IT”S GOING TO KILL US ALL!!!
When? It’s been working for like a month now.
sweet, sweet engineering
the universe considers this thing Abomination and it will never work
Been working for close to a month now. :3

thing is, most of these parts are custom made because this is the only machine that will ever require them. so some shoddiness is due to cost reduction in hand manufacturing it all.
This machine does nothing.
