All of the comments on Reddit reacting to this announcement imply that this was actually a really fantastic game with a rocky launch during a bad window. Looking forward to giving it a whirl.

I absolutely adored this game!

A Tachikoma would be intensely more practical than this. For one thing, it’s about a third the size, and so doesn’t need to be so damn heavy or slow. Watching this thing move like a geriatric with severe osteoporosis is painful. Watching it make “punching” motions is just sad.

Shirow indulged himself with giant mecha…

Square Cube law is mostly the problem, this thing is mostly a decorational fiberglass shell around a hydraulic lift. The legs look impressive until you realize they can’t move independently...same for the arms which can’t straighten out or rotate and are not shown grasping anything as they likely lack support for more…

He’s had his hat for 10 years, and still wears it backwards.

Yeah I learned the hard way. After 4 years of a fun, loving, and omgzzzzzzz-sex-filled relationship with a delicious himbo, we were eating a dinner I made. I looked across the table and realized this guy didn’t ever have that light on behind his eyes.

You kid - but as a person who has 3.5 (we added an extra during covid-pocalypse who has pretty much adopted us permanently), I get mighty tired of trying to get family photos (or stitch them together in Photoshop) with all of them plus me and my wife and everyone is all on-task for the picture. Especially when they…

You can finally build the family you wish you had out of the random people spare parts in your other photos’ backgrounds.

nope...I left a trail of bodies stripped to their undies in my wake in Fallout 4.

All. Conservative. Accusations. Are. Confessions.

A la carte should have created price lowering competition. Instead it created price hiking collusion.

Yep, the last decade or so we’ve seen old men so disconnected from reality, who are also in major positions of power, say and do some incredibly baffling things. It’s never been 5d chess and it always explainable via Hanlons razor.

I like to think this all happened due to me, as I saw the mod in question just after it was uploaded, laughed at the crybaby who made it, and reported it. Within an hour, it was gone.

There were a handful of great reactionary mods that added MORE pronouns to the game. I liked that, and had a chuckle.

That’s the problem with “strict constructionists”. They don’t mean it. They will look at the case in front of them, they know how they want to rule, and then they go back and selectively choose bits of history to justify ruling the way they want to rule. They don’t strictly define “arms” by what were arms at the time…

What strikes me there is that if you turned off the sound you’d have absolutely no idea what’s being advertised.

Wow, there isn’t even a plane shown or her in her uniform. her talking about being “born to fly” could just as well being her talking about how she was born to trip balls on acid.

I came across a dog-eared copy of Coffee, Tea or Me? during an extended hospital stay in the late 1980s. It’s worth tracking down and reading to give you an idea of just how insane the industry was at the time. The publishers obviously made the authors talk up their sexual escapes in racy-for-the-era fashion, but they…
