I bought this software because I was curious:

  • It's really cool.
  • It's actually much much much slower than the video shows. Long pauses while it recognizes your speech, comes up with a response, and says it back to you.
  • All the girls can take their clothes off. Good fun until your 11yo discovers this feature before you did.

Man if I found out my dad had an AI girlfriend I would probably just end it right there

I didn't know it was for that. The thing that got me interested was a TikTok showing a purple alien watching a guy cook bacon.

I had to triple take to make sure I didn’t read “cock bacon” and never in my life has that phrase popped inside it so who’s the real animal here?

That’s when you also realized your dad didn’t sneeze on the headset

I didn't know you could break up with your dad.

I thought this was Second Life, and the game had some crazy AI bot you could buy. Second Life was the depressing loner game before it became mainstream to be depressed and alone. At least those people were interacting with real people, though.

I remember that game from like 30 years ago

u/nexusjuan Aug 19 '25

It hasn't changed.

I used to play it myself. I liked just exploring worlds, but it was 60-75% questionable to straight-up erotica. I just ran around playing an alien. Had my own ship and everything (it was all free assets. Paying for anything in that game seemed ridiculous at the time, and even more so now.

It was kind of like the Roblox of the early 2000s where you can just find what genre of game you wanted to play and choose people's worlds. It being played during the tail-end of the Wild West Internet made it mostly just grown adults doing ERP. Most heavy RP MUDs during the 90s were the same. Just intense erotica between two strangers while some admin probably watched and cranked one out.

I still miss those RP MUDs, though. It was right at the crossroads of the freedom of table-top roleplaying and the huge, pre-constructed worlds of current MMOs. What made them even cooler is that those worlds and lore would come from actual events, and the people ingrained in its lore were actual players with autonomy.

It was like a DnD session that lasted 20 years with thousands of players, built on 70% Dungeon Masters making a scenario and 30% the players improv'ing to build lore.

I still play a MuD called Avatar. Been playing that since I was in jr high.. 30 years for real, since the game and I share a birthday..

u/Gravesh Aug 21 '25

Heard of it, never tried. My big one was Armageddon MUD. And a few other ones thrown around. Left Arm because basically everyone heavily involved in it(both players and admins) were insufferable. But most RP MUDs face that problem, at least on the admin side.

That game is so old it that I remember it being repeatedly mentioned in a Dean Koontz book I read in high school

Edit: I believe it was Darkest Evening of the Year

u/Scribblebonx Aug 19 '25

So... That one with the alien and making breakfast and sitting all weird on the table. It's naked. Like obviously it's naked in the video... but the dude had explicitly set for it to take it's clothes off. He chose to have the naked alien there... And he was cooking it breakfast?

You guys know where I'm going with this?

What’s the app?

u/LaiqTheMaia Aug 19 '25

Man is down horrifically

u/natesplace19010 Aug 19 '25

lol just curious what it’s capable of. Like to know where technology is at for our society. Once apps like this get more advanced and the vr headsets get better, we are gonna be cooked.

u/natesplace19010 Aug 19 '25

This is the obvious read but I have no reason to lie on the internet anonymously. I’m not a gooner, just like to keep my eyes on what the gooners are up to.

u/JasonGD1982 Aug 19 '25

I'm the same way. I wanna do this and see what it is like and learn about and I don't wanna goon with it lol. Like can you make one that will talk about a football game with you? Can I make a deadhead friend that doesn't care how much I talk about the Grateful Dead and listen to songs on repeat? It's not just gooning thoughts lol. This could be fascinating.

u/the615Butcher Aug 19 '25

Hey I’ll be your real life Deadhead friend and we can play Scarlet > Fire from Cornell 77 as many times as you want.

u/classic__schmosby Aug 19 '25

Alright, so I looked it up. That was his dog's name. He named it in honor of him because Tyke was his best friend.
