The Dilder just got a new sense. We swapped out the $6.88 MPU-6050 gyroscope for a $0.46 accelerometer that does more with less — and designed a location system that doesn't need GPS at all.
The face was done. 16 distinct expressions. But the body was the same for every mood — a static black blob. Today the octopus learned to move, and two moods got entirely new body shapes. Fat is fat. Lazy lounges. Angry trembles. Chaotic distorts. The body finally matches the face.
One octopus personality isn't a pet. It's a novelty. Today the octopus learned to feel — angry eyebrows, sad droopy eyes, chaotic spiral pupils, heart-shaped horny eyes, and 12 more distinct emotional states. Each one changes how the octopus looks, moves, and talks.
