Bag of little isopod shaped robots. They are fast moving with nuclear batteries and tungsten carbide shells and lots of sharp edges for chewing and burrowing through flesh. They can also dig into the ground a few inches and hibernate like cicadas to protect an area. Not wireless networked but instead have onboard processing for voice commands, use sense of smell for IFF and echolocation to coordinate their swarming.

Couldn’t stop a gun, but they are a deterrent against using it because if you shoot me we both die but you die in a more horrible way.

“UBI…?” Hahahaha. NO.

They intend to wring every last drop of productivity out of what’s left of the working class, finish the job of consolidating all wealth at the top and leaving us with absolutely nothing. After that, the plan is to keep the angry starving hordes away from the walls of their freedom cities and luxury bunkers and super-ultra-mega-yachts with AI powered auto-turrets and kill-bots and murder-drones and robot dogs with frickin flamethrowers on their heads.

Worms!

Although I just looked that one up and they have been making new versions of it continuously so I don’t know if it really counts as an old 90s game anymore.

Evey time I can remember having to use that lever it was because of some fuck driving with their 1.21GW LED high-beams on right behind me, and therefore deserving a 🖕, which can conveniently also be used to toggle the mirror… Two birds with one stone. Either that’s not nearly as universal an experience as I’d hoped or all the Lemmy users who like to drive with their brights got triggered being called out- either way my post does not meet the high editorial standards of the showerthoughts community, so deleting it.
