It definitely changed color quite a bit. Haven't had any mechanical troubles though. I also haven't used it a whole lot.

Why is this hitting me in the emotions so damn hard?
A screenshot from the online comic Escape from Abject Reality. The image shows the character Basket (a green basket), looking sad and saying, "Maybe I should be the one crying. I never really had any friends that I could trust. All I could do is cut them out." He's saying this after removing one of his mechanical legs.

The photo on the left features Jahnvi Madan (with dark hair, wearing a blue patterned top, speaking into a microphone). The photo on the right shows Bailey Ambrose Heller (with light hair, wearing a dark outfit, interacting with a mechanical dog-like robot). In the upper right corner, the "Town Hall Seattle" logo is displayed. Below the images, in large yellow text, is the phrase "APPLICATIONS NOW OPEN."

A screenshot from the online comic Escape from Abject Reality. The image shows Basket (a green basket with mechanical limbs) staring at one of his mechanical arms while the other one lies severed on the ground. A screenshot from the online comic Escape from Abject Reality. Three panels of the comic are shown. In the first panel, Basket (a green basket) looks over at Badgey (a red button badge, only visible from behind in these panels). Badgey is kneeling next to the remains of bucket, who was destroyed in an earlier panel. In the second panel, Basket looks worried and is saying, "Hey round pin thing. I know you're busy... crying but maybe you help me get this thing off me?" In the final panel, we see Badgey shaking while Basket says, "Hello? Are you listening to me? Button? Badge?" out of frame.

Together we'll explore how our 'mechanical' identification with thoughts and reactions robs us of the opportunity to be nourished by whatever life presents.

What changes when we recognize that the quality of our attention determines whether our experience feeds us or exhausts us?

its the feeling of replaying a game and it becoming much easier, not because you do more damage or are a higher level, but because you learned how to play better. whether through twitch reflex mechanical skill or through better decision making. its euphoric and defines most of my favorite games

Pen drawing of a feminine figure on the right side with an elongated skull that flows into various organic shapes down and around her long neck as he long tongue extrudes out of her mouth, licking twisted organic form with multiple faces and made up of intertwining tendrils and other fleshy, bulbous shapes. Surrounding the scene are streaks of night sky embedded with ghostly forms and surrounded by twisted bodies and body parts. Pen drawing of an alien covered in coral looking bio-mechanical growths and a fogged visor only showing eyes with tentacle like limbs 'crab-walking' towards the left. Its companion is folded up in a corner among the curved walls that are covered in alien machinery that has organic like textures that look carved or inscribed. Behind the moving alien is a large oval window showing a star scape in deep space. Pen drawing of a humanoid with a void and a single star-like pin point of light in the center. Their unclothed but low definition body flows down into a number of organic shapes and semi-human faces that make up the overgrown mass of eyes, and root like structures. Up the sides it flows up into aged bone and metal structures that eventually becomes a set of highly complex technological structures that radiate outward from a marble like halo that surrounds the head. Pen drawing of a tall, slender feminine being made of black space with white symbols showing on the body and white ellipses in place of the face with an upturned crescent moon shaped headdress or horns with another circular one over the head in a 2/3 halo. This being is standing among several jet black tentacles in front of a large stone ruin with cathedral like overtones and lurking between the columns is a tentacled eldritch horror with several tentacles wrapped around and oozing between the columns with a gas giant looking planet several times the size of the moon in part of the sky visible in the upper right corner.
