Insane Idea

I hate targeted ads but I also hate the untargeted gambling & ozempic ads (I dont like gambling and if I lost 10 pounds I'd die of malnutrition) maybe the truth lies somewhere inbetween... all ads are bad

I’m very sorry, Laura Bailey, but my pal Thermidor asked me to kill you and your friend.

My collection of armored core 6 memes. Pls add more ty

And yes one of these was screenshotted from a tumblr post I just realized. Thank my discord server for that one x.x

Don’t tell Proto, but I accidentally installed DOOM on his memory disk

decolonization is unsettling? uhhh yeah j sure hope it is

One of the things I liked about Armored Core VI is how it really shined a light on how corporations exploit their workers, particularly by the “we aren’t a company, we’re a family” mentality.

You can really see this with both Arquebus and Balam, particularly in the Vespers and Redguns.

On the Vesper side, you clearly have a lot of dynamics going on. O’keefe cares about the people under him, as evidenced by the way Pater speaks about him in the true ending. Plus Hawkins and Pater’s relationship. There’s also Maeterlinck, who respects Snail as her superior and looks up to him. And Snail, as the firm company man who see himself as the embodiment of Arquebus, exploits ALL of this. He knowingly sends Maeterlinck to die by your hand, exploiting her loyalty. He constantly throws those under his command out on useless missions just because he can (as evidenced by the dialogue between Hawkins and Pater). He doesn’t care about anyone or anything but himself and sees himself as the true future for Arquebus.

On Balam’s side you have the Redguns. A fucked up military family lead by Michigan. Michigan knows the names of those under his command, even the grunts in MTs. He cares about everyone under his command and Balam exploits the shit out of that. The Redguns are sent on suicide missions constantly. They clearly seem to be underfunded compared to the Vespers and Balam tried to rush out ahead of Arquebus to their downfall to make up for their financial shortcomings.

The corpos don’t care though. They see the family dynamic in their Ace AC squads as another tool in their belt. ACVI is good.

Trying to S-rank random missions in Armoured Core 6 is made infinitely funnier by considering the music I'm currently listening to as being diagetic.

You're G5 Iguazu, desperately trying to kill this random freelancer dipshit so you can finally escape this nightmarish government maze, and they scoot onto the scene, Yakuza 0 karaoke tracks blaring in their cockpit so loudly you can hear it, and proceeds to fucking shred you in under a minute with enough rockets to make god cry.
