complete with trigger happy border militias getting merc’d by a Coyote (not the animal) with a mech with a huge machete
EXTREMADAMENTE BASADO

Reminds me of Heavy Gear at least in the style of the Mechs.
Now there's a game that needs to be resurrected.
Mechwarrior Online was a mess, but it did a great job modernizing and standardizing the 'Mechs.
I want FromSoft to take a break from the soulsborne stuff and give us another Armored Core game. I want to spend another 150 hours building and painting cool mechs again :sadness:
I'll confess this only once: some of the characters in my own novel trilogy started as NPCs I made for a Heavy Gear RPG campaign.
You can find the first chapters of the first book here for free.

I'm not sure if I should say out loud which characters were originally created for use in Heavy Gear. I will say this: in those first chapters, one of the characters was made for my Shadowrun campaign all the way back in the 90s.
Wow. It's surreal reading something written by someone here my brain keeps trying to read it like a copypasta, not through any fault of your own but because it's so close to the things we do bits about, but then those bits are born of cynicism and material analysis and why wouldn't everything in that first page be the norm in this future? I had to take a step back and reread it trying to dissociate it from that and it's really good so far.
In that case, the jobber might want to pick up a second or third jobbie alongside the first and wouldn’t care about the subscription tier of the jobbie. It was enough for Megan to hope for and to make waiting near him worth the gamble.
This is where we are headed, this is some prescient shit. Algorithms driving human behavior taken to its logical conclusion.
I think you might like the Detroit Free Zone books. The first one is called Minimum Wage Magic and I get a real similar vibe from this.
Believe it or not, my novel trilogy doesn't have one of those trendy ambigious/bad endings. Why write a trilogy of books about a grim and all too familiar speculative future if there's no hope at all?
I don't normally watch mech stuff but you've convinced me to give it a chance. Also I didn't know there was a Blame! movie. Neat!
Its very obviously a love letter to legenday mecha Votoms design wise. Theme and tone wise probably as well. Didnt hear the best things about it and the aesthetic and CG isnt appealing at all to me. Long story short , watch Votoms
