>you encourage us all
I truly hope so.
I may have said this before, but it was probably many years ago, so it bears repeating:
More than anything else, I desire to deter others from the suffering I was subjected to.
If I can better even one man's life with what little wisdom I have, then it was worth it.

>>472
>I'll take a stab at that when I make some time.
Please do,
Beyond gauging what you have for a safety net, it helps put you in the mindset that Earthly possessions are just things that should only serve to help you in some way.
If they can't do that, then what's the point?
It's a great mindset for reducing spending.

In some ways I agree, Greentext anon. And mental illness is certainly exacerbated significantly in many Anons today by ((( Current Year ))) evil shenanigans. But pleasing & effective opensauce robowaifus will go a long, long way towards helping to alleviate much of that issue for many, I deem. After that, the real healings can potentially begin.

I read the Duskbloods interview on Nintendo's site and the game is going to be a PvPvE multiplayer title, they are also making that Elden Ring multiplayer spinoff at the same time. Pretty disappointing that the company known for their single player titles seems to be shifting towards multiplayer even if Miyazaki claims otherwise.

>No, a robot is a machine which acts in accordance with a base goal. This goal being enacted via its form, programming, inherent reactance to stimuli, etc... Prove me wrong.

Gaming PC. Built to play video games, enacted through it's form and programming (operating system). Not many would consider it a robot.

Telepresence Robot. Has form and programming, but no inherent reactance to stimuli. Unless you consider the buttons used to control it as stimuli. But then the Gaming PC has an inherent reactance to stimuli then.

>I contest that a waifu is actually a character that elicits strong, positive feelings. Especially feelings of affection.
Feelings of affections that are not currently reciprocated is basically a crush.

>This is just intellectually lazy. A human is more than their scientific classification.
But that's what a human is. "Human" is essentially a synonym for "homo sapiens". For example, Neanderthals were relatively very close to what a human is, but we don't consider them human. Now, granted, there is the belief of a soul. I do believe in souls personally.

Adding another example for human definition
If there was a humanoid alien that was very close to human, it would still not be considered human. Even if I bred with the alien, and made a child, it would still not be considered human (see: Spock from Star Trek)

Now, if there was a cyborg human or mind upload, it would be a muddy realm. But I would still consider it human, just enhanced/digitized

Updated my definition of a robot
"I would say it's a mobile automated or remote controlled device whose main function is to interact with and/or change the environment, and/or interacting with the humans in the environment socially."

One of the best automated cleaning devices is an air purifier. It can run all day long, and it takes dust and other particles out of the air. I have a large air purifier that I call "Galatea's little sister", because it has the same color scheme (black and white with blue lights), and it cleans for me.

Galatea has a mini air purifier on her base, and it's a good way to add cleaning abilities to your robowaifu.

Use a robot vacuum for your base.
Upsides: It's very easy to implement.
Downside: It can't carry much weight, so your design has to be smol and lightweight.

Classic post, with many ideas

Final Project Price Ranges

Chobitsu's Economic Range: $300-$2000
Average Gaming PC Price: $1000-$2500
Upper Gaming PC Price: $5000
Galatea v3.0.1 Approximate Price: $400

Obviously, if you can create a quality functional robowaifu for less, that's great! This is just to inform you of a good price range that will "sell" well while still being a realistic goal.

I make myself laugh often, even all alone. I'll break into bits too just for myself. 

I'm often alone, but almost never lonely. I do feel very isolated, if that makes sense as a different feeling.

I don't see a lot of people.

I don't care either way. My feelings don't belong to me. Whether I feel comfortable alone or not depends on the amount of stress and anxiety. I just use whatever mood is at hand based on my previous experience. I prefer being alone. But there isn't much of anything either way, so I'd be glad to have better social grounding to lay my hands on some money. But it's fine either way. Sun still rises every day, so long as I've got some food on my plate I'm fine.

I like spending time with family, but other than that I prefer to be alone. If I lived by myself, then I imagine I might get more lonely.

What do you think of this place that i created a month ago:

Sure it's fine, Anon. I'm in favor of Anons spreading out and making all kinds of robowaifu-oriented forums & media!

>>447
The problem is that people are not interested in building their own robowaifu, they either want a subscription or a full price tag, they don't want to do all this weird programing learning or building. For example in that forum above we could make guides on how to use the upcoming orifice Ai, paid Ai girlfriends, how to use the upcoming Samsung XR for a 3d girlfriend, showcase different high quality porn games (AVNs/WVNs), and other things.

Kinda like how the MustacheAI channel does:

Or this other channel:

I could even give you ownership of the forum.

I don't see that as a problem. For example on other IB sites, many robowaifu threads don't even discuss much by way of technical particulars about creating robowaifus, rather simply adding to the noosphere about owning robowaifus. This is a very-valuable, positive contribution to the robowaifu movement itself!!

Maybe you can work to drive the conversations between yourself and your forum's Anons at least towards that general direction? After all, each of us have our parts to play!  :^)

>I could even give you ownership of the forum.

I wood use the superweapon as a thruster to adjust the Earth's orbit for a 0% chance of collision. Once we're safe and communications are back up, I hire /comfy/posters to work as ambassadors. They'll win our new neighbors over whether they're hostile or no.

