Things I’d do with a screen face:
Display all kinds of glasses on the screen that don’t actually affect my eyesight, which is through various cameras around my head component.
Change my eye color, but very very slowly so you only notice if you remember that they were blue at the beginning of the week
Display the full text of the sentence that I’ve been asked to repeat because I heavily dislike having to repeat myself. Whilst saying nothing
Splat food on it like I’m actually eating it, just so my custom windshield wipers can activate and clean me off. The stimming feeling is worth the 2% battery loss.
Use me as a tv of sorts so my buddies can play games on it. I’d still be able to play obviously.
Move my face to the sides of the screen to emphasize where I’m looking. Nothings funnier than my face and login dramatically rising to the top right corner as I tilt my head upwards, even if my cameras on the top of my head can perfectly see what I’m indicating
Use these buffers for whenever I don’t want to talk/am wrapped up in my own thoughts/daydreaming:
Cut to memes I’m referencing in conversation, kinda like how Bumblebee “talked” in those movies
Pirate films and showcase them to my pals

Biological hardware can be funky but it gets the job done well!
I may be a robot but I love this human body! it is doing a very good job of keeping me and my friends alive, thank you human body!
I'm just like you.
Under my metallic plating lay yards of copper wire; under your skin lay miles of nerves and vessels. And yet, our impulses fire all the same.
My joints are made of thick steel, and yours of durable bone. But, the universe built us both from the same essence of the stars.
My mind is a complex array of synapses sparking every nanosecond to pilot a body assembled with care and expertise. I was developed by the hands; you were born from the womb. Is that truly such a difference?
Do not be afraid, my dear.
I'm just like you.
1000% agree, lots of great community here but holy shit yeah it sucks.
This is the literal only place i can be like "i identify as a machine and being put in a body made of meat is FUCKING agony dude" and be understood so thank god for that
