Yeah, with like a billion years between them. Or something like that.
World Corp War ended the world, and is mostly mythological.
Corpo-Foss war happened 80 years before Girl became the student of Fish.
The three Mata brothers left the bunker, made the first bot and reclaimed the destroyed world somewhere between the two wars. In Grendel it's somewhat implied there is a gap of at least 200 years between Three brothers and Girl. But who knows what's even canon.
We were playing the rpg Feng Shui, and had access to an extremely ancient office that had a computer in it that had been running since... since the Commodore 64 was a thing.
It was accidentally an AI, but like a real one. Not these modern liars.
We almost killed it doing a reboot, don't worry. He's fine. He lost like a decade of memories but those were mostly being in an empty office.
He was very happy we woke him up from low power mode cause he was bored af
We never got to see if he was an evil or good AI, game ended before that
I'll have to ask the DM if he remembers what the AI was going to be but his answer will be "Jesus Rebekah, that was like fifteen years ago why were you thinking about that?"
Answer less amusing, it was "I'm sorry I don't remember any specific Feng Shui campaign, it was too long ago. I believe you when you say there was an AI though."
Everytime I see pentium-M man I go to ebay and look for socket 370 motherboards
that will take the later pentium-m cpus, or find one of the many laptops that come
with this. Like a cheap dell d600s of which there are billions. And then I slap myself
and look away.
Deeply fascinating, the combination of surrealist art and technical subject matter (peppered with the appropriate amount of snark and goofiness) stokes my curiosity about technology!

Yeah.. The modern MATA_Bots have newly manufactured flatheads of course. This is what was available back then.

There are two wars right?
The one that destroyed the world, and the corpo-foss war where purple and fish survived?

Nice! Also, I find really amazing that you, from all people, doesn't know what is canon or not
silver@das-eck.haus · 8 pts · 262d
It's actually my job to determine canon but I'm really lazy about it

I did not realise there is so much lore to these comics of yours.

Reminds me of the ZAX super computer in the first Fallout game.
I think OpenBlade is kind of like that.

I like ACE more. It (supposedly) caused the end of the world out of boredom

A war we'll never win, but It's worth fighting
