Breadtube if it didn't suck.

Post videos you genuinely enjoy and want to share, duh. Celebrate the diversity of interests shared by chapochatters by posting a deep dive into Venetian kelp farming, I dunno. Also media criticism, bite-sized versions of left-wing theory, all the stuff you expected. But I am curious about that kelp farming thing now that you mentioned it.

Low effort / spam videos might be removed, especially weeb content.

There is a cytube that you can paste videos into and watch with whoever happens to be around. It's open submission unless there's something important to commandeer it with at the time.

A weekly watch party happens every Saturday (Sunday down under), with video nominations Saturday-Monday, voting Monday-Thursday. See the pin for whatever stage it's currently in.

I absolutely love NHRL and other battle bot type stuff. Thank you for posting this and please post more if you feel the need.

Also, does NHRL allow sponsorships? We should sponsor our own bot. “Hexbot” seems like a decent enough name, but “STRUGGLE SESSION” would be the best name for a hexbear funded bot imo.

Word, welcome. I don't get into the battlebot stuff very much, but Insta showed me a big ol' TransRights bot and felt it needed sharing. aubrey-happy

If you’ve never seen it before you should check out the NHRL YouTube channel which posts tons of extremely fun full bot battle videos: https://youtu.be/fVYLi1dQ8NA

I've seen a couple, just can't get into it more than a vid or two. But I'm impressed by the tech from time to time.

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

Chainsaw is no match for ramming speed.

I love NHRL and robot combat and it's a trip seeing someone here other than me posting about it.

[–] Babs@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Here are my current robots, BBYGRL (3lb drum spinner) and TRANS FIGHTS (1lb plastic antweight wedge bot).

BBYGRL fought her first tournament a couple months back and went 2-2 but got pretty wrecked, so I'm working on her next iteration still. Thanks to technical difficulties day-of, TRANS FIGHTS is still a virgin.

rat-salute-2 were you posting about your in progress builds awhile back? Because I still maintain a shitload of those things would probably be useful against a hoard of cops trying to kettle protesters. data-laughing

[–] Babs@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah that was probably before I forgot my old password. I think I posted WIP things for both of these.

[–] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

Word. Glad to hear you're still at it. stalin-approval

Robot Combat just isn't the same without Craig Charles or Mick Foley on commentary

I wasn't expecting to see Tony Clifton in attendance.
