It’s weird to me that New-U stations are widely considered non-canon and just something to function as an in-game mechanic, to the point the creators themselves have said that’s how it works. But then you just have the Quick Change stations still there ?? And somehow existing in this awkward ass spot of “technically canon to some degree given the characters acknowledge its existence, but not really” ? And the way it works is a little nebulous to me also.
The advert on the machine implies there may be significant side effects to using the tech (“Injuries / Big feet, loss of eyes and multiple head syndrome”), but you never see anybody who has used it to know if that’s true. The most that anyone says after you use it is Claptrap commenting on your appearance if he’s nearby, and In New Tales when Lor says that he could’ve used one to transition (but that he didn’t because he still needed to figure himself out)…and that’s like the only other time it’s ever brought up to my knowledge. Also who makes these things and then leaves them around. “G⚡️C industries” Gearbox what does that even mean . Gearbox is it another mechanic or is it a canon thing PLEASE ELABORATE ON THE THINGS YOU PUT IN YOUR GAME THE AUTISTICS ARE DYING HERE.
