I'm currently playing Mechwarrior 5 Mercenaries and am quite happy with my 75 ton Black Knight. It's armor alone has a few hundred hit points. And it can step on tanks. Why waste good ammo on them?
Still, it's only a matter of time before I scrape a Marauder [^] off the battlefield, even if I have to scrap it myself first. I always had a Marauder, beginning with Mechwarrior 1.

These types of mechanized exoskeletons have become a lot more believable since Boston Dynamics perfected walking robots.

Not really, at least not the huge versions that can step on tanks. For the same reasons why a flea can jump a few thousand times its size while an elephant can't jump at all. It's the inverse cube law- Double something in size and its mass increases eight times. An elephant sized flea could not jump a few miles.
Without some Unobtanium[^] such devices or movie giant monsters will never exist in this universe.

The shows in the real robot genre are at least a bit more plausible, like Patlabor.
Or Fang of the Sun Dougram, where they paid some attention to terrain and tactics. For instance, a 2-legged mech isn't very useful on sand dunes.

I was going for a construction site pun, but ... I'm still working on it.

Made me think of the constipated accountant who worked it out with a pencil.
It was only in wine that he laid down no limit for himself, but he did not allow himself to be confused by it.

Just looking at the demos and came across:
function Account:withdraw (v)
if v > self.balance then error("insufficient funds on account "..self.name)
end
self.balance = self.balance - v
end

I assume you picked that one on purpose.
OOP support is not where Lua really shines, I know.
