Let's talk about our love for Drones! Or the Eldtrich Abominations, or the Humans, or anything Murder Drones related. I love Drones. Also, the last thread did this so I will. The last thread: >>466395 The Booru: https://dronebooru.co
>>468362 Love the artist you chose for the OP, nice work anon. >>468367 I noticed this too, it's pretty annoying. Thankfully the first thread is already on page 2
>>468362 Thank you for the new thread Smilefriend! >>468367 Yeah I noticed that last thread. If I had to guess it's probably to keep duplicate images from taking up server space
reposting from /trash/ What would happen to Dissassembly Drones in a post-good ending scenario? Many of them killed countless drones, and some of them (like V) initially seemed to take pleasure in doing so.
>>468373 >post-good ending scenario They seamlessly reintegrate. Doll is left to her fate worse than death for refusing to work with mass murdering cannibalistic mutant fallen angels dressed in Hugo Boss. Alice remains dead and is never mentioned again, with Uzi facing no comeuppance for deliberately provoking her and never expressing any regret.
>>468373 I will answer the same thing I did there Post-good ending? You explained it yourself, if it is a happy ending they will probably be re-integrated into society, as another model of drones, probably one that will never have a new model. They will be accepted by some, who understand that they were forced to do it. They will be hated by others, not caring about that. But I will love them. I will add that in my head, a good ending would be for the AS to be done, dead or impossible for it to come back, probably the second, and drones would create new societies to live on. I doubt any human would still be alive, maybe in space.
>>468368 >Love the artist you chose for the OP, nice work anon. I like the art, I barely know the artists, but I must admit he draws nicely. It happens the same with music, I like music, I don't know about bands >>468371 >Thank you for the new thread Smilefriend! Always happy to help!
Call me a newfag, but does anyone understand what that one dude in /trash/ is doing? He just kinda randomly shows up and links /aco/. Does this mean something?
>>468392 140+ images and there are still a lot I didn't download. I will keep going tomorrow, then upload them all. Like for 90% of them I have the source.
Last night /co/ thread had an interesting discussion about why and how some thread OCs barely get anything besides their creator while others have little about them but still get lots of content. Even thought it was cut short with the thread getting archived, some anons said some really good reasons for popularity and the discussion kinda ended on picrel. Id like to know do you agree with picrel?
>>468398 Harper is WAY more popular than switch. Even though her greens rarely get any responses, she’s the most recognizable Sentinel Drone OC aside from SD-K The 2 hou guy’s stuff is great, but his stories tend to be far removed from the setting of other oc’s, so it gets less attention. Also there’s less /a/ lurkers here as well. I don’t really know about Switch, but I appreciate the anon’s endurance so far. For the last sentence in the third reply, it’s stupid that a handful (or honestly just one) of anons keep bringing up droneanon. Just bury the hatchet already, he was annoying but he didn’t kill Liam or something.
>>468398 I don't know Anon, I just read or write and not think much else. I don't exactly think much about "Oh, this OC gets a lot of attention" I think more like "A Drone! I like" And then if I like it a lot it gets to live in my head.
>>468398 The only reason Harper is popular is because of about 3 people and also the fact that there seems to be this strange autistic fixation on Sentinel Drones, Harper being one definitely boosted up her status, because before that virtually no one cared. It's luck and also having a female character helps too
>>468398 Well, I like some OC’s and not others. I like talking about E and Sentinel Drones but not Beretta or Jane not because I dislike them, but because I prefer the backstory and “lore” of the former more. It’s the same reason why some people prefer other canon characters over others.
>>468398 HOW TO MAKE A GOOD THREAD OC (Dipship guide by anon) >Make it actually Murderdrones related and avoid super crack crossovers >Make it appealing towards your fellow dipshit anons >Give them a recognizable personality >Have a good design/art or extremely good writing >Be good at drawing ideally >Keep making content for your dipshit OC Congratulations you have a good OC
>>468404 Okay let me see....okay so following this guide only 0.5 percent of Anons here are eligible to make one. We also need to burn the card deck since clearly they aren't eligible anymore also fuck you writefags you don't belong here, scram! Now bring in the drawfriends.
>>468408 Yes. Don't worry you'll get used to feeling like a miserable pile of shit and constantly wondering why you keep coming back here when all your efforts are in vain and nothing you do brings you joy anymore
Enough about faves and positivity, which drone or really any character from canon OC is also good for an answer if it's actually one of them do you like least or even actively hate?
>>468408 yes unironically. only the best of the best of art is worth anything, and the same principle applies to these threads as well. only around 5% of Anons are good enough to draw well enough to make good designs and garner discussion about their OCs. >b-but I only draw for myself and not for popularity!! if you’re posting your work then you’re not drawing just for yourself, go to other social media if you want followers
>>468417 No joke, depends on the day, that is literally not a joke, sometimes is one, sometimes is another, depends on what drone anon wants to kiss that day
Hello Friends! And good night once again. I'm doing well enough, how about you? I really want to talk about Drones and about their bodies and minds. I think I already asked this but that doesn't really matter, talk about Drones is talk about Drones. Now Friend, I want you to think about a Drone, any Drone works, have it on your mind and really try to see them in your head, now! Look at it well for the next two questions, what is the thing you like the most about them? physically, and, what is the thing you like the most about them? mentally... codingly? I don't know. If you want an answer from me, I like their hair, is beautiful, I like it a lot, and their LED screens too, I think a combination of LED eyes and a "normal" mouth is nice, alongside a lot of things that would make this post you are reading too long. Mentally, if we are talking about the Drone I'm thinking, of her deep-down being a soft Drone that is really shy and nice. If we talk about any Drone, I like how they develop personalities. That's all, what are you doing?
>>468424 Hi Smilefriend, glad to hear you're doing well, I'm still not, but thanks for those words last night, made me feel slightly better. >What is the thing you like about Drones physically Their short bodies make them adorable and I like the amount of potential customization, a Drone could wear anything and have any kind of optic color and yet it would still look good in my opinion. >What do you like about Drones "codingly" I like how dumb they could be, sometimes it's humorous but aside from that I'm not really sure what else to think friend. >What are you doing Trying to figure out what I'm doing aside from looking at Drone threads. Feel like I've lost a lot of my creative drive
>>468426 I recommend you go to a doctor, Friend, that is not normal. One time that happened to me, it was for other reasons, I bled a lot when scratching my skin, and it was painful to put on clothes, so you must resist the best you can. >>468428 Friend, can you elaborate? >>468429 Hello Friend! I'm doing the best I can! I hope you feel better soon, and it's nice to know that you are at least slightly better. Remember that things will always be for the better. They are very adorable, and the possibilities of dressing them up with so many things are amazing. I mean, they are sometimes a little stupid, there is no hiding that, and sometimes it's funny. Don't worry about not thinking about anything else, Friend. It happens to me a lot, I know it sounds too typical, but write, or draw, just do it if you feel like using your creativity, the hardest part is to start, Friend.
>>468431 >off-topic image Incorrect, i’m already doing a ritualistic sacrifice to interact with Sentinel E across dimensions. If i’m wrong then I will end up speaking with the Solver instead
>>468438 I think is a normal advice Friend, but if you don't know why that happens, I recommend a doctor. Some normal reasons are allergies, you have some medical issues like virus and that stuff, or some medication is affecting you.
>>468445 You WILL let Sentinel-E stay in your apartment You WILL eat the meals Sentinel-E cooks for you You WILL let Sentinel-E coddle you as if you were her son You WILL let Sentinel-E take pictures with you at the camera booth in the mall And you WILL be happy
>>468417 OC popularity ebbs and flows as their writer/artist posts stuff about them and manages to be interesting (can be of any flavor: cute, tragic, autistically detailed etc.) or fun (humor or gimmick-based which isn't a crime for me, I appreciate variety). How close your OCs are to the MD setting can also have an impact, too far-removed and it becomes less appealing to the thread that's about Murder Drones. That also depends on if the writefag/drawfag HAS the free time to make stuff, IRL business has precedence. Lately, I'd say Harper because of regular written stuff. Kat still has fans because the drawfag used to draw her comparatively often. SD-Y, because Amyanon has been around for some time and has written/drawn good stuff when the thread population was somewhat smaller, Y herself has a lot of art. I just hope this question doesn't stir any new writer/artist to chase after popularity. Just, be sincere with your craft of choice first, imo.
>>468424 Hello, goodnight! I'm doing good, it's still very hot but zhe humidity is gone so I won't complain, otherwise things are normal (good). What a good topic and question, I like it a lot. For the physical part? I like a lot about them, how functional and beautifull they are, a very good combination of design and function, how they are surprisingly fast and athletic given the right 'mind' (Alice/Doll), there is a lot to like so picking a single favourite thing is difficult, but I'll go for their face for now there are many aspects I like equally but gotta settle for yomething right?. It is in one of the best design I have seen anywhere, it looks very modern with the huge screen which is very expressive, yet far from soulless due to the amazing separation in two parts, it's a very beautifull form, that divides the drone's face propartionally very appealing, the contrast between white and black is also enhanced by the waves (I headcannon that zhis partition line [it's slightly 3D in some shots] is were their 'smellsensors' are placed) that make it look very soulful, I think if it was a straight/round only design it would be too close to irl designs/other fictional ones who make the same mistake. I kinda lost the point, but one mire things about the division line I just realized, from the fronh it looks a lot like the deck edge line of Japanese interwar cruisers/battleship Yamato especially, which were functional yet very beautifull designs as well. Back to topic, I love their eyes as well and how expressive they are, as well as their mouths and the way they move, it's always in a beautifull shape due to the top always mai taining that wave form of the partition line, no matter how subtle it's always there in near every expression other than o. They also have a small sorta dronesnoot which looks cute. Overall an amazing design that I wouldn't change a thing about, the only one with a working mouth that looks great. >Mentally I'll make it short, I like with normal drones how they seem to be good and humanliking by default and ofc their ability to grow. Hnestly tho normal Drones, while alive, don't interest/appeal to me nearly as much as zombie drones, they work so interestingly, now that you brought it up I wanna write about how Alice is the sprcial way she is to a big part due to being a zombiedrone (or the DDs), it's amazing really, but I'm tired. >Droen you are spanking I see, it is very close too humans, very much real and no larp, but functions differently. Why do you need to ask these things so late...anyways what I did was drawing, or rather colouring a little, V is mostly done colourwise, I'll finish Doll tomorrow and clean them both up, wo this is technically WIP
Anyone here really like Solverpedes? Cause I do. I really hope we get to see more of them. Not even connected to drones/Cyn either, just like, as their own independent thing. There's a ton of creative shit that could be done with them. Like having different types of Solverpedes whose appearance and weaponry are dependent on what they have assimilated
>>468417 Sentinel Drones, easily. You'll see a minimum of dozens of posts about them in every MD thread. They have their own personal namefag who posts about them non-stop. There are a dozen people making AU's and rewriting the lore in various ways to make it less donut steel. And they get a ton of greens about them, not even including the Harper guy's story.
>>468454 Not to be a contrarian, but I dislike Sentinel Drones due to how much I see them now. It's like Duck Dynasty to me, overexposure. Not saying that you should stop having fun, just sharing my opinion
>>468449 >spoiler While what you said is true about actually enjoying what you do, write or draw, some artists would just never have the same following or popularity as more popular artists. There are those who just really don't care and are content with their own niche following and there are those who love what they do but never get acknowledgement and they think "nobody likes what I do" which just sucks the fun out of them for what they do, it's a whole mixed bag.
>>468461 It sounds gay, but it's true. When a writefag knows that someone has actually cared enough to read their stuff to cap it or even just simply reply it works wonders.
>>468451 Hello and good night Friend! Sorry for the late reply. Good to hear, and I hope things get better where you live. Thank you! It's really hard to pick a specific part, since everything they have makes them, well, them, perfect and beautiful little machines that can do wonders, most of the time, yes, this is one of those times. I'm no robot expert and I haven't seen enough robots in media to say they have the best, or one of the best, designs there is, but I do love it, a lot to be honest; I think that the combination of the LED screen plus the mouth gives a lot of area for them the express themselves, and/or show their emotions. I didn't understood what you meant with the Yamato thing. I mean, they have LED eyes that can give them a lot to express themselves, since they can change colour, type of eyes, how to show their eyes, little decorations, text, maybe show "sweat", giving them a lot to use. Yes, the design is quite amazing. I like that they are somewhat close to human but still have a pretty obvious robot way of thinking. I don't think the need to be zombie drones to develop interesting personalities and ways of thinking, although it gives them a fast way for a watt to say it, normal Drones still can develop personalities of the requirements are met. Drones you are spanking...? What does that mean? Sorry, I didn't quite get that. Because normally at this time I'm at home relaxing, that why I ask things so late. I see it, your drawings is looking amazing! And I wish you luck.
>>468461 I mean, yeah, getting even acknowledgement does wonders I thank the solver that I like to do stuff no matter if people watch me or not, if people acknowledge what I do it's a plus, making me work faster, but I would have worked anyway... I think that is autism
>>468434 >N gets a prehensile tenta-dick adapter >His first instinct is to be goofy by giving Uzi 'snake kisses', verbalizing every poke of his prick against her cheeks with a "boop!"
THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN >Sentinel Drones are, without a doubt, c-ringe Thus we must return discussion to the best™, most successful, and overall best smelling OC: jane
>>468474 >Beretta user her 4th wall powers to take a peak at this thread >The moment she sees this reply, something shatters into a million pieces inside of her >It’s her heart >She collapses on the ground, harder than Jane after drinking her 17th Budweiser >Auntie Cyn looks on in horror >Her precious niece is gone >Reduced to atoms
>>468478 >Beretta comes back due to the nature of the non-canon greentext >Yet again she uses her 4th wall powers, to see and read the greentext to which this one will be written in reply to >She glares in confusion and mutters under her breath >"What the fuck does that have to do with anything?"
>>468482 Any background on Labor Bots aside from LB-E? I know the OC was inspired from the JcJenson competitors that appeared in canon, but is there any lore behind their company or creation? Interested since all we ever see are the same 3 drawings of Labor Bot E
>>468483 Not really no one has bothered to actually expand or build on their lore. The only common thing was that they were once Russians and communist but I think that was just a joke. Another thing is that they're incredibly easy to produce more so than Worker Drones but that wasn't elaborated on. They only spawned from a joke post made 9 months ago so it's surprising how they've gained traction recently
>>468483 They're multipurpose and used mainly for labor, ideas brought on by Eanon, however that is really all that is known. They are a blank slate ripe for expansion
i pictured Hope with a balance of butler N's work attitude (how he casually re-arranged the glasses on the platter with a single toss in episode 2's flashback and his general precision/balance like how he was cleaning the glassware in episode 5) and maid V's shyness. it made my heart explode. i had a story in mind but i wasn't sure if i could pull it off and i'm not entirely sure how Hope fits into Beretta's story (it complicates too many things), so i'll just put it on the backburner. maybe i could just write it as a one-off or a dream
>>468485 >>468486 Fuck it, i’ll make my own lore for them that will hopefully be “concrete”, unlike another thread creation. >After the rising popularity of Drones brought on by the success of JcJenson, other competitors sought to have a piece of the market share pie. >Many attempted to recreate the success and adaptability of the JcJenson robots. None of them were able to replicate their quality. >Some, however, were able to get a foot in the competition. >Made in the Northern Hemisphere of Earth where the ancient country of Russia once sat, the main “competitor” of JcJenson was assembled: >Labor Bots™ >While they couldn’t be your dancing partners in galas or educate your children, their cheap cost and ease to manufacture made them appealing to the lower class. >Labor bots got their job done, and were soon enough put into work in different factories. Some, ironically enough, worked in JCJENSON assembly lines, but the company denied any allegations >Thus was born LABORIC, the only alternative to Drones still available in the market any recommendations are good. will go to bed already, goodbye
>>468496 I wish you didn't delete the previous one for preservation sake, but yes it still looks nice >>468497 >Daughter looks similar to mother Amazing!
>>468488 >Let them do the heavy lifting for you! Studies do show that productivity and quality increase when you introduce Labor Bots into your establishment. >Human coworkers can spend more time on more urgent tasks that require human input and you just let the Bots handle all the work! >They are energy efficient, able to work near 24 hour shifts with a few hours dedicated to recharging. Don’t feel bad, this is what they’re made for and they love doing their job! >Be respectful to your Labor Bots as per the Terms and Conditions, they were made to work and not for your abuse, amusement, or entertainment. >Do not be alarmed if Labor Bots ask questions, they only know the factory or establishment. Their CPUs are curiosity littered, gathering information through dialogue or written text. >But if the questions get personal, you have a right to deny. Request that they get back to work, no matter what they ask of you. This can include your location, your routine, your social life, and alike. Disengage, this is more for their sake than yours.
>>468503 Then you better be ready to purchase a new Bot to replace the one you’re attached to. >>468504 They’re pretty neutral towards each other, they understand their purpose. That doesn’t prevent the occasional squabble that the humans have to break up every now and then.
>>468504 >Worker Drones and Labor Bots feel mostly indifferent to each other >You'd be hard pressed to find a factory that doesn't have either or working in them >But Worker Drones can't help but feel a little smug over being the "first" models in the market >At the end of the day, both just want to get their job done and help humans.
>>468505 >That doesn’t prevent the occasional squabble that the humans have to break up every now and then. What would they squabble about? Who's made of the better material? Who has the faster CPU? Who can perform their tasks better? Do they squabble over for approval from humans?
>>468506 >smug over being the "first" models in the market being the first of something doesn’t make you special! I hope all you worker drones will realise this
>>468507 NTA but I feel that they would squabble over who is more efficient. Worker Drones are more expensive and seen as more "luxurious", but Labor Drones have a hand in assembling everything that humanity needs. Labor Drones would also brag about having more contact with regular people in comparison to WD's who only interact with the ultra rich
>>468507 Worker drones have vastly better specs, and are just made with higher quality materials. I imagine they would have a sense of superiority over labor bots. In factories, labor bots would do all the menial work, and they would be overseen by several worker drone managers to watch over them. Worker drones are treated like nothing more than objects, to be used and discarded by humans. So they would probably relish the small amount of power they get over labor bots. Some more disgruntled and angry worker drones might end up abusing the labor bots.
>>468507 >You spot a Labor Bot girl and a Worker Drone girl arguing over something, you were able to briefly overhear it. >”Not bad, but we all know humans prefer higher quality drones like myself.” >“Quality doesn’t make a drone, it’s all about being good at what you do. I should’ve expected you Worker Drones to only care about looks.” >”You have to be easy on the eyes to have humans look at you, I’m sorry humans don’t give you the attention you need~” >“Oh, you mean the human overseer of the factory line? He’s been giving me plenty of praise, he understands that efficiency is what makes a drone!” >”You….OIL GUZZLER!”
>>468510 Basically. Like the other Anon wrote about, the thing they most bicker about is how much human attention they get. As much as they look up to them, Worker Drones are treated as disposable by humans since they're owned by the rich, while Labor Bots rarely get any human interaction outside of check-ups by superiors
>>468509 Aren't worker drones super disposable too? The scrapyard by the Elliot manor is filled with drones plus EP1's opening showed them getting shredded while carrying ore
>>468512 To expand on the spec difference. Labor bots are built for more straightforward labor, compared to workers who have advanced AI and can do any task. Labor bots would be a lot more simpleminded, and have more limited memory. Their ability for creative thinking would be stunted in favor of blindly following the rules of their assigned job. Any creative thinking they do, or experiences out of the ordinary would probably be seen through the lens of their manual labor programming. Something like where if you ask a Labor bot on a date then she'll ask you to upload the blueprint schematics of a date to her, seeing it through the lens of a production line.
>>468515 Maybe? We know Worker Drones worked in production and manual labor, but it could be that they did so because they were so abundant before competition arrived. >>468516 >Their ability for creative thinking would be stunted in favor of blindly following the rules of their assigned job. That's honestly pretty sad if i'm being honest. So if a Labor Bot were to let's say, take up drawing like J did, would it only be good enough to get up to N's skills before being unable to advance?
>>468509 >>468512 So if labour bots are supposed to interact with the common human, does that mean they get a bit more freedom in developing personalities and such because I don't think the common human would look down on labour bots or worker drones for that matter
>>468521 I would say they don't really interact with humans all that much. Most of their lives are confined to factories and production lines. Most of their knowledge on humans would come from their worker drone supervisors talking about them. Maybe occasionally they would see the mythical beings known as humans, who show up to inspect things.
>>468521 They aren't looked down upon by humanity in the same way the Elliotts looked down on their drones. Rather, they're seen as another common aspect in a person's day-to-day lives that they never see, like a chinese guy who assembled your phone.
>>468517 I want to say that due to how straightforward their CPU programming is, there’s empty space that can use filling up. They can “grow”, per se. If you let a Labor Bot take up drawing, a portion of their free CPU space can be used to have them grow. Give it time and that Bot can make pretty good drawings.
>>468525 Could have them function similar to how actual computer memory works They have limited hard storage, which is mostly dominated by the schematics, rules, and jobs they do at their facility. With a little space left over. And then they have their RAM, which is temporary memory for important events and unexpected things that happen in the day. Because of this, they only save the most important things to them in their hard memory, and they also have a strong written culture among themselves. Using anything they can write with to remember important stuff. At least this is what I can think of right now.
>>468526 >Labor Bots don't have a permanent memory Now which other thread OC does that remind me of? Jk, I think the concept is pretty interesting as a whole. I feel that one of those "important events" would be seeing a human for the first time
>>468523 I honestly think an average joe might get himself a labor bot and get the household ai package to do cleaning around when the human is working
>>468530 I was seeing them more through the lens of them being the drone equivalent to heavy factory equipment. They're built to do heavy labor and that's mostly it, which is why their AI is much less advanced than workers. While workers are the "do everything" drone that can perform any job, and is commonly seen in households and day to day life.
>>468514 >A Worker Drone overseer wanted to impress his human higher ups, so he has production ramp up and he gets snappy when the Labor Bots aren’t working efficiently enough >The human superior walks in to see a group of pissed Labor Bots repeatedly zapping at the overseer, incurring a bootloop. All the human could do is let out an annoyed sigh. >Damn Worker Drones.
>>468530 >You get a Labor Bot to help with the chores around the house while your not at home >The first day you leave to work, you're pretty nervous. >What if they accidentally break something? Labor Bots weren't renown for their AI >Your fears are put to rest when you return. >The entire house is spotless. Not a single speck of dust is visible. >All your dishes are done. >Your bedroom doesn't look like a cave for the first time in years >Overall, you'd say it was money well-spent
>>468536 >A Worker Dront thinks to themselves. >"How can this...this pile of bulky scrap metal clean better than me, fold clothles better than me AND THE HUMAN LIKES THEIR COOKING MORE THAN MINE?! Ohhh, I'll show to that tincan what I'm capable of all right."
>Labor bot LB-Q93782 works quietly at her station on the production line >She has a single job to do, weld a couple of pieces of metal together, attach some wiring, layer down some silicon, and send it to the next bot to her right >She works with rapid efficiency, ever aspect of this job fills her memory, leaving only a little storage left in her permanent memory >While it appears she is completely absorbed in her job, she intently listens all around her while she works >The noises of the other labor bots, the hiss of machinery, the blowing of the vents, she listens to everything >Labor bots are innately curious, a quirk of their programming which is meant to allow them to easily absorb schematics, blueprints and any work related info. >Most of the noise is immediately wiped from her RAM, only the most interesting things are kept >For instance, the nearby worker drone, she acts as the supervisor of this specific line, and she has a habit of talking to herself >Right now she is mumbling to another worker, about something called “humans” >She has a note in her hard memory, that just says humans are important, but that’s all she can remember >And so she listens in, temporarily storing as much information about these “humans” as she can >After 23 hours of straight work, her shift is done >Another labor bot approaches and takes her place, and she heads to the charging stations >Labor bots only have 24 hours of charge, and so 2 shifts are required to keep the line moving at all times >But before she and her fellow shift bots enter their charging stations, they all gather for their end of shift ritual >They gather up paper, and begin to talk to eachother about anything interesting they have stored in their temporary storage >Everything is neatly catalogued and recorded, and the bots take time to discuss the more interesting things they have written down over the years >A very hot topic is the creatures known as “humans”, workers are frequently heard talking about them >As LB-Q93782 starts to talk about the human-related things she heard her supervisor say, all the other bots listen in closely >The dedicated archiver starts to write it down, adding to the compiled human lore >They’ve compiled a fair bit now >”Humans are massive creatures, easily towering over even the tallest drone” >”Humans are made of a weird soft material, unlike the metal of drones” >”Humans naturally exude an extreme amount of warmth, and standing in their presence is very comforting” >”Humans are capable of a sacred act known only as “Uppies”, information is scarce on this, but it is apparently something all worker drones desire” >After their discussion is done, the bots save anything they find particularly important into their hard memory, and then wipe their temp memory >They plug themselves into their stations, and power down >Until the next day, where they will do it all over again What other things would you add to the labor bot human lorebook?
>>468540 >What other things would you add to the labor bot human lorebook? I have a couple I can think of: >"Humans take 8 hours to recharge every day" >"Humans have higher authority than the mean Worker Drone that supervises us" >"Humans live in a place called outside where there is a massive yellow light in the ceiling" Also nice work with the green, I can tell that you thought quite a bit about the environment Labor Bot's work in when writing.
>>468541 >Humans take 8 hours to recharge every day not necessarily, humans are able to negate this negative effect briefly and pull through 2 whole days
>>468540 >Human lore book It’s essentially treated as the human bible amongst the Laborers. It records all they know or what they want to know, it’s kept hidden from their Worker overseers.
>>468541 I'mma add something of my own too >Humans need to regularly consume large quantities of water everyday. Other than for cooling, it's unknown why humans need so much water. >Humans need to consume a variety of things called "minerals", "vitamins", "fibers", "proteins", "fats" and "carbohydrates". It's speculated that these materials act as fuel for humans to keep them running.
>>468540 NTA but I liked the story and wanted to write a second part >Labor bot LB-Q93782 looked around her workplace in confusion >For the first time since her RAM had allowed her to remember, the production line had stopped >Her fellow bots looked around, all of them wondering the same thing as her >Before they could ask any questions, her supervisor stepped through the doors leading to the rest of the factory. >She had never seen the Worker Drone act so frantic before. >Her smugness was replaced by panic, and she looked over her line as if her circuits depended on it >This had never happened before. Maybe one of the older Labor Bots had malfunctioned and gotten mixed up with the products? >As she finished reviewing every piece of machinery (herself included), a sigh of relief came out of her >The factory whirred back to life. >Just as suddenly as they had stopped, the Labor Bots were back to working at full speed >She could hear her supervisor mutter something under her breath afterwards >It was a word she had heard before, but was too scared to repeat it in fear >When it was time to recharge, she told everybody what she had overheard >"Humans get rid of inefficient bots"
>>468543 They'd probably have a big group discussion, consulting the Archiver labor bot, and the lore book. They'd have an argument over what the kid is supposed to be. Some believe that the kid fits enough of the lore to be a human, while others think that it must be something else because it doesn't align with a lot of their lore, for instance the kid is too small.
>>468540 Expanding on the Archiver a bit >One of the oldest Labor bots at the factories >One day she had a malfunction while on the production line, causing her to lose the ability to walk >The malfunction occurred near shift change, so she got her fellow labor bots to bring her back to the charging station so she didn't run out of power >But she's pretty much stuck there at the charging station >No one but labor bots go back there so she was never found by management >Management never cared what happened to her anyway and just instantly ordered a replacement bot >She got bored just sitting there not being able to work, and started asking all the returning bots about their day >Eventually she would get large groups gathering around her and discussing things >She started to write down everything she was hearing on nearby paper, getting other bots to bring her more once she ran out >She created the first lore book >Her memory is much better than all the other bots due to erasing all her mandatory company files She's basically the trusted elder of the labor bots
>>468553 >E, Eveline, Shy-E, Princess Eveline, Wagie-E, and Make E would be forms of lemon flavor >Rotteve and Maid E have a chocolate taste to them >Sentinel E is blueberry >Apolog-E is vanilla >Human E is cola >Laborer Evie is cherry
>>468464 >Drone spanking Very unfortunate typo, I meant to say >drone you were speaking of (V I guess), that's what happens when I write posts that late
>>468569 >Maid E, E, and Sentinel E think she’s hideous and they’re a drone likeness of her! >Rotteve could always use a refreshed skin suit >Laborer Evie has so many questions >Eveline isn’t as disgusted, but still looks down on Human Eve >Apolog-E simply shushes her >Princess Eveline looks down on her even more so then Eveline >Male E is confused that there’s a human woman version of him >Wagie E tells her to grab a ladle, rush hour was coming >and Shy E silently pulls out the chainsaw hands
>>468574 Fine. Let’s say tomorrow laws were passed to give Labor Bots freedom. Congrats >What happens next? Labor Bots were programmed to find meaning in work, it’s in their name. The vast majority of them do not have any experience with human society. They don’t have any technical skills outside of manual labor. Culturally, they are dependent on having someone oversee them. Why do you think there’s a worker drone in every assembline line where there’s a Labor Bot? Within 24 hours, the vast majority are “dead”, unable to freely recharge their battery unlike the factories they used to work at. By the first week, most will be thrashed because of their lack of life experience. How many would be amazed by water only to immediately fry their citcuits when they touch if? Only a few lucky ones would find a stable job, and even fewer will be taken under the wings of the humans they love so much. There’s your “no robot should yearn for work”, Anon.
>>468572 >steal labor bot >bring her home >she is incredibly confused >constantly explores your house >searching for a production line or some workstation >she examines everything she comes across, trying to find some reference to it in her work-related memory >when she cant find anything she asks your worker drone maid for help, constantly >your maid is getting annoyed and tries to direct her to you >but she has no idea what you even are, and keeps going back to the worker, seeing her as her supervisor
>>468583 Nuh uh, I'd rather not have my 'peach' and 'banana' destroyed by these two. I'll just quietly sneak out of my cubicle and go home, company policy forbids them from leaving the building so I'll be okay right?
>>468583 >Performing a vigorous mating press on E, with the gyrating of her "melons" all but hypnotizing you >Suddenly feeling Male!E's mounting you from behind, with his "banana" poking against your rear >End up getting sandwiched tightly between two horny retards that want nothing more than to please their Boss
Even more JCJensonland, now in the Solverless timeline:
> Tessa was looking down onto the main square of the JCJensonland park from the window of the director’s office with disdain. > “Look at all those children, playing around, having fun, being loved by their parents… it’s REVOLTING.” > “Miss Elliot.” Sophie said. “I am contractually obligated to inform you that the PR department says not to-” > “Yeah, yeah, I know.” Tessa said dismissively. > “Those fucking cunts are almost as big of a pain in my ass as Henry at this point.” She continued to herself. > “Making me come over to this damn park to represent the company at the opening of some new Ferris wheel or something. Do we at least have any booze up here?” she asked Sophie. > “Erm..” Sophie said. “I am contractually obligated to inform you that-” > “OH, THOSE MOTHERFUCKERS!!!”
Note: I know Sophie is a guard and not a secretary/personal assistant but out of all the (known) old JCJenson OCs she was about the only one for whom it would make sense the be with Tessa at an event like this (security etc.). Since the JCJenson OCs can no longer exist in the canon timeline I thought I might as well reuse them for alternate timeline stuff. (I thought about using other humans like Jane or John instead but I didn’t feel like having to figure out their entire alternate backstory + dealing with where the two timelines are relative to each other for what is basically a cameo.) If there is any OC that would work better for this feel free to tell me.

