Clearly a tank
According to the documentary Futurama it is a tank with crab legs!
And ice cream is just a byproduct
Was genuinely fun to drive and use on Assassin’s Creed.
It must have been one of the Ezio ones, right? I do not recall this machine from the games.
Given a translator, can you even imagine Leonardo da Vinci and Hideo Kojima in a room together?
A weapon to surpass Metal Gear…
Second floor basement?!?!!
Surpass metal gear?
No, because Da Vinci died in 1519, whereas Kojima was born in 1963.
Yeah, hence “a translator”. You didn’t think I meant from Renaissance-era Italian to modern Japanese, did you? No one person could probably do that. I meant a translator from this plane to the next.
My dude the other guy was being facetious…
So was I. “Yes, and”, as we say in improv. (I’ve never done improv.)
Yes and me either
Welcome back Da Vinci
Stupid is what it is, there isn’t enough room for ammo or to physically reload all those cannons. what a rube
Not to mention theres no way like 5-6 dudes could maneuver that around when it’s got 40 cannons on it, never mind the ammo too
“Sorry I couldn’t work on your commission, I was busy trying to land a job with the Duke”

How are the hair spring driven robots more efficient than one big hairspring to drive this thing??

DaVinci needs to take a class on physics.

The machina magnifica!

No don’t do this. You’re giving gaijin ideas.

It’ll be the next tank on Warthunder, under the Italian tech tree.

Might make a fun Christmas event

Wild, I watched my wife playing assassins creed last night while holding the baby, this machine was in the game

Never seen it before and now twice in a row.

Damn Baader-Meinhof

Probably never see it again either
I’ve seen this thing at least 500 times in my life, not sure how folks haven’t seen it as many times. Did you all not spend hours pouring over Da Vinci’s drawings as a kid? As a teen? As a young adult? Yesterday?

Nah, but i did buy a cool book you might be interested in if you like that kind of thing.

The books all illustrated on different survival things.

I bought it and inscribed it for my son hoping he learns from it but never needs it.

I’m sorry for your loss
My loss?
Your son with so much promise that no longer needs to survive, my condolences
Maybe you should help her with the baby so she can game.
ahhh sheet hahaha

Nah if i hold the baby while she games it’s to easy for her, she needs an extra difficulty level /s

I was holding the baby. Probably could have worded it better

That’s acrobatic level of gaming but I guess ass ass creed these days plays probably like a Toys R us

It is usually what she’s doing when i get home from work. As for the decline of AC this is a 360 one she’s playing, I beleive brotherhood.

Still very average games in my opinion but she loves them and I enjoy watching her play as she rolls into the missions saying “ohh I remember this, I hated this”

Juggling the boy while gaming until I have a shower and take him so she can rest.

I just for flashbacks, it’s actually not that hard when they’re tiny. Enjoy these times and hope your boy stays safe
I like how this ended out, though… Well played
And if they listen to him then we could have started air travel early and had a moon base by now.
Nah, moon dust is radioactive. Place isnt that nice.
Now we know what a spinny tank is for, a radioactive moon dust displacer.
I love he was inventive enough to design a tank a couple centuries before anyone actually built on, but couldn’t piece together a better idea for aiming in any direction than “cannons pointed in every conceivable direction.”
Why shoot at ome target when you can shoot at 30? (as long as they’re evenly encircling the machine)
They used muzzle loaded cannons at his time, so it makes sense. It’s not only for direction, but for faster rate of fire.

I guess that’s how ship cannons worked at the time. Powerful but heavy to move, slow to reload, not very accurate… more of them would give you the only way to have sustained firepower.

But Leonardo also left a lot of these sketches that look less like actual projects and more like the superhero fantasies of an extremely gifted six years old. “And look, this shit has cannons… Cannons EVERYWHERE! Bam! Kapow!”. I guess it’s what happens when your so great at drawing that even the doodles you do when bored look like masterpieces.

Old man Da Vinci furiously scribbling while also delivering the overexcited stream-of-consciousness babble of a little kid with his favorite thing
Da Vinci definitely would have played Orkz.
he invented an airplane that did not work
Dude definitely needed adderall
If only we could have gotten Da Vinci and the Hussites together in order to build a wooden mech covered in cannons.
Best i cam do is an orange shit and his goons threatening immigrants and kids.
Yeah, he designed these things for Sforza because designing war machines pays money.
Thank you now I understand I thought he liked slaughter?
Its possible he did. People had different sensibilities 500 years ago.
Un Thank you then now we don’t know again
Not a problem. I’m here to help and offer more ambiguity any time you need it. Just DM me.
Her smile could mean good they are getting slaughtered nobody can know yet

WRONG, DUM DUM (assuming for the moment the intentional fallacy doesn’t exist)

“Men fight wars and destroy everything around them. The earth should open and swallow them up. He who does not value life does not deserve it. Never destroy another life through rage, or through malice.” -Da Vinci in his personal notes

War. War never changes.

(Walks into the diatance)

It’s a panzer.
