Exceptional video in an exceptional series.

Science fiction writers: PLEASE stop using "sentience" when talking about intelligence and selfhood. I am begging you. Not because "it doesn't apply", but because the word has a completely different meaning from what you think it actually means. You are polluting conversation.

Thinking about heavy mecha, and how we don't often see gynoid/robot girls who are heavy (thick bodies, tummies, big armour) in this category. Think Lfrith Ur, Kshatriya, etc. Any suggestions?

I cry every time I think of the scene. If you haven't seen the original Gunbuster, you must watch it. You really must.

This is *exactly* what talking reality with economists feels like. If solution to their mistake is found, they don't care because they don't want to learn to not make mistakes, because they don't care about harm prevention. Worse, they take pride in their ignorance. Glorified fucking children.

Taxonomically, my "carcinization" thought is that much as lobster tails become the underside of crabs for their protection I have a pet theory that a backpack accessory with enough moving parts eventually merges into the body. Think the floating sub-armed "backpack" on Metal Gear Rex, vs RX-78-2.

I've always really loved the idea of robots which carry supplies, equipment, or transport things they need like long-range fuel or cargo. My followers, can you show me the ones you like?

My complete and total sincerity grants me incredible terrain masking capability, with an extremely low vertical profile. Even the most sophisticated and advanced in comedy munitions are simply too high flying to strike my low brow.
