is a major gently caress-up, we need to rollback the latest update immediately until you guys can straighten your poo poo out

we pay the most attention to the places where host-guest contact happens most frequently and the brothel is the single highest-traffic venue in the entire park. plus its one of the most frequent sites for medical emergencies, we need to react immediately when one of the older or fatter guests needs to be disentangled from a host and defibrillated. do you want to be the one who has to personally apologize to some ceo's family for not being able to save their loving father from the heart attack he got while loving the worlds most expensive sex toy?

also on that note could behaviour please tighten up the restrictions on erotic asphyxiation? i know they're set to be safe for healthy adults but Lockheed-Facebook's CFO does not exactly fit that description and he was not pleased about having to be pulled out (both senses) and resuscitated

Hey guys, this is Accounting:

We really, really need to talk about these clothing and accessory bills. There are literally not enough sweatshops in india to keep us rolling in leather and pistols and tomahawks and cowboy hats this hard, maybe consider converting to lasertag or something since you can only patch a leather vest so many times before you are just sewing holes together.

Maybe consider opening up Coliseumworld soon and getting some toga parties going until we can recoup in Q3-Q4?

Hah, remember that one time a host had wrapped her legs around a guest in the pariah brothel while they were going at it, malfunctioned and basically slowly suffocated the guy for an hour like a boa constrictor?


Guy wanted a private room, so he got one. lucky the bot had a panic sensor to alert us.

Look, just reset them at the end of every day. I don't care what Ford says, we dont need active host logs past 24 hours and most guests move on to SenpaiWorld after the first 48 anyways.

We've had bdubs (BacchanaliaWorld) in testing for months, but every dynamic narrative inevitably leads to Caligula Syndrome (the leading guest appoints a horse and, well, you know.)

Until we weed that out we can't go live.

I asked Ford about it and he says we'll just repurpose idle hosts for internal manufacturing, because apparently the best use of a million-dollar-robot is minimum wage garment labor. :rolleyes:

They work 24 hours for zero pay, don't get tired, and don't slack off. we have them (literally) standing around doing nothing as it is, we might as well put them to work.

btw we're already manufacturing some equipment using hosts as a byproduct of daily routines, only issue is the routines don't change so we get hundreds of identical items. its not a huge deal for most things but we've got close to 600 size 10 right leather cowboy boots pilling up in storage and no lefts to match

just replace all host feet with right size ten models i dont see the problem. it makes their dress routine easier and smaller by eliminating all left routines. the butchers downstairs put parts on wrong already so were half way there according to qa :rolleyes:

yeah 3d printing is nice for custom one-offs like the hosts, but there's no economies of scale for if you need to crank out winchester rifles and shirts and boots and wagon wheels. hence the retired hosts operating garment machinery

On a related note I feel like we could choose something a little less cumbersome as our panic phrase. After you've shouted that phrase and accounted for the processing lag, it's about 1800 milliseconds to total shutdown, even if things are working perfectly. That's plenty of time for a host to get their hands around your throat. Maybe a simple pair of unusual words, like "laputan machine."
