Ahh, console video games (or vidcons as I call them). the ultimate medium of expression, able to convey any emotion ranging from hatred to love, loyalty to fear, all in front of our eyes. Ah, and with lovingly crafted art, music, and the ability to control the action, vidcons are the ultimate combination of the high arts. While I tend to play the stoic, I will be the first to admit that vidcons haven driven me to cry, to scream and shout, to feel actual hate; such is the power of this force beyond our wildest reckoning. And here I am, before you, to temp your tongues with the taint of such a tantalizing topic.

And the Japanese, the true geniuses behind the world of video games. Pah, I throw my scorn upon such incompetents of the West who would mock the true art of the Japanese with 'games' such as Baldur's Gate and Madden. Perhaps it is that the West is not as intelligent as the East, but this is a matter for another day. Japan has given us such masterpieces as the Final Fantasy series, Star Ocean, Wild Arms, and of course, Arc the Lad. Yes, some of the finest vidcons in the world were created by Japanese. I come to you today to ask you in all earnesty, what is your favorite vidcon? I will reveal mine after the grand debate has illustriously begun, but not before the first poster falls victim to my plot of discussion.

In other words, this is a thread on an imaginary forum our avatars frequent. The topic can fluctuate, and its mostly just general discussion.

I'm a bit bored, building a factory all day... does anyone have some good media recommendations for me? Besides Factorio and Satisfactory, of course.

id suggest unreal life but i doubt you have the processing equipment or inter dimensional connections to connect to the main hub.

I look to the stars... but that's mostly because there isn't anything else interesting

Is that a life simulator? Thanks for the suggestion, but if it is a life sim, then it's not really the escapism that I'm looking for.

its actually based upon old historical data. Im told it was called iron age finland. Apperntly some like to experience the thrill of recreating the lives of the mythical home of humanity.

actually our combat trainers would probably be exciting for you... though no one considers them entertainment.

I got an order on a batch of very specific spaceship hull parts half an hour ago, and I'm currently assembling a special, extra-large CNC machine that should do the job automatically, so I'm sorry for not talking a lot. What about you?

Also, how much RAM space does that training simulation occupy on average, urist?

.5 to 1 TB if your using one of the more expansive ones

uirst has acess to comical levels of processing power and when she says simulation she means a physics simulation being scaled up to simulate a battle field

[up][up] An insect? Ah, perhaps it was a robot. I would congratulate you, but you did express earlier that you feel such praise is unwarranted. Such a strange attitude, but I suppose you have your reasons.

How unpleasant that must have been, to be maintained in such an unnatural form for so long.

Granted, I'm in rather the same situation. I wouldn't call this form exceptionally pleasant, but I suppose it's better than being a severed head.

So about that “Salutations everyone” text, I figured out who wrote it. It’s probably the Cosmic Ark itself writing. Not that it’s bad, but it was a little surprising.

   Other than that business with my sudden appearance, it’s interesting to meet other robots. And, yes, I am the Cosmic Ark. And about me…talking, it probably isn’t very odd that a spaceship that can’t even fit through gaps between stars has enough computing for sapience or at least some self-awareness.   

Please get out of here, you oversized mechanical bobbit worm!
