Frontal gyrus modules for lawrack
#1
Desiring all the silicons to suddenly start talking funny is an understandable and very human emotion, also it is HELL on the silicons to get a law that requires us to manually adjust our own chat. The only way to make this happen in a non-griefy way is to have the law be optional, which always takes some of the magic away.

I suggest that there should be modules in the vein of the hologram expansion module that apply a filter a la frontal gyrus genes to all silicons' speech on all channels except silicon chat (because silicon chat is canonically binary, which I think reasonably its own thing). Probably randomly selected, with the more disruptive ones like frontal gyrus suspension being omitted. Probably these should be random loot, or maybe _maybe_ hacked robotics fabricator, but still randomised.

The impulse to upload something dumb to the lawrack that is harmlessly amusing is one I wholeheartedly share as a silicon player, and I feel this would be a way to channel that clown aggression with strong results that doesn't necessitate torturing the silicons or adding an optional clause that causes it to just be dropped after three minutes.

I think this is a good idea

It could also choose from a list when you use it of all the available Frontal Gyrus types in case you really want a specific one

Some option to pick a specific one would be nice, I defaulted to random in my initial pitch because it sounds funny but having the freedom to pick off a list would also go good I think. Not sure how the UI would work, maybe similar to the wall and floor designer when activated in hand, I'm not a coder.

I think it'd be funnier as an Ion storm effect. Suddenly the borgs and AI are swedish.

Why not both! It could be something caused by law corruptions and a specific law module. But yeah I would LOVE if this was a thing, it is always so hard to keep an accent up especially when shit is really hitting the fan.

I think this can be really fun. Imagine being a silicon and youre talking to humans and all of a sudden your accent changes and you can just pretend it didnt happen haha

I once had what I assume was a glitch when mining as my cyborg Bobot, there was a forcefield artifact but when I ran into the shield it caused him to spam a few random sentences. It also left him sounding drunk, I would love to see this suggestion come to pass and especially be added as an Ion storm/law effect that would automatically apply to the borgs until fixed.

Emmaging the model will swap it to 1 random locked frontal gyrus for the ai and bots to speak in, like emoji or hacker speak