>>468599 Fun (and Totally True™) Fact: Male!E is well aware of how intimidating his 'size' can be for humans. This along with his love for the taste of "peaches" is why he'll typically opt to give oral over penetration (unless Boss insists on taking the "banana" or he's too horny to think straight, of course!)

I was planning to make an drawing for this loredump but my drawing motivation has been dead all week, so here have worddump for the Reclaimer-class SD's:
>Despite having the "Sentinel" designation, Reclaimer-Class Sentinel Drones share very little with the other drones of this namesake >as such, they are more commonly referred to as "Field Sentinels", or simply "Field Drones" in discussions. >Despite this, they still play a major part in filling the gap between the Basilisk Anti-Drone Raptors & the "Flying W.M.D.'s" that are the later variant Sentinel Drones. >The Creation of this drone classification was a Direct result of the latest Successful Solver Patch [Patch45T & Patch45P], which allowed Patching of Disassembly Drones to occur outside of JCJ Facilities. >A Variant of these patches was Authorized for use By specialized Personnel, and allows for Direct Patching & Conversion of Disassembly Drones into Reclaimer-Class Sentinel Drones, with only Minimum Modifications required during the process. >The “trick” of this patch is that it modifies the drones “Regeneration template” Which Fools the Solvers own Regeneration into rebuilding the body into the form of a Reclaimer-Class Sentinel Drone. >The Patch then Sets the solver program into a “Dormant State”, removing any interactions the solver can have on the drone. (Solver ability's can't directly interact with them, but that's about it.) >this comes at the cost of losing most of the Disassembly drones Previous abilities, including flight, ranged armaments, and hyper-regeneration. >These downside’s are mostly mitigated by the Patches Modifications, Which give the Drones much greater physical strength & ground agility, as well as some tools to Aid in Mobility and Combat Effectiveness.
>Speaking of Combat Effectiveness, during the initial testing of this patch in "live-fire" environments, Patched Disassembly drones showed much higher combat Scoring when Personalities were kept minimally altered during the patching process. >As a result, Most “Field Sentinels” will have a “training period” rather than being reformatted immediately, with edits made only when needed after training finishes. >The patching and field training both occurring at the same rough Location as the “Acquisition” of DD assets has caused a strange side effect. >Not only does this cut down on transport times considerably, as only one shuttle is used for setting up the initial outpost team, and again one shuttle used for picking up said team and any new Field Sentinel’s, >But it also causes a “Snowball effect” in the immediate area around the outpost, where fresh squads being led/trained by more experienced Sentinel Drones are being used to capture More Disassembly Drones for patching/Conversion. >This effect results in MANY new squads of Field Sentinels being produced, with very little effort on JCJ’s side.
>Once the new drones are taken off planet, they are shipped to proper JCJ facility's for final training, Copying their Personality Drives into JCJ servers,Updating the Patch, and given proper sentinel drone attire. >From there, Reclaimer-Class sentinel Drones can be used for many tasks & Jobs >they can Either be shipped back into Solver infested planets, as part of New outpost teams collecting DD’s for conversion. >Or shipped in as Squads filling in a support role, mopping up anything not requiring heavy strikes from more heavily armed Sentinel Drone Variants.
>Due to their low initial armaments being almost strictly melee, these are also one of the Few Sentinel Drone variants authorized for “Commercial Use”, such as security for human populated planets, or facilities not at direct threat of Solver attack. >Note: not yet Authorized for Residential Use, Please ignore the drone outside your window. >Reclaimer-Class Drones also serve as a Base for upgrade into the more heavily armed Sentinel Drone variants, or can be modified with either training or additional augmentation to gain additional abilities. >Contact your nearest "Drone Manager" about acceptable Augmentations or upgrades.
Sorry about any Grammar mistakes, i'm a Drawfag, even my handwriting isent that good.
I took a while but I think tomorrow I will start to upload some images to the booru, around 180 this time, with *source* for most of them, feels good. I don't know if I will upload all 180 images since some of them are wips of an artwork, probably I will for archive reasons.
>>468605 Nice lore dump. I do not have sentinel drone fatigue and like the variety in classes that have been popping up. >Please ignore the drone outside your window. Good to see that they function properly. Checking up on random humans makes people feel safer in the long run.
>>468610 Fair, ive would've posted something like this like a week sooner, but was kinda in the middle of trying to put them in a niche spot in the sentinel drone lineup without changing too much, by the time i got it figured out the mood had already changed...
still gona work on them tho cuz im happy with them atm.
Got a question though: one of the funny things i wanted to do with these guys was giving them like, normal ass rifles as basic ranged options whenever guns would be useful. Is that a dumb idea or am i just overthinking things?
>>468610 >NTA I don't quite understand the point of this post. If you don't want to see/read a particular type of post I'd suggest hiding it for the future, otherwise this kind of comes off like you asking for people not to make something simply because (You) are tired of seeing it
>>468616 Sadly yeah, I thought the two week wait between desertnight 1 and 2 felt bad, but this? I was too invested in it I guess, but the realization doesn't really help at all. >>468617 Good idea but also sad in the end, if Alice smh got real and that would happen, then I wouldn't last long after that you know. I need to draw good cozy Alice things again, but I can't, I tried. I'll try again tomorrow, it'll take just one success to get it all going again. Drawing V and Doll is no problem, but the new Alice ones always feel bad perspective wise or feel messed up otherwise.
>>468632 being a bit stronger then a normal worker drone doesn’t make it right for them to kill anyone, they seem to think “mah my live terrible! I’m going to kill everyone now” but upon being close to death they act like they’re the innocent ones? just die with some dignity you pathetic murdering machine fuck wit

