Okay! I put up a new Christmas short, part one of three for this one
cause I'm a lazy bastard. The archive is very new but has a lot of useful features so odds are I'll be sticking there in all honesty, even if pastebin fixes whatever the hell is wrong with their algorithm.
>>119767976I've thought about doing some stuff with Sterling robots in combat, especially since the 'Namdroid discussion a few threads ago, but one of my biggest worries is writing stuff that's so far removed from the original material it can hardly be called Emmy content, and I feel that creeping in with Sally, too.
>>119762080>>119762572Late responses, but the way I figured kiddroids to be would be based more on a continuously adaptive line of programming, one with certain blocks in place that would naturally be removed with age, in a sense. As someone who knows next to nothing about programming its hard to explain in a way that makes sense and is realistic, but a kiddroid would age mentally and mature like a human kid, with funny stuff like a "taing credence to parental advice" ticker that rapidly declines during puboty, and aside from being machines would be much closer to humans behaviorally, in a way like the Nexus-7s versus the previous generations of androids in Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep.
On the other question, I think that it'd be a minor hardwiring thing to have a kiddroid love their parents - not forced, but a strong inclination to it, especially during the younger years. That'd be much more dependent on the parents and how they raise their kids, but I think I can say with confidence that they'd love them. Not to be grim or macabre, but we all learn our parents are going to die eventually, some sooner than others unfortunately but the same nonetheless.
