She probably did! But if Dr. Lee had a hand in designing the drones they probably have a Cockroach Reflex Avoidance Circuit and are very hard to hit… (Though watching the battle action dudes flail about trying to grab one would be super entertaining!)
Fiction makes sense because it has been well thought out, and often revised several times. Real life does not afford such luxury. Real life is like the first rough draft, but you’re stuck with it.
Haven’t watched it, haven’t read the books. Let’s just say I’ve formed a dislike to endless series books that (a) don’t answer everything before the end of the books, and (b) make you buy all the other books to know what’s going on. (I’d say more, but it would also involve a lengthy tirade about George Railroad Martin, his working habits, and probably his politics, too.)
I watched part of the first season, and decided it wasn’t my taste. The only thing I’ve really heard about the finale was that it sucked, and left a lot of questions unanswered. I haven’t heard anything good at all about it. So I’m just as glad I didn’t get wrapped up in 8 seasons just for it to end like that.
I don’t know about that. I would say a lot of what happened in the last GoT episode was foreshadowed, some of it from quite some time ago. I actually think the GoT ending mostly worked, and I was not dissatisfied with it.
Tune: Parklife by Blur (to the extent that there is a tune to Parklife by Blue)
Unity is sewing birds to herself in what we apparently call,
Real life!
Battle action dudes are launching airstrikes with the aim of ending our,
Real life!
I’ve just come from VR, I was chatting to Aimee there,
In a cyber replica of a Whimsy theme park,
And now I’m back in meatspace and looking around,
And if anything this seems weirder and more random.
All the robots,
So many robots,
And they all fight for the chance,
To log out of their,
Real life.
Also, I don’t remember the details but couldn’t Unity have just seeded those bird corpses with nano-goo so they become independent instances of her? And then they could go fly into the drones’ rotors, or drop rocks on the drones’ rotors, or whatever?
Bird brains are tiny. So she’d still not be running on much grey matter, and then the birds wouldn’t be able to see where they were going, even if they could function as her own drones without heads.
I can’t believe Unity didn’t think of throwing the battle action dudes at the airstrike drones.
She probably did! But if Dr. Lee had a hand in designing the drones they probably have a Cockroach Reflex Avoidance Circuit and are very hard to hit… (Though watching the battle action dudes flail about trying to grab one would be super entertaining!)
Cockroach Reflex Avoidance Protocol – C.R.A.P.
That is *such” a Unity thing to do! 🙂
I wonder if Dr. Lee would have hesitated to outfit Unity with flight armor if asked?
This is going to be the impetus for getting Nick back in the air, isn’t it?
I wouldn’t mind seeing Nick don flight armor. But I bet he could take over the entire drone force remotely!
Well, there’s your problem right there – you sewed them all onto one arm! That’s simply not an aerodynamically stable arrangement.
Her problem was she didn’t eat their brains first before designing her flight-meat.
I feel like in Nick’s case, it’s not RL (Real Life), it’s SL (Surreal Life).
Sometimes I think that statement applies to all of us.
Of course, at the moment Nick can’t fly either. Bit of a bollocks really.
Can Nick really be *sure* he’s back in RL? (Which I assume stands for “real life.”)
Because it is stranger than fiction. Which, from a fictitious person’s perspective is, shall we say, unreal.
Is Nick fictitious or am I? Flip a coin.
Can one ever be sure of the reality of what happens outside his head?
Nick is fictitious. You probably are too, but there’s *something* wondering whether you’re literal or literary.
Truth is stranger than fiction, because fiction always makes sense once you get to the end.

I don’t know about that. Did you watch the Game of Thrones finale?
I think that would be a good example of one that wasn’t well thought out.

Let us all hope that a certain finale for a certain online comic we all know and love and read regularly doesn’t end as badly as that.
Throw things.
I’m not kidding, Unity. You can shape your meat however you want and perform trigonometry in your head.
THROW THINGS.

He’s carrying his sister. ^_^
She ain’t heavy…
Not just carrying – he’s protecting her.
She is the MacGuffin for this storyline.

Know what I mean?

she could have but she is currently not running on large amounts grey matter so it probably didn’t occur to her
That’s why you bite the heads off of birds *before* sewing them to your arms!
Bird brains are tiny. So she’d still not be running on much grey matter, and then the birds wouldn’t be able to see where they were going, even if they could function as her own drones without heads.
