Most Gundam Shows: Piloting a Gundam is Hell, because this is War and War is Hell
Gundam Wing: also if it has the Zero System it will make you an unbeatable pilot but also probably drive you insane
G-Witch: piloting a Gundam literally hurts as you get caught in the data storm
GQuuuuuuX: yeah piloting a Gundam makes you trip balls on something that's like a mixture of MDMA and psychedelics

@erincandescent SEED: who the fuck wrote this operating system!? this is absolute shit, wtf

@OctaviaConAmore @erincandescent me with every operating system in existence

@kasdeya @OctaviaConAmore @erincandescent if they made an actually good operating system I would be out of a job

@OctaviaConAmore one of my favorite bits of SEED’s worldbuilding is how it strongly implies that the work Kira was doing for Morgenroete prior to the beginning of the series was secretly building part of the OS for the G-Weapons, which helps explain how he got it working so quickly

@erincandescent I guess that also explains how quickly he sizes up the OS and, in the face of literal mobile suits trying to kill him, decides re-writing parts of the code is the main priority

huh... come to think of it, weren't basically all of his close friends shown working with him in robotics? I'm trying to remember if they ever expand on it beyond the first episode or two...