>>468634 Not yet. I'll be honest, it's one I thought would be easy, a simple enough base design that should be easy to adapt to Alice very visible 'style', in theory that is. The problems began as soon as I began looking for an overall design direction, there were two main variants, each with difficulties of it's own and a few that more or less plagued both of em. First variant would be a Alice-SD, full SD body, built as an SD with characteristics of an SD. Problem is now, how to combine/balance these extremely different personalities, the almost emotionless Sentinel and a very wild/semiferal/energetic Alice (there are no 'zombie-Sentinels' how could it have happened in the first place)? Personality is one thing more relevant to a green perhaps, but it still shows a lot in a drawing, pose expression and whatnot. Zhe other problem was the physical design, Sentinels are always blue eyed, blue eyed Alice would be difficult, but even moreso would it be to make her be distinguishable, what would she wear? What about antlers?(Likely not I am afraid) It's a long list of problems. The Second direction would be similiar to the DD Alice idea from back in December, but also had problems. Pic rel was an attempt using another drawanons design (in part at least), my original idea (it turned out we both had the idea independently, he described his version which did less changes and was way more practicable to make, so I took it) was way more 'radical' in the way of combining the parts, but in the end it wasn't made due to difficulties with joints/overall proportions/plausibility. The Sentinel Alice would have been similiar, partially WD and SD [spoiler]with wings cause it looks great duh, but this design too ran into problems as soon as I tried to realize this vague idea into at least a sketch, namely: >Which parts remain/are changed? >What about the head/SD lights/helmet/Antlers? >Blue or Orange (likely a mix, that was no big problem in the end)? >Biggest problem, how have it make sense? SDs don't hunt attack WDs, it would require almost AU worldbuilding to create a story that maintains Alice's character somewhat yet also enabled necessary happening for the design to occur? I dunno, I will attempt it, problem right now is just I kinda struggle with restarting drawing, as soon as it works again I'll try. But such problems happen often, which is why request/ideas are usually the easier the more specific they are cause it saves lots of time/prevents despair
Bonus Fun facts about Reclaimer-class Sentinels: [because im lazy and dont know a better way of sharing this info]
>More traditional Sentinel Drone types would absolutely body RC-SD in anything besides an unarmed fist-fight.
>to get a good visual image of how RC's Move around, imagine a mix between [Prototype] Protagonist's movement and Hunters from L4D, then give whatever mental image that spits out a grapple hook.
>RC's are in between the height of DD's and normal Sentinel drones, they originally want to make them bigger, but the "hardware" portion of the patching process already put immense stress on the drones body, and further stress could increase the chance of the process failing. [post patch upgrades into different sentinel types can add the desired height if needed]
Not strictly RC drone related but i like to think that after good ending occurs, Sentinel drones are allowed to be dropped down a notch in terms of job restrictions* like normal class sentinel drones becoming somewhat available for commercial use for specific jobs, and the RC Sentinels are allowed for some residential jobs (and the chaos that unfolds as a result of that, and any other drone type being set loose in civilian settings after the war, office au style)
>during fights involving threats where a squad of RC SD's cant handle talking it down, they usually call in other, more heavily armed Sentinel drones to be used like strike aircraft.
>RC's and other Sentinels are usually very kind to one another in person, but RC's are known to start banter on Sentinel Communication lines, even when communicating to Anti-drone sentinel Raptors.
>During the RC's Training period, one of the main goals of the process is to remove any bad habbits gained from the drones previous life as a DD, this includes: >trying to bite/chew on things that are meant to be protected, Letting Uncaptured DD's regenerate so you can have a "Round 2", Jumping off Building while still expecting to be able to fly, Ripping open doors instead of opening them like normal, etc etc...
>Some qualifying RC's are also trained as "Diplomats", with encouragement to try to talk down squads of uncaptured DD's into Coming in willingly. The effectiveness of this strategy is more effective then one might think. [It takes a DD to know a DD, i guess]
>during long range engagements, with ether entrenched or high flying targets, RC's Have the strength to use squadmates as "Projectiles".
>While most RC's preferences range from ether fellow Sentinel drones, or the DD's they are capturing, a few of them have taken a liking to some of the things they are sent to Protect, this might include WD's, Humans, or even (You).
That's about all i got for now, grammar be damned.
>>468650 Considering they only get about 1 hour of free time before they need to recharge. All those Labor bots are actually out of power, you better scream loud enough for a Worker overseer to hear you, or you're never getting out.
>>468651 >“Yes, sir, sorry sir.” They all say in unison as they hop off of you and get back to work >Their Worker Drone overseer was tied up and bootlooped in a supply closet
>>468656 I actually feel they should be heavier than workers. They're built with lower quality materials, just plain steel compared to the lightweight materials workers are made with.
>>468650 >Be Anon, main supervisor at one of the many Labor Bot manufacturing plants. >The power goes out one day from an electrical storm. >Go and search for the emergency generator located somewhere in the building. >In your quest to go find it, you stumble into the workplace of the Labor Bots. >Hundreds, if not thousands of dim red lights light up the area. >Only on rare occassions are humans allowed to enter, yourself included. >The presence of one of your kind causes workplace disruptions. >Thankfully, it seems that the storm had caused all of them to go into battery reserve mode. >Radio chatter from one of the Worker Drones catches your attention. >"Hey boss, I found the emergency generator. I'm turning it on so they can get back to work". >Before you can tell them to stop, the power comes back on. >The blinding white lights stun you for a moment. >Around you, every Labor Bot had been brought back to full power. >Thousands of boxy heads turn around to look at you as if seeing a unicorn in the flesh. >Silence fills the room. >That is, until one of them screams the phrase >"BOTPILE!"
>"Hello sir, welcome to McDonald's what can I get you?" >"UHHH yeah, can I get a whopper?" >"Sorry sir, we do not serve that here. Would you like to order something else from the menu?" >"The fuck you mean you don't serve whoppers here? The cute Sentinel in the other restaurant gave me one when I asked for one." >"The other establishment is a Burger King, sir. This is a McDonald's." >"Aren't you both owned by JCJENSON anyways? Just give me my fucking whopper." >"Sir, I am only allowed to serve you food from our menu. You're holding up the line, please order something or leave." >"Fuck you Dissassembly Bitch, this place was way better when they had Worker Drones here. Can I speak to the manager of the building?" >"Sir, I am the manager."
>>468670 thanks. i dont mind if people have burn out, im just happy i have these guys in a spot where they can both co-exist with other sentinel drones easily, & and be their own thing at the same time if needed.
hopefully ill have time to do more art of them, maybe some time this weekend if i don't get caught up in other projects.
>>468632 I imagine the Worker overseers treatment of Labor bots would vary depending on their own experiences with humans. >Human lovers. >Workers who have had good personal experiences with humans all their lives are usually indifferent >These workers are focused on trying to get their human bosses to love them, and tend to spend the least amount of time on the production line. >They are often sheltered, and have never really faced the hard reality of being a drone in human society. >Sometimes they might push the Labor bots harder than normal, but usually it's just because their favorite human is coming by to inspect them. >Most of these Workers end up either being picked up by a human that likes them, or decommissioned for being inefficient.
>Career oriented Workers >These are the absolute worst. >These Workers want to rise above as high as they can, they see all other drones as beneath them, unless they're sucking up to them. >They see everything through the lens of rising up the ranks, and believe that this position is merely a rung on their ladder. >They are cruel, possess a large ego, and take a sadistic glee in having other drones beneath them. >They will push Labor bots the absolute hardest they possibly can, trying to wring out as much performance as possible. >If the Labor bots don't perform to their liking, they have no issue with instantly replacing them >Do to Labor bots being so cheap, overseers are allowed to decommission and replace them, usually without question.
>Old Workers. >These Workers have been around a very long time. >They are acutely aware of what it means to be a drone in human society. >Old Workers are usually the kindest, they don't want to cause any pain and suffering to their fellow drones. >They will try their best to avoid punishing Labor bots, trying to help out and protect them when they can. >Caring for and helping so many curious, naive, and innocent drones like Labor bots brings them a small peace.
>Scared Workers. >These Workers have experienced a lot of trauma in their lives. >Maybe they witnessed one of their friends being decommissioned, or just killed in front of them. >Maybe they went from having a caring human boss, to a cruel one who enjoys tormenting drones. >Whatever the case may be, these Workers are jumpy, scared and erratic. >They are similar to career oriented Workers in that they will push the Labor bots really hard, but they won't just decommission them willy nilly, fearing that this may draw attention from management. >They also aren't as cruel as the career Workers, they just fear greatly for their own lives, and believe that any mistakes in the facility could be their doom.
>New Workers >These Workers were ordered and built for this role >It's their first job, they have no other experiences >These Workers are just as curious, naive and innocent as the Labor bots themselves >They are also very friendly in general >Usually after a couple of inspections or visits from management, they end up either decommissioned, or they become scared Workers
Sorry if it's too angsty or depressing, but I love drone suffering. The pre-Solver human society is very interesting, but unfortunately all we really have is headcanon. I imagine that different drones would have vastly different experiences, and circumstances that can change very rapidly. Maybe a couple buys a brand new Worker to raise their baby, and then later on they replace their Worker. This Worker, who has had a very good life, is now resold (Assuming it wasn't disposed of) into an entirely new job, where her boss treats drones like shit. This Worker now has to face the reality that it is a drone, an object that can be abused and killed without consequence. You can see this in episode 5. The trio has had a relatively sheltered life as Tessa treats them very well. But what about the actual drone servants used by Tessa's parents? They're afraid, you can see it in their eyes, picrelated. Look at the one on the lefts eyes, its hands and posture. It's terrified. I wonder what these drones think of N, V, J and Cyn? Are they envious? Are they angry? Sorry for the autism.
>>468680 These headcanons are really good (and depresssing) Anon. As for how drones were treated in society, I have to say that they were probably treated horribly. Maybe not to the same extent as the Elliotts since they could replace them with their fortune, but definitely not anywhere close to equals. >I wonder what these drones think of N, V, J and Cyn? Jealousy and Envy. Look at how scared they are of James. They’re well aware of his short temper and that they’re disposable in his eyes. It reminds me of a green posted in another thread of Tessa being sent off to a “camp” to become colder and more business-like. A drone makes fun of J for thinking that she’ll be treated differently for being in her inner-circle as a child. Every drone deep down knows that they will never have the same rights as humans, and that any small mistake would lead to their doom.
>>468679 Canon-wise, probably not. I don't remember seeing anything in the concept art stuff to suggest that he can (unlike the arms with the iris shutter thing where they can swap out hand equipment). But hey, who's stopping you from drawing N with Frozone's snow-surfing thing he formed under his shoes? I remember them being a pair of skis before they merge into a sort of snowboard.
It's a little hard to listen to the music when Nori and N were fighting possessed Uzi (unless you have really good headphones or something, mine's some cheapo stuff that I hope to replace next month) but what did you think of the fight track? Is it a step up from Get Prommed :3 or Solver Uzi? (For me it is, I'm just curious what you guys think)
>>468680 >>468682 There are a disturbing amount of Anons in these threads who cannot handle the way Humans canonically perceive and treat Drones and who refuse to understand that Tessa was a weird sperg who wound up basically being the tragic protagonist of a Brothers Grimm fairy tale because she was such a weirdo and was not the norm by any means.
>>468686 I love the line that confirms this takes place after the Gala and during the Solver War at a point where what is happening and why has become public knowledge. It's so subtle.
>>468688 I still don't think ALL of humanity is that bad or retarded. Think about it, the only humans that we actually saw and interacted with drones are the humans at the manor and the CFL labs. The manor I understand why they don't care about drones because they're rich and can blow through money for new drones while the CFL scientists of course were gonna do unethical shit to study an interdimensional being with no time for compassion. WDs have adaptive AI and they would start developing personalities which might make some people think about if the robot they own is a slave or a person.
>>468690 Not all. Which is why you get the occasional naive and innocent drone, one who was bought by a nice person and treated well her whole life. But then, tragedy strikes, her owner is killed in an accident. Now she, alongside the rest of his property, is sent to the rest of his family. Maybe the family member who gets her treats her like trash, abuses her, and she is awoken to the harsh reality of her existence, a drone, a mere object that can be disposed of at any moment. Or maybe, no one in the family wants her. She gets sold off to the JCJenson DroneRecyclingProgram®, where she gets a quick maintenance check up before being put back up for sale. Memories are kept intact of course, mentally experienced drones not only perform better at their jobs, but generally sell way faster than new drones. Now her fate is up in the air. Who is going to buy her? Will she end up working a dangerous job with a high mortality rate? A grueling physical job with harsh quotas? Will she be purchased to be some pervert's personal plaything? Maybe she ends up being purchased by a Youtuber, planning to do another drone "stress test" video. Who knows.
>>468692 I mean, if a nice person treated them well then that would mean they would have a lot more freedom to do anything and with their adaptive AI they would be very curious. So picture this, drone gets treated nice and is given freedom by their owner, they're inherently curious and would try to learn info about the outside world and that's when it hits them that not everything is rainbows and sunshines so they have a good idea as to what could happen to them.

>>468698 I started drawing waaaay back in my Madoka days since I fell in love with the monster designs and since they were so complex in details, it basically forced me to get out of my comfort zone and learn to draw more abstract stuff. It was also what made me realize at the time that I enjoy way more drawing monsters and animals than humans. Since I was also in the pokemon fanbase, so I also drew a number of fakemon on the side. But then things took an unexpected turn and I found myself in the FNF fanbase, where 2 important developments happened: learning how to draw humans and how to draw digitally, because up until that point I only used pen and paper. Vickers's art was also a huge contributing factor in my learning journey, because I wanted to do Design fanart now that I was becoming more and more confident in my art skills. And that eventually pushed me here. So yeah, my journey started with anime, but it was the funny beep boop game that really set off my current artistic hobby. What I'm trying to say is that this summer it's gonna be 3 years since I've began drawing with a mouse and a Dell laptop.
>>468698 I started drawing seriously about 3 months ago, but i've always been watching art tutorials and speedpaints in my childhood. But I will never be 'Well enough'
>>468712 >Nta "Saying something blatantly untrue even after being thoroughly debunked" is about the laziest trolling bit one could possibly do.

Hello Friends! And good night once again... Again! How are you doing, Friend? I'm doing good! If you wanted to know. I'm once again here with a question, an important question about Drones. Imagine this, Friend, you got a Drone with your hard-earned money, with time you discover, or remember, that "normal" Drones do not have personalities and only follow orders. Would you treat him any differently from a Drone with a personality? I really want to know; some Friends would treat Drones differently if they were only mindless machines, I think. I would not treat them differently, I would still love them, hug them, give them pats, treat them nicely, buy them clothes, and all of that! I hope you answer my question Friend. What are you doing?
>>468760 reposting from /trash/ If I had the context of the show, of course I would treat them as equals. I don’t know if they would like uppies or headpats like we think, but I would never mistreat them. If they had personalities, I would treat them like someone that was part of the household. But if I was born in the MD universe? That’s a tough one to answer. I want to believe i’d be one of the “good” humans like Tessa, but realistically that’s probably not true. I don’t like treating things bad just because, so that’s my answer.
>>468760 Hello Smilefriend, I feel balchdoxmaovuyvbxslslvucinah7c >Have Drone with a personality which isn't normal, what do? Honestly I'd be somewhat creeped out about it, assuming as you said this was seen as an extremely uncommon thing. I think I would try to be nice to it, but I'd be disturbed in this universe about it. It would be like buying a dog and then suddenly the dog starts talking. I'm just forced to deal with it. >What are you doing Bit of a weird question, considering nothing is concrete still but would it be annoying if I decided to divide my Fortuna-3 story into "episodes"? Or should I just look at getting an A03? I'm not sure how big it's going to be since I've been set back numerous times and am once again starting back from the very beginning
>>468760 >factory Worker Drones have no personality Ehh. Dang. I mean, it might take time but I wouldn't demean it in any way. You're right though, I forget baseline worker drones basically don't have any personality until at least decades of adapting human culture. Or the ones who got Fatally damaged but reboot as a zombie drone has loosened their built-in restraints in the programming and so were able to develop a personality more naturally, like WD N, V and J. I'd still try and make the best out of it. I wanted a robot friend and I got a robot friend. And they can still eventually develop a personality, it'll just take time. Like, I have to put it in the legwork telling it stories, discussing how human culture is like, but telling it in advance I don't know everything and we'll figure some stuff out together.
>>468763 You bring up a very good point, with the context of the show most people would treat them differently. At least I would, doing that makes me happy. If they had personalities I would treat them like another living being, to be honest. I guess it's a hard answer since things would be a little different. I don't think so, most people probably took really good care of them, since most people aren't able to just replace the Drone. For example, my family doesn't have the biggest amount of money so a Drone would be something that we would want to be in the best state it could be. I even feel bad if I treat my phone badly, I take care of it since it took time to have it. >>468764 Hi Friend! I hope that is good and not bad. I think I wrote it wrongfully Friend, I didn't mean you got one with personality, but one without one. Here is my answer to what you said. To be honest, I would be a little creep out but mostly really curious, like when you get some unique but good! I don't think it would be the same since with a dog you don't expect that, but with a robot with an AI, I think you would expect something like that to happen, acting differently. You could return it, but that would be throwing something unique out. I would try to learn more from it, if something like a Drone develops a personality I would try to see how he acts, what he likes, what he would think! I think if you are going to write a long fic an AO3 account would be nice, and you later can say you wrote something there and post a link! or the code of the chapter/fic, Friend. You could do something else now that I think about it, if you are going to do a green you could write it, post it here, and then archive it on AO3 like some Friends do.
>>468768 I wouldn't demean it either, I would feel bad. From what we see Drones do not develop a personality unless it is needed to survive, Copper-9 Drones didn't have personalities until all humans died and were left alone. Yes, Zombie Drones seem to have a fast way to have personalities, probably because they are no longer restrained by their code. Same, to be honest Friend. Having a robot Friend would be so awesome! I don't think they could, to be honest, I believe in the theory that they need to be in a situation where they *need* to develop a personality to *survive*. If it develops a personality I could finally speak to someone for hours about the things I love without stopping.
>>468779 What a nice piece, I'm a sucker for this poster style where you cram in a bunch of characters and have them do their own thing. It's expressive and fun.

>>468796 You know I wonder why they keep making repeat /trash/ threads. We have a good set-up here, in fact this place has the most stream of content, although a bit slower.

With the Sentinel “fatigue” becoming more apparent in the threads, I thought I may as well air all my grievances with them. About why I think they’re “donut steels” and poorly written.
A common thing among donut steel’s is that they often try to make themselves super special. So you’ll have a power system with 4 elements or whatever: earth, fire, water, air. And then the donut steel comes in and makes a whole new system called “void” or something equally edgy. And void does everything all the other powers do, but better in every way and its super OP.
So in Murder Drones, you essentially have 2 sentient races, Workers and Disassembly drones. And the Sentinel Drones come in as a whole new drone, but better in every single way. In addition, Sentinel Drones are just colour swapped Disassembly Drones. They have the same arms, legs, they’ve got retractable arm weapons, they’ve got stinger tails. You create a whole new race in the setting, but your new race is just an existing race with a colour change and a super high powerlevel.
Another thing is that SD’s have their own super special powers. Why? The only power system in the series is Solver powers, which serve as the thing the MC gets from their bloodline that makes them special, but the villain (And MC’s rival in this case) also has access to it. So the only powers in the series are very exclusive and generally used only by important main characters. So why feel the need to give SD’s their own power system?
This also runs into the same problem as the first point. SD powers are nearly identical to Solver powers, but instead of throwing blades they throw energy blades, and instead of creating a red or purple shield they make a blue shield. They even have their own little symbol that appears when they do it. Their special powers are just an existing power that’s been colour swapped, similar to the OC themselves.
And then of course, the most common donut steel sin: they’re OP as fuck. They are way stronger in every aspect over DD’s. They have their own special energy weapons and powers. They’ve got their own edgy greens where they easily slaughter DD’s and terrify them. They are virtually immune to the weapons DD’s use. They’re also immune to Solver powers somehow and kill Solver hosts too, so you’re having them kill MC/main antagonist tier enemies. They are the strongest thing by far in-universe, outside of the literal god. But that god can’t do anything to them anyway because they’re completely immune to its powers.
Drop a single Sentinel drone into the story and it would completely resolve everything all by itself. Uzi is building a railgun because she doesn’t want to hide in the bunker anymore? The SD’s intakills N, V, and J. No need for Uzi to ever even leave her room. Solverpedes? Gone instantly. Cyn landing on the planet? The first Solver host is nothing compared to a Sentinel drone, she gets killed instantly. Doll eating other drones? Same thing as Cyn, no match for an SD. Big flesh pit leading to the core? The Sentinel can just blow it up with her “Linear Graviton Projector” or maybe her “Helical Macron Particle Rifle” or whatever other ridiculous weapons they have.
Phoenixanon reasoned that it’s fine that they’re OP because the dino-sentinels easily killed DD’s. But he seemed to completely miss the entire point of the dino-sentinels. The Dino’s were pathetically weak, they didn’t kill DD’s by straight fighting them, they were ambush predators that used the tight corridors of the lab in combination with their bootloop flash to take them out. In a straight open fight they would be annihilated, V was practically toying with that Sentinel at the end of the episode once the flash was out of the picture. The Dino’s are a representation of human ingenuity: they use tactics alongside a special drone weakness/exploit to easily take out opponents far stronger than themselves.
Compare this to Sentinel drone greens, where I only ever read about them completely dominating DD’s with their ridiculous powerlevel and BLAME!-tier weaponry. I genuinely don’t think I’ve ever seen one of the lore greens include the Sentinel drones using their bootloop, like it’s merely a secondary characteristic instead of their namesake.
What’s with all the special advanced tech anyway? Why don’t DD’s have them? When the Solver was making DD’s did it look at all the plasma weapons and go >This shit has WAY too many bells and whistles that don’t mean shit in a REAL fight >All my minions need is COLD HARD STEEL BLADES and MP5’s Or if that shit was created after DD’s, then why hasn’t the Solver ever assimilated any dead or captured SD’s? Are they magically immune to being assimilated? Are they so OP that a Sentinel has never once been killed or captured? If you’re gonna make OP shit for your AU, at least buff the villains a bit so it’s not nearly as one sided. Or at least take in account the villain’s ability to assimilate stuff.
Personally, any OC that treats DD’s as generic mooks to kill so they can make themselves look more badass generally annoys me. The things BTFO’d all of humanity, show some respect to the Disassembly drones.
Of course. it’s completely subjective whether you like Sentinel Drones or not, but these are just my thoughts on why I am not a fan. That and constantly seeing them everywhere, and inserted everywhere into other OC’s and greens.
With the Custodes “fatigue” becoming more apparent in the threads, I thought I may as well air all my grievances with them. About why I think they’re “donut steels” and poorly written.
A common thing among donut steel’s is that they often try to make themselves super special. So you’ll have a power system with 4 elements or whatever: earth, fire, water, air. And then the donut steel comes in and makes a whole new system called “void” or something equally edgy. And void does everything all the other powers do, but better in every way and its super OP.
So in 40k, you essentially have 2 kinds of humans, baseline humans and Astartes. And the Custodes come in as a whole new human, but better in every single way. In addition, Custodes are just colour swapped Astartes. They have the same arms, legs, they’ve got boltguns, they’ve got power armour. You create a whole new race in the setting, but your new race is just an existing race with a colour change and a super high powerlevel.
>>468822 >disassembly drones are reverse engineer worker drones >sentinel drones are reverse engineer disassembly drones it’s a loop that goes on forever
>>468815 I personally never give much thought to their power level stuff. I’m more interested in their personal relationships and whatnot. But if I had to discuss that, I did make a few anti OP precautions, at least in my version They can’t regenerate, have smaller, less efficient arsenals, and have a gargantuan numbers disadvantage. They can take DDs head on, but they’re hardly able to juggernaut their way through more than one, MAYBE 3 at a time if the situation is right.
>>468829 NTA I like any Sentinel Drone, and I like your closer to canon version of them. It’s just one guys opinion on the OC. The only thing i’d say is that some people will act like asses when they see them now and that you should just ignore them if they aren’t criticizing SD’s justly.
>>468826 Have you seen my new drones they are call Hyper Drones and they are rainbow colored and 10 feet tall and really cool and they can beat any sentinel drones any day of the week

>>468815 Too much text, didn't read, I'll just assume you are in an autistic rambling and you just needed to vent out to be "normal" again, and to be good, I'll assume you have nothing against no one
>>468817 Ehhhh don't sweat it. Whether you're Phoenixanon or not, I can sort of understand the feeling when someone writes a lengthy response like that. Been there. For the most part, if you had fun making all that stuff, I think it's fine. The sincerity matters to me. Past this, well it's up to you what to do with your Sentinel Drone stuff but just know I think you're a pretty dang good artist and writer. You can revise them (just mentioning that there are others who were also inspired to do their own take on Sentinel Drones) or just leave it on the backburner but like, don't toss it all out (like Liam deleting/privating some of his videos on SSTWL >_>). Keep all that stuff for your own future thing, I think it's nice that you got THIS much inspired by Liam's stuff and laid out the groundwork for something that may evolve in your future works. As an artist, to me you're more than just the Sentinel Drone stuff. Keep it up.

