If I'm not here, I'm doing photography. Or I'm asleep. Or in lockdown. One of those three, anyway.

The current titlebar/avatar setup is just normal.
Power Armour, easy.

Fallout's ones (ignoring the retconning and outliers) don't have many weaknesses apart from EMP's and the user inside, whereas mechs have those great fucking legs as weakpoints.

Break one or two hydraulic pumps or the actuators, and the thing collapses. Hasn't Halo's Scarabs shown you the clear disadvantage of walking tanks compared to tracks?

Or the AT-AT being taken down by fucking with the legs

Or the AT-ST being taken down by fucking with the legs

A bunch of space teddy bears took those AT-STs down with ease.

Exactly.

They rolled some fucking logs under it. That has to be a contender for most pathetic defeat.

Ember used to be cool and funny

Now he's just gay
mechs, even the more humble walking-tank designs, have always adhered more to the rule of cool than actual practicality

-centre of gravity is high, meaning they can be taken out by blowing up a leg or pushing them over
this is only a problem if the base is narrow

Remove the weird guns that look hard to reload and yeah, pretty good.

Y'know I always like CoDAW exosuits as a decent example of what a practical exoskeleton would look like. Small/ not as bulky as to block access to doors/ other tight spaces and more focused on augmenting existing abilities. Remove the jetpack and stupjd superpower things and it'd be good.
