[Sexbots are apparently going to be a thing 40 years from now]

... 40 years? I'd expect sooner, depending on how feature, uh. Rich? A thing folks are after. There's already stuff that, like, talks and whatnot on the market, from what I recall. There's plenty of money being thrown at the development of such things, I do believe, and fairly basic models of something like that probably isn't far off (and there's probably prototypes already built/in construction), if folks wanted it built. And they kinda' do.

Mostly I'm curious about the wat response, though. What exactly were you expecting? Development of such things was an inevitability from the word go, and the likelyhood of it lagging far behind other developments in the robotics field was vanishingly slim. We're humans. This is one of the things we do. Have done, are doing, will do going forward.

I swear I remember seeing a Cracked article about the ways porn has improved modern life and technology. Assuming it continues to do so, I'm sure we'll have actual household robots not long after the sexbots.

I have driven through Las Vegas many times in the past few weeks. Until tonight, however, I have never been down the so-called Strip where many of the biggest, flashiest casinos/hotels/misc other buildings are. Cars and people and flashing lights and video billboards everywhere man. Also quite possibly the glitziest McDonald's sign ever. Good lawd.

I heard its not that great until you actually gamble.

That's actually true about most of Nevada Las Vegas. Still made for an interesting experience.

Does taking part in the STD Lottery count as gambling?

Sure, why not?

Not my death, but it counts:

Battle has been going on for about two hours. In that time my units have fought off several reinforcements, had a number of good level-ups, and more than enough close calls. However, the boss of the map decided to to sit tight and wait for me to show up in order to charge instead. Caught flat-footed, I still manage to wound him heavily in an attempt to set up the killing blow for one of my weaker units.

However, all this effort is for naught, as the damn boss immediately flies over to my brand new troubador and one-shots her. WELP, TIME TO RESTART THE ENTIRE BATTLE.

Do you know what's better than a nice hot shower after nearly a week of not having any at all?
If I didn't have to wake up in five hours, I'd feel even better.

I'm thinking the Inquisition would be better for an FPS.  For guardsmen, maybe a squad-based game with Kasrkins or similarly elite troops.

Why not combine the two, like Republic Commando? An FPS with squad command elements. Personally I'd love to hear the crack of a hellgun up close and personal.

You sure? Please note that I said "half the playerbase", not "half the characters".