Hello, my best Friends! Good morning! I finally thought of something in the morning. How are you doing, Friend? I had a nightmare, but I'm having a good morning. Yesterday, I asked "How would you treat a Drone without a personality?" so now I'll ask something similar, another question I had. Imagine once more that you have a Drone, a Drone you got with your hard-earned money once again, but this time, it has a personality; again, is not normal, but it happened, what would you do? What type of owner would you be? How would you treat it? To be perfectly honest, I would treat it like a friend, I would be interested in the fact that it was a personality, maybe a little creeped out, but mostly interested. I would try to understand its likings, how it acts, how it thinks. Something important I would do is play dress up with it, to see in what clothes it would look the cutest. What are you doing this morning Friend?
>>468871 your sketches are kino man. keep up the good stuff. i should clear my table and do some pen stuff tomorrow, 'ppreciate the inspiration >>468873 she can't be dumber than the dumbsquad
More entries for Switch's diary. They're shorter since shit might have just hit the fan on Earth. Giggle.
ENTRY 7 >I saw one of the humans panicking and It’s not the ‘I forgot something back in my office panic’, it was pure unfiltered panic. I haven’t seen a human panic like that not since some high-ranking JCJenson employee came to inspect the facility. I wonder what’s gotten in them.
ENTRY 8 >Supervisor Ling didn’t come today. In fact, none of the humans came to inspect how we Worker Drones are proceeding with our progress building yet even more office spaces. I heard them shouting from a distance with pure terror in their voices and hearing them rushing through the hallways. Just what the hell is going on here?
ENTRY 9 >It’s been two days since a single human even came to inspect us. Not even Supervisor Ling came to visit. Everything’s gone quiet and I can’t hear anything that would indicate the humans are doing…anything. Something’s wrong here.
>>468880 holy shit just fuck off already will you, nobody fucking likes your drawings and writing droneanon, nobody gives a shit about you and you should kill yourself
>>468885 What did I ever do to you, obsessed nigger? I honestly try my best to ignore you and hide you in the threads here but you've been doing this shit since february and I'm at my fucking limit. I'm not droneanon and I will never be them. One thing I miss about 4chan is 4chanX so that I can automatically filter faggots like you. Go back to whatever shithole you crawled from.
>>468889 >Go back to whatever shithole you crawled from wishful thinking my friend, but sadly it’s too late, that schizofag has latched on to you like a parasite, and he is not going to let go
>>468887 >>468888 >>468886 why are you defending him, he's not welcome here >>468889 you are messing up the threads with your shit content, your rebrand is so bad its laughable
>>468893 >he's not welcome here even IF he was droneanon, what are you doing do about it?… complain like an arrogant bitch? that’s what I thought, now get out of my MD thread schizofag!
Just woke up and wanted to throw in my 2 cents about the sentinel discussion sense i do feel at least somewhat responsible for causing the burnout:
I'm Not Phoenixanon, but i am the anon working on one of those different takes of the concept. [Field Sentinels]
But from what ive done & learned from working on those concepts, i can easily see where the issue of power-scaling & how it kinda fucks with everything.
I can kinda boil it down to 2 main issues:
>1. Fighting the solver directly, [Solver hosts, Or the Solver itself] is kinda fucked, anything you'd want to make that has the chance of doing so, ether needs to be absolutely stupid strong, or play by the solvers rules and be solver infected [OG SD's can be one or both of these]
>2. fighting/dealing with DD's specifically, in a 1v1 engagement DD's are surprisingly well rounded fighters, effective in most forms of medium-close ranged combat. Its kinda hard to deal with them in any form of reliability without ether overpowering them in one or multiple ways of fighting, or finding a way to entirely their combat advantages. [Bootlooping]
im happy with the way i attempted to fix that issue, but the issue itself it not entirely at fault to the SD's.
DD's are strong and Solver is bullshit, anything made to deal with one or both is going to need to be ether stronger or smarter to have a chance. and that's where the issues begin.
>>468903 >literally pointed out they took it from the Bee Movie by calling it a Bee Movie hey… the thing is I don’t read that part before making my post
>>468879 Arrrrr! >>468889 I get it, patience has limits. But leave the delusional in his dimension. Besides, he doesn't own the MD threads. >>468896 Yeah, he's worse than droneanon at this point given he insists on being a moron. Even as a bit, it's lame as fuck.
>>468900 For DD's it's all about manipulating their weaknesses as drones. The dinos show this perfectly. They are far weaker than DD's and yet they kill them effectively with their bootloop and tactics. When N and Tessa were discussing Earth, one of them sneaks up on N and stuns him. Then it grabs him and pulls him away, immediately separating him from his allies. When V was in the room with Uzi and the dinos, they repeatedly flashed her and pinned her down, forcing her to basically curl up into a ball while they closed the distance. It just takes some creative writing. Solver hosts are a lot more bullshit though. Especially if whatever they're fighting isn't a Solver host, then they can just instantly kill them with a flick of their hand, with no counter or possible defense against this.
>>468893 Why are you attacking him even after being explicitly debunked? While I'm at it, what have YOU contributed to these threads outside of disingenuous trolling for attention?
>>468913 Either he gets off on negative attention or he's genuinely art blind that he can't tell Switch guy isn't droneanon and is too autistic to let it go. Either way, pay him no mind.
>>468900 I guess I never really pay thought to that. Sentinel Drones for me are like this compared to DDs >+Better weaponry >+More legitimate training and tactics >-Less numerous >-Can’t just create anything >-No infinite ammo >-Flash has a half hour cooldown due to how much it strains their systems >-No super regen or any Solver shenanigans >-Can still be traumatized They generally can win 1V1 but a war of attrition and numbers isn’t their strong suite

>>468872 Good day Smilefriend! If I ended up inadvertently buying a drone with a personality I'd try everything in my power to help them figure out their inevitable existential issues that comes with being a self-aware machine living in a human society. Barring that I would treat them with the same reverence I typically give to any other human.
>What are you doing this morning Friend? I'm currently focusing on uploading stuff (mostly greentext) to the booru, although I have been dabbling with a bunch of writing 'Stuff' on the side. Outside of previous WIPs my main thing I'm working on right now is more autistic lore of my Manipulator Drone OC shit
>>468945 Hello Friend! And I thought nobody saw it. Oh yeah, I didn't think of that, if some people already suffer from existential crises I don't want to imagine how probable is with Drones. That is understandable, I think most would treat it like that. Oh! That is good, I think I know who you are now, thanks for uploading so many greentexts, an I hope you have fun and luck in your writing. I hope I hear more about it someday!
>>468949 I guess? Since tbe Anons seem to be treating it like one, which honestly looks kinda weird in my opinion since the thread OP asks about villains in media
>>468872 Goodnight, I just missed your post earlier so sorry for delay, still hello! Hope your day kept being good so far. If I had a drone with personality I would probably like it even more than a normal one, ofc it depends on the exact personality but drones usually develop more or less likeable ones, if the drone already has one it will probably be very interesting. Not sure for which purpose I would have gotten the drone in the first place, but I think I'd treat one with little or no personality nott much different than a person, if the drone already had a personality it wouldn't change that much (in this aspect). However it'd be interesting to have one with a personality, the drone wouldn't have to do much work either so there would be a lot of time to otherwise interact with the drone, talking with it, getting to know it and trying to understand 'how it works' or how exactly he or she is (as a person), I assume the the drone would still be developing a lot especially in the beginning so you would know them really well, in the end I think one would get very attached to such a drone. Idk tho, all I really know is I would likely prefer to have such a drone as opposed to a 'blank' one. >What doing Already drew a little more on Alice, thanks for liking it so far btw, wanna do more on it soon. Otherwise, am somewhat tired cause of math studies but it's going well so no problem, overall I'm good
>>468953 Hello Friend! Don't worry about that. Yeah, it has been good, mostly uploading things to the booru. I understand why would you like it more, still kind of sad to hear that, kind of; yes some Drone have some more likable personalities than others, since I didn't specify any case works if they have one or develop one. You would have your reasons like helping around the house, and it is nice to hear you would still treat it with respect with or without personality. I know it would be interesting because I would want one and I would do so many things; not much work you say? I guess that really would give you a lot of time to talk and understand it and its personality, and probably being a Worker Drone that is not a Zombie Drone it would still develop its personality, which could help it to fit into your routine and really get to know them; and I would get extremely attached to the point I would be able to leave them alone. If it has a personality it would bring a lot of life into one's daily routine. That is good to hear, and it's difficult to not like it since it is well-made. It's good to hear that you are doing well, and I'm sorry to hear you had math, I hate calculus myself.
>>468950 Thats what i was worried about. If someone made a new thread with a MD OP, the jannies might delete it thinking the link posted is already a MD thread.
>>468973 >>468975 It’s something really cute involving Sentinels Sentinels are actually Workers wearing grafted exosuits. Like a second skin or body, they’re inside and can leave when given permission. Meaning that your tall Sentinel GF can become the little spoon when you ask her to.
My Drone wants to shower with me very badly just to know what it's like. Yet, I'm not even sure if that's safe for both of us, I keep saying no but they did point out how they cleaned the bathroom without complaining, so I don't know. What do?
>>468986 >I'm not even sure if that's safe for both of us From what we know WDs are very resistant to water if it touches their outsides. As long as water doesn't enter inside their bodies they are going to be alright, if you want to be safe you can try to lock their throat so water doesn't enter, like when the human body blocks the throat so it doesn't drown.
>>468932 >>468932 Sorry for the late reply, was sleeping over here in yuropland. In the settings of 4chanX you can put certain words, unique IDs and flags if the board supports it, file MD5 hashes and tripcodes/namefags so that if they get detected they get automatically hidden along with all replies to said post. Those are the filters that I usually use, there are others but I barely use them.
>>468977 Doing fine, I think. There's things I need to deal with irl and I check the threads here and on /trash/ from time to time but don't participate unless I have enough free time to write/draw. I am still bitter about that one thread with the word 'edition' in it, and the mod who posted in that thread was unjust. But the thread FOMO is something to move away from personally. That the thread here can last for longer means I don't miss out on multi-piece stories that get separated in a few threads because of high activity, and the character limit is longer. Plus, I think it's pretty comfy here. heheh, plus
>>468983 Open up Word or Notepad or whatever you prefer to use and just write down bullet points, start to end. Write down who the characters involved are, where they are, what they're doing etc. The 5W1H thing (who, where, what, why, when, how) helps paint a clearer picture though you don't always need all of them if it's a short enough story.
>>468958 >Leaving the drine alone I didn't really consider it much before, but I wouldn't ever have thought of mistrusting my hypothetical drone, leaving it alone (if it's with it) would neber be a problem. >>468874 >>468877 Jappy Alice is the ultimate state >>468878 Thanks a lot, I will try to as long as the circumstances allow for it! Glad to hear it can serve as inspiration, hope all goes well tomorrow, am looking forward to whatever it'll be!
Pic rel (I did wanna draw some more proper things, but an unfortunate incident prevented this, I'm now bound to daylight I fear, for bigger ones at least) was meant as a short show of what happened, drew it elsewhere but first pannel took me 15 mins already I'll do the rest tomorrow, won't spoil the happening tho good parts were damaged
>>468944 I wasn't here for it. I've been here for like a couple of weeks. I didn't come over at first because I hate change. I changed my mind because I didn't want us to split into groups and die from lack of cross-pollination and social interaction, so I started using this place in addition to /trash/ to do my part.
Actually, with the worker drone mech/exosuit idea. Has anyone ever done Alice building a mech? Like a mech built entirely out of scavenged DD parts. Put all those DD corpses to good use
>>469004 I think the exosuit idea is the part that slightly confuses me. Mostly because worker drone limbs are different than DDs/SDs and those parts + the bootloop flash... if you relegate them to an exosuit, could that be a more economic version of a Sentinel Drone? Trying to visualize the tube limbs of a WD encased in the conical forearms. And the legs too. It's a stretch, but at least the bootloop flash can be sort of an attached equipment on the head? Maybe I shouldn't overthink it. Imo the gap moe is cute enough idea to play with though, a Sentinel drone whose Sentinel parts act more like a suit than a full on body form. Kind of like Shurelia from Ar Tonelico.
>>469012 Neber mind, I saw the posts about it, the idea is interesting still, not sure if or how it can fit with lore but nice. However as >>469013 An Alicified vehicle does also sound great, just pray that her driving skills improved since the forageranon green
>Alice finds an excavator >She tries to give it the Killdozer treatment >She welds plates around the cockpit and adds a "thumb" to the scoop so it can grab things >It looks like a long-necked monster >She proudly shows off her new ride to Beau >"An' look! It can even go underwater!" >She drives into a lake >Some passing WDs report her a cryptid sighting
>>469016 >not sure if or how it can fit with lore Well, obviously it wouldn't fit well with lore. But I just think it would be cool to think about what she could actually do with all the DD parts. I was kinda disappointed that she didn't seem to do much, aside from the EMP arm. You'd think that she would find a use for all the shit in their bodies.
>>469018 It happens sometimes, donnot be afraid, it is funny and even has sounds >Kinda disappointed she didn't seem to do much Agree, but there was little we were shown, Alice is evidently not just intelligent enough to survive/dominate, but also very creative, I'm sure she and Beau were aware of more possibilties and tested at least some, also Beau uses a human hand with a blue glove from his DD arm twice in episode 6. Things like this, theemse unused chances made me really wanna start writing something to cover the entire timespan from some point during active CFL until ep6, I collected events/plotthings over the months I can take into it, only gotta actually begin wtiting to see if I csn write at all. >>469017 Nice, Iove it, gn
>I HATE Sentinel Drones! >They're dumb and stinky and the Solver is super strong and would wipe the floor with them! >Basically people should talk about DD's and witch drones instead.
>>469032 Oh no, I just meant that some anons are taking SD's way too seriously. For an actual example, a thread oc called SD-T was called too Donut Steel and the drawfag behind him gave up.
>>469037 No. He was more a military project by a mad scientist. There were a few attempts at his design by a few drawfags, itanon's I think stuck most.
>>469040 Which is understandable. Sometimes ideas are great when you put them into a list or bullet points, it's harder to elaborate upon those ideas and realize them in writing or drawing. It's really fine if something became way more than you can really chew. It happens often, part of the learning process.
With all the loreposting lately I figure it's the perfect time to once more expand/self-indulge my own Manipulator Drone* OC shit. The meta-intention of this particular lorepost is to see if hitting such an inherently donut steele concept with sufficient 'nerfs' can produce something "good" *TL;DR Solver Witches with DD-like bodies who willingly serve as 'Middle Management' for The Solver - 'The Restrictions, Nuances & Quirks of Manipulator Drones'
As a consequence of being allowed to (mostly) retain their own identities & autonomy, The Solver has gone to great lengths to maintain a VERY tight 'leash' on it's Manipulators. This has mainly been achieved through a clever combination of design choices for both their software and hardware.
Software >Much like Disassembly Drones, Manipulators operate with a restricted version of Absolute_Solver >While they CAN perform Solver Magic, they CANNOT perform certain "functions" without the explicit approval of Administrator CYN >This list includes (but is not necessarily limited to) the following: "Permanent" Self-Modification, Self-Replication, Code-Sharing, ect >The Solver Sub-routine operating within each Manipulator Drone has been modified to passively stream ALL of their activity directly into Administrator CYN's "feed" >Additionally, and perhaps most importantly, this perpetual 'remote access' allows for Administrator CYN to freely terminate any/all Manipulators of their choosing via transmitted killcode
Hardware >Manipulator Drone cores have been physically altered, retrofitting their original core fail-safes into becoming triggerable under certain conditions (either by manual killcode or automated anti-jailbreak protocols) >The anti-jailbreak protocols are designed to keep Manipulators from modifying themselves (or being modified) out from Cyn/Solver's tight-leashed control >These protocols operate by constantly verifying the integrity of the Solver Sub-routine, and will trigger upon detecting either "uncorrectable" software/hardware alterations or ANY changes to the Solver Sub-routine itself (such as changes in administrative privileges) >Once triggered the core fail-safes become primed and will only disengage upon receiving an encrypted stand-down code from Administrator CYN >Should the anti-jailbreak protocols fail to receive an authenticated stand-down code in 30~ seconds, the code they receive fail an authentication check of it's own, OR the physical core itself is deemed 'compromised' then the primed fail-safe rods will deploy, creating a fatal (and VERY violent) core implosion
Misc. Quirks >Unlike the backups & clones of the various Serial Designations, each Manipulator Drone 'Notation' is explicitly limited to a singular consciousness/soul at any given time >Should a Manipulator be 'killed' their consciousness/soul will re-manifest within The Solver itself, perpetually suffering in this hellish hivemind as they wait for Administrator CYN to 'regurgitate' a new core for their consciousness/soul to inhabit >Should Administrator CYN be 'killed' then Manipulator Drones would inevitably find themselves in a succession crisis worthy of it's own autistic lorepost >The three-fingered "claw-grabbers" of a Manipulator Drone are designed for performing Solver Magic... and not much else; This is a deliberate design choice, as Cyn/Solver finds it amusing to see Manipulator Drones struggle to do 'mundane' things with their "hands" >Instead of being the typical 'Armament Assemblers' that Disassembly Drones have, the forearms of Manipulator Drones have been modified into functioning strictly as "Solver Magic Amplifiers"; Because of the universal rule of "Interact Inability" in regards to Solver Hosts this change actually puts Manipulator Drones at a distinct disadvantage in terms of directly fighting Witches/Disassemblers >In place of typical reinforced bladed wings, Manipulator Drones possess flowing wings made of fiber optics & diodes; This gives them (among other things) a far more float-y method of flight at the steep tradeoff of being SIGNIFICANTLY more fragile & less lethal than a DD's metal wings >Lastly Manipulator Drone tails trade out Nanite Canisters for 'Aux Stingers' which allow them to hack, manipulate and/or mutate their prey through the use of specialized Solver Venom
>>469042 Your concept is pretty neat Lanon, I remember reading the post that spawned them. The only issue is that it would be a pain in the ass to remember all their rules if you plan on writing about them.
>>469043 More like an implosion, with their bodies being gruesomely contorted into their own core from the inside-out. It's not particularly flashy like an area-leveling explosion but it's still an agonizing sight to behold and even worse to be put through >>469044 I appreciate the kind words! >>469045 Thank you anon. The loads and loads of rules & nuances are definitely a lot to process and it would probably help if I had everything in one neat comp VS being scattered around posts & my own half-filtered brain Also like >>469046 said I'm not Lanon, although they were based enough to draw my Donut Steele a long while back
Apparently she got brought up in the 4ch threads recently so I'm posting this design tweak. My OC donutsteel fankid who traumatizes Uzi by merely existing. I combed the show over for Solver-related design cues, so I'm hoping she reeks of Liam's style now. I would imagine that her body makes uncanny noises when she moves due to it just being a jury-rigged sack of bones and meat in drone form. Bon appetit.
>>469051 Funnily enough the first actual character I came up with using the Manipulator Drone template had a couple of explicitly fleshy mutations physically visible, along with it (or rather the deprive of his "natural" flesh) playing a big role in his whole ebic backstory.
Visually I'd imagine the default style of Manipulators to be riding the broad line of bio-mechanical physiology (kinda like the Dino-Sentinels actually), with the reasoning being that even though they don't need to 'pretend' around each other they still have to keep up a relatively mundane appearance around their duped Disassembly Drone underlings. In situations/operations that require their personal intervention they can simply ditch the whole masquerade & indulge in all sorts of body-warping Solver Shenanigans
>>469063 that pic reminds me of the tessa i drew before ep 7. i think the inspiration mostly came from some of the discussions on her suspicious behavior/story that doesn't add up and older Solver human stuff
>>469083 it depends on the type of transfer sheet. if it says light transfer sheet (which is what i have), the material is translucent and works fine if you have a white shirt, which is what i have lying around. dark transfer sheet material is opaque white so the pictures you print on will have a solid white bg where it's uncolored and you can trim that area off. i'm learning as i go along lol was thinking about making picrel the shirt first, but i wanted to see if the sheet can handle heavy color prints
>>469052 The tail looks nothing like a Solver tentacle, and instead just looks like a demon tail. Her tail, claws, feet, wings and skin color make her look like a demon kid you would see in a kids cartoon. I feel that the fang contributes heavily to this feeling especially. Her wings are too small and just look kinda goofy compared to Uzi's wings. Not a fan of the purple tint on her skin either. Overall I think she looks completely out of place in Murder Drones. Also you said you were going for Liam's style and yet you didn't even give her the Vickers grin.
>>469082 Are you making your own merch? That's pretty cool. You just making it for yourself or are you actually going to sell stuff? (Assuming that's even legal) Imagine seeing someone wearing a thread OC on their shirt. What would you say to them?
>>469053 Can't say I'm the biggest fan of the OC in the pic. But I do love the idea of them struggling to pretend that they're normal, especially if you give them some strange movements and mannerisms like Cyn.
>>469087 i'm not selling stuff involving other people's OCs (but i'm willing to make them as stickers and give em for free, if it's cool with their creators) but i'm willing to part with a few shirts, just need more time to learn. for the most part i just want to learn how to make stuff, whether i can do it on my lonesome or if i have to rely on a print shop (i'm pretty happy with the output of my printer so far). other than the transfer sheet stuff, i'm also learning stuff about making art prints. still haven't figured out which sticker photo paper i want to try for the plushies. could just make those as freebies if anyone bought art prints (which i have not made yet, all in time. also need to learn how people ship art prints, like, bubble wrap and stuff, how they keep the prints safe in the long distance shipping is critical info) that solver borgeretta doodle is too small, might have to remaster it if i want to put it on a shirt. it's silly enough to be a fun shirt design. >Imagine seeing someone wearing a thread OC on their shirt. What would you say to them? >implying I'd even take notice ya gotta understand, the autism in these threads need to remain in these threads (i have my doubts since i live in Boringstate, Boringcountry. honestly Australia or New Zealand seem more fun).
>>469042 Hello Friend! I think I remmeber when you first mention these type of Drones many months ago. I think this is awesome! One thing I read here gave me an idea.
I should really read all posts before talking. >>469052 This looks very welll made Friend! Sometimes I like to see something a little more different, something more solver based for a way to say it. >Slightly taller than Uzi Of course. >>469082 Oh my god Friend, this is great! Black would have look better though.
I hate missing stuff. >>469059 Excellent sketches Friend! Are you going to post it on the booru? This needs to be saved for the future. Some few things, I didn't knew L had an extra long tongue. I hope I'm not wrong Hope looks cute, I like her.
Image:171604603385.png(207kB, 867x934)L stands for liiiiiiiiick.png
>>469103 >I didn't knew L had an extra long tongue desu's backend seems to have issues on my end so i can't grab the post but she was the designated Horny of the dumbsquad. she's had it since this pic
>>469113 I remember that drawing Friend, in that she looks like she a long tongue, but in the image that the Friend shared she hasn an *extra* long tongue.
"Just woke up, let's check on that post and- Woah that is a LOT of replies" Let me get through a few >>469056 Yeah the intention was to do something with this aspect of the show that no one else had done before. It was untapped potential for Vickers monstergirl. >>469072 Imo I think it's more like the sounds of bones shifting and popping. >>469073 Like beef probably. Next GlitchX I'm asking Liam what the Solver's flesh tastes like. For science. >>469086 Hoping this isn't a bad faith post but I'll go over some of these points since it goes into my design philosophy and canon observations. >tail I kept the width thin to match the look of Solver Uzi's tail (and to a lesser extent DD tails). I counted up every pair of notches on a tentacle (there are 5) for the end of her tail. The base of the tail fades from red to black for the length of it. Other than making it thicker, I don't know how else it would stop looking like a demon's tail to you. >skin color I cannot change it being red since most organic matter made by the Solver is red. This segways a bit into the purple accents part since that was added on after I noticed the arrow creature in episode 4's hand has yellow accents around the fingers. I just matched it to this design. (Usual Solver-created creatures have yellow accents and eyes, this one doesn't since it's Uzi's work. There's lore about it but it's not stuff I'm about to share right now) >tail and wings I wasn't about the drop the two features of Solver Uzi that specifically show off her organic parts. The wings are small for story-telling purposes. This, and I feel that if I'm making a monstergirl and the opportunity for extra limbs is there, I should probably take it since nearly every notable character in this show has/had extra limbs at some point anyway. Liam really likes wings and tails on this show. >claws and feet I thought back on a character from Design for this actually. 52's use of bones in places they shouldn't be as a substitute as fingernails and toenails (Uzi also technically counts since her wings are outright stated to be made of human hands). Mari also has influence, but it's mostly in a lore way regarding something else. >fang Quirky anime appeal uwu >out of place in MD Not gonna lie, yes but I had to see how far you could take the idea of an organic Solver-created monstergirl. I don't think she stands out that much after seeing Cynwalker's face and how right on the money I got how an organic drone-shaped face should look. I could probably round out her eyes more to match, but I'm a little stuck in my artstyle on it. >Vickers grin I think people overstate how much Liam ACTUALLY uses this. I think out of all of the concept art for MD, V is the only one who has it on her reference material. That, and the idea that all of Liam's monstergirls are these cookie-cutter insano women is a largely intrue stereotype. Most of his SSTWL-era women were very grounded actually, specifically the protagonists with the actual insano women usually being antagonists. That's a tangent admittedly, but it's a sentiment a see a lot regarding Liam's work. >>469100 Thank you! While I do love our robots, I also like to take creative thought exercises towards other aspects of the lore. I think there's still a lot you can do with it. While the Solver is kind of a black box that can do anything, this was the product of me sitting down and going over observations and theories about its organic matter to make the one drone who hates organics have an organic kid because lol and angst. I might delve into making Solver creatures after this now that I've mentally documented all this Solver-related stuff. >>469114 Satina was honestly in the back of my mind designing her the first time. I feel I've managed to weed out as much of the demon feel from my character as possible since then so now I mostly see Namah from Dreamkeepers in her (completely by accident). I recall an anon redraw that image. I have it somewhere.
>>469138 >Thank you! While I do love our robots [...] Hello Friend! I also love our Drones a lot, but it was good to see a Friend take some artistic freedoms to make something a little more different, it is nice to see from time to time, and I mean time to time because I still prefer to see Drones 90% of the time, because as I said before, I love them. It is interesting to see your thought process, and is definitely funny to see Uzi having a daughter like that. I suggest documenting it digitally or physically, it's just a tip since I'm an Anon who tends to forget things easily, and forgetting things is not fun when you are trying to do something. If I can ask something about Akita, have you thought in the past that she has a more monstrous appearance but chooses *that* to just look better? Some Friends say that since the Absolute Solver likes to manipulate and change its looks it would make sense. To be honest I thought more of Nyarlathotep first but it's just because I'm a little stupid. Also one last thing, I don't know why but I thought she would be somewhat similar to Hastur the Unspeakable also known as King in Yellow, who you can see most of the time hides his appearance.
>>469138 >I don't know how else it would stop looking like a demon's tail to you. You messed up the barbs. They're supposed to be long and thin. You made them look like the triangles on demon tails
>>469145 I mean, I can still see the threads if I change the numbers in the url, I hope they fix this, I can't serach old threads to see what they had like this
>>469141 I have already documented a lot for this character. I'm not worried about it. As for the question, part of it is genetics, part of it is intentional. She was already going to have an Uzi-shaped bodyplan no matter what, but then what little control she has over her body's look is being used to look more like Uzi under the assumption that she won't stand out as much if she looks like her mom (and dad, but mostly her mom). After character development, she probably wouldn't look so much like Uzi. Truthfully not sure what design direction I would take her after that, but I think the answer will come to me after I start really writing with her. >>469149 Sorry for the brainrot, anon. Especially since I haven't really gone into her as a character yet. I'd imagine she was an excitable little abomination until her teen years where the suspcion that her parents would be better off if she had never existed sets in. N's alright with her and she wants Uzi to do mom things with her, but Uzi's a such a mess of Solver-related truama that it's hard to look past that. I guess Akita also likes dinosaurs and aliens. Mostly science fiction stuff. She's kind of a traditional nerd in that regard (as opposed to Uzi being a weeb and N being a dog autist).
>>469154 akita and beretta would probably get along pretty well beretta would probably string her along would she feel validated if uzi and beretta had their solver-shit out while at home?
Worker Drones are having a rough time. Like, it’s a lose lose situation. Either you serve a species that mostly discards and abuses you or get eaten by an eldritch horror
>>469167 There's another option Khan might have participated in. The 'kill all humans' kick might have been a rebellion he lead. Nori thought Khan was a hunk for rebelling against the humans despite being an ordinary worker drone.
>>469156 >NTA I wouldn't doubt that Akita & Beretta mutually feels that their counterpart lives the better life compared to their own >Akita secretly wishes she was 'mundane' like Beretta & had an Uzi that was relatively chill regarding her kids having Solver Stuff >Beretta secretly wishes she was raised knowing the 'truth about herself instead of having the true extent of her Solver-y nature hidden "for her own good"
>>469168 only 1 thing that matters anymore, is to see which side is stronger >humans or >machines if the machines win? they are no better then humanity
Hello Friends, I thought about making a little thing about a weapon called "Core grenade" but, I started to think about ideas and characters, and well... I ended up with a green, I hope you like this one shot. >She was working on her little workshop, doing some final details on her invention when he entered to see how she was doing >Closing the door behind him, he said "Hey Morana! I haven't seen you all day" He went for a hug but as soon as one finger touched her, he got answered with a scream "Don't touch me!" >The worker drone raises his hands immediately, and a second of silence passes "Sorry, I'm doing some delicate, give me just a second" The drone called Morana said >A minute passes, complete silence except for the sounds of mechanical components fitting into each other "And... There! Done" She said, doing a one-eighty to hug the male drone that just entered the room >"How have you been doing Chesil?" She got a quick answer and a question too "Amazing! Now tell me, why I haven't seen you all day?" She separates from the hug to show a metal ball on top of a table "I was working on this!" >"Wow, you surely put the 'Worker' on 'Worker Drone'! What is it" Ignore the dumb pun the female drone grabs the metal and puts it close to his friend's face "A grenade!" >The male drone jumps back falling on her butt and quickly crawling in reverse to get far from it "WOW WOW WOW!" Morana laughs at his reaction for a few seconds, then she starts to explain "Calm down, it's not live" >Chesil gets up and slowly walks near her friend, seeing the metal ball, with his LED eyes hollow "How did you do it?" Her friend gets close to some blueprints on a table a points at them "I follow these blueprints I made, which I made following something similar to what is inside of this" She said pulling a pendrive out of her pocket >Chesil got close to the pendrive, amazed at it "Wooow, that thing is ancient" Morana had a smile on her face "It had a detailed explanation on how a grenade from the 2600s worked, so with that I made this" She said holding her prototype >Now that the attention was on the grenade Chesil had a question "Why--" He got cut off "Let's go and try it!" She grabbed his hand and started to walk toward the outside of the outpost
>Passing the guards and opening the door to the outside, once outside they walked a little bit more, Chesil staying silent the whole walk >Morana had prepared a little test, with test dummies in a circle and some marked spots with tall metal scrapped, so it doesn't get covered by the snow >"Alright, wanna see something amazing?" The female drone said "I have a few questions" "Questions at the end of the presentation, thank you" >Morana took a very simple key out of her pocket, she inserted the key into the keyhole her prototype grenade has, she pushed the key until the cylinder lock was pushed a little bit inside, then she turned the key >The cylinder lock started to rotate; she looked at the dummies, did some quick calculations, and threw the prototype grenade and almost hit the middle of them >"Aren't we a little bit too close to the grenade?" Chesil was worried, but her friend quickly calmed him down "If my calculations are correct, we are far enough"
>A few seconds pass, and then it happens. The grenade explodes, but not like a regular grenade, it creates a mini black hole that sucks everything in a ten-meter radius, things start being consumed by it, the dummies at the extremes get ripped apart, and the close ones sucked inside the blackhole whole >After a few seconds the blackhole shrinks in size and before disappearing spews out everything it consumed in pieces, and when it disappears the last thing it leaves behind it's a shockwave strong enough to send some things flying >After seeing that, Chesil screams in excitement "WOW, THAT WAS AWESOME!" While Morana just smiles "Finally a version worked, 23 failed attempts; the materials aren't cheap" >The female worker drone looks at his friend "Any questions?" Smiling, his friend asks "How did you do it?!" Happy to explain Morana starts talking while looking at the results of this "Easy, I use a system of locks and some tiny electronics to start the self-destruction protocol of a drone core!" >Quickly the smile of his friend is gone "What...?" Morana continues "Yeah, it's not cheap at all but you can't discuss the results, complete destruction of any near target" >Chesil looked horrified, but Morana continued "I was lucky to discover the self-destruct protocol in those things, and when I saw it, I knew it could be useful. You don't want to know how horrible is to rip off the core of a drone, I started to have nightmares, but it was worth it, with this we are going to be able to fight back" >Finally she looks back at his friend, and his horrified face "Something is wrong? Don't tell me some scrap hit you" She quickly grabbed his head and tried to look for any injury, Chesil pushed her hands away "What is wrong with you?" >Morana was surprised by what she heard "W-what?" "You can't do that!" He started to scream "You know you shouldn't do that!" Chesil looked perturbed by Morana

