    After exhaustive research my committee has determined that Battletech and MechWarrior are the same thing HOWEVER true enthusiasts will distinguish them as different facets of the same franchise no more questions this investigative committee has been disbanded and its records expunged

    MechWarrior was the really cool video game you could play with twin joysticks.

    Battletech is some nerd shit I don't even know about.

    I'm researching for my Outer Wilds video

    and I read this quote
    "It proves that measurement is everything. At the quantum level, reality does not exist if you are not looking at it," lead researcher and physicist Andrew Truscott said in a press release.

    And now I'm having an existential crisis. Also who do I @ when I finish this video so people can tell me if it's good or not?

    Afraid I'd ruin it for everyone else by being so damn good at it.


    Also afraid I'll be required to paint miniatures or something, plus for some reason I have a concern that there's a robo-skylanders component that will consume all my money.

    And if there isn't, there obviously should be...

    Gasaraki is very much a Post-EVA mech show, in that it follows similar structures/character archetypes (this Rei has green hair, you see)

    BUT

    it features a cool plotline involving Noh performances linked to the summoning of a demon who was sealed in the warring states era, and also commentary on the deployment of Western military forces to occupy middle eastern states (in this case, experimental mechs)

    anyway my actual answer is that the best mechs are detached from a narrative IP, so Frame Arms wins

    esp. this chonky boi I definitely need to buy the kit for

    Do you know what leadership means, Lord Snow? It means that the OP gets second-guessed by every clever little shitposter with a mouth. But if he starts second-guessing himself, that's the end.
