Hi, since the requests are open, could you write brainstorm x human or perceptor x human SFW/NSFW at your discretion. I just read your book "Human's effects" and I really liked the way you wrote brainstorm. Have a nice day.

Human effects 11 - Brainstorm

So I'll be doing more of these with characters, and if I have another part asked for Brainstorm on this series, it will be a smut piece.

__________________

Brainstorm's optics focus on the data pad in his servos, a hum resonates from him along with a small chirp as he filters through the multiple different subjects he had been doing research on. His processor aches from the amount of engex he had consumed the cycle before while at swerves. The seeker haphazardly pays attention as he walks down the hallway of the corridors of the ship toward the lab, his optics flicker when they lock on the one of liaisons, very specifically the Ambassador that he along with many others from the night before hand had been ‘fantasises’ about.

He had so many questions he wanted to ask them in person about human biology but in honesty didn't know where to start, they were an organic species, bipedal mammals who in many aspects were very similar to Cybertronians. His optics linger on them, taking in their frame type, tone and all up rather visual appeal. He could understand why humans were so sought after on the black market, they were soft and rather plus from what he could observe.

" heya stormy" they call out with a smile as they make their way over to him. Brainstorm jolts from his musings, systems heating with embarrassment at being caught distracted by his thoughts, his engine lets out a hitched whine as fans whirl. But their smile seems warm, non-judgmental, and he relaxes fractionally, they didn't have the ability to read his processor, he was fine he rationalised to himself.

"Ah, greetings, Ambassador!” He attempts to mask the fluster that was creeping across his plating, wings twitching lightly. "Lovely sol to find you up and about, I wasn't expecting to see you down in the labs this Cycle." He pauses with a. Raised optic rid wondering why they were down their way, they normally didn't make it a habit to visit the scientist.

“ picking up some equipment Nautica got for my team, she's been helping a lot with our long range transmitter and also with us getting supplies on Ultra Magnus' request” they hum while carrying a small crate.

His field radiates enthusiasm, if they were down here at that moment perhaps they had some time to spare him for his own pursuit in knowledge. "Might I beg for a moment of your time? As Cybertron's chief scientist, I was hoping to inquire about Human biology if you had the time. our records only have some much information on your people and i believe a lot of it is rather outdated, if you'd feel comfortable sharing it could offer insights aiding our alliance." He asked, it was worth a shot and if they Were to busy he could always ask one of the other humans.

They give Brainstorm another sweet smile as they begin walking beside him towards his destination, they hike their crate of equipment highter as to keep grip on it. "Sure I'm happy to answer questions, it's not like I have much going on at the moment, last I heard Megatron and Mags have Rodimus doing my paperwork as punishment for trying to take Rikko Asteroid surfing.” they laugh as the words fall from their lips. Remembering the look on the speedster face when he had more reports dropped on him.

“ but if we are gonna play twenty questions you better make it fun!" They tease in a singy song voice. Brainstorm's optical ridges curiously curiously beneath his faceplate at the human's playful jest. He lets out his own amused chuckle at the idea of Rodimus suffering even more paperwork, he didn't envy the Captain and even less so the aching processor he was most likely nursing after the drinks from the late cycle.

"Scientific inquiry as a game, eh? Now there's an intriguing proposition!" His wings fluttered, promptly intrigued with the idea. Data collection through entertaining exchange sounded rather fun compared to the normal exchange he had with Perceptor. A mischievous lilt crept into his tone as he slowly matched their pace walking together his optics flicker down to them taking in just how small they were compared to him. They just met his knee plating joints. humansWeren't nearly as small as a lot of Cybertronians were lead to believe. He remembered the first time ever seeing them he was quite taken back over their size originally expecting them to fit into the pal of his servo. But seeing them in real life had made him realise a lot of what he believed or old records were rather incorrect over humans, and their biology.

