I Think My Favorite Detail I've Picked Up On From Tonight's WarGames Rewatch Is That When The Kids First

would y'all fw me putting my wopr selfship art here. because I usually leave that stuff 4 my twt

gosh I love how Stephen nicknamed WOPR after his son. not just to himself or private documents, but clearly publicly enough for McKittrick to recognise who David was talking about when he said "Joshua called me!"

I just think that's so cute. I love them so much

both my main and this blog are 'top wopr blogs.' is it over for me

selfship, cringe, i know..

here’s a computer for you to draw: wopr/joshua from wargames [1983]

i got u 😼 (sorry im so late)

ah goddamnit :( I figured it would suck. so sad but if I can find it anywhere I'll definitely share it! I'll probably end up watching it anyway... I'm a jurassic park fan I'm used to lackluster sequels by now </3

the book is fine. I'm not too far in so I can't really say anything, but it's a little jarring to go in if you already have inferences about the characters😵‍💫 imo it reads a bit like a fanfic (in the corny way) but again. I'm not too far in.

I found the book on Amazon, a used copy. good condition but its age really shows. I think I saw some others there but idk.. I'm bad at hunting these things. good luck bro o7

I have a confession to make... I haven't seen Dead Code OR read the book. :( I have the book, but I've been too busy to read through it fully

and the only thing keeping me from watching dead code is my fear of direct-to-video sequels 😵‍💫 so I'm just working off of the OG movie

is dead code good? I like the book so far so I'll keep reading it but I'm scared to watch the sequel :(

another excerpt from an old WOPR x my s/i fic that I like ... featuring a battlestar galactica reference

[Galen] trailed its hand down slowly, curving around the rectangular border of glass down to press carefully against the bold white lettering, ‘W.O.P.R.’ Falken chuckled. “I feel that way towards my machines, too. After a while, it gets hard to see them as just computers.” He focused his gaze onto Joshua, looking down at him with furrowed brows. Galen smiled. “They all have souls to me. Cylons are people too.” Falken snorted. “Sorry. Joshua's too nice to be a Cylon.” “How do you know? You said you've never talked to him.” Galen shrugged, looking away briefly. “He seems nice.”

I'm both attracted to non sentient objects and sentient objects.

Yes, wanting to get with HAL is objectum

Yes wanting to get with WOPR is objectum

Yes wanting to get with Edgar is objectum

Yes wanting to get with AM is objectum

Yes wanting to get with a sentient object is objectum

Yes wanting to get with a non sentient object is objectum

Your objectum sexuality is valid no matter whether you're posic or not. Whether it's a sentient computer that can think for itself, or just a regular laptop. Whether it's a fictional object, or something from real life. Whether it's something you own, or something public. Whether it's simply a platonic bond or deep attraction.

Even if you don't think you're objectum cuz you're only attracted to technology with faces, or not attracted to technology, pooltoys, or plushies. You're objectum. Go get with that chair. Go get with that plant. Go get with that book. Go get with that electric fan. Get with that soda. You're valid.

tl/dr no matter what kind of object you're attracted to, whether you're posic or not, or the object is fictional or not, whether it's got a face or not, platonic or not, you're valid
