@jk I'm taking this as commentary on the fact that most new exciting computing things everyone's meant to be excited about these days are just black boxes on a rack somewhere

"but, like, where are my flying cars lol"

WE HAVE THOSE, MOTHERFUCKER

@Violet ...wut?

@Elizafox well, you start with snap and then the rest of it is just the rice crispies thing

@squirrel robots good also

protect all the squirrels, bunnies, and robots

hug computer*

*if and only if computer wants to be hugged

@kara@occult.camp @Jo I thought they did, it just happens to be russian bots running it instead of the US

@Jo copyright terms not being 100+ years long might be a good start

the more I see of linux techtips the more I want him to be nowhere near anything that uses electricity

@TonicBH besides, said lady is wielding a cricket bat wrapped in razor wire which immediately gains enough awesome points for the rule of cool to kick in

@TonicBH the trailer also has a brit jumping out of a window carrying a katana but apparently that bit's fine

The Battlefield V reveal trailer has, as a featured character, a badass british sniper lady with a prosthetic arm that kills a nazi with a cricket bat wrapped in razor wire

THAT'S FUCKING AWESOME

@noelle

@Jo that's just entirely Tolkein's fault

"Hmm... I need a name for something... eh, fuck it, let's just use the word "golem" with the serial numbers filed off"

@noelle super thin little noodle
