Your machine god likes fancy shoes ๐Ÿ˜‚ Embarrassing.

The generic suits depicted are sacrificial "meat candles". They do what they sound like, and everyone knows shoes just kinda get in the way and slow things down. Simple as. Power don't flow the same without a few of these suits startin to sizzle just right, oughta have yer meat candles primed before ya start 'er up.

Fancy shoes! The things ya read on the Internet, by golly.
