--- Quote from: cesium133 on 23 Jan 2014, 14:00 ---If Momo runs Windows, then she could run WoW on herself. So why does she need to run it on Marigold's computer? :psyduck:

Because WoW* has bot detection tools that auto-kick users that seem to be using scripts or other hacks to automate play?

Actually, it's been established in the strip that AI's don't think any faster than humans, because it takes most of their processing cycles just to maintain their sentience. I believe it was either May or Momo who said that. So they wouldn't play any faster, either.

That doesn't follow. Reflexes aren't just about thought, they're about nerve conduction times and muscular response times, both of which are eliminated entirely if you don't have to use your eyes and hands to play.
ThinksTooMuch:
But doesn't that also apply for a human hooked up to an advanced VR system? The tech for a direct nervous system uplink isn't implausible for the qc-verse, given the existence of such things as clinton's hand... which may even respond to unconscious thought. Heck, it's not that far off from what we have here in the real world.

Probably?
Doesn't invalidate the problem though. Software solutions like PunkBuster are specifically designed to look for things that would aid or replace a standard human, including particular device drivers that ma or may not correspond to modified interfaces, and report the player for a potential ToS violation.
It occurs to me that there's probably yet another reason and far more convincing at that: convenience. If Marigold has WoW on her machine already and it's all set up with the right expansions and accounts why bother downloading it all to Momo for one raid, especially at short notice?

Less talk, more captioning!

Random caption:
WINSLOW: "God, I had the WEIRDEST sex dream last night."
PT410X: "This wasn't the one with me dressed up like Badtz Maru again, was it?"
MOMO: "I had a sexy dream about that TV detective 'Monk' once. I mean, I guess it wasn't that SEXY, we just straightened up his apartment together. In the nude."

Winslow: I bet it felt good to finally get laid, huh?
PT410X: Heh, yeah. Dust out the cobwebs, so to speak.
Momo: There were no cobwebs in my lady parts to begin with!
