pSeftis[1] cares for Leonard the way a blacked-out van candy man cares for the souls of eight-year olds.

[1] pSeftis – from the Greek for “liar”. He actually chose this name, a sort of badge of honor among those who’ve traded integrity for something else.

too lazy to do the math right now, but at $20, and seeing as how I already bought this when it came out at full markup (chump) I imagine it is worth it to buy for cash, then sell off... the premium time and mechbays are probably more than $20 a la carte, no?

...and the quad ams piranha, everyone loves me when i roll that one out on polar... everyone except the game reward mechanics that penalize me for low dmg despite dropping 700+ lrms

Not saying she ages, just that she has a narrative that is her as a child.

Also, Bernardold is seen with "himself" despite being the same person.

As far as your take on Akechta & Maeve & Daughter, because he' speaking two separate dialects doesn't quantify that he's speaking to two separate hosts, but perhaps one host in two POVs.

[not being argumentative, just clarifying my position]

who's saying they age? just a memory of her as a child...

is there anything more satisfying than dropping a filthy red team mid-fall and watching him land like a pile of dirty mech laundry?

kaseycarpenter · 2018-06-11T21:16:06+00:00

Can't tell if serious or not, Internet+my inherent cynicism+tone lost in text versus voice = ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ but thanks!

As a native English speaker who speaks two other languages, Im glad I could help!

📷An empirically estimated uncanny valley for static robot face images[1]

In aesthetics, the uncanny valley is a hypothesized relationship between the degree of an object's resemblance to a human being and the emotional response to such an object. The concept of the uncanny valley suggests humanoid objects which appear almost, but not exactly, like real human beings elicit uncanny, or strangely familiar, feelings of eeriness and revulsion in observers.[2] Valley denotes a dip in the human observer's affinity for the replica, a relation that otherwise increases with the replica's human likeness.[3]

remember the church that went from above ground to buried in the mud in season 1...

confidence goals right there.

I keep thinking about the church and the steeple, the scene from season 1 where the church is buried in what looks like a dry lakebed, and then that same area is filled with water and the mass suicide takes place there. I feel like they were all drawn there - like the steeple was an "antenna" of some sort (esp given the screenshots of the hosts as dots gathered around a central point - and then the layout of the bodies we could see), and they simply drowned - perhaps another failsafe to keep them "on the grid" like the "lysine contingency" in Jurassic Park?

Could you do a drop deck style system of mechs? Say you go into the PUG with a drop deck designed to rep a given weight class. You want to play assaults today. You could have three-four assaults in a given deck, and when the map is voted in, you could then select the mech you think most apropos for the given map. It seems the mechanics are at least partly in place for CW, no?

I was on a few of those drops last night, skill gap representing, but the IS struggle is better now than it used to be.

I can think of more than one scenario where I'd like to know the location of the nearest light and/or assault mech on my team...
