I want all my tech to be some cyberdeck cassette-futurism bullshit where, if I were inclined, I could rig up some generalized I/O port to spit out 1s and 0s to whatever. I don't want sleek, I want 12 hour battery life at full load and also I can use it to beat somebody up

That reminds me of those huge flashlights that took six D batteries and you could club a rabid deer. I would love love love my tech to withstand such forces.

The old maglites. Those were so much fun when I was a little kid. The batteries felt like they lasted 30 minutes before they died though

If we're being honest, the flashlight felt like a secondary feature sicko-zoomer
