        Re: your username: Is a Replicant Batty Coda just a normal Batty Coda? He’s already a cyborg with crappy/ intermittent reception.

          I had to look that up lol, I’ve never seen Fern Gully. The username is a reference to Roy Batty, the character from Blade Runner.

            Ahh, gotcha. It’s a good movie. Kinda sad looking back. They played it in schools in the '90s and drilled the message in that we were already doing clear cutting of forests without “The Leveler.” This was back when they “cared about global warming, and we will have to do something about it soon.” Rather than just claiming it doesn’t exist.

            Robin Williams played Batty Coda, so I remember the character fondly.

        You must be referring to the Woodlouse Hunter which hunts… *checks notes …Granny Grunters.

        I only ever called them woodlouses when I learned that name as a teenager because everyone here always called them “roly-polies” or “potato bugs.”
