Please tell me the company that developed these isn't run by someone named Ted Faro...

If there is Ted Faro, we need our Elizabeth Sobek.

I just completed Zero Dawn and fuck it’s a good game! Can’t wait for the PC port of Forbidden West!

Obligatory "fuck Ted Faro"

Also someone should start a Horizon community, I've already started up enough to keep my hands full trying to pump them into life

+1

Horizon really has a good lore. Can’t wait to get my hands on Forbidden West on PC!

Do you want Project: Zero Dawn? Cause this is how we get Project: Zero Dawn!

Where's Sobek when you need her?

Unfortunately, it's not true.

The EATR was programmed to consume certain types of vegetation as biomass to convert into fuel, and only those types of vegetation. EATR could also use other fuels such as gasoline, kerosene, cooking oil, or solar energy.

Cyclone Power Technologies stated that animal or human biomass was not intended to be used in the waste heat combustion engine of the robot,[4] and that sensors would be able to distinguish foraged materials,[2] although the project overview from RTI listed other sources including chicken fat.[5]

Also, this is from 2009.

UNfortunately?! ... But seriously, thanks for the fact check, I was wondering.

UNfortunately?!

Aside from the US military (or military scavenging in general), if I could sacrifice myself to power a robot (better than lawn clippings could) I might. I don't think it'd be unlikely that there's a scenario where said robots would be doing something right (some point/goal) if they're autonomous (in the governmental sense).

I mean I'd rather have my brain hooked up to something, but I guess that doesn't help with wattage requirement.

Haha, that is hilarious. But I think there is enough other biomass on this planet that you shouldnt feel like you have to sacrifice yourself to feed even the good robots

Sure, never said it was a healthy thought. But it's like an equivalent exchange type thing, less like putting a log on a fire and more like a few tanks of energy-dense fuel (not that it actually could work like that).

And I assume the image is an unrelated demonstrating a rescue operation

Damn, I hate Joe Rogan

Has anyone told them that the people enjoying the Horizon series really just want that to stick to video games?
