The scale in Armored Core is nuts, I need to find the video, but zullie the witch posted a video comparing elden ring critters to bosses in AC and its pretty hilarious to see the tarnished perched on one if the ice worm's little tiny grinder nubs on its face.

But yes, I would love a crossover climbing up a broken mech as a level or something.

Edit: found it! https://youtu.be/yGRd8ooThn4

    Because I work in food service I have to do the whole hair net, apron, and hat shuffle, and can't have jewelry or rings or anything like that near the fryer and assorted food prep stuff. My hair being jammed into a hairnet and under a hat also doesn't help.

    I'm just annoyed that it makes me look like an androgynous employed blob. Maybe I'll see if I can do patches, I was already told no on pins. I just need to find things to wear that are food safe and aren't going to get me sucked into a spinning meat slicer blade, but that still helps customers not misgender me, ideally.

    I have visited wikipedia. So you mean the anarchy that is "without hierarchy or authority" but not complete chaos?

    I guess I'm unclear how you manage that without it devolving into chaos though. Like corporations constantly prove that if we don't have a law against it they'd just sell humans. I dunno how you manage to make an equitable society without some kind of rules and enforcement of said rules, when there will always be bad actors.

    It's a more complex concept than I assumed, but I struggle to conceptualize what that kind of system actually looks like.

    Anarchy only helps those privileged enough to have the means to defend what they have with violence.

    Anarchy means the sick, disabled, poor, minorities, etc are thrown to the wolves, and expected to defend themselves with less capability and resources than the majority.

    Sure, you might argue family units or communities might band together and take care of each other, but they probably need some rules to make that equitable since not everyone will agree, and- oops we made government again.

    I was too young at the time, like kindergarten or first grade I think. Nobody told me what was happening, so I honestly didn't know about it until a couple years later. I guess they just didn't want to explain it to a kid.

    I couldn't find a source on the possession thing, but maybe you're referring to the general way that mental health used to be explained by the supernatural when we didn't fully understand the involved conditions.

    https://www.findlaw.com/criminal/criminal-procedure/the-insanity-defense-history-and-background.html#%3A%7E%3Atext=Courts+in+ancient+Rome+and%2Cpardon+or+mitigate+a+sentence

    This article was a fun read, and so was the wiki :)

    Also, they're looking for specific, named conditions/diagnosis. Nobody is claiming she's insane because she killed her kids. They're pointing to the history of mental health issues/treatment, various prescribed psych meds, the immediate subsequent suicide attempt, etc. Mental health professionals testified for both sides. It isn't a vibes thing.
