Psychic powers Vs being a gestalt entity formed from a nanite swarm pros and cons:
Psy:
Pros: levitation, flight, never having to touch things to lift them about, possibility of Megalovania as a battle theme, MIND CRUSH, glowy eyes, hair gets rad and floaty.
Cons: weak physical prowess usually, few melee options, ki blasts aren't technically psychic powers, sure you can toss rocks around but a rock is still just a rock, possibility of body horror D:
Also, still gotta touch and carry the totally gross garbage to take it out to the bin D:

I really kinda liked The Surge for it's depiction of nanite beings, but that was a very "attack mode" style, which is a shame. Was very cool seeing undulating, almost otherworldly crystalline structures that keep shifting and reforming. I'd like more peaceable, friendly nanite swarm depictions
@Nine ahh I’ve not hear of that?
And sane tbh. I like the idea of freindly sorta blob swams that just are curious?
@Doggo
The Surge is a purely single player dark souls esque game that is set in the future. It's pretty hard, but surprisingly very good. Levels are designed extremely well, as are enemy types. I have one criticism, in the the flood of weapons is distracting and pointless as there's like... A couple of good weapons and everything else is objectively just bad except in singular situations for the most part
@Doggo
Other than that though, despite not being especially accessable if you're not able to play high difficulty action games like the souls series, it's pretty good and I had fun.
@Doggo
Friendly blob swarms are absolutely a thing that should happen though very yes
@Nine ahh okay thanks for letting me know, will look at art!
And yep! Kinda wanna make a nanite OC now!
@Doggo yay! More fellow swarmfriens :D
@Nine I think nanites sounds cooler? But that’s just bc like I can see it being visually interesting with a form made up of very reflective metal as it flows from one shape to the other.
That’s just me though! I just get excited abt nanites as a concept XD
