When a vampire drinks blood, are they affected by any chems in the bloodstream? How about changelings eating people?

The main thing about AI is it is very much an RP-heavy role, so you have to be able to have fun being a radio voice.

Might be cool for an AI to have built in emag access, though, at least on some stuff.

The trick is finding an AI gimmick that is entertaining for you, but not so enraging that someone decides to invade your chamber and murder you.

I fondly remember some guy getting senselessly irate over being pushed down, injected with stable mutagen and turned into Jimmy Shits for the rest of the round.

I think my favorite part of this is that your name is part of your genetic code.

ya I am the ultimate shitlord but I have barely ever had a fun round as AI as protagonist.

Part of the problem too is that the crew watches the AI like a hawk, first sign they aren't on the level and it's inquisition city... for good reason though. If there's a few robust borgs and they get corrupted then they can just delete the crew barely breaking a sweat usually.

Yeah, the fact that the AI's fun is limited based on the threat posed by cyborgs is pretty sad.

To chime in on defending your department, you sort of have to play that way if you want to actually last through the round. When someone just busts into a department where they shouldn’t be, you have to assume they are a changeling and be aggressive. If they aren’t an antag, fine, they get the hint and you can go on doing whatever the hell you were doing. If they are an antag, you at least have a chance to put up a fight before getting murdered. I have had way too many rounds end early not to be immediately suspicious of every single person or borg I see. If that’s my attitude, I assume that is other people’s attitude. So, if I need something from a department, I use the radio instead of just breaking in and taking it. Most people are pretty accommodating if you are polite, the exception being people doing chemistry or genetics.

I'm sure genetics would be polite if you let them experiment on you and riddle you with any lovely genes they found.

Okay, so, you can compress just about anything you want into the extruded prison food known as loaf.

So you do that with loaf enough and it starts getting really compressed.

Then the fun starts.

Because people really enjoy doing hellburns, they’re not hurting anyone any more than normal station life does, and there’s no point removing poo poo that people like doing and isn’t causing problems.

'not being difficult' and 'people gently caress it up all the time' are not mutually exclusive, especially in SS13
