>A member of your party is secretly a robot
This is fine right? No need to worry.
why not?
Joke's on them, I am also secretly a robot.
>turns out another member of your party is also a robot
>and that other one
>actually they're all robots
>everyone is a robot
>except for you

spread your legs and hand me an eggbeater, this may take a while

That depends. Is Sex still an option? Actually, is sex even more of an option now? This is very important.
>>49732298
Am I the only person in the world who doesn't like Blade Runner?
The pacing is just so fucking SLOW
SNATCHER DETECTED AND ELIMINATED.

Sex is always an option.
Man will find a way.

In the director's cut?
The pacing isn't very swift, but it's also not an action movie. It's a ponderous detective/philosophical blend.
>>49732298
I saw a sexy girl at the liquor store today and she was flirting with me. Should i have punched her ass?

TL;DR: There's three main points to take from the movie.
>Voight-Kampff machine test - it's not about answers but about emotional reactions to the questions
>tears in the rain
> >>49732399
The rest is just your classic noir and scenery porn.
>>49732528
>>49732551
YOU"RE A SNATCHER AREN"T YOU??
>>49732497
Punching things is generally not suitable for friendly interaction.
>>49732492
Its fucking boring is what it is.
Asimov did all this shit back in the 30's and 40's. Blade Runner just felt like mainstream crap being spoonfed to a technophobic public.

This is now a Sexy Robot Thread. Dump 'em boys!
>>49732578
>>49732298
I'd be 100% less worried if they were openly a robot. Robots are cool, but if you have to hide the fact you're a robot you are probably not a robot who intends to do kind things.
>>49732578
Story with slow buildup and rapid conclusion doesn't necessary make bad pacing. Sometimes it fits the situation.
>>49732628
>>49732578
So the pacing is slow and boring because it's already been done before?
Those two aren't related, unless you think the story was slowed down to make it more palatable, but I don't think that's the case. The pacing is slowed down for tension's sake, and to give the various threads time to become more cohesive.

Prove me wrong

Snatcher >> Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep > Blade Runner
>>49732703
Does a sexy Tech Priestess Count?
>>49732706
Blade Runner is better solely by virtue of the fact they made Roy Batty into an actually interesting character.
The book is good but I think Blade Runner's themes are more interesting.

>>49732756
I've never played Snatcher. What's it like?
>>49732706
I don't like Dick.
His shit is boring, pretentious and obtuse. I can't tell if he thinks his snotty proto-literate readers are idiots or if he really is that full of himself.
>>49732298
We've had it happen.
We eventually left that bitch buried under a collapsed research facility, which we then called a nuclear strike on, just to be sure.
>>49732784
It's good, watch some gameplay videos on youtube. Very underrated game.
>>49732679
Put the fucking fun down, dolores
>>49732793
Dick is one of those guys who has great, imaginative ideas but bogs them down with a very polarizing writing style. I think he's alright, but I've been stuttering through Man in the High Castle for months now and I'm not sure if I'll ever actually finish it.
Best sci fi writer is Ray Bradbury.
Also, Greg Bear is swine. He is overly fixated on sex and sexual themes and not in fun way. Everything I've ever read from him started off with a sex scene that made me feel uncomfortable and came off as creepy.
Are replicants actually robots? I thought they were more organic in nature?
>>49732846
Replicants in the book are robots and in the movie are genetically engineered constructs.
>>49732835
Having good ideas isn't what makes a novel engaging.
I hate how literary writers think that they have a right to be boring.
>>49732846
They are robots, but yes, very organic in body type. But still, being a robot doesn't mean your body can't be heavily "wet"
>>49732857
The book replicants are "robots", at least the Nexus 6 ones are. Aside from the Voight-Kampf, the only way to tell if one is an android is through a bone marrow test.
>>49732835
which one is the one who lived on a boat with his teenage boy slave and started a religion?
You know, Dianetics, Scientology, all that good stuff.
Was it Heinlien? They all seem like a bunch of fucking faggots to me, desu.
>>49732886
L. Ron Hubbard.
Heinlein just slowly went crazy and started writing about police states and sister fucking.>inb4 hurr durr I'm a liberal cuck for not buying into Starship Troopers
My entire party is secret robots. So far, it's been masked by their environment suits and the fact that everyone else knows exactly what they are and considers it well-known enough to not br worth mentioning. None of them know. Yet.
That's gonna change once viruses start flying in combat.
You guys ever read Robert Aspirin?
I'm not saying he was a genius or anything, but I read his MythAdventures series straight through in one sitting.
It was like eating a whole bag of popcorn in one sitting.
>>49732879
>Aside from the Voight-Kampf, the only way to tell if one is an android is through a bone marrow test.
Was the test of that nerve that the androids were using in their own police station bullshit? I seem to remember that that also worked.
>>49732916
so they can't see that they have metal noses?
>a member of your party is very obviously a robot
"Gotcha, you bastard"
>>49732784
It's Blade Runner as filtered through the mind of a detail oriented westaboo. It's pretty good and I suggest playing it if you can stomach visual novels.
If you enjoy that make sure to check out Policenauts aka Lethal Weapon IN SPACE.
>>49732706
Nah. The the machine that lets him control his wife's emotions is a fucking stupid idea.
>>49732999
Yeah that bit was totally lost on me. He could have written an entire book just on that and instead it's just kind of a foot note.
>>49732969
Oh, Fisto! Why are you so good to me?
>>49732694
I'm sorry but I can't look at this and not see the feels man

Well, one of them is secretly a Dragon, one of them is secretly an oracle, and one of them is secretly Satan.
I think things are going to be OK.
>>49732913
You realize that was a satire, right?
>>49733427
>tfw you were made to be a sexbot but are going to die a virgin.

does she run fashion store?
>>49732298
My dmpc is a friendly medic who always tags along with the party.
The pics have no clue that the medic is actually a cyborg. The medic is recording their every move and informing a secret alien organization.
The PCs themselves are unwitting agents of the aliens. All of their memories are implanted
>>49732298
I hug it.
Then I lean in real close, put my hand on it's neck, anddeactivate its power supply
>>49733575
awww. did you watch this movie too?
>>49732969
>a member of your party is a convincing android wearing a silly robot suit for the simulated lulz
He's a robot! A robot, I tell you! Why won't anyone believe me?!
Sir, that's clearly a man in a costume, if you don't calm down we're going to have to ask you to leave.
>>49733446
Have you tried the alternative?
Also, you might only have a few years more to wait. There was a thread on /g/ the other day about sex dolls, and the tech is coming along.
>>49733480
>the movie and the book were the same thing
>>49733724
>a member of your party is a convincing android wearing a silly robot suit for the simulated lulz
>everyone thinks he's a human in costume
>no-one suspects he's actually a robot
I'd dig it.
>>49733427
Feels?
>tfw you're the robot
>tfw you try super hard everyday to pass as human so your friends will accept you
>tfw you're so bad at it they figure it out within the first session
>tfw they play along anyway because they don't want to find out if you're programmed to have hurt feelings
>tfw you are

>Satire can't inspire effective reality
>They're not secretly a robot
>They were turned into one by an evil organizationtm
