@body@mastodon.social in the halo universe, the Forerunners would make backup copies of prisoners of war before killing them, then torture their minds to pieces over the course of thousands of years. Particularly accomplished enemies were repurposed into AI, one of which probably intentionally caused their extinction. Another one is the shrill orb from halo 1
@Fenreliania That's as good as I got. My entire education was a scam
@Fenreliania I'd call it pop art
@Fenreliania not american but it's an easy one: performative excess. america's ideology is "more"
@Nine PankDods...
@jk i think by the time planes were invented it had only just stopped being the case that the only way to become an engineer was through the military, so most of the first planes were made to kill people by people who also had invented guns and such. This also means that military history freaks are fairly likely to like both
@Fenreliania I would love that too except folding screens fail at incredible rates
@noiob obviously, it's nintendo.
@noiob meaning it's going to be piss cheap when you factor in how many nintendo will be buying
@noiob it's not the hardest part to put together from scratch
Mosquito bites
@body@mastodon.social i got one in the sole of one foot once and now whenever I hear a mosquito whine i spring awake and don't go back to sleep until I've flattened it against the wall. The summer when that happened they had just started biting me incessantly and it just got worse and worse and worse, to the point of bites on my joints restricting the range of motion i had. So I feel you
I used to make art for this site.
I need a job.
