I think its a cool concept: giving old people power through technology and theyve already had a normal life so why not?

Stories rarely cover this. Maybe Handymen or Inuyashiki.

That was the original purpose of Roboticization in Sonic SatAM before Robotnik perverted it into a way to enslave Mobius.

This is probably the worst thing I've ever seen.

100 years from now when I'm dying on a hospital bed and I'm asked what my biggest regret was it will be that I turned on my internet and scrolled through the internet on that fateful day... I will never be able to recover from this. No amount of therapy will save me. No amount of prescription pills will let me recover. I am a shell. This memory is so bad my brain is physically rejecting it and now I have a headache every time I think about it. Why did you post this, thinking it was a good idea? You've permanently ruined my life because of this, I hope you're happy. I hope that one day this gets branded as a war crime and you get hauled off to prison, never to see the light of day again. The fact that you're already not in a psych ward for insanity is so baffling I have lost all faith in every kind of justice system. If you subscribe to any religion, you'd best spend the rest of your time atoning for this ultimate sin.

Have a terrible day, I hope this creation of yours haunts you in your dreams.

Because writing older people is difficult, they've got so much life experience, and thus act vastly different to young people.

Also, if you're an author in your 30s (The average age of an author who achieves bestseller status for the first time in the 2010s is 52, so most will start in their 20s/30s), it's easier to write a character in their 20s, because you can use your memories - quite easily with a little artistic license, the more you write such characters, the better you get at it - thus the more you'll write them.

This is the difficulty with writing "immortal" or really old characters - if they act like they're in their 20s, what have you achieved by making them "immortal" except making them appear unrealistic to a lot of people?

Call me a jaded old cynic, but I'm catching a whiff of melodrama here.

Holy shit, thanks for this. I'll tell my thirtysomething struggling writer wife. Should cheer her up