>>13193 (OP) 
the first problem i see with your hypothetical situation is that a planet coming our way doesn't make a lot of sense to me; if they were in control of the planet of course their technology wood be much superior than our own — if they were not, it wood either collide with earth, the sun or any other planet, also a massive planet coming our way woodn't just lock in orbit with the sun next to our own.
it wood make more sense if they were coming in a space ship, or many if you will.

anyway, i woodn't shoot them, the death of billions of alive creatures woodn't come from my hands; first, because if we destroy their planet theres a great chance of the fragments of such massive destruction hit our own (since their planet is heading our way) causing a mass extinction here; second, showing hostility first wood send the wrong message, imagine for a moment that they are not alone, maybe they are the first planet heading to our solar system because their star is dying out there and they need a new sun, maybe they called other planets too, who knows whos coming next?

in such pressure to take action, you just need to remember that you can always and will mostly regret whatever you end up doing; kill them or not, the result could be a disaster either way, so i choose not.

Je ne sais pas si c'est un truc propre à l'époque ou dû aux limitations techniques mais les scénaristes pouvaient partir très loin pour compenser ça. Les designeurs n'étaient pas en reste et savaient pousser les limites de leur machines pour donner naissance à des univers bien barrés.
Sans aller chercher loin, je trouve que les vieux Doom éveillent toujours chez moi ce sentiment de bizarrerie et de malaise, là où des trucs plus modernes de part leur recherche d'une approche d'un certain réalisme visuel sont beaucoup moins marquant.
J'avais plein de CD de trucs shareware complétement oubliés aujourd'hui qui me mettaient mal à l'aise ou m'émerveillaient. Peut-être étais-je encore jeune et impressionnable aussi.

I do too, Kiwi. IMO, we're simply not likely to successfully manage all the tradeoffs needed for effective & pleasing robowaifus without incorporating design elements relying on tensegrity principles (whether they be 'canon', or no) into her frame & support systems.

This straws+strings (jumbo drinking straws+ultra-high molecular weight fishing line, actually) approach is right up my alley, concerning building ultra-lightweight, very low-cost robowaifu skellingtons.

Jumbo drinking straws are pretty much near the limits of physics in providing strong, lightweight (and cheap!) support structures in space.

>ultra-high molecular weight fishing line
BTW, slightly off-topic (but only slightly): this stuff can be woven into fabric. *

Combined with good sewn textile patterns+vacuum forms+a little hardening resin (interior/concave sides only -- for smooth exteriors), this presents us all with interesting possibilities concerning our robowaifu's shells (very lightweight, resilient to impacts/resistent to punctures, reasonably inexpensive, easily-repaired). Properly-designed, these shells can then also directly provide 'support frames' for underlying internal tensegrity structures (perhaps with the addition of some simple interior 3D-printed hoops/'ribbing'). Lots of potential benefits, AFAICT.  :^)

A good lesson for the prototypers here, if you intend for your design to be replicated, make sure the third-party devices have multiple sellers, the more the better, so that if one goes down, your design isn't instantly impossible to build. Even then, you should have backup designs in case the exact model is not being sold anymore.
I learned that the hard way with a design in 2023, and with Galatea I have had it happen twice, once before Galatea v1 with the speaker, and recently with the Pleasure Unit, the latter because it had some other sellers, but not too many.
TL:DR, with third party devices in open source designs, make sure there are several sellers easily found, across multiple websites.

My words turned out to be prophetic, since these new Tariffs will raise the price of certain sources.
I myself am slightly modifying Galatea to have a "Tariff-proof" design.

I remember one time when I was around 8 years old, my father and I were driving down some country road in the middle of nowhere. At that point in my life, I'd developed this deep fondness for old and abandoned houses because of this one particular old house we'd pass eberry day on the way to school.

Anyways, my pop and I spotted this old house that was clearly abandoned. There was this chainlink fence all around it covered in overgrowth. This place must have been sitting for decades. I ask my dad if we can go explore it and he was typically against stuff like that, but this day he obliged me. 

The chainlink fence had a door sized gate that was open, so we just walked on in. A little after walking through the gate and looking at the house, we start hearing something moving fast that is clearly on the inside of the fence with us. This must've been around fall because you'd hear this thing crunching on leaves all around the backside of the house.

We caught a glimpse of it at one point and it habbened to be an adult doe deer! It must've wandered in out of curiousity just before we got there and got stuck.

Eventually, my dad and I hatched this plan where he wood run around and scare the deer into running out the open gate to free it. I'm not sure why we did this as the deer wood've probably figured it out on her own after we left, but we did it anyway! 

My dad runs around the backside of this dilapidated house and I hear the leaves crunching from his steps and then the leaves crunching from this giant galloping deer. I hear it so loudly around the corner of the house, I know it's coming fast in my direction, but I don't see it yet. It rounds the corner and comes running straight at me and I try to guide/scare it towards the open gate, but the deer panics, slips and lands on the ground right in front of me!

So there I was with my dad and this deer on the ground that was too petrified to stand back up and I get to walk right up to it. I touch it's fur, got to pet it and feel it's heart pounding and see how fast she's breathing. I'd never touched a deer before (or since) in my entire life, so this was amazing to me. My dad ended up grabbing this little film camera people used to carry around back then and we both took turns taking a picture with this big ass live deer on the ground. 

She woodn't get back up no matter what we did, so my dad ended up picking her up and carrying her outside the gate. After my dad set her down, we walked away and the deer got up and galloped off. The way it ran off was nothing like I'd ever seen a deer galloping before. It looked like it was so habby to be free almost like it couldn't believe it was still alive.

>>13185
