The real Nemesis System was the production meetings narrative designers won along the way

Most definitely

Yep! They have one slot for SF matches and one slot for Beijing matches…must have gotten lucky because they’ve been full ever since.

I pretended to be deactivated and then bolt for the door when the referee came in to reset my opponent, which just goes to show you Never Trust A Mech Pilot. Alas, my turn rate was too slow.

Apparently there are two SF robot boxing leagues and this is one of them: play.ufb.gg/play-now

(Although I suppose I’m agreeing with you because I don’t think anyone would say that’s healthy)

I live in the Bay Area, so people who are willing to sacrifice human connection and family for getting ahead in their career isn’t as crazy as it sounds to many people! Especially if you billed it as “jump 80 years into the future”

Like if this is the kind of mission you go "nah man let's send the interns, let's send some really disaffected people and then also pay them shit" like what's the *really well thought out mission*??

I want a prequel series showing how this crew of chucklefucks managed to capture not only a xenomorph, but multiple other species supposedly just as deadly.

The games industry is currently harder to break into than interstellar mechanics for nuclear-fueled ships on top secret missions for multi-national corporations.