"Very well. First question: what gives you energy - nutrient paste, energon, the taste of victory?" His visor gleamed roguishly the last question was more a tease but he found it amusing to watch their reaction. The liaison lets out a hearty laugh at the first question. " hahahah oh by the stars, you really don't get alot of human Visitors do you?. So most of what humans as a whole eat is a mix of meat, fruit and vegetables. We need a mixed diet due to being an omnivorous species, but it varies person to person" they explain, giving his leg a gentle nudge with their elbow.

Brainstorm cycled his optics,parsing this new data on their nutritional requirements with keen interest, it also gave him more information to jot down later.but he is utterly fascinating that a species derived sustenance from multiple organic compounds rather than a single standardised fuel source. "Meat, fruits and vegetation, you say? Truly extraordinary." He made a note to research Earth's ecological climate zones and harvest periods, he was rather interested in seeing what earth produced, Earth had become one of the largest suppliers of energon when cybertron was being rebuilt as it was a common occurring element on earth, it became the main trade source between the two planets.

"What about cybertronians? Do you guys only consume Energon or do you have other things, i know earth supplies quite a lot of energon to cybertron but do you guys only consume it ?" As they returned the query, he waved a languid hand. "Energon in its various forms comprises the bulk of a Cybertronian's fuel intake, though rarely do we consume it in its raw state. Refining introduces necessary additive alloys and minerals to suit an individual's frametype and occupation. Medics also develop specialised fuel mixes for patients. But we do consume other elements, oils, metals and crystals are other necessary for different platingsor frame types " His wings fluttered in delight talking about the different compounds of energon and how it was used. He was no chemist but did enjoy dabbling in creating different flavoured energon.

"Recreational enjoyment of other sustenance is not unheard of, however. Certain sensory-inducing additives have been experimented with at social gatherings, such as High grade, energex are a subcategory of energon which has a different effect on a processor compared to casual energon, med grade and such" he hums while explaining the different types of fuel, from the causal to the luxurious.

“Ah so similar to Alcohol for humans, that's quite amusing actually and explains why Rodimus tends to look like he's hung over” they chuckles again remembering how dead on his feet he looked that morning when they had met for a meeting with the command.

“Oh I wasn't aware humans also had similar, but yes energex and high grade have a rather intoxicating effect and lossens intakes while in group gatherings.” He replies. As they make their way into the laboratory. Perceptor is off in the distance and shoots them both a look as Brainstorm slowly lifts them up onto the bench. Before continuing their conversation.

“ you mentioned something about chemists, what do cybertronian chemists do?” The Ambassador asks while they place their crate down and begin engaging in conversation once again. Brainstorm felt Preceptor's optics tracking the pair curiously as he began another explanation. “Chemists tend to have a range of different fields, the easiest way for me to explain would be to say that Swerve is a Chemist” His optics shimmer in delight as they trade back Information with the human sitting on the bench.

“I thought Swerve was a bartender?” They reply with a tilted head, their brows pinch in an almost adorable expression to Brainstorm. He has to keep his engine from making a whine at the adorable look. His EM field dances with interest for them.

“Indeed, chemists work with making, distilling energon and other substances. So in one way Swerve is a chemist but so is Ratchet but they make very different products” He explains.

“That's so cool, almost like being a human chemist, baker and bartender in one” they hum as they take in the new information they were learning. His optics linger on their hands for a moment before he decides to change the subject of fuel sources.

"With your permission, I find human epidermal structures utterly absorbing," he began. "The intricate pigmentation patterns, tactile sensitivity... might I?" A single digit hovered millimetres above a forearm, awaiting the liaison's consent before even the faintest contact. It takes them a moment to register the terms from Brainstorm but once they realised he was asking to examine their arm. “Oh sure just wait a second” reply before rolling their sleeves up, hold their arm out to Brainstorm to look at. It catches Preceptor's attention as he raises an unamused optic at how brasin Brainstorm was being.

