Updates — May 7, 2026
Thursday brought 2 fresh companions to the roster, Ksenia and Linnea, arriving as part of a broader editorial push. On the writing side, 10 new articles went live, ranging from a look at the Friday night dead zone and what a companion is actually good for in that two-hour limbo to a piece on picking up a conversation mid-stream without handing her a recap she'll gloss over. Others weighed Eva against Replika at ninety days, traced the personality drift that surfaces around week three, considered what a companion can and can't cover when someone is still there but already gone, and asked what actually leaves your device when a conversation ends. A catalog expansion added 156 new guides in a single wave. The media library grew by 4 images and 2 videos. Everything is linked below as the permanent record of the day.
