I decided 35 years ago that if I lost my arm that I was gonna get a metal one, maybe with a built in ratchet set.

We all remember Metroid being a great example.
Only one right metal arm.
Hmm pretty sure they keep rightie so they can get tightie.
Lefty is gone on all of these characters.
A colleague has a badass metal arm and I can confirm that it's a great conversation starter.
On the flipside, though, I can only imagine that it wasn't easy to find a partner...
Came here to post my man Jett. TY for your service.
Luke had a pretty decent support system, despite some serious alienation issues to work through, so a hand and part of the forearm were sufficient.
Don't forget that one.
A badass metal arm and a robot cat? Chai is living the dream!
And his arm played guitar better then his meaty one did lol
Just finished Adventure Time for the first time. Finn's loss of his arm trying to connect with his selfish father and its replacement with a demon-laden version of himself followed by cold metal is a rich examination of the dehumanizing reduction of man to utility expanded upon by almost every other character (but particularly his disembodied mother). That said, Jake was totally his cure for male loneliness.
So either a cool robot arm or a cool magic dog
Finn got both tho

For some men, the loneliness runs deep. Get two just to be safe.
Is that a modern version of Jax?
It's MK11 art, modern yes but still 7 years ago (oh god)
Man. I got the first mk for Christmas. When it was new.
My local arcade brought in an MK2 machine and I swear I must have blown a year of allowance on it. Which retirement home are you leaning? I thought Palm Oaks looked nice
Well ... Good to know. Thank you for the answer.

Feels like a ridiculous additional if you've played the game
Liquid Ocelot: “Or just someone else’s arm.”
Ummm.... Then what's his excuse?
Well I mean you can't be lonely when your wife is always with you.
It didn't work for Peter Pettigrew.
Jaime Lannister!
Yes, especially if it makes you insane and starts talking to you, now you have a friend and aren't lonely!
