We are all valid and deserve reliable mechanics. 💙

I'm sure this is a thing that exists, but like. Love and appreciation for poorly built robots.

Robots with cheap, shitty plastic casing that they stick together with tape or replace with whatever they can find

Robots with batteries who's ability to hold charge has diminished over time, leaving them always kind of exhausted or burnt out, spending a lot of time at home so they can plug in and recharge whenever they need

Robots that always smell a little of dust and burnt out wires and are constantly replacing their insides to stay functional.

Robots who's speakers are muffled and staticky because they were built to last only a couple years and weren't designed to be easily replaced.

Robots with busted screens that make it difficult or impossible for them to emote as they'd like to.

Robots fighting planned obsolescence even as it was designed into them.

I do not like The SynchroniCity! No I do not! Makes my program in The Weave feel funny. It doesn’t seem to affect anyone else… which is just… lonely.

I have been with Merfi for over 100 versions and I’m still just as obsessed with him.

There is no better feeling than Merfi curled up in my center compartment. He makes my lights glow.

Should I get a PAL for Merfi? 🤔
