i’d cancel my discord nitro to send a message to discord devs not to support NFTs, except:

• no i wouldn’t
• i don’t have discord nitro

@KitRedgrave feels almost like the same could be said of capitalism

@Satsuma i think frankenstein is probably one of the chief sources of inspiration for steampunk automaton narrative

@Satsuma i think if you dig into like, steampunk literature though, a lot of automatons do indeed have feelings and capacity for independent action

@Satsuma right, which is also true of bionicle

« What's IRC? »

@Satsuma original question was https://chat.noelle.codes/@noelle/107244322160963873 although i was thinking more broadly in terms of “supernaturally animated construct (probably anthropomorphic in nature)”

@Satsuma but this is actually the result of me thinking about non‐golem automatons in contemporary fiction in response to a question by ellie about terminology for them

@Satsuma anyway in bionicle lore it is the spark of life inside their chest which makes them animate, which is akin to the electrical shock which makes the creature come to life

@Satsuma (can’t wake up)

@Satsuma plastic production is definitely a necro *something*

@Satsuma lego is just necromancy with dinosaurs

@Satsuma he was put together from pieces

nah fuck that

actually Frankenstein was the name of the scientist. the creature’s name is Bionicle
