    This was a triumph.
    I’m making a note here:
    HUGE SUCCESS.
    It’s hard to overstate
    my satisfaction.

    because we can.
    For the good of all of us.
    Except the ones who are dead

      But there’s no sense crying over every booboo
      You just keep on trying 'til you run out of statues
      And the killing gets done, so you replicate a gun
      For the people who are still alive

    I bet Peanut Hamper would download a turret. She strikes me as just bonkers enough to override some security clearances.

      Ah slag, the scapegoat for forcing weapon variety on top of the bullet sponge late game mechanics. Still the best of the series, though.

      My favorite way to use it has to be the Nuke + Gemini Turret strategy. Toss one nuke at the enemy, drop the other right in front of yourself, immediately pack it back up, wait for cooldown, repeat.

    I absolutely adore this scene. Not only does this maniacal genius weaponize the ops replicators on the off chance he needs that to happen, but they can never hurt him. So much so he can use the replicators as he pleases - this is thirsty work after all - while the whole room is set ablaze with lethal phaser fire.

    I really need a gif of the whole “i’m thirsty waitasec” scene that’s before that last screengrab.
