Don't beat yourself up; it's hard to make a meaningful connection with someone these days. Keep trying, no pressure, but from what I understand from the line "Approaching people is hard since I have no interest in talking with random people I don't know, and the only way to get to know people is to talk with them, so I can only talk to people if we're forced to interact with each other for a period, such as for work.", perhaps you should work a little on feeling comfortable with yourself first. You don't have to be a person who only has deep conversation topics; you can start by talking about a hobby you're passionate about, or a movie or book you really enjoyed.

Although take this advice with a grain of salt, as I'm someone who feels more comfortable being alone than surrounded by people.

Don't give up, and good luck.

Ah yes, a classic "me with job vs me without job".
Still, I hope you end up finding something you like. Good luck.

Wow, that sounds drastic.
I hope at least it came with a pay raise.

Hey, looks good. I love this kind of survival RPGs. Is it anything like UnReal World or Wayward?
And watch out for those back issues. Good luck.

Hey, congratulations. What's the name of the game? I'd love to check it out.

Thanks. How are you? I hope you're having a good Friday too.

It will certainly be a truly fateful day.

Hello, happy Friday, everyone.

Everything went well for me. At work, they accepted my request to change my job title from senior software engineer to software architect, and I've spent the last three weeks acclimating to the change. The change has been harder than I expected, but I'm starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Because of this change, I haven't been able to make much progress on my little AI chat experiment with multiple anthro women, but I'm eager to get back to it.

Today is turning out to be an interesting day, as I got the day off from work (a demo we've been working on for the last three weeks went well), and I went out to buy a bottle of Wild Turkey 101, a 24-pack of ginger ale, a bag of ice, and a wheel of my favorite blue goat cheese. I'm currently playing Digimon Story Time Stranger, grinding to make my perfect DigiWaifu harem, and listening to a nice progressive rock playlist.

I hope you're all having a great Friday.
Take care.

Heh, armlers.

No, thank you.
I haven't received a compliment outside of work in years.

Regarding your question, that's correct, it's a text chat, but adding a TTS with different female voices (or better yet, studying how to use one of those voice AIs that simulate existing voices) could be possible. And if I remember correctly, Windows has a native feature to type text based on your voice, so that would also work as input.