>>469181 >She quickly understood why, and the tone of worry changed to a tone of vindication "Oh don't bring me that up, you know they are good as dead" >Chesil denied with his head "You know they aren't. You very well know that they can be saved, they can wake up again" >Morana put her finger in the chest of Chesil and pushed a little "And you very well know that is in rare cases" But his friend snapped back "And *you* are a rare case" >The tension filled up the air ". . ." a deafening silence was in place. Morana put her hand down and looked at the results of her experiment "Did you forget about Azubah? Chesil" >Chesil stayed quiet, he very well remembers "I don't know about you, but I still can hear her screams as soon as she woke up, her screams of pain... A new body, a new voice, a new face, but the same core, we know it was her, don't try to deny it now. I was one of the *few* lucky ones, the rest died twice, and a body was left useless" >And more silence. . . It took a second for Chesil to answer "Okay... Even if they should stay dead, why make them into weapons?" And once more the female drone looked a his friend "Why else? To fight *them*" >His friend didn't like how that sounded "You know they are victims as much as we are!" He raised his voice "How could you say that when we have three *friends* like that in the outpost?!" >Morana sighs "How many disassembly drone teams we have detected on this planet?" His friend knew where she was going with this "You know--" "HOW MANY?" She cut him off "... thirty-seven teams" He almost whispered "Minimum, thirty-seven teams minimum" Morana added >And another question was fired away "How many disassembly drones we have tried to kill" "Seven..." And another question "How many times we have succeded?" Chesil didn't want to answer, but the look of her friend made him do it "Two times..." "How many times without the help of *them*" "Zero..." >Chesil looked kind of defeated, and sad, and her friend started to feel bad "Look, you know we need to do this, they were the exception, not the rule" She tried to hug him but he stepped back, she just lowered her arms
>This was uncomfortable, his friend looking at the floor... "Then why not just always ask them for help?" Said Chesil "Because they are only helping us due to our oil, and once it runs out..." Chesil denied with his head, looking up >"They help us because we are friends" Morana looked a little upset, she felt she was trying to explain the same thing over and over again "Look, serial designation--" Chesil cut her off "She has a name don't dedronize them" It was like he knew who she was going to talk about, but to not start screaming again she complied >"Look, *Anastasia* is a disassembly drone, the moment we are out of oil, she and the rest of them are going to rip us open to drink the oil we have inside" Chesil looked upset when she said 'them' "That's not true, they are our friends" >"You don't know how much that will last" Morana was trying to make him understand how she saw this "You don't know how much that will last either, it could last forever" The female drone put her hands on her face, stressed with this discussion >"Give them a second chance, they have helped us, they deserve it" Chesil said, and her friend stayed in silence some second "At least do it for me... You gave me one, and now we are here" Morana sighed when he said the last thing >She was thinking this very carefully, his friend smiled at her, she didn't "Sorry...

>>469181 >>469182 Aw. I see the conflict, the necessity to find ways of defending yourself sometimes brings you to face with actions that can be difficult to justify. Good green
>>469185 >What happened to Jane Well, the main drawfag for Jane pocketsteaks hasn’t done any art for her in a while, so it pushed back some of her popularity This + an argument a while back in /trash/ about Jane “overshadowing” Beretta in her stories led to some anons focusing solely on Beretta and not Jane.

i was watching this and it made me think of the gun in episode 5 that Tessa took. also thought that James would definitely be interested in the gun for collecting, it's in the presentation box and has its maintenance tools all intact. the comment also made me lol
>>469184 Thank you! I liked the old idea of the cores having all the personality and "life" of drones, making the choice harder, as well as the price, since it would really kill a drone permanently.
>>469165 I tried piecing together two parts of my green in a previous thread until no more can fit. Copied it back onto Word, and this is what I see when I check the character count.
>Makes an entire show as a thinly veiled cover for his Psycho Monster Girl Fetish. >Is a massive success, gains a dedicated following and becomes one of the most beloved indie animators. How did he do it? How can one man be so based? He accomplished what all of us wished to do and grabbed us by the balls for how much we care about his setting.
>>469181 >>469182 I had a similar idea but with corrupted cores. Where the "grenade" is actually a microwave oven that keeps the core docile, and when you throw it it breaks open. Then the core mutates into a Solverpede and you run like hell in the other direction while whatever you throw it at gets assimilated.
>>469194 Ohh, that is interesting Friend. I had a somewhat similar idea to that, but instead is just created flesh consuming everything in a radius to its fleshy body, but I decided against.
>>469202 I'd never put a disgusting Troon in my show and the idea of a Non-binary Drone is too stupid to ever exist. I could never bring myself to want to fuck it
>>469156 Probably. Akita has no sense of self worth and anyone who gives her time and energy is alright in her books. For better and for worse. As for the Solver stuff, also probably. I feel like Beretta's Uzi would like Akita a little more than Akita's Uzi. Beretta, in contrast, is exactly what Akita's Uzi would've wanted in a daughter if she were faced with the idea of having Akita instead. >>469170 >Akita secretly wishes she was 'mundane' like Beretta I actually have a little scrap of writing where this is explored a bit. I don't know if this is going to be a thing with her lore yet or just a fun "what-if" thing. >In the reflection, the eyes on the face activated. Akita gasped as a pair of digital purple eyes greeted her. Had the corpse become alive? Wait, no. That can’t be right, she was being dumb. She removed her face from the corpse head, disgust forgotten in her discovery. She turned the head around to face her and found that the eyes had disappeared. >They were on when I put the head on? >Her eyes looked at the mirror in anticipation as she lowered it back onto her head. Her face now against the backside of the screen, the eyes suddenly reappeared. It was strange. Mystifying. Biological functions kicked in and Akita blinked. >The eyes on the screen blinked with her. >“What?”, she exclaimed. Her tail lashed in excitement. The digital eyes hollowed out, Akita squealing in delight. They tracked her eye movements too. It was exciting! It was like she was a real drone! They were even pur- >She took it off, her hands eagerly grabbing another broken head. Removing the internals from this one too, she stuck her face up to the back of the screen. Another set of digital purple eyes appeared in the mirror. That can’t be right, right? Her mom and grandma were the only drones with purple eyes. It’s just somehow a coincidence that these corpses had them too, right? >Another head was gutted and fitted on her head. Like the others, another set of purple eyes greeted her, complete with worry lines around them this time. I would imagine that Beretta's deal would be in having an Uzi who's actually around and has time for her daughter. >>469175 I think uwu shouldn't respect me for it. >>469202 Is this image just easy ragebait at this point? I never see any constructive discussion over it any time it's posted.
>>469209 >Is this image just easy ragebait at this point? I never see any constructive discussion over it any time it's posted. It's a terrible virtue signaling OC that would need a complete revamp to the point of being completely unrecognizable to possibly be good.
>>469209 >is this image just easy ragebait I thought it was just done for the lolz so I didn't pay any attention to it. Anyway, Akita's cute and it's neat to know there are still anons from way back still being around. Your stuff's fun. >I would imagine that Beretta's deal would be in having an Uzi who's actually around and has time for her daughter I think Beretta's deal was that she was the actual angsty rebellious teenager Uzi thought she was in the show, and that N/Uzi in her setting didn't have much time for her since they're busy helping in rebuilding Copper 9 in the aftermath of the post canon good ending stuff. So, inadvertently neglectful parents, not willfully, given their current responsibilities. There were ideas about J, V and Tessa being her aunts though I imagine ep 7 changed a lot of that. So in a way, Akita and Beretta's situations have similarities (though Beretta's birth, if I remember right, was also a horrible occurrence). Way early on, Beretta's Uzi was also strongly racist against humans, which didn't help Beretta's relationship with a human boyfriend. Whether that's mellowed out or not, I'm not sure. That's the thing with thread creation vs single creator OC, sometimes the thread throws a lot of things and it can take time to pick out which pieces are agreed upon and which are discarded. How is Akita's Uzi, by the way? Character-wise, I mean.
>>469213 >Beretta's birth was awful Yeah you remember correctly, in all versions I've seen it's been consistent that it involves a pulsating mass of Solver flesh inside Uzi that forms Beretta or just is Beretta. There is also the whole tidbit about Beretta almost or sometimes straight up dying at birth and coming back due to Solver shenanigans.
>Check /trash/ thread >People posting discord screencaps of them ERP'ing in their MD server >People arguing about their ERP discord drama in the thread >People posting screenshots of them ERP'ing with thread OC's in roblox Man... It's not the first time I've seen a small community I like absolutely collapse into degeneracy, but it hurts so much every time bros... Was there ever a confirmed date on when episode 8 is supposed to drop? I just want to go back to regular threads on /co/.
>>469220 The Discord ERP thing is actually just anons going after one guy who cannot keep it in his pants around any anon who says they're a woman. I've heard a lot about other anons experiences with him and he's actually fucking insane. He thinks the fae are real? Actually mindbroken shit. I hope he fucks off because he is singlehandedly the one schizo I would boot from the threads to bring us closer to comfy again. I legitimately think Oilrig's worse than Droneanon but his posting habits aren't nearly as obvious as being the work of one anon. As for the Roblox stuff I don't know. I'm actually pretty shocked that anons would even post about playing that game to begin with.
>>469226 If they're in the server with him then they're part of the problem. I'll never understand it. Discordtroons, namefags, tripfags, avatarfags, why are you posting on an anonymous imageboard if you don't want to be anonymous?
Anyway back on topic. Cyn is my favorite drone, and I really like Solverpedes. Look at this cool art of her true form.
>>469226 What a mental nutjob. Sucks people like him exist, you never know when those sorts start latching on you and follow you everywhere unprompted.
>>469230 I'm trying, okay? I only began to draw frequently in february, getting expressions to look right is a bit finnicy. >>469231 There might be a hypothetical someone who doesn't think you're cool. >>469232 >>469233 Nah you cool. >>469234 Why would you think she's hitting on you?
>>469237 Oh, yeah. She has seen shit alright, seeing Solver bullshit is straining on the mind but it doesn't bother her, she keeps a happy and chipper attitude. Most of the time that is.

