Thanks, I was going to do this anyway.

You should block relayed speech from the hologram itself

You can do that in a follow-up PR if you want. I'm starting to wind down and focus on other projects. I don't really have the will power to fiddle with smaller issues like this, not that it doesn't need addressing.

I don't think this should be merged if the hologram can hear itself. That's a bug being introduced.

[DrDuckedGoose]

Fine, fine. That was much easier than I thought, to be honest.

[DrDuckedGoose]

Difficult to test on singleplayer, in terms of hearing other AIs, may need live data.

Open the game in Dream Daemon, connect to localhost with byond, log out, connect as guest

there's something fucked with this, I can't figure it out. I can't be fucked to work on this any longer either. I implore someone who's more interested in this topic to continue development of this, however.

I'm not paid nearly enough to give a shit.
