Ah, Pod. Surprisingly one of my favorite characters, despite being the whole 'I am your robot companion' shtick. I won't go into specifics, but I've realized that the Pod is like if Fi from Skyward Sword was written well as a character. Can't wait to see where this train takes us, even after having beaten the game.

What I feel is personally the best counter is using the Pod’s shot, which converts it into an AOE charged shot that will absolutely wreck and stun most common enemies. It’s by far the most reliable of the lot and is frankly, to use technical terminology, “loving rad”.

Fun fact about the pods is they don't tell you that there ARE combination attacks with them. If I remember correctly, hitting jump and the pod primary fire button at the same time in the air has the pod twirl you around and toss you at an enemy for some damage, while hitting light attack and the pod button at the same time in the air has the pod boost you for a small spinning upward kick. In fact, I'm sure I don't KNOW all the special attacks you might be able to do!

Maybe Yoko Taro is, like, Id's Gestalt or something? They both seem to have similar drinking habits at the very least.

I assumed it was kind of a failure to properly repair the scanner unit thing, and the stuttering was his voice module being crapped out. When I heard the update later from the e-mail I assumed his logic circuits just kind of went bonkers from the makeshift repairs and he straight up murdered the resistance member before breaking down entirely.

I think it's interesting how you can sometimes hear overtones in the voice acting for the machines, which makes it sound like they recorded it as regular dialogue before processing it into weird monotones at various octaves. Also I was happy to see you control a tall stacked stubby. Made me feel good inside.
I forget, did Id cover the incredibly useful and not at all stupid addition of the game giving you a voice filter you can turn on at any time to make everyone's voices sound awful? I believe it unlocks after route A, but...I kind of used it once then turned it off. Forever. Because it was bad.

fun fact: hacking is strongly affected by level scaling!

Imagine, for example, if you did this quest as soon as you could in the second playthough, and you were, let's say, level 35. It turns out that your hacking damage is so piddly it doesn't seem to affect the health bar and the fight would take about 45 minutes in all.

I've said it before and I'll just reiterate it. Pod 042 is like Fi from Skyward Sword if she had some sort of personality. Forcibly assigning objectives because the character is too stupid or stubborn to choose to do it on their own, and moving the plot along when necessary.

Yoko Taro would be better-suited to Kirby, I would say. The pause menu descriptions for some of the bosses, especially recently, are practically Weapon Stories already, not to mention how the secret final bosses of the last half-dozen games were all the corpse of the regular final boss, animated entirely by magic and hate, with the singular goal of murdering Kirby. And then there's Dark Matter, whose true form was a giant eyeball that bleeds at you to attack, tears its own pupil out to attack independently when near death, and was resurrected with a halo and wings in the following game. Also Dark Matter can possess and mutate people (as seen here). Like, it's all bright and cheerful on the surface, but Kirby's dealing with some heavy poo poo.
Dark-rear end Kirby bullshit would extremely be Yoko's poo poo.