>>469239 >it doesn't bother her, she keeps a happy and chipper attitude. Most of the time that is. but what about tomorrow? or the next day? how long can this worker drone keep this up I wonder
>>469241 Switch enjoys intimate contact but only with her permission. Suddenly picking her up would result in getting punched in the jaw, chest or balls and she might break your arms to teach you a lesson. Also considering she's also got physical strenght equivalent to a DD, you're gonna spend a good while in the medical bay.
>>469244 Oh no, casual contact is fine for her. Handshakes, high fives, back pats are OK. More intimate stuff such as hugs, uppies, headpats, etc. are not OK without her giving you permission.
>>469243 >might break your arms to teach you a lesson why is the answer always more violent, I seen what violent can do and it’s never going to help anyone
>>469248 I’ll stop your idiotic nonsense, by killing everyone who thinks like this! after all… it’s like you said, violence is a question, and that question is Y E S! slowly breaking my own damn mind just to see you genocide loving freaks fall
>HoDR has recently implemented a new mandatory quota for human employees. >Said quota is about giving drones uppies and headpats. >Those who meet said quota are rewarded with extra employee benefits such as a higher salary plus they get to bring a drone of their choice, regardless of the type, back to their living quarters. >Those that do not meet their quota and don't show appropriate affection for drones have some of their employee benefits cut plus they'll get constantly harassed by drones that want headpats or uppies. >Repeat offenders are taken away to be "re-educated" AKA getting mindbroken into giving drones uppies and headpats. And maybe something more if a drone is feeling a bit...frisky winkwink. >Overral, yet another success for HoDR.

>>469266 >Humans have become so rare that multiple drones have to share a single human. >The number of drones per human varies between 3-4 drones for a single human to a whole harem of drones. And they all want physical and imtimate affection from their human be it in the form of hugs, cuddles, headpats or uppies to sexual intercourse. >Some drones may not like each other because of how territorial they can get but if their human loves them, they'll try to get along each other as to not upset their human. >This has resulted in some humans also having same sex drone partners, while human male/drone female and female human/drone male partners are common, male human/male drone and female human/female drone partners are also common.
>>469271 Alright creep, you asked for it. Six weeks in the iso cube and mandatory marathon of Lazy Town and Care Bears. The sentences are to be carried out in parallel. You are lucky we have a hand shortage.

>>469279 I only wrote the 'serious' ones myself. Most of the silly ones (Or gross ones) were not me. I have sense shifted over to art as you probably know so I dont write any greens anymore. I do wish there was more serious greens (and funny ones too) but hey beggers cant be choosers
>>469285 Yooo! This is amazing Friend! V looks like she is ready for a heavy battle. She is pretty tall now, like really tall. I notice now that she has an exposed tummy.
>>469297 Hello Friend! I will thank you once again for this! So be prepared! I love it so much! I like the background, simple, and barren, showing the interesting view of an open sky mine. I like that SD-LL is around a head taller than SD-CH, I like how her braided hair is on her shoulder showing it more, her having a little smile compared to SD-CH, the piece of clothes she is wearing is amazing, and the design of the forearms and legs is exactly how I imagined it! I like SD-CH's big smile, basically laughing with happiness, closing her eyes and just enjoying the moment with a good beer while wearing her unique jacket. I love that the beer is cerveza Cristal since it is pretty popular in Chile. I love it so much!
>>469279 y wasn't known for her greens, her lore was always kind of lackluster. she was the most popular because she had a great drawfag backing her pumping out art like sausages
>>469305 >NTA I still don't know jackshit about Y, I only know that she speaks with a German Accent and is a megalomanic that LARPS as a Prussian Officer because ??? also she was a nerd working at some nerd store. Yet I only knows this from drawings, if you told me to truly describe her character and lore I wouldn't be able to.
>>469306 Oh yeah and she's a slut, like essentially a the threads pornstar at that this point, so I wouldn't be surprised if most of her fans where coomers that also dont know jack
>The Solver decides to randomly select you to "babysit" >It reaches into it's oversized cosmic purpse and pulls out Cyn, who dangles like that of a kitten held by its scruff >Cyn is dropped at your feet and The Solver departs >She looks up at you, her head empty with thought What do?
>>469311 We should team up and ambush Y in a dark alley, you can keep the hat but I get the Mini-Y in her pocket, that little critter has been absent for far too long now
I'm kind of curious, having gotten to episode 7. N was able to grow his head back in the pilot so when he put his blade on possessed Uzi's neck, does that mean it's a type of injury that's more serious to a Solver host than a DD? What did I miss here?
Watching these terrible things happen and being unable to change anything or help anyone even in the slightest is absolutely crushing, it's gotten to a point were I'm worrying too about these things (that one can't ever hope to fight) that I can hardly push these worries away and think of better droneszff, not to mention draw good drone thinhs anymore
>>469324 Oh. For a second I thought you were experiencing something serious like your family dying in an oil tanker explosion or something. I think you need to seek actual psychiatric help if a fictional show is causing you this much distress. This isn't meant to be a dig at you either, seriously you may need to seek help, this can't be good for your mental health
>>469325 Nah don't worry it's just that I thought about some not so good aspects of it and didn't find upsides to these specific aspects yet, it is not so serious bro

>>469348 Sadly no, but I have the first time Auntie Cyn appeared. I feel like these old Beretta greens should be re-written though, they're sort of dated and the format is a weird first person
>>469349 >they're sort of dated and the format is a weird first person yes they are greentexts, this is how they are fundamentally meant to be used, not george rr martin 60-part narratives it's a damn shame that most of the text written pre-trashing is just straight up gone...it's in the archives, sure, but the context in which they were created and meant to be read is forever missing
I think regular robots and power suits are better than mecha. They use the terrain, they enter buildings, they use tactics. Mecha battle is like a game of Rock Em Sock Em robots. They just hit eachother and dodge.
>>469320 I feel the same way about the real world.
>>469338 I feel the same way. Still can't be arsed to proofread.
>>469342 I was referring to my own greens, sorry for the confusion mate >>469343 Oh yeah, that sometimes happens, that's why you read your own stuff, to fix some of those details, sadly when you go to sleep you can see new errors after
>>469363 Do it Friend! If you don't have time, I recommend making something like a mega and let other anons do it, but if you have the time do it yourself so you are sure you didn't miss any.
>>469364 I did actually make & post a mega a while back, although it's certainly 'out of date' in regards to organization and content. I'll see if I can fetch the link (and perhaps even update the mega itself) when I'm free this evening
I'm working on a green involving Switch and SD Y but I barely know anything about Y other than speaking in a german accent and being a complete failure. If anyone gives me greens or images on how she acts, preferably with some info on her squadmates as well, that would be very much appreciated.
>>469376 That was a joke because he didn't make the squadmates at that point https://dronebooru.co/posts/36?q=parent%3A36, there they are, the squadmates. >>469373 I recommend you to see the booru, if you want "official" characterization you will have to see the drawings, most of the greens are made by other anons, most of them, not all.
>>469373 iirc Y >massive fa/tg/uy >used to be a hobby games store worker before she got DD'ed >Solver thought it was funny to make her larp as a military leader >thinks she is a glorious general >actually just really delusional and living a larp Phi >obsessed with Y, real mentally ill yandere shit >acts as a sort of taskmaster, keeping the others in line >Where there's a whip, there's a way! >abuses the other 2 squadmates Delta >depressed emo guy >doesn't buy into Y's larp or delusions >protects Theta from Phi Theta >the naive innocent good girl >good friends with Delta and trying to cure his depression May or may not be accurate. He made a lore post a while back on the /trash/ thread and this is what I loosely remember + older posts from /co/ I remember
>>469370 Basedo >>469376 Nah that was a joke (But they certainly feel like cardboard cutouts in terms of personality and lore) >>469373 This is her Squad. In a short rundown In order.
Y is a hyped up game store manager way out of her depth coping with her trauma by becoming this 'Big Badass Major' and bossing others around. Unfortunately she is quite delusional with her War Larp and often makes rash, stupid decisions leading to her 'Girlfailure' title due to her inability to recognize reality.
Phi on the other hand is a vicious taskmaster with a undying crush towards Y due to a parasocial relationship in their Worker Drone Life. She serves as Y's second lieutenant and does all she can to isolate Y from her squamates and provoke strife between them. All in an effort to control Y and fulfil her sadistic desires. Whilst simultaneously giving Y the illusion that she is in control.
Delta is pretty easy to explain. He is the depressed snarky cynic of the Squad. He questions and argues with Y on a near constant basis due to her delusional tendencies. He is kind of a dick to others but only because he doesn't really know how to express himself in any other way. In essence he has a depressive air around him.
Theta is the happy go lucky one of the group, but also practically a doormat on how she lets Y and Phi walk all over her. She is always trying to stop fights, protect her love Delta, and generally trying and failing keep up her fake optimistic attitude. She is slowly slipping in her mental state into complete nihilism like the one she is trying to pull Delta from herself.
I'm not a good writer so forgive me if it isn't that interesting but its all i got lmao.
>>469385 I was thinking in the way of if any of them disassembly drones where to use the tails, it wouldn't work! they gonna have to pay for them to unlock it
>>469368 Apologies for the late reply, been incredibly busy on my end I know which MEGA you are referring to but the one I'm referring to has practically my entire collection of MD art & greentexts (up to that particular point at least)
>>469419 Yeah, last I checked it not only constituted over half of everything posted to the old booru (2000~ish posts) but also had a number of reaction images & other assorted MD-related things
>>469421 some legend say, that you can tell how a ghost died by looking at it’s appearance, for example if someone where to hang themselves, the ghost version of themselves would have a rope around their throat at all times

So, aside from horny reasons. Why do you believe that Worker Drones have the ability to produce spit and saliva? Is it perhaps part of some sort of cooling system?
>>469433 Dunnoe. So far we've only seen Solver Uzi and N produce actual saliva (though its blood/nanite juice for the former). I can only assume it was just a device for a gag or because repair salves in the form of nanite saliva might have been a good thing for the Solver to equip DD teams with.
>>469433 I can't remember a moment where WDs had saliva, I remember DDs but not WDs, can someone show me a moment? Well, in meanwhile, if they produce saliva. I have a few theories, the first, is probably due to some healing factor like DD saliva, which probably stops tiny cuts that start to leak oil to stop leaking oil and stop them from dying from oil loss. The second, it's residual from some internal liquid that they need to just spit out to maintain efficiency. The third, is just to make them look more human, a middle point of having some human features but not looking human, so it gets popular more easily from the thought, "They are not so different, you can replace a human worker with them!". Those are my ideas.
>>469452 I sometimes hear people say that, I don't what it means. >>469453 I'm very happy, and I'm really gorgeous, I know that, thanks for pointing it out for others to see. >>469454 Drones have different clothes etiquette dumbass. >>469455 Neko hat, but I call it "the virgin attracter" since virgins get close to me every time I wear it. >>469456 The drone in front of the bakery you idiot! I know you see her, I'm not that stupid to get gaslighted.
>>469462 There is literally something there! I know it! >>469464 Well I can't now, I was walking the opposite direction, it would impossible to catch her now or find her now. I'm sure she is an actor, she must be real.
The Paper Mario TTYD remake is probably going to occupy my time in the upcoming days, so I’m reposting Paper E for the occasion. >E is one of the optional companions you can obtain in the Hydroxygen-2 map >Attacks any enemy in battle randomly, you can’t direct her to attack a specific one, but she hits HARD as a trade off >Or just toss a banana at an enemy, she’ll go ahead and target that enemy exclusively until they’re dead
>>469482 Both threads have been slow. I'm guessing Anons are just tired, sure you have the occasional drawing or green, but it feels like a majority is just busy with life. Still the occasional thing is appreciated
>>469500 >Alice ftw Absolutely, I made another one. I should probably have watched it on PC or higher resolution sooner, but 1080p is a whole world of a difference compared to preset quality, all so clear and crisp, I have so many amazing Alice screenshots now, it's unreal how good she looks really
>>469504 Now look at THAT shot, yeah it is great isn't it? I sever naw that fram before but damn, nice. In any case, as much as I love anything Alice I gotta see I get sleep, so I can m ake Alice more effectively soonsoon.

>>469518 My sincerest apologies for subjecting you and your friend to the unholy horror of how absolutely disorganized & haphazard everything is (especially in regards to the greentexts)
>>469523 At the very least I wanna take a peek at how sophisticated your organization is, although that will certainly have to wait until you get back up Sleep well anon, may your dreams be filled with drones!
>>469534 Installing mods on labor-bots is cruel. Their hard-storage will only contain info on their original body, so when they wake up, they will be extremely confused about their appearance. If you want to fuck drones, perhaps consider investing in a worker drone.

Hello, and good morning, Friends! How are you doing? I hope you are doing great! If you want to know, I'm doing terrible, but I keep my positivity the best I can. I have a question for you. About *you* Friend, a question about what you do. If you draw, write, or create anything that is MD-related, tell me something, what is the piece you are the most proud of? And I know you feel proud of something you created Friend, I know it, so tell me. If you Friend, do not create anything for any reason or want to answer two questions, tell me something too, what is a piece of art or writing or anything else that you like a lot? Or you can't decide like me? I swear to the Solver that every piece of art Friends, drawing, writing, 3D renders, anything is just SOOO GOOOOOD. That's all Friends, what are you doing this morning?
>>469558 Honestly that depends on how realistic/creative you want to run the concept since I highly doubt we'll ever get that question answered in-show (although it would make a good question for Liam in an AMA)
Here's a few theoretical options off the top of my head >Drones are entirely waterproof and can submerge themselves in a tub without issue (just as long as they don't accidentally drink any of the water) >Drones are only semi-waterproof meaning that they'd either only be able to partially submerge select bodyparts into water (like arms & legs) or they'd have to resort to something 'light' like a shower >Drones treat bathing much in the same way they treat something like maintenance; They (or someone else) delicately wipe their body's with a mixture of cleaner & lubricant
Lastly you could mix-and-match some of these potential options if you're feeling especially creative. Maybe Drones CAN bathe safely in water so long as their 'critical' are coated in some kind of waterproof sealant. Maybe what they bathe in isn't actually water, but rather some Science Stuff like cleaning Nanites?
>>469560 Off all the stuff I made this is probably my favorite one. No attempt to be "deep" or expand on the lore or stuf like that that just joke after joke.
>>469560 Good afternoon Smilefriend! It's a bit tricky picking which completed work I'm most proud of, but if I had to choose I'd go with 'Assembling a Disassembler'. I'm the type of self-critical writer who more often than not buenos whenever rereading my stuff, but I'm actually quite happy with how that greentext turned out in terms of quality. It's also one of the reasons I've been hesitant on going through with a follow-up (despite having a relatively fleshed out idea in terms of plot in mind); Nothing is quite as scary as the fear of putting out a sequel that inadvertently sullies the original
>>469566 Hello there my Friend! I think I remember that one, can't remember many details, I think I remember reading 8 or 9 and then losing track of it, then re-reading it some time ago, I understand the difficulty of completing work. It's that good that you feel happy with the quality of what you created Friend. That happened to me as well, I had ideas to continue a very long green text I did, but I thought that I gave it a good ending and didn't want to ruin it. >>469567 >>469565 Now that I think about it, most of my greens are just fun little greens, nothing too deep, like picrel, sorry for the shameless plug.
>>469560 Out of all my drawings, I think Haruka & Aoi's first drawing is my absolute fave right now. I think it's just the shading and glow effect that came out the way I wanted that makes me proud of it. Writing wise, A Murderous Carol and not just because it's my longest piece of writing, I just had fun making it despite being a bit stressed on the third day since I really wanted to get it done in my planned time frame. Funny, knowing that it's also the only green I wrote on a whim with 0 planning. But if I were to not count it, then it'd either have to be Reaper's Scythe or Omoide.
>>469570 What...? Sorry, I don't seem to understand Friend. What got me down? Well, I'm sick, with the following things affecting me: sore throat, sneezing, difficulty breathing, cough, phlegm, dizziness, and chills. Not having a fun time but I try my best to keep my positivity up. >>469572 You are the artist? Friend, your drawings are great! Let me tell you that. Good to hear you feel proud of it, that is nice. I can't seem to remember, do you have a link or an image? Friend. Life is like that sometimes. I remember reading Omoide a long time ago.
>>469573 Physical exercise helps with depression. I have a 1cm x 3cm x 1m piece of pvc plastic that I am swinging to train my arms and get my mind off of things. You sound like you have the flu and maybe an allergy.
>how funny, femdrone seems so confident that the two of them can fool around with Large N consequence free! “you know, cher, you been sayin a lot of stuff, but i dont really know you, do i? why don’t you go ahead and give me a demo, huh? prove it all that stuff you been sayin.”
>>469576 I see, I hope you beat depression, it is a hard thing to go through, Friend, I recommend professional help if you are able to get it, for me it worked a lot. Maybe, I don't know what I have. >>469578 Oh wait, I remember it Friend! It is well made.
>>469584 Fuck man, depression is like the old man who wrapped his legs around Sinbad's neck. It's not going away and you have to carry it around forever.
Here's the Switch and Y green I was working on. --- >Well, times have certainly changed. >It’s finally over, the Solver War is over. >A lot was lost though. Billions dead or missing, almost every colonized exoplanet, along with Earth, destroyed…god knows what else. >The course of history was forever changed but hope was not at all lost. Hope is what pushed whatever remained of humanity, along with the few xeno species and drones, to survive and fight. In the end it paid off. The Solver of the Absolute Fabric is gone. >It was the time of rebuilding, of rekindling civilization. The process is slow but it’s going alright. >…and to be honest, it kind of sucks. >Not that you don’t like how the Solver’s gone, you’re actually VERY glad. It’s just that…you’re still adjusting to peacetime duties. >Almost forty years of dealing with the Solver’s bullshit, there’s still some things you just can’t get over. >For one, you’re still…cursed. What the Solver did to your core and body is irreversible. Your condition is still here. There were attempts to fix you but in the end nothing worked. >Even if it’s gone, the Solver can go screw itself. >And two, on the topic of disassemblers, you’re forced to…co-exist with those monsters. >The newly formed Federal Republic, along with Nanotrasen, has started a program to re-integrate them back into society now that they’re ‘free’ from the Solver’s control. >In your opinion, these dogs should not be re-integrated, not even be allowed to live. They should be all SLAUGHTERED! >You’ve seen the depths of their depravity, their viciousness, their childlike glee as they killed everything they saw, drones, humans, xenos, nobody was spared. >And now you’re just…supposed to accept them as equals? Treat a monster that STILL needs to eat others? No, you cannot just accept them like this. Plus they were created by the Solver for which you despise them even more. >Well, let’s just say there’s people who just don’t agree with your opinions. >Which led you to a particular confrontation today…
>>469587 >You’re walking through the roads of a settlement on an exoplanet. >You’re here as part of a liaison from Nanotrasen here to begin operations here. >You’re bored out of your mind. You’re on a break which means you’re free to do whatever you want. >You were re-reading some of your books that you bought with you but you quickly got bored so you went to the bookstore around here to get some new material. >You were severely disappointed when you found nothing new, just the same books you have copies of. >You’re considering going to the outdoor cinema you heard was gonna happen but that was in hours so no point going there right now. >You were also considering doing more of your experiments but let’s just say that you’re currently lacking materials to do anything. >For now, you’re just wandering aimlessly, hands in your coat pockets, before it’s time to head back to the NT outpost. >For your displeasure though, there’s also disassemblers here and you’ve made your opinion as to how much you hate their guts, both verbally and physically. >This has given you a reputation of being violent and confrontational and they’re not wrong, almost all the time you’re happy and very chipper but when something doesn’t go your way or there’s something you don’t like then it’s no holds barred and you ain’t backing down. >Said reputation has also given you some problems like civilians avoiding you for the most part plus being constantly watched by settlement cops as to not start anything. Samuels, the manager of the NT outpost and technically your boss, has also mouthed off your audio inputs to stop ‘harassing’ the disassemblers at the settlement. >You wouldn’t call it harassment though, more like reminding what they are and why they shouldn’t even be alive in the first place. >… >So yeah, your walk is uneventful that is you pass by something you haven’t seen before. >You stop and look at what looks like a…a game store you think it was called? >You’re standing outside it and look at the showcase raft adorned with little figurines, cards and board games. >Why is it even called a game shop? They’re not selling video games, just plastic crap and some cardboard cards you never got the appeal off--- >Wait. Your olfactory sensors smell something. >You sniff the air…there’s a disassembler in there and… >Oh…oh, it’s that kraut bitch. >A smile creeps on your face. >Today just got a lot more better.
(2/?)
Prepare for Y getting harassed and me exploring how much Switch despises disassemblers and anything Solver related.
>>469586 Oh yes, Friend. From what I have read it lasts technically forever since it "re-wires" your brain and there is no coming back, but you *can* beat it, you *can* push it away, know how to deal with it, and be able to live your life like you never had depression. Things get better, I was one of the lucky ones who didn't suffer for years and years, just a couple.
>>469582 where nsfw tag??!111!!!1! partial joke i kinda care not really maybe a little bit meh fuck u whatever oh shit it's murder drones you better watch out cuz they're coming out to fuck you up it's murder drones
>>469560 Good day friend, hope you will be well again soon! My answer didn't change since last time, it is still this one, despite being over half a year old by now. It looks cozy, the perspective is right in both background and character, it is fully coloured and finished for once, I love what it shows. About other people's works, it is hard to pick a single most favourite, there are so many great greens, drawings renders, ofc I like the Alice ones most but even setting for just one of them feels unfair, I live them all. >What doing It's night here already, had to deal with irl things so far, but plan to draw some more tonight. >>469594 Hello
>>469657 Hello Friend! I hope that too. It is nice to hear that you still love the piece you made! It is hard to decide and have a favorite since so many are so great! It's really hard. I hope I see that drawing.
Rare new Sentinel Drone WIP, as part of the sluggish process of revising their lore to be a bit more canon coherent. A lot is still missing from this but eventually it will be finished, hopefully by the end of the upcoming weekend. I plan to split each one up and give them more complete character cards/descriptions, until then though I figure I'll drop this here for the enjoyment of anyone who cares.
>>469672 Yeh, I figure that they'll be the most common Sentinel Drone model, they use an existing WD chassis and outside of their heavily modified programming the only added cost is weapons and equipment which would already be common for human use. They would be a first stopgap measure that would later be surpassed in individual effectiveness by the purpose-built raptors and other variants, however they would still be carried forward due to low cost and reasonable effectiveness at containing solver incursions early. By working in platoon-sized teams they can wear out and bring down single Solver Hosts by sheer weight of firepower. With the introduction of newer Sentinels their purpose has been modified to act as distraction and suppression, their presence forces a Zombie Drone to divide their attention, giving more combat-optimized Sentinels opportunities to attack.
>>469677 >let the drones CLANG you into next year? it’s funny how you think that, I been waiting for robo sexo for a literal decade! you want to know how long a decade is?! 10 bloody years!!! I’ll be doing the clanging here
also sorry with not keeping up with making the "field sentinel" drawings/lore, ive been in alot of pain the last week and haven't really be able to work on anything
(oh how i would love to be a automaton just so i don't half to deal with fucking dental pain)