"Also heads up you don't need to treat me like glass, humans are pretty resilient so you're not gonna hurt me by touching me unless you're actually trying" they inform. "My thanks for the clarification, as I explained earlier, a lot of our records on Humans is rather outdated, however I'd rather not cause you harm" he responded gently, servos dancing over their arm gently as he takes in the man different markings, patterns and colours that mark their skin. It's highly fascinating to him and he found another reason he believed humans were sought after. It wasn't a subject of cybertronian history he liked but he was interested in learning why humans were so sought after. Soft, pliable, small and would have mostly been very docile. It sent a rattle up his spinal struts as he tries to push the thought a side.

A single digit traced the patterns of tactile receptors watching the way the little bumps spread across their skin in a visual response to his touch. "Fascinating... your epidermal sensory network far surpasses initial database entries. I've never seen such colours either its stunning" His field pulsed appreciative curiosity as he traced the lines and marking that look like they are hidden under the Ambassador's skin, it makes him wonder how far the marking go but decided it would be pushing it to try and see more, but he knows he will be fantasising about tracing the markings.

From the corner, Perceptor cleared his vocalizer. "Yes, human biological studies hold fascinating merit. Brainstorm, do refrain from unnecessary experimentation." The other bots voice calls out as he shoots Brainstorm, another disapproving look.

Brainstorm dips his helm respectfully as he pulls away lwtting the Liason pull their sleeve back down. "No disrespect intended, Perceptor. Merely exploratory observation. Scientific progress warrants cross-cultural exchange plus we need to also rework our old records on human functions, biology and culture." His visor brightened, dispite Preceptor's tone Brainstorm was thrilled with the new knowledge he had gathered just from this meeting.

"Oh don't worry Percy. I doubt Stormy brought me here to experiment on, plus he's curious. I can't say I'm not also curious about you guys either, Earth doesnt have alot of information on Cybertronians outside of the small stuff we had from when you guys were stuck on earth. So i'm happy trading information because we are both interested in learning about each other's people. " They shoot back at the other scientist. Preceptor's optic ridges pinched ever so slightly at the human's familiar tone, though he made no further protest. If they felt at ease with Brainstorm's studies, who was he to force caution upon willing participants? "See that your... observations proceed responsibly," he calls out, it's aimed at Brainstorm but the seeker does not fret too much.

The two continue chatting between each other trading information with small jokes between them every now and then. The liaison kicks their legs back and forth on the table. It gives Brainstorm the opportunity to truly look at them and appreciate how soft they are, a lustful thought crossing his mind and EM field pulsing lightly which makes Perceptor snap his helm to look at them again. Perceptor narrowed his optics warily at Brainstorm. :. Brainstorm a word.: the other scientist states through comms which makes the seeker go ridged, wings flickering in discomfort.

Clearing his vocalizer loudly, Perceptor took a deliberate step forward. "Perhaps we will catch you another Cycle Ambassador, Brainstorm and I have much work to attend to, and we wouldn't wish to keep you any longer" he interjected coolly. For his part, Brainstorm cycled a ventilation and reined in his field, hed just had Perceptor call him out on it and the embarrassment was showing with each flutter of his wings.

The Liaison gives the two scientists a wave once they are set back on the ground. "Well I'll catch you both another time, I'm going to go talk with Swerve about energon, you have me rather intrigued to learn more " They call out lifting their crate back up while heading to the door. Once they had left the Lab it had Brainstorm shifted warily under the weight of Preceptor's dissecting gaze.

"The human liaison has graciously undertaken representing their kind aboard an unknown vessel to foster cooperation between species. Jeopardising such an auspicious start through any misguided impulse would severely damage relations."

Pausing his tasks, Perceptor affixed Brainstorm with a searching stare, optics bright with both caution and care for his foolish yet brilliant colleague. "I need not remind you of one of your talents, the fragility of organic creatures compared to our frames.”

Brainstorm shuffled awkwardly beneath the Preceptor's scrutinising gaze. His usually nimble processors faltered grasping a suitably cogent response, field radiating discomfort through scrambled modulations. How to explain such rash intrigues ebbing his usually steady rationale? "Ah...you raise entirely fair points, as always, Perceptor," he demurred, fidgeting with a gripper. "To be perfectly forthright - and at the risk of sounding like a sparkling with his first crush - there's simply something innately captivating about these diminutive humans! Their resilience, ingenuity, curiosity..." His plating flustered with static.

