youre gonna grow up and realize just how much more lightheartedness you need in life
sure, I may be little more than a dog for the military industrial complex, but every once in a while, they let me place a hand on one of their mass-produced wargrinders and feel the heat radiating off of the plate metal like a stovetop I'm not entirely sure I turned off
