Oh no. Anyways…

You assume I was for the 20 year genocidal war? Why? IMHO it was a huge fucking mistake too.

I’d have ever so much more sympathy if they hadn’t just spent over a year genociding Palestine…

About freaking time someone called them on it.

That would be the dumbest thing he could possibly do to himself. Honestly I hope he is smarter than that because Putin would turn him upside down and shake him until every last nickel falls out of his pockets, and put it all into the war effort against the Ukraine.

Nope, nope, nope. It's not like I was ever a Telegram fan, but never again, nope.

Humorous rogue cyborgs aren't super common, alas. The tongue-in-cheek humor of it reminds me of Stainless Steel Rat a bit, and occasionally Larry Niven's stuff too. His Gil Hamilton character is pretty droll at times, and it comes through in some of his short stories about him. (For pure humor from Niven, try "The Flight of the Horse".)

You might try Strata by Terry Pratchett, which is a bit in both camps? It's a one-off, but a lot of fun. Can't say it has anything at all to do with rogue cyborgs though.

Egads, I was unaware that was as thing too. That's even stupider!

I feel like that was an engineered perception based in a vocal group of idiots, TBH. I played the second game at launch and it rocked me to my core. The story was strong in my opinion.

Pedro and Bella had good chemistry. Bella without Pedro? Not so much most of the time. Which is really frustrating because occasionally Bella shows a flash of brilliance and you’re like “OK, she can act.” But too many times Isabela has had to carry the scenes it feels like.

And Abby… I know they have said she doesn’t need to be physically jacked for the TV show, but I’m sorry, I am not really buying it. No offense to the actress they did choose, just not working in this particular role for me at all.

Having said all that, I am still basically enjoying Season 2? A lot of it is really well done, TBH. Just suffering from some unfortunate character dynamics that I think have disappointed a lot of viewers more than me apparently.