"And I'll admit, it's not just my scholarly interest piqued. Even the most stoic among us seem charmed by our new small friends." He cycled stabilising ventilation. Wings fluttering weakly, Brainstorm inclined his helm. "Brainstorm pleas for the love of whatever deity you believe be it primus or else Do Not Frag the Ambassador!, they are one of our heads, they work closely with our captains and if you mess Slag up it will be your helm" Perceptor groans out as he pinches his nasal ridge.

Brainstorm's plating flared hotly at Preceptor's emphatic directive. "I - of course not, you must think me a complete naïve sparkling!" he sputtered, waving his gripper defensively. "Mere scholarly observation was my intent, nothing untoward, I assure you, yes I'm intrigued by Humanity and the liaison is rather charming I'm interested in the scientific study of humanity, to rewrite the small knowledge we have on them!"

Venting sulkily, he leaned against the bench servos tapping into the metal. "Though I'll note, my interests seem far from singular. Last night's engex-fueled discussions had a few of us a little too invested in compatibility. All I'm saying is curiosity seems widespread! So while your cautions are well-founded..." His plating flustered again helplessly, wings fluttering as they would when he was interested in something.

"Brainstorm we are not doing this" Perceptor states as he turns away from his fellow scientists. "Wait just a klik, Percy - don't think I fail to spot tangled undercurrents in that rigid plating of yours," he pushed, emboldened by this newfound insight. Cycling closer, his field pulsed a teasing nudge against his colleague's. "For all your lofty speeches cautioning restraint... could it be you harbour doubts following your own advice?" He teases only to get a nasty glare from the other mech. but decides it's better to just ignore Brainstorm at that point. “you know Swerve has bets on you, says your a dark horse waiting for a chance to sweet the Ambassador off their Pedes” Brainstorm states trying to get a reaction out of Perceptor. It gets a wrench thrown at him.

The ULTIMATE Guide to Selecting the Ideal Gaming PC

Since there are so many alternatives on the market, choosing the ideal gaming PC can be a daunting endeavor. Technological developments, the growing popularity of competitive gaming, and the growing need for high-quality graphics are the main forces behind this progression. Whether you’re a casual gamer, a competitive player, or a content creator, understanding your gaming needs, budget, and the various components that make up a gaming PC is crucial. This comprehensive guide will walk you through the process of choosing the best gaming PC for your needs in 2024.

The Evolution of Gaming PCs

The 1990s: The Dawn of Gaming PCs

During the 1990s, gaming PCs began to emerge as distinct entities from regular personal computers. This era saw the introduction of dedicated graphics cards, significantly improving gaming performance. Games like Doom and Quake pushed the envelope of what was possible, driving demand for better graphics and faster processors.

The 2000s: The Rise of Custom Builds

The early 2000s marked a significant shift towards custom-built gaming PCs.This period also saw the rise of online multiplayer games, which further increased the demand for powerful hardware capable of handling complex graphics and network processing. The rise of custom builds also led to the creation of budget gaming PCs that offered solid gaming performance at lower prices.

The 2010s: VR and High-Definition Gaming

Fast developments in both hardware and software defined the 2010s. Playing video games in high definition has become the standard, with resolutions like 1080p and 4K appearing more frequently. Virtual reality (VR) also entered the mainstream, requiring even more powerful PCs to deliver smooth and immersive experiences. For serious gamers, GPUs like AMD's Radeon series and NVIDIA's GTX and RTX series became indispensable.

The 2020s and Beyond: The Era of Ray Tracing and AI

Today, gaming PCs are more powerful than ever, thanks to advancements in technologies like ray tracing and artificial intelligence (AI). Realistic lighting and shadows can be achieved with ray tracing, while AI solutions like NVIDIA's DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) enhance performance without sacrificing visual quality. As we move further into the 2020s, the line between gaming PCs and professional workstations continues to blur, with high-end systems capable of handling gaming, content creation, and complex simulations with ease.

