Then, I stumble on this post on Armored Core, and nostalgia hits me right in the face. When did you guys all start doing the mecha jam? I remember my very first time playing that game, and I thought, whoa, giant robots!

A deluge of replies came in, and they sure pulled on my heartstrings. One guy, ‘porkboy321’, said he found a demo disc in a game shop, and man, those demo days were something to look forward to! I mean, slotting in that demo and going off to experience a whole different universe-boom! Speaking of which, warm fuzzies just hit me, just like how my cat just pushed my glass of water in my lap. Thanks, Mittens!

Then BitBullVault comes on and says it’s been ages since he played, and same here. Explore 4, and suddenly here we are in 2023, and I haven’t stepped in a mech suit for ages! He claims, “Armored Core 3” was his first. LOL, I see you, buddy. Armored Cord? Quite the shot there. But we’ve all been there, typing so fast that autocorrect messes it all up!

DecayUnborn says he made a straight-up video on his first experience. Come on; I’d be lucky to clean my room, let alone make a video
 that said, respect!

Now serious scorched feelings from ___Briggy come in like “I never even entered one,” then something about the companies should put more brains in their DEI work. Like, what? Dude, this is a gaming thread! Chill! Although I kinda feel him, though; sometimes it does make you feel they care more about what they have to say than what to actually do about it in-game.

Out comes ‘fourOhFourNFdev’ about sitting in front of a CRT, where the first one was played, at four in the morning? What a throwback! That polygon therapy during those days; such a good feeling! Now all shiny and realistic, which I totally miss.

And that one reply was just, “put em all on the PS5”? YES, PLEASE! Who doesn’t want to mech it up on the newest console? But of course, there’ll always be that one guy to jump in: “No thanks, I want newer stuff,” this time, ‘dallas4psn’. C’mon, man, can’t we just enjoy both?

Pretty much, I’ve been considering diving into the mech wars all day long now. With the weather being totally uncooperative outside, why waste an entire day just button-mashing and blowing stuff up?

Wait, what was I saying? Oh, yeah; Armored Core. Just suit up for those who haven’t checked it out or are just starting. Just don’t blame me when you’re losing track of time. And, like I was saying about losing track, my fellow coworker dudes just popped in all dressed up in some unbelievable hat. What on Earth?

That wraps up my rant. Until next time, gamers! Stay salty and keep your mechs gassed! đŸŠŸ
