Sounds like the synopsis of The Forever Winter. Great setting for that game.
oh hey isn’t that the backstory to horizon zero dawn?
"We finally invented the Torment Nexus from sci-fi classic Don’t create the Torment Nexus "
Well, at least there isn’t a narcissistic tech-billionaire around who doesn’t care about human lives and is closely associated with the government.
Yeah! Thank god that isn’t a thing! Also does anyone have the blueprints for tearblast arrows?
The image is old enough for that.
This is the plot of Horizon Zero Dawn
I guess I should get a bow and some arrows.
I had some, before I moved.
Let me just say this, what came easy to young me in boy scouts… well, I’m just glad if I hit a safe area in the general direction I’m aiming.
The other issues is as a boy I shot off the right of the riser on a longbow, and this was an off the left takedown (recurve) bow - still the amount I sucked surprised me a little, lol.
So hopefully you have time to practice.
Probably should spoiler tag that.
It’s really not much of a spoiler.
In general yes, but… that game is now 8 years old, has a successor AND a remaster. So… I don’t really think this is a spoiler anymore at this point.
This is also something you find out fairly early into the game
Isn’t it more towards the end of the first game, that’s when it’s fully revealed
IIRC the full reveal - and also why the game is titled Horizon Zero Dawn - is quite late. But I think the general theme, that those robots run on biomass is mentioned quite early, although not quite in the sense as it is portrayed in the reveal.
Yes, this is a late game revelation. I don’t get see why people don’t think it’s a spoiler personally.
This is the first time I am knowing of this, that makes it a spoiler.
On the other hand, I don’t plan on playing the game, so I guess it is not a spoiler.
Congrats! You’re one of today’s (un)lucky 10000!
Mankind is dead. Blood is fuel. Hell is full.
Gabriel is hot🥵
That game is a bit too hardcore for me. I’ve had it since very early on. I love everything that it has become. Except that it’s fucking hard.
What’s really concerning is that I have no idea if this is satire.
I think this is actually a real thing, but from like 10 years ago.
edit, there was a DARPA project that created a robot that could consume biomass as fuel, its acronym is EATR. According to wikipedia, it could “only” consume certain types of vegetation. But in the initial proposal, the developers also proposed chicken fat. So honestly, this probably exists and there might be a version of it that can consume meat.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energetically_Autonomous_Tactical_Robot
Phew. Chicken fat doesn’t seem very good, as we have enough meat eating already, but man a robot that runs on lettuce would be cool!
But, but… protein is an essential part of a balanced diet, and can provide more energy to the eater. I guess solar panels would be too woke, even if even more energy.
The game ‘high on life’ does it better.
“At long last, we have created the Torment Nexus from classic sci-fi novel Don’t Create The Torment Nexus“
EAT THE RICH! wait, what…?!
Not like that!
There’s a whole video game series on why this is a terrible idea. (Horizon Zero Dawn)
I really like those games. I just don’t want to be a character in them.
Bitch do you know what happens in Horizon where they make SELF REPLICATING SELF THINKING ROBOTS THAT CONSUME BIOMATTER AS FUEL
Fuck Ted Faro
It’s spelled Elon Musk actually.
The Matrix?
Paging Elisabet Sobek!
BLOOD IS FUEL
MANKIND IS DEAD
HELL IS FULL
CAPSLOCK IS STUCK
BABA IS YOU
dude remember that paper that came out that said “hey, you know we could have a colony on mars and build houses out of blood that’d be pretty fucked up right”
the orphan crushing machine is complete
finally…
I read it as "robot that can eat orgasms for fuel. My version is better.
It was fun the first 3 times, but now it’s starting to hurt.
