Yuri x handheld is the real OTP in this one tho :v
^Getting a strong sense of déjà vu here for some reason...
^Philistine (noun)
2 a: a person who is guided by materialism and is usually disdainful of intellectual or artistic values
Since your needless jabbering mostly appears to be basic hostility to erudition that seems about right. (2 b may also be relevant, depending.) ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
^^That's what I meant with "competency of writing" and where I agree with Buggy here. The death may have been thematically an dramatically entirely fitting, but that does not mean it made much logical or even necessarily narrative sense - would hardly be the first time a poignant theme is handled in a clumsy and nonsensical fashion. It's sadly only too common for writers and directors to fumble hard on Big Topics™ and just come across as ham-fisted and gratuitous.
^^And some might call that being a nattering Philistine for no obvious reason.
^Student council x Ayano at least - the Invisible Prez nonwithstanding but she has other commitments.
...I can dig that.
^^Agreement is not incompatible with discussing topical details hithero unmentioned in the conversation.
And, yes, I also prefer to practice my skills with English language more complex than found in the average Twitter post. (Not a native speaker so I need the exercise, anyway.)
^I prefer to actually write out my reasoning.
^^A lot of that really comes down to the "technological assumptions" made about how AI works in the setting in question; still, it's self-evidently the baseline that long as the computer core housing one is intact the platform carrying it around is readily enough replaceable.
And yeah a combat model is going to have hardware surge protection and whatnot up the wazoo already to avoid frying from damage-related power spikes and similar inevitable disturbances in its own systems...
You seem to have some rather odd ideas about robots, AI and the like in fiction though. They can certainly be used for far more - and far more sophisticated storytelling - than merely showing off their relative robustness compared to squishy organics! Existential ruminations tend to feature prominently for fairly obvious reasons - and the irrecoverable destruction of a sentient machine not being meaningfully different from the death of a living being is certainly in itself a poignant statement about such questions, whatever the competency of the writing now might be.
