Even though I'm pretty sure Whirl is being sincere in wanting to volunteer to get shot... this is a beautifully executed double act to stall Max here.
I'm having trouble breathing, much less coming up with words for my Rewind feels here. Like, I don't even have context to know why. This is just well written enough that I have the feeling of this being a huge deal for him and I don't even know why but I'm feeling it anyway. Just. Augh.
...okay, so the only other robots I've seen confirmed dead where their injuries were clear had to do with their sparks being damaged/eaten. But heads are important? and they're talking about a speech over Rung? I am so confused. How do you know when a robot is dead. My sister is just laughing and telling me that they can't explain what's going on, so I'm guessing you guys can't either without spoiling things, but I am liveblogging my confusion for the record.
WHAT THE HELL THAT'S SUPPOSED TO BE THE OUTSIDE HE'S SUPPOSED TO BE IN A WHITEOUT CHAMBER WHAT THE EVERLOVING FUCK ...Red Alert may or may not be a liability but he's a hell of a (useful? creative? thorough?) one.
Two things play into that, the brain module and the spark. the brain module is the brain, the spark is... it has some heart symbolism, but there's also the fuel pump, which does the actual pumping. from what i've understood, the spark powers sentience.
I would say that it's not necessary. I found "Last Stand of the Wreckers' to be confusing without reading the previous wreckers comics. The comic expects you to already care about the characters so it doesn't take much time with them before the action starts.
Thank you for clarifying! Also: I thought you all would appreciate this realization I just had, looking over this reply and musing about Rung's state. I sat straight up, looked over at my sister, and said, "Oh no! [asynch], Rung's eyebrows are gone!"
oh boy I... didn't change anything since the last time I changed stuff to make it work???? So I'm not sure what's wrong, but I can try troubleshooting.
the last post that has pictures on the thread for me is the first post on page 7, i didnt even get that the others were supposed to have posts? like, i dont even get the little stop-sign image that usually comes up if a picture cant be displayed?
Yeah, the first post on page 7 is the only one I embedded an image in! Sometimes I just react with text, I don't always take a correlating snip.
This is what the first post on this page looks like for me: I went back a few pages and the other images appear to be working fine
Wheras @asynch is reporting other images on page 6 as broken... it's so weird when things are broken for some people but not others. Working on fixing them.
Mmmkay, it looks like... most of them are fixing just fine, at least on @asynch 's computer, but posts #120 and #121 are not actually accurately updating their edit history when I try to go back and edit the image links, so there may be a forum issue???
I've only had trouble when I didn't understand the way the privacy settings needed to be set with my image hosting. I thought Google Photos was pretty widely used by people here, and it's recommended for hosting for every other site I interact with. Edit: regardless, it's not my image hosting that's making the two posts mentioned not show edit history.
Edits usually show immediately. These edits have been being attempted at about ten-twenty minute intervals for nearly an hour - post #120 hasn't updated its edit timer since that time, and post #121 doesn't show it's ever been edited. I appreciate that you're trying to help, but I have technical support IRL, I have more data on what's happening, and I don't really need unsolicited troubleshooting help.
Okay! My posts seem to be behaving (I've been able to edit the posts that weren't working), I'm ready for more robots.
