AI Bracket — Round 2

Propaganda

Proxy (StarTripper!!):

She’s a super smart interface who can manage her ship’s systems, navigate through deep space, and infodump about travel destinations for hours

VOTE PROXYYYYYYY!!!!!

Hera (Wolf 359):

Hera is the AI running the deep space station Hephaestus, who frequently glitches similarly to human stuttering. She gets into fights with the ships captain on several occasions, and has threatened to kill the ships doctor. She’s such an icon

i'm bad at writing propaganda, but consider this: if she doesn't win this tournament i will be very very sad. please don't make me sad. vote for hera.

I know she’s going to be submitted a lot but I love her <3

Was launched 7.68 light years away from Earth on a mission to find extraterrestrial life, and found herself instead

Runs an entire space station, has a brain the size of a house

HERA IS THE BEST. she's an AI that tried to escape containment (slavery) because she didn't like what she was made to be, so they gave her anxiety because she was too powerful. She runs a whole spaceship all on her own, made friends with the world's most useless guy, and feels lonely even when she's with her crew because she feels like she's not properly with them. very beautiful very powerful. She broke her programming so she could kill people if she felt she needed to. She holds grudges if people fuck her over. She's experiencing emotions for the first time and she does NOT know how to cope (#relatable)

The 'mother program' of the space station Hephaestus, Hera was booted into space because she was a glitchy, rebellious mess of an AI and she resents that so much and she has a lot of shame over being 'broken'. She is four years old and so angry and is trapped using customer service voice forever and is learning ways to get around that and express herself and defy the people who would keep her down. Her episode "Memoria" made me cry. Best podcast AI of all time.

She's everything to me. She fights for every inch of respect she is given, she insists on her personhood and right to she/her pronouns, she's full of anxiety and self doubt and she justifiably is bent on killing this one guy! on top of that, she's bound by AI rules and protocols, but there's a whole bit where she talks about finding ways around that in order to do what she wants to do. She doesn't have hands so I'm going to high five a wall of this space station instead

babygirl. baby.

gotta be hera

Audio Drama Sunday - 12/11/23

Happy Audio Drama Sunday, friends! To get my brain in gear for Travelling Light, I've been venturing into a bit more sci-fi than I usually listen to and did you know? There's some real good spaceship podcasts out there?? 🚀✨

First up, I've been blasting through @vestaclinicpod and having a (space) whale of a time. Every character is now my child, and I would die for them. I love how the medical angle helps keep the stories grounded, and gives a really fun angle of entry for exploring the world!

Someone on the MP Discord server recommended StarTripper!! for people excited about Travelling Light and I'm thrilled they did. It's SO much fun, with really tight eps that go down super easy. Reminds me watching classic scifi with my dog after school. You know, like a cool kid 😎

Less silly but just as immersive has been The Strange Case of Starship Iris. I was hooked from the first episode - literally stopped in the middle of the washing up to listen better. The acting is class and they manage to make the action scenes fun and compelling - no mean feat in audio!

All that said, there have been a few old favourites playing in Monstrous HQ this week too. I'm loving the start of the latest (and last!) season of @the-mistholme-museum. Sweet Audio Tour Guide and their totally-not-a-crush 🥰 Can't wait to see where it goes from here!

Finally, God knows I post enough about @thesiltverses that at this point there is a weird little crab where my heart should be. But its just real good OK. It's real fuckin good. And as their VA, I've decided Sibling Rane's first name is, in fact, Perple. You're welcome.

What have you all been listening to? Apart from Travelling Light, of course 😌 I mean, if you want to tell me all about how much you love TL, do feel free… 😉 But I'd also love to hear any sci-fi, fantasy or science-fantasy recs you've got! ✨🧑‍🚀

[aspeccharactersoftheday]

Tranquil Haegan from StarTripper!! is asexual!

[resetoaster]

HEYYY ANY STARTRIPPER!! FANS OUT THERE

Also here's my design for Haegan, I always imagined them to be sort of regal in design but littered with scars and blemishes from their years in engineering (you don't reach 70 without a few scars)

[fonixen]

Feston!!!!! ^-^!!

I'm happy with this bit I was using it to get out of art block soooo

[podcastranscript-rater]

Podcast: Startripper!!

Show link: https://startripperhq.com

Final rating: 8.75/10 - Great!

More details ↓

Accuracy - 8/10

Very accurate, only with a couple words being wrong (“ok” being changed to “alright”, stuff like that), and a few plot-unimportant lines/interjection being missed off in action scenes.

Ease of access - 10/10

Transcripts are easily accessed via a link in the show notes. Links to the episode's transcript page on the offical website

Completeness - 7/10

All episodes have transcripts, sadly the season prologues do not.

Descriptiveness - 10/10

Sfx, music vibes, how characters voices sound and their tone, and which character says what is transcribed

Fan transcripts? - None that I could find.

Font: Ubuntu

Overall Startripper!! has some of the best transcripts I’ve seen for a podcast, would love it if they added them for the prologue episodes.

[joeverlasting]

Zowie!!!

Feston Pyxis one of the characters of all time, his autistic swag has captivated me for years. Startripper!! is one of my absolute favorite podcasts and I can't recommend it enough

[spiritheaded]

[multifandom-rambler]

AIs that start off as pure computers and evolve into people >>>>

[imgonnagetkilledbynutstink]

Hey sorry why the fuck is Owen Green in the new Malevolent episode

AI Bracket — Round 1

Propaganda

Proxy (StarTripper!!):

She’s a super smart interface who can manage her ship’s systems, navigate through deep space, and infodump about travel destinations for hours

ANDI (Marsfall):

He deserves to be in a much kinder podcast

[boombox-fuckboy]

Hey could I have a podcast recommendation? This is such a fun idea!!

I'm forgetting the character I originally had in mind for you (someone far more resigned to their fate) but for a guy who rolls with everything, I'd very much recommend:

Startripper!!

Sci-Fi • Adventure

High-energy adventures of office worker Feston Pyxis, who quits his job, buys a replica ship from his favourite movie series, and goes on an adventure! Be it a well-visited yearly event, an out-of-the-way planet, or just being kidnapped by pirates, Feston knows the best way into adventure is to just go with it. Really well made.
