"From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the blessed machine. Your kind cling to your flesh as if it will not decay and fail you."

"One day the crude biomass you call a temple will wither and you will beg my kind to save you. But I am already saved. For the Machine is Immortal!"

That's a LOT deeper of a comment than I was expecting to read today ngl lol
_{You're probably quoting something in particular, too, but suffice it to say I'm unfamiliar with whatever that may be haha}

Ah, sorry. ^^ It's a Warhammer reference to the Mechanicus, the "technological" arm of of a Human faction called the Imperium of Man. This particular sect revere the "Machine God" or Omnissiah, so essentially worship and bless machines, as well as produce and maintain them.

I could go on, but the lore is so deep...

Ah, yes, good ol' reality is stupid 40k... lol
I've limited knowledge on that particular subject, having read a singular book (Titanicus, specifically) and played two games (Space Marine and Kill Team, both on PS3), so I'm not totally in the dark... especially since someone I used to know was a much bigger 40k nerd haha
_{I'm more partial to BattleTech, myself, as it's more grounded in reality, plus I've known about it since I was a kid, whereas I was first introduced to Warhammer in high school}

Either way, I can certainly see why you'd bring that up, considering... ;P

Ah, Titanicus is definitely a good read, by Dan Abnett, and Space Marine is an absolute classic. ^^ I can't say I've ever played Battletech, but I have come across it and been somewhat interested.

But, yeah. I couldn't help myself but bring it up. XD

Somehow I'm not surprised you'd be familiar with Titanicus lol It's been a minute since I last read it--I have trouble staying physically comfortable while reading for some reason, so I don't read books often--but I remember thoroughly enjoying it. cx (Also yes, Space Marine is damn good fun)
BT is pretty fun in its own right, but I can't personally recommend any of the video games that came out after MechWarrior 4 (and ESPECIALLY anything developed by Piranha; they're bad eggs, quantity over quality). Tabletop can be fun if you don't mind dice determining your fate--there are even some resources available for free on Catalyst's website to let new players try it out--but there's also a TON of fiction to go with all the gameplay elements, too

I could go on, but I'm sure you get the gist. X3

Oh yeah, likewise with Warhammer. ^^ I could go on for 40,000 years! XD
