1900s me can still hear the mech names being announced in Mech Warrior 2

[-] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 months ago

With that lisp it had because of the vocoder and then the really crunchy 90's audio compression, so it definitely called it a "Thummoner?"

Stay away from the Thummoner!

[-] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago

The Inner Sphere calls the Thummoner a Thor for short.

[-] FartMaster69@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 months ago

I think mechwarrior 2 came out a little later than the 1900s

[-] Omega_Jimes@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 months ago

1995 is very much in the 1900's.

[-] FartMaster69@lemmy.dbzer0.com -2 points 2 months ago

Actually it’s in the 1990s, there’s about a 90 year difference.

[-] Omega_Jimes@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 months ago

The 1990's are in the 1900's.

Clanners even improved your trashcan designs.

[-] chronicledmonocle@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

To use the word "improved" would imply my beloved Orgus Industries mech wasn't already perfection incarnate. The majesty of its 32kph cannot be overstated.

[-] WraithGear@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

aww the response makes it way funnier

"Who you calling a timber wolf"

[-] systemglitch@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

I'm playing mechwarrior atm, this is great!

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

That's a Timberwolf! Neither a Marauder or a ~~Catalyst~~ Catapult.

[-] WraithGear@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

the Muurauder is just better though.

[-] chronicledmonocle@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

More like a Purr-rauder, amirite?
