I'll start off by listing mine:

The T-800, Terminator 2: "I know now why you cry, but it's something that I can never do." Gets me every damn time.

ADA, Zone of the Enders: I think I'm the only one who played this game more than the MGS2 demo that came with it. I will never not laugh at the exchange of "You may speak like a human, but you're still a heartless computer, aren't you?" "That is correct. What is the problem?"

Codsworth, Fallout 4: He survives the nuclear holocaust despite not having a bunker and waits 200 years for you to come back. When you look at what changes his relationship with you, he mostly just wants you to be nice to people. I never swapped him out as my companion.

B.O.Y.D., Ducktales 2017: He's adorable. 'nuff said.

Does doctor Mobius from OWB count as a robot? Is he disqualified because of having a brain? Do then robobrains not count as robots? What are the definitions?! "Well, there's many things they have forgotten, sitting in their bowls. Friendship. The thrill of discovery. Love. Masturbation. The usual."

The PDA from Subnautica if it counts as an AI since it gives dynamic advice based on the planet's environment: "Detecting multiple leviathan class lifeforms in this biome. Are you sure whatever you are doing is worth it?"

Is Queen from Deltarune counted? Cause she goes hard. She's clearly mechanical, so I'm guessing she fits the bill. "Berdly... I only play mobile games." :queen-ohoho:

Also, it never says anything other than "Meow", but I can't help but love Kerfu~~s~~r in Voices of the Void, that silly goober is so helpful but also gets stuck on random fences and benches sometimes. "Miau!"

And of course Data, how could i not? :data-laughing: "Get off of there ya' little varmint!"

Every once in a while I’ll sit around blankly until “Lightners Love Traffic They Look It Up All The Time” crosses my mind again and I have to stifle my cackling