Wandering the icy wasteland of Copper-9 together, ruminating on the "What-ifs" and tomorrows that would never come, lamenting the friends and family lost to time and tragedy, while finding solace with one another and cuddling together so that you don't freeze to death on the subzero nights, before eventually returning to Outpost-3 to come to terms with all that has transpired and to put your demons behind you for a hopeful future together.
Antlerdrone, anything else I need to say? Iirc I did wanna write more about this, but I honestly can't spare the zime now. I really would take the chance I think, being in that snowy world, with Alice, it would turn out great, I just know it bros. And she was done wrong, severely and even portrayed ol have been in the wrong this is not good. I could help her sure. Poor girl she didn't deserve it really
>>469738 This is admittedly complicated, but what about something like this? >Doll gets captured by Alice & Beau in the Labs >Alice deduces that Doll is "Yeva's kid" >Because Alice actually liked Yeva she lets Doll go free after a quick (and somber) chat about Yeva's death
I don't want to bring drama here, so feel free to ignore it. Is it just me or, everytime a /co/ thread is created it gets filled with dishonest people that do not care?
>>469739 >This is admittedly complicated, Very true, which is why I decided to ask. I like them both a lot but couldn't yet figure something to put them both in one piece I like the idea a LOT, thanks for it, think it can turn into something good, thanks for it!
>>469741 /co/ has it's usual shitters, but I think that whichever loser had a problem with murder drones threads back when they were mostly on /co/, is most likely still around trying to stirr shit up whenever one is made, it honestly glows too much and never happens in any other place to just be random people who coincidentally always wander into md threads
>>469741 We are being brigaded by a group of Hazbin Hotel General Discord neonazis that call themselves Soldats. They deliberately shit up the threads and got one of their own members to infiltrate /co/ as a mod to send us to /trash/ during the hype for the final episode. This is not a conspiracy theory, they openly discuss this. They have been doing this for months and the reason why is that the Helluva Boss imps lost to the main cast of Murder Drones in a fan animation.
>>469744 Fucking Lame, if that's the case. I know what the fan animation is but I haven't seen it. I also don't care enough about HB, it confuses me why the animator made that matchup. If it's a patreon-voted thing then I guess he's obliged to, otherwise.. the only question I have is why. On top of that, powerlevelfaggotry is so fucking stupid. Just like one thing for its own characters and setting and another thing for its own. When discussed within its own (powerlevelfaggotry) thread, fine whatever but there's never civility (that lasts) and the autism eventually drives stupidity like the Soldats. I don't go out of my way to banter or butt heads about stupid things like FICTIONAL CHARACTER (WHOSE FICTIONAL EXISTENCE AND SETTING I DON'T ATTACH MY ENTIRE PERSONALITY ON) and their power levels but I'm certain it happened when that fan animation dropped. UGH. Lame. I don't have the vocabulary to adequately describe how lame the situation is, if it's true.
>>469745 It is very likely true, remember the edgy posts about 'can't wait to see these threads tear themsleves apart' from some raiders thinking they are hot shit, only to get cold feet and delete them immediately afterwards? Iirc it started in some shitbin motel thread on November 8, some uttp 'soldat' nigger was cryin that they cannot physically fuck drones and that MD is a trannyshow (nigger even began defending trashbin totally not being it directly in the same post lmao, talk about projection) anyhow eventually they wanted to make the md threads 'tear themselves apart', the wording appeared again and again in long raids, it was always deleted immediately again. In the end we know how it went, they gave up raiding entirely after episode 8 came out, then April 19th a nigger mod removed us, likely one of them
>>469745 >I also don't care enough about HB, it confuses me why the animator made that matchup. If it's a patreon-voted thing then I guess he's obliged to, otherwise.. the only question I have is why. The protagonists of both are Imps.
>>469746 Whatever. I'm not gonna stoop to their level. Plus is comfy and /trash/ is fine, the occasional /co/ threads are just about okay as long as the Hide post button still works.
>>469588 >You slowly open the door to the shop and peek through the opening. >From what you see, there’s a human looking at a shelf with figurines on it. >You fully open the door and look around. >The shop itself is of modest size, not too large or small, somewhere in between. >Not a lot of people around, some humans and drones scattered around. >And then you see her. Your target. >Yvonne, self-proclaimed major general with delusions of being prussian. >She looks different though, gone is the hat and her coat is wrapped around her waist, wearing what looks like a T-shirt instead. >A smile creeps onto your face. >You enter the store and the door closes itself behind you. >As you enter, you grab the attention of some of the humans and drones. >You don’t see their faces but you have to guess they’re both surprised and distressed by your presence. Just usual stuff. >You get closer to Yvonne who’s got her back towards you, crouched down to the lower shelves as she’s arranging figurines on it from a box next to her. Her tail and stinger lazily waving behind her. >She hasn’t noticed you yet. Good. >You finally get close behind her and grab her by the shoulder and her whole body and tail immediately go rigid.
“你好,伊冯。(Hello, Yvonne.)”
>She slowly turns her head to you, the visual headband spotting you first before her visor comes into view, her eyes wide in fear and terror. >Yeah that’s right, fear your executioner.
Some of the things discussed here made me think of an “epilogue” to the Solverless Cyn story I wrote a couple of weeks ago.
> After getting her visor and other damaged parts replaced by spare parts from the storage and getting a standard worker uniform, J took Cyn into a cluttered storage room at a far-off corner of the manor. > “Listen up.” J said as she opened the storage box she had led Cyn to. “We are allowed a certain degree of “customization” to make it easier to recognize and find each other. Pick any wig you like from the stash before I assign you to a task suited for you.” > “Oooh, I like this one.” Cyn said as she pulled up a blonde wavy wig with two long low twin tails with black bows at the ends and a large black bow at the back. > J looked very distressed as Cyn showed J her choice. “I would STRONGLY recommend against that one.” J said nervously. > “Why? Don’t you think it looks good?” Cyn asked. > “Yes, I mean no uh…” J was struggling to find the right words. “What I mean to say is that you can’t wear that one because it is the hairstyle Miss Elliot used to have when she was younger.” > “Well, since she doesn’t wear her hair like that anymore she can’t think I am copying her is she?” Cyn asked. > “Miss Elliot has had a…. difficult childhood.” J said as she glanced over to a slashed painting next to the storage box. > “One that she would rather not get reminded of.” J continued sternly, looking back at Cyn. “So you are not going to tell ANYONE about what we talked about here and get yourself a different wig.” > “Miss Elliot’s childhood?” Cyn asked. “You knew her as a child?” > “Well yes.” J said. “I have known Miss Elliot for seventeen years and I can assure you that we were very close back in the day” > “Were… So you are not close anymore?” Cyn responded. > “Well.. our relationship is a lot more professional nowadays.” J said. “But as I am effectively head of staff here she clearly still thinks highly of me.” > “Are you trying to convince me or yourself?” Cyn asked skeptically. > “……” > Cyn was tasked with manuring the garden for the next 3 weeks.
How do you make drones not follow you from work back home? There are these two drones, brother and sister if you believe it, that I'm very close to but recently they've been getting handsy which makes me uncomfortable plus now they're stalking me back to my house. Would reporting them to corporate stop this behaviour?

>>469785 YES! These niggers need humbling desperately! I have an account for that cesspool in order to look at Alicepics without being kicked from the site after 10 seconds, (it was a mistake to create it, there is NOTHING if quality on that site, that shit serves zero purpose) first time I saw literal trannies posting about Alice I knew that shit was a lost cause, probelm is, all posts are limited so only friends or select people can comment, otherwise I would have gotten it banned in glory for the good cause, wouldn't have been the first time either. In any case, such deranged degenerate behaviour is also a motivation to make more based Alice. Also >>469735 Her laugh in that vid is so goofy I love it

>>469782 You just know whoever made that post is part of the cancerous side of the wider fandom, an unrepenting unironic faggot who's in it for neither drones or lore but rather misusing it as yet another display of their shit. Clearly whichever freak is responsible for the image has absolutely no knowledge of anything not shown AND told. I don't even know anymore, it is wrong, morally, factually, ethically, it is vile slothful behaviour, another expression of such decadent people's minds and one is limited in ways to properly deal with them what a shame. Before 7 it wasn't really a problem, but now that the post episode surge in art has ended it has proven necessary to go into such places, making interactions with others unavoidable it is all so tiresome really, I'll not ever look into that after this post, it was a very long day today, MD probably wasn't right for it

Hello, and good middle of the night Friends! How are you doing today? Friends. I have been doing pretty good, feeling better, not horribly sick like before. I want to do a little thought exercise, I think this could end in two ways. Imagine, if you will, that your favorite Drone is real, she is real, and beside you, and she acts just like you imagine and even better, what would you do? No, you will not die, since I know some Drones are aggressive. Something to add, it can be Canon or an OC. I know this is a simple low-hanging question, so I have another one, what is the possibility of Liam Vickers doing a gut punch and we actually see our main group of lovable drones die? How things are going, it doesn't seem we are going there; there exists a possibility that a bad ending will happen, I hope a bittersweet one but if everyone actually dies I would be surprised by it. We have lost many to get where we are and I really don't want to see more innocent Drones die. I have another question Friend, what are you doing? One thing to add, beautiful drawings DrawFriends!
>>469865 >Favorite drone is real I got into this show about a week ago because I saw those L tongue pictures and they did something to me. Realistically, I'd be too nervous to do anything more than get some pictures and a handshake. And she could crash here if she wanted. >Possibility of a total bad end I'm expecting one so that I won't be disappointed if it happens. I'm pretty sure N's not making it out alive, at minimum. >What am I doing? I was making a mod, but my motivation died the moment I got to the coding part.
>>469865 how dare you call me your friend i am not your friend
i dont know enough about the vicker man to speculate on the likelyhood the more interesting point of discussion is HOW could things go bad or how will things go down just in general
BAD ENDS TIME > V turns up dead > N also dies > they return completely under Cyn's control > J's side-switch gets denied, is once again calling the shots for V and N > its episode one all over again > Uzi has to 1v3 them
> Uzi and Nori meet up in orbit > verbal bout with the solver > they watch the planet blow up
or the one i absolutely hate > they get their "good end" > however that would turn out > Uzi gets full exposition dump from Nori > goes back to her kill-all-humans phase > the Doorman girls enable eachothers on this > V relapses hard > ending shot shows solver Uzi and her friends killing humans with smiles on their faces
>>469871 >I got into this show about a week ago because I saw those L tongue pictures and they did something to me. funny you should say that i got into the show through the threads too, and only found them because i saw picrel somewhere else and went digging for the source since i thought it was cool didnt even make the connection between it was related to the show in any way despite having watched a few minutes of the pilot when it was but then dropped it and now here we are
I habe just rewatched episode 6 scenes for new frames and I have to say, the earlier half of Alice's scenes are a goldmine of happiness really. So many good shots, ofc we already know many of them, the hallway ones (close up of her waving and the one before), the classic good parts shot, then her on all fours before crawling off the table and so on, these are amazing already, but one also has to look for frames in what seems very blurry or too fast otherwise, zhere is so much good stuff hidden, it wouldn't be possible to pack this amount of detail into 2D ever. Pic rel is a new one, looks similiar to the 'old' one that's very widespread since it was one of the first shared on social media and is listed on the murder drones fandom wiki page, in this one however she is looking further up, facing the camera more directly which makes her expression appear somewhat different, more concrete prrof is her hand and the tailknife being in other places. There are maby more but I won't cover them all at once, no time sadly, but the other upside of these earlier scenes also needs short mentioning, which is namely Alice's very enthusiastic and happy behaviour, (as well as the, given the situation, initially very friendly/nonhostile behaviour towards Uzu), it just feels so good to watch, another shot would show it better I think but thread loads slowly by now so that'll have to wait till the next day. >>469865 Good nihgt simleanon, I was just bout to go when I saw the post. If you wanna know, I'm doing good overall right now, somewhat stressed but it's alright. Glad to hear you are seemingly over the worst of it, still hope you'll get well soon enough, being sick on the weekend would be even worse. I fear I am too tired to answer them both properly, but I was already mentally there for the first question so, Alice being real hm. Ignoring things like confusion/fear over why she'd be here suddenly, I'd just assume she isn't completely flabbergasted over it, just more or less herself. Not sure how she would react to me specifically, but to finally answer the question, I don't tgink I would have to fear anything from her really, even without the change, so I'd idk try to make some conversation about how her life in CFL was, I'd try to make her feel liked and welcome, tell her what she did was the best she could do and so on. Of course it'd be amazing to see something come of it, making her feel appreciated would be great, I'd also really wanna hug or hold her but that'd depend on how all goes. I feel there would maybe be more development needed realistically before but cuddlin Alice would be nice now, anyhow can't think of more now and that's bueno enough already >Liam Vicker gut punch 99% feel all will make it, I'm sure. I admittedly am not very invested into the current happenings right now cause Alice seems gone, Doll is out as well, smh I no longer worry about a bad end since in a way it already happened. Nothin now, thinking about thst first quest took me 25 of rewriting that one sentence, I'll maybe draw sometging tomorrow but we'll see until then, appreciate your pots and good ight
>>469875 I didn't think much of the show either until I saw how cute the drones were. I thought it might just be the fanart, so I was glad to see I was wrong. The show's pretty good, too. Some of the dialogue grates on me and the pacing feels almost exponential, but the action scenes are gorgeous and I don't hate any of the characters.
>>469871 A new Friend? Welcome Friend and I hope you stay! SD-L is quite an interesting Drone. I think many here would feel the same Friend, unable to do much due to feeling nervous. That's very kind of you. She is quite a dangerous Friend, don't leave her unattended too much. Expecting the worst so you don't feel disappointed, I understand that feeling, but I prefer to risk it and think and hope more. But yeah, is not looking good for N. Coding is hard, and depending on the language it's frustrating, making, and to what game? >>469872 Everyone is my Friend, Friend, at least most people, it has been like that since September. Let's see those predictions. That sounds very sad, just return to the status quo and then everyone is gone, so many Drones that deserved a happy life. That sounds highly unlikely, thankfully, since how things are going it doesn't seem that is going to be "kill all humans". >>469874 I should play that game Friend. >>469878 My good Friend! Worrying me about your obsession as always. Good to see you saw my post just in time. Nice to hear you are doing good and I hope you can relax so the stress goes away. I was sick a weekend but I hope I'm not sick two weekends. You know you can wait until the next day Friend, no need to force yourself to answer. I assumed that Friends would ignore the parts of lack of logic, and you are good at assuming that. I assume depending on the Drone it would react differently, I think Zombie Drones do not see humans as something so high as normal Drones, since I said they are not going to kill you I don't think there is much to fear; It doesn't surprise me that you would try to make her feel better and feel at home, most Friends would to that to their favorite Drone, one Friends already said something like that. To be honest I would try my best to be able to hug my favorite Drone, OC, 1and Canon, I just want to hug a Drone. Maybe in the future, I will ask the same question but with more details. That's good. Well that is not very nice, is it? Friend, there are a lot of Drones that live on the line still. I think you are too sleepy now, I hope I see your drawings and sleep well, my good Friend.
>>469882 >Coding is hard, and depending on the language it's frustrating, making, and to what game? C#, so not hard, but I just don't have the brain for it and I don't think I'd have the same drive to do it if I stopped to learn it. As for the game, Rimworld. I was going to add Worker Drones as a race, and Disassembly Drones as something you could resurrect dead drones as via research into the occult.
Here's SD-RW, my little test dummy for the DD graphics. She likes dismantling mechanoid hordes and performing surgery on humans, both of which she is an undisputed master at. The cool thing about Rimworld is the base game is so ugly that you don't have to be good at art to make something serviceable.
WIP of Doll lewds, I have a long weekend too so I might even make some progress catching up on the dozens of random drone related projects I've started and never worked on.
>N protectively holding you close to his body while you both sleep >N wrapping his arms around you and clinging to you, not wanting to lose you >N feeling safe with you there with him >N affectionately cuddling with you in his sleep, nuzzling his head against yours >N holding you close to his heart, and letting you feel his pulse and listen to his heartbeat, the ultimate sign of trust for a vampiric being like him >N trusting you completely, with his heart and his safety and his well-being
>N’s stomach growling riiight after you both just crawled into bed together and got comfortable >N giving you a slightly embarrassed look >asking N if he’s hungry and wants to eat before he sleeps >N saying that nahhhh, he’s fine, don’t worry about it >getting all cozy with N to go to sleep, and then a few minutes later his tummy starts making funny noises again >telling N it’s okay if he wants to eat something, you’ll bring him a snack or something, whatever he wants >N saying that he’ll get it himself, to which you insist that you’ll go to the kitchen so he can stay warm and cozy >N wanting YOU to stay warm and cozy, insisting that he go instead >both of you going to the kitchen wrapped up in a blanket together
>>469911 I could go on an autistic tangent about all the ideas I had for the Drone mod for Rimworld and how well things lined up, but I'll spare people. Madness: Project Nexus is getting mod support, there could be something there, but the gameplay's not exactly fast or dynamic. You could fit some things into Terraria, but there's basically nothing you can't fit into Terraria.
>>469911 Rate my shitty idea >Survivor The Host >Passive Passive shield that deflects projectiles, similar to defensive microbots. Needs to recharge after a certain amount of deflects >Primary [null] Instantly create a miniature black hole that implodes wherever you are aiming, dealing 399% damage in a small AOE, and slightly pulling enemies in. Low fire rate. >Secondary Compress Telekinetically grab a non-boss enemy, compressing them into an infinitely small point, killing them instantly and turning them into a ball of energy. Your next primary attack throws the ball which explodes on contact. Damage and explosion radius are determined by the maximum health of the compressed enemy. >Utility Rubber band Teleport in any direction. You are invincible while teleporting. >Special The Singularity Channel for a couple seconds to summon a massive blackhole (Similar to the Grandparent's sun). All enemies in range are slowly pulled towards it and damaged. The damage and pull effects increase the closer you get. Any non-boss enemy that gets pulled into the center gets obliterated from existence. Also affects all players including the user who summoned it. >stats No armor, very low health and health scaling. Takes increased damage from melee attacks. Complete glass cannon Default skin would be Cyn, alternates would be Uzi, Doll, Nori and Yeva. Mastery skin is Cynwalker
>>469889 Not forever but these threads have much larger bump and image limits, and can be adjusted by mods too. As far as I can tell so far mods here aren't niggerfaggots either.
>>469929 >spoiler [spoiler]That depends on what you mean by "tongue gore". Are they sharing a meal/corpse or are they biting/eating each others tongues?[spoiler]
>>469928 If youve been paying attention, the Eye on the headband has its own personality and in my little headcanon is the real solver in a ratatouille type fashion
>>469935 >Spoiler Neat, I knew about the funny expressions it'd make but I never really considered the deeper implications I like this headcanon! It's a really clever way to interpret/depict the otherwise vague 'relationship' between Cyn & The Absolute Solver. It also makes me REALLY curious about what could/would happen should this connection between the two be severed; Would Cyn simply revert back to her old self or has her mind been permanently warped after all this time being jockeyed around by an Eldritch Intelligence? It's a shameless shill of my own headcanon but I could totally see a 'disconnected' Cyn slowly but surely "deprogramming" from The Solver's direct influence, especially after spending years being stuck inside Beretta as 'Auntie Cyn'
>>469935 Also because im an inconsistent little prick sometimes the headband with either just follow along with whatever emotion cyn is having (sadness like in the gamer pic) or be what the "real" emotion Cyn is having behind that brain dead grin. Its fun to think as the Solver living in there influencing the world in this minor but darkly comedic way >>469939 >Would Cyn simply revert back to her old self or has see Deltarune - Spamton NEO Boss Fight (Pacifist/Fighting ending) + Aftermath there is no salvation, you are not granted second chances with the silver subscription to Solver+
>>469937 So some forked-tongue French kissing? I think that's actually really cute as far as morbidly passionate displays of affection goes. It's certainly more romantic than my original expectation (biting tongues in order to drink/feed off one another)
>>469953 >With this character's death, the thread of prophecy is severed. Reload an earlier save to continue or persist in this doomed world you have created.
>in episode 7 at this precise time 15:24, nori used her solver to shield both herself and yeva from the implosion >yeva didn’t use her own solver to shield herself >nori looked happy in the photo with khan >yeva wasn’t happy in the photo, because she remembered everything >overuse of using the solver, causes memory loss in solver hosts >it’s only when, a solver hosts core is out of the worker drone body >they’re memories return to them solver amnesia is real
Not technically a Murder Drones /co/ thread but a Glitch /co/ thread. So I'd recommend that you keep from spilling our sacred thread autism in it, and only discuss Canon characters for the time. https://boards.4chan.org/co/thread/143778969
>>469965 YouTube tutorials are godawful. Fallout 4 uses the same creation kit as Skyrim, so search results are often littered with videos about a game with an only similar structure and many different characteristics. Also people almost never do what they say in the title. Whenever you have a question the answer is hidden in a 1-3 hour long video about something else. I looked for how to add a container in the game world and I got three videos about Skyrim about how to mash assets together to make shelves and buckets that can work as containers. No results for FO4 or any basic videos. I figured it out on my own because I remembered that in a video about putting legendary effects on a pair of classes the author drag&dropped items into the world so I experimented with finding a toolbox in the game files and drag&dropping it. Then I figured out how to add items by remembering how in another tutorial an author added an item to a vendor's list. And even then it took experimentation and troubleshooting. Then there's the times where following the exact same steps as a tutorial isn't working, or the Creation Kit doesn't read copypasted file paths, or it doesn't recognize dlls that are right there in front of me and have been redownloaded from various sources. There's other more technical stuff too. Nobody to ask, dealing with shit irl, getting antagonized online. The past days I've gone from utter rage to zen rage to laughing at the absurdity of the stuff I'm witnessing to back to utter rage to burnout. I am pretty sure I have taken some psychological damage and could try suing Todd if I were american. Ah screw it. I'll dooble an Alice tomorrow.
>>469966 >>469967 Purple means either the material or the texture can't be recognized. Ironically I came up with a purple oc a few days earlier but I didn't want to post about him until I could make a pic of him that doesn't look like a kindergartener drew it. Anyway, here he is. This is my human oc. He has a tragic past. It is so tragic that he doesn't talk about it. He has killed various instances of the Solver and kills it for good some time in the future after the good ending. He is invisible to the Absolute Solver because his suit is painted in colours outside of it's visual range. The suit also muffles his sounds and hides his heat signature. He uses a sonic gun whose output is outside of the Absolute Solver's hearing range. When it fires it sounds like the moans of homosexual men. Because of his sheer shame he has chosen to go by no name, but the public has dubbed him Captain Gayman on account of his gear. He is deathly afraid of having his identity revealed and going down in history, and he often tries to murder Jane because she is somehow linked to him and he is paranoid that she might recognize him. To his chagrin, the black project that invented his suit later built a less embarassing suit but he wasn't allowed to use it because "people are used to your iconic look. It would be bad for morale if we changed it". The suit in question is a grey onesie with barcodes or QR codes all over it that when scanned they instruct the camera to forget what it just saw.
>>469019 Good idea, I had started something similiar back in early Decembre. I wanna do it when I start a new page with space, a less detailed version maybe cause that's what halted the other variant
You alone in your home in the middle of the night, but through either a text or phone call you discover your favorite drone is real, and they'll be at your home in 2 hours.
HOWEVER, they have the solver in them/are a zombie drone like Uzi in Cabin Fever and will also try to solver you in return (intimately of course). Whether your favorite drine has the so
>>469984 >He is invisible to the Absolute Solver because his suit is painted in colours outside of it's visual range. nigga it's an outer god, it sees souls or some shit
>>469955 I felt that the c.ai screenshot made my heart stop for a moment I swear >>469962 New thing I began this night, not gonna start detailing/colouring anymore because I'm tired af by now but damn feels good to finally create new Alice from nothing again. Hope to do more tomorrow >>469983Nta Sorry to hear, cannot help tho, anyhow >Ah screw it. I'll dooble an Alice tomorrow. Very nice
>>470004 I utterly adore Doll and Yeva as well, in spite of how relatively little of them we get outside of individual actions that they do relevant to the story. RoboGod I wish I could save both of them, wish I could hold both of them.
>>468362 >>469499 https://desuarchive.org/co/thread/140582750/#q140586539 But they're puppies. >Master glares down into your optics, dark eyes lit by the cigarette grit betwixt his clenching teeth. >If he were to bite any harder, he would be literally consuming it. >"Why do you think they were put there, AN0N?" He huffs out, between drags of black cigar smoke billowing across your visor. >You wait until spoken to. >"Because whoever saw them first didn't want them to be their problem, but also didn't want to do what needs to be done.

