i think west world is sorely lacking in cheevos. i would implement lots of achievements but they'd all be for doing things that save the park money. like 'Achievement: Did Not gently caress' and 'Achievement: The Diplomatic Option'

also some sort of self cleaning mode. those have got to be some gross vagina / penis / bholes

Bug report: automatic orifice inversion system goes off at rigidly defined intervals, leading to guest dissatisfaction

Fix: disable cron job and trigger manually for cleaning

Severity: critical

well, i think we could make some imporvements with UX. can we program them to not kill the user?

I think it's a higher priority to keep them from everting their mouths while talking to users. We've been getting more complaints about that, not to mention the genital systems going off every hour on the hour.

Ticket #1474
Issue: some dolt set all the animals to loglevel: info and now the dogs and horses are continuously murmuring. Guests are starting to complain and we can't catch any of the animal hosts because someone set the speed coefficient to four. Presumably this is why we needed the logs, but someone pushed the patch to the whole system. We need to figure out how to round them up and revert.
Severity: High

Someone flashed the wrong image to the goddamn rattlesnake hosts and they're following people around and trying to play fetch. For gently caress's sake check your hashes people

Just in case any of you first-years are wondering why, try to imagine what happens when your robots' diagnostic interface is entirely verbal, they all run fuzzy-logic best-guess sentence matching protocols on anything they hear, they all use git for firmware updates and rollbacks, and they're walking around a park full of cowboys on horses.

Yeah.

Has there been any progress in finding someone to take over from Skylar to repair the old models? His retirement's coming up fast and while I know it's not easy to find someone to repair robots, if we can't afford to replace the hosts we definitely can't afford to pay him a consultant's hourly rate.

i noticed they left several peoples' fate uncertain. we never heard a neck snapping, we never saw her corpse, and bernard specifically asks "what did you make me do to her?" not "why did you make me kill her" or something like that.

stubbs got tackled and then not seen again. hale is not seen being shot. sylvester the neckbeardy butcher is told to stay.

i can't decide how much of it is "we can't decide what we want to do with these people yet" and how much of it is "who exactly will be willing to come back for a second season?" the reason i say that is it's always amusing to me when i see some old grognerd talk about how Blake's 7 was so daring for killing off the entire cast at the end of the series, when in fact the producers had already decided that in the event of getting picked up for a fifth year, anyone who wanted to come back would just handwave it away as only a flesh wound.

They are not people, they are robots

Critical bug report: the sheriff is punding again and has somehow gotten hold of a stereo that he's taking apart in the town square and organizing the pieces of. There are about three dozen hosts standing around in a circle and mumbling the out-of-context response to each other and the guests are yelling about their immersion. Please revert whatever the gently caress you did immediately
