🚀 Abiotic Factor just dropped a major update, The Cosmic Companions, that actually expands exploration, pets and chemistry into core survival systems.

The Alpen‑Signal observatory, hidden in Dunkeltaler woods, is now a big research hub with its own discovery chain; pets (including tameable pekari) can be chemically tamed, carried, fitted with a rescue collar that knocks them out instead of killing them, or driven into irrevers...

#Children use blankets, stuffed animals, and imaginary #companions to regulate fear, loneliness, and uncertainty.

Today, I would like to share with you a very interesting project. It's called Musona, and it's unlike anything I have ever seen. It is just for fun, so it's not meant to be taken seriously or used for researching things and so on. It's an ai companion, that can range from a stranger you must get to know, to a friend, to a love interest, to a partner, etc. You choose. What sets it apart from others is that it has a virtual life while you're away. When you return, it will tell you what it did that day, and can even introduce you to its friends. These are not the companions of other real people but are ai generated. It will remember your preferences and previous conversations and can reference them later. You can also delete conversations if you choose. The developer is very kind and genuinely cares about feedback. To that end, he has implemented full screen reader support, keyboard navigation, and high contrast. You can learn more at this link. I have tried it and love it.