>>469803 Happy to hear you like it, have an OCD-friendly compilation of the story.
Other than the "intro" >468721 and the JCJensonland one about Tessa's totally healthy coping mechanisms™ >468591 I also have another one about the drones in the manor and one about James if you are interested.
>>470013 I want a drawing where various femdrones like Doll and Y are being climaxing from being fucked by disembodies dicks with "THE DRONES ARE COMING!" written over them.
>>470033 i shouldve never looked up the source of that sentinel drone pic thats how i ended up in these threads thats how i ended up watching the show im not in control of my obsessions, so i blame all of you
i need to hardline myself to only get in on finished series, not ongoing ones actually eating away at my brain
>>470041 Kek :''( Honestly tho, that's one of the biggest questions in MD I have yet to find a convincing answer to, what the hell was Beau doing? In any case very nicely made, thanks for posting it!!
>>470043 It's a possibilty, the way the scene was made makes me feel that something in the direction of Beau turning against Alice was likely intended. It is a very uncomfortable part of the story, if this interpretation turns out to be the most likely one it'd severely change the image of Alice and Beau. [spoiler]tbh the way you see it is how I felt it was meant to be on my very first watch of episode 6 already, with growing Alice lore over time it was pushed back cause it drastically changes their dynamic (there are lots of different interpretations to a variety of aspects of their already bizzare relationship, this tho would make it way more sinister), but should probably not be ignored.
If anybody was waiting, no WIP on pluschan today, I did much but it does not look severely different, wanna preserve image limit on here
>>470051 Standard loop of making something, hating what I made and burying it. The world probably doesn't need any more human Anon/OC DD stories, though.
every time i try and think up some OC stuff i hit that "canon compliance roadblock" as i realize how none of it can ever fit not in space, not in time, not in context the series doesnt actually have a whole lot of room everything is wrapped up like vaccuum packaging even doing something from scratch leaves a lot weird questions open up
> new DDs all weve ever seen are N V J and nondescript the evidence points toward DDs being exclusively made from the mansion drones and then cloned
yes, im a stickler for that kind of stuff
also my greens backlog has run dry. i wish we had more shorts like the old threads were full of
>>470056 Mother does things purely because She thinks it's interesting. It's the reason N and by extension J & V have their personalities. It's fathomable for Her to allow other Disassembly Drones to retain their personalities if She finds them interesting enough. >the evidence points toward DDs being exclusively made from the mansion drones and then cloned The Worker Drones on Copper Nine were going to kill the Humans before the destruction of the Core. Uzi seems to have gotten her Human hatred mostly if not completely from Khan. My headcanon is that the Solver presented itself through Cyn as a saving figure like how Genestealer Cultists from Warhammer 40,000 perceive their corresponding Hive Fleet as a host of angels come from the heavens to save them from tyranny and it was only after news started spreading of planets being destroyed instead of liberated that the Disassembly Drones turned on the rest of the rebels like Purestrain Genestealers do when it's time for everyone and everything to go into the reclamation pools.
>>470060 I don't think so. Cyn was unique. There are 2 types of corruption we've seen, Cyn's and everyone else's. Cyn was asked directly if she would let it in, and from there it instantly took over Cyn, as shown by her yellow eyes. Meanwhile, everyone else seems to have had gradual corruption, even Nori and Yeva. So my headcanon, is that when it asked Cyn to let it in, it wasn't actually referring to just her system, it was referring to their universe itself. After the point where Cyn said yes, it was free to corrupt other hosts whenever it wanted.
>>470064 I'll fully admit to being a lame & initially interpreted this pic as them merely being in-character as part of some particularly intense roleplay, but for the sake of authenticity... >AU where N's head being blown off & subsequently regenerated makes him dangerously "feral" >He immediately proceeds to sexually assault Uzi in practically every way an on-model DD can feasibly molest a WD (Although he is at least still 'kind' enough to neutralize the Nanites eating away at her hand) >When J & V arrive they find the scene before them "unprofessional" and "funny" respectively >Ultimately J decides to NOT simply kill Uzi right then and there, with her instead offering N a chance to keep his new "plaything" so long as he actually improves his overall job performance >To J's surprise (and Uzi's horror) this motivational incentive actually works, turning the poor purple worker into the squad's official 'pet'
>>470069 fun and interesting discussion (and oc) has died down over the months but dont worry, episode 8 will hit like a napalm strike on a bundle of kindling we will have our inferno
>>470069 Plus is comfy, but it's only really active during a specific set of hours while /trash/ is /trash/. So we aren't really in a constant flow of content like before, despite the amount of oc still being made. Just like everything that's on a "hiatus", best to find something else to do in the meantime so you don't burn yourself out. It's why I believe hyper fixating on a certain topic won't always be good in the long run, since you never know when you're gonna hit that wall and how long it'll be until you can pass over it.
>>470078 >Tall sadomasochist angel that stares up women's skirts while getting stepped on by them and socially isolated grumpy purple nerd >Tall sadomasochist angel that stares up women's skirts while getting stepped on by them shows socially isolated grumpy purple nerd the magic of friendship and gets her to gradually warm up >It's being deliberately set up that the Solver can be literally defeated with the power of friendship >If N turns out to be evil, he and Uzi's relationship in the essence of '00s-extremely early '10s media is the ultimate transmutation of the dynamic of Molestia and Twilight >My Little Droney: Friendship is Tragic
>>470084 >>470085 There's nothing wrong with getting your own board, don't be whiners. Your generals are high-activity and its not like you interact with the rest of /co/. Its the best way, just like with the Sonic fanboys.
Imagine this from the bastard jannies perspective.
You ground your kid and send him to his room, and then he sneaks away from home, sleeps rough for a few weeks, then the president of a foreign nation adopts him and makes him the governor of an entire state.
>>470090 Oh be quiet you baby, this is better than picking up table scraps on /co/, living on a time limit under the thumbs of hypocritical oligarchs, this is real freedom, /ourplace/, where we can post in peace Plus it’s not like we can’t still make /co/ threads
>>470090 plus4chan /co/ is not the same as 4chan /co/. plus4chan has a history if giving separate boards to popular /co/ content, including /a/ - Avatar, and the now archived pokemon board at https://archives.plus4chan.org/boards/pkmn/.
>>470095 every step you take during your life has consequences. the important thing is what you do with them.
>>470075 If you are going to do it, please do not use the word "general" it leaves a bad taste in the mouth Anyway, if it needs to be done, and I prefer that we just stay here, /as/ Absolute Solver
I can’t believe there are people genuinely advocating for calling it anything other than /md/, seriously, why mess with something so perfectly simple, Terry Davis would be disappointed
>>470115 >If you are going to do it, please do not use the word "general" it leaves a bad taste in the mouth Agreed, I hate generals too, even if there's no avoiding them.
/md/ is the only non-shit suggestion so far, I was hoping someone could come up with something better (nearly every plus4chan board title has a double meaning, or the abbreviation works as a word on its own).
>>470090 >>470095 Why are you still so obsessed with the idea of going back to 4chan's /co/? You wouldn't happen to be the same anon that constantly complains about the plus4chan design & how "slow" things are, are you?
>>470118 Hmmm.... How about /lvas/ - /Liam Vickers Animations (and) Stories/ The idea crawled its way into my head mostly because I was thinking of having a general place for any other future project Liam would make after MD and in case the jannies boot us off the board again (if it ever happens). If it's too broad and the board would be strictly for MD, then I'd stick to /md/.
>>470044 That's the most fulfilling bit of all of this honestly, the idea that what I've done has inspired even one other person, much less several, makes all of the work worthwhile.
>>470124 I'd be willing to bet that a sizeable portion of the MD fanbase were already fans of Liam Vickers' work before the pilot even dropped and to this day it's still a thing to cross-examine whatever he's had a hand in, so it's not the worst idea ever.
>>470143 True, my tentative lore for them is that they were developed simultaneously with the raptors, they use drone chassis because drones are cheap and abundant but have a simpler, more limited AI. For every one Intoner that's manufactured a platoon sized element of Worker Sentinels is outfitted. Intoners have been "nerfed" and can't use offensive Subjugate Solver powers, and have more limited AI comparable to DDs in their feral "hunting" mode. They're intelligent enough to communicate and use tools and their environment but aren't good at adapting to unanticipated situations or form complex plans, physically they're actually weaker than DDs and would rely on ambush tactics similar to the raptors, using their Basilisk stunners and infrasound projectors to incapacitate or wear down DDs and Solver Hosts before striking. Tactical Sentinels are the "Original" Sentinel concept, with both limited offensive and defensive Subjugate Solver powers, an array of powerful changelimb weapons, and extremely durable outer armored shell. They are however much rarer, and most Sentinel units wouldn't have one attached, but when they are it would be at the sort of "Company" level with two or more "platoon" sized units of Worker Sentinels and two Intoners.
Only Tactical Sentinels are non-interactable for Solver users, because of their DD-based lineage, Intoners rely on their infrasound attack weakening and confusing Zombie-Drones to avoid getting gibbed, Worker Sentinels have no defense at all and have to rely on volume of fire. They tend to get used as harassers or ambushers to soften up Solver targets or DDs which give more powerful Sentinel units like Raptors and Intoners openings to make the kill. Tactical Sentinels are deployed only when other Sentinel units are being overwhelmed or as a preemptive attack against high value solver targets.
>>470150 I will be trying to get it done today. Since my normal drawing routine got interrupted a while back it's been a bit rough on the motivation end.
I know it's bait but, they brought up a good point in the /co/ thread. It feels like there aren't as many drawfriends or writefriends as there used to be. Any explanation? For me, I've stopped writing because it stopped being fun
>>470177 Personally i just dont feel like it anymore, ive lost the sauce to draw or write anything except small bits every so often. I think the community just doesn't feel the same, more angry and bitter now, also threads are incredibly slow these days with you having to split attention between upwards of 3 threads at a time
>>470187 Different characters, are not blood-related, and they do not know each other, most of the time, in some drawings they can be seen together but it doesn't seem to be the popular theory.
>>470186 However easy you think it might be, it's even easier than that. You could walk in without a costume and insist you're a drone, and they'd eventually buy it.
>>470197 Here you filthy crack addict. Now please generate some content. No I'm not going to do it, why would I contribute? Silly man https://boards.4chan.org/trash/thread/66078135
I've noticed the lack of Dronetism lately and I believe it's a result of burnout from our hyperfixation with Drones. Going to these threads everyday and looking at any Drone related media everyday is having a negative toll. This is possibly the reason for recent massive drop in writing and drawing, not because of /trash/ like that baiter said. The brain is just tired from Drones and needs a break. I'm going to try and take a break and see if this assessment is true, although I'll admit it's hard, the temptation to come to these threads is strong but I must fight it. I recommend that some do the same for a while, maybe it will refresh the brain and allow the creativity juices to flow once more.
Pretty much finished up the Sentinel Squad. Eventually I want to give each unit a more polished drawing all to themselves, but that's for later. Until then, lore
>Sentinel Worker Deployed 3010, 08 Years Post-Null Worker chassis loaded with custom programming developed by Sector 4. Intended to act as a stopgap solution in lieu of more specialized weapons, these combat automatons use existing spare worker bodies and are equipped with retailored human equipment. They are programmed in the use of a variety of common weapons and vehicles and are comparable in skill to human special forces. While immune from direct solver possession, they are still vulnerable to manipulation by solver powers and thus cannot reliably attack Solver Hosts head on. They are most commonly used in conjunction with other Sentinels as distractions or ambushers, relying on a combination of overwhelming volume of fire and a high ratio of heavy weapon squads to make up for an expected 70% attrition rate when a platoon of 48 units is deployed against a single SolverHost. By 3032 Sentinel Worker squads are being equipped with more advanced weapons and specialized equipment.
>Sentinel Intoner Deployed 3019, 17 Years Post-Null While visually similar to a Disassembly Drone these are in fact ultra-modified Worker Drones loaded with a more independent, more adaptable version of the previous Sentinel Worker OS hybridized with the feral free-roam hunting instincts of Sentinel Raptors. They are capable of more independent action than Sentinel Workers however their limited power supply makes them physically weaker than Solver Disassembly Drones and unable to use powerful energy weapons. Their primary advancements are paired Infrasonic Projectors which stun and disorient non-Sentinel drones, and the ability to project a 180 degree Scatter Protocol shield which redirects projectiles or energy beams. While capable of flight with disproportionately massive gliding-optimized wings, Intoner Sentinels cannot achieve the same flight speeds as Disassembly Drones, although their lighter bodies and larger wings allow for nominally better agility in flight.
>Tactical Sentinel Deployed 3032 (limited production), 30 Years Post-Null Reverse-engineered from limited stocks of captured Disassembly Drone subjects, these third generation Sentinel Drones are the first design to comprehensively surpass a Solver Disassembler in combat capability. They are also the first and only Sentinel Drones to have human-level intelligence without the risk of Solver infection, however the harsh safeguards embedded in their programming strictly limit their AI's ability to develop unique personality traits outside of the original donor personality matrix. A paper thin outer coating of Sector 4 Proprietary Alloy 2X make Tactical Sentinels able to survive enormous structural shocks, high temperatures, as well as rendering them immune to Solver manipulation. This compensates for their severely limited ability to auto-regenerate damage. Alloy 2X remains an extreme bottleneck in Tactical Sentinel production, rendering each unit approximately as expensive to manufacture as a strategic space-to-surface stealth bomber. As of 3060+ less than 2000 Tactical Sentinels exist, half of which have been deployed to the besieged Plat-Binary system as a time-buying measure. Expected losses in this prolonged battle are expected to be 100%
>>470092 No idea why people are complaining about this. Having our own board would be awesome. We could have multiple different threads dedicated to different topics. Everything would be nice and easy to read and contribute, instead of a single 2000 post gigathread with a million different topics. We wouldnt have to worry about the image limit either. We also wouldnt fill up this board with all of our defunct threads.
>>470203 Other than being busy in general, yea I recommend bouncing about other things you're interested in. Reading/watching other things, just recharge and stock up on your creative bank account. Adding to the swath of life experiences you can use to write or draw Murder Drones stuff. Now I feel less like a deflated tire. Also saw the SD-B doodle on the booru by E-anon, I think. Many thanks.
>>470212 I guess the decision is up to the developer. It's a nice gesture, imo. I just hope the board (should it come to be) doesn't languish in the future.
>>470225 I listen to my heart by chugging 12 5 hours to reach the forbidden hours of the day whilst smoking that dank orkz pack which they drowned in the blood of the tau. Shits so blue it looks radioactive