The Versatility of Gaming PCs

Multi-Tasking Powerhouses

Gaming PCs are made to manage several things at once. Whether you’re gaming, streaming, editing videos, or working on complex design projects, a gaming PC can handle it all without breaking a sweat. For professionals who need a strong machine for their work, this makes them perfect.

Future-Proofing

Investing in a gaming PC ensures that you are equipped with the latest technology, which can handle future software and game releases. Because of this future-proofing feature, you won't need to upgrade your PC frequently, which will ultimately save you money.

Understanding Your Gaming Needs

Gaming Preferences

Casual Gaming

For casual games like The Sims or Minecraft, a mid-range gaming PC is sufficient. These games don’t demand the highest specs but still benefit from good performance.

Example: The Sims 4 requires a minimum of an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 4GB of RAM, and an NVIDIA GeForce 6600 graphics card. A mid-range gaming PC will handle these requirements easily.

Competitive Gaming

For competitive games like Fortnite or Call of Duty: Warzone, you’ll need a high-performance PC with a fast CPU and GPU to achieve higher frame rates and lower latency.

Example: Fortnite players benefit from an Intel Core i7 processor, 16GB of RAM, and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 graphics card. Reaction times and general performance can be enhanced with higher frame rates.

AAA Titles and VR Gaming

Graphically demanding games like Cyberpunk 2077 or VR gaming require top-tier gaming PCs with the latest hardware. VR gaming, in particular, demands a PC that can handle the additional load of rendering immersive environments.

What Type of PC is Best for Gaming?

The best type of gaming PC depends on your specific needs:

Graphics Card (GPU): Essential for smooth gameplay, especially in high-resolution settings. Popular options include NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX series and AMD’s Radeon RX series.

Processor (CPU): A strong CPU is crucial for both performance and multitasking. Intel Core i5/i7 or AMD Ryzen 5/7 are solid choices.

RAM: 8GB of RAM is the minimum, but 16GB is recommended for more demanding games and multitasking.

Storage: A combination of SSD for fast load times and HDD for additional storage is ideal.

Cooling: Adequate cooling is necessary to maintain performance and system longevity.

Note

1, 26, 31, 41 for the writing ask game?

1. Do you listen to music when you write?

Sometimes...

When I do, it has to be something without lyrics. My go-to artists are Adrian von Ziegler (for a fantasy atmosphere) and Peter Gundry (for a darker, more gothic feeling). I highly suggest checking both of them out.

26. Favourite writing program

Currently, I use Google Docs because it's very convenient. There's nothing about the program itself I enjoy other than that I can access it through any device. That being said, the second I find a similar program (that I like) that's not owned by Google or a similarly shady company, I'll be switching to that.

When I want an offline word processor, I use LibreOffice.

31. Least favourite part of writing

Honestly, the stage I'm in right now with one of my WIPs: when I get to a chapter that doesn't excite me and it feels like a slog to get through. It's not so much writer's block, because I pretty much know exactly what I want to happen. It's just not as fun for me to write as what comes before and after.

41. Any advice for new/beginning/young writers?

A) Take in many different forms of art. (books, movies, visual art, music etc.) Not only can it serve as great inspiration for content, but you can take cues about how other artists get a certain emotion or message across with how they communicate.

B) Write the kinds of stories/poems you wish already existed. Write something that would excite you. One of the best parts of writing is rereading something that you're proud of. If you think of yourself as your own target audience, I think you're more likely to enjoy writing. Of course that's not the correct marketing answer, but I'm not really concerned with that. Sometimes trying to appeal to a mass audience robs art of what makes it special. Some of my favourite art and entertainment is bizarre, upsetting, and/or unmarketable. That doesn't make it any less valuable to the small, dedicated audiences who enjoy it.
