  • As a Star Wars fan, it’s a fun tongue-in-cheek joke/reference to The Clone Wars show and Dee Bradley Baker’s absolutely amazing performances as every single clone in that show.

    Other than that, I’ve seen it online as a sort of ironic/unironic “derogatory” term to refer to AI and things created by/with AI.

    I don’t think it could be classified as an actual insult until the day fully sentient AI is a thing and can think and have feelings for itself.

    I’ve been listening to the Halo 2 soundtrack (classic version) and it sounds very 2002-2003. Like you can hear the cheap early-2000s equipment and software that was used to make it.

    The drums in almost all the tracks really remind me of the old Jak, Tak, and even Crash soundtracks because of it. And it just takes me right back to my childhood playing games on an old box tv with nothing but those speakers.








  • The Cyberpunk 2077 announcement trailer was barely even a trailer. Just a moving jpeg of a woman with swords coming out of her arms.

    Elder Scrolls 6’s announcement trailer was literally just a super quick flyover of some landscape then a title card.

    Don’t suddenly start acting like it’s this huge problematic practice when it’s literally how every piece of media uses announcement trailers - hell, even books will have announcement trailers extremely similar in style to this.







  • I really liked the Fear Itself comic from Marvel about 10-15ish years ago. It’s just a big dumb blockbuster event that’s fun to read with all the craziness that happens.

    Odin has a long lost brother who’s evil, and creates magic hammers which he distributes around the world to a bunch of villains (and a couple heroes like Hulk and Thing) to bring chaos and destruction to herald his coming to take over the world. Iron Man and Captain America put up a “last stand” for Asgard, which crash-landed outside of a small town in Kansas. Iron Man goes to Odin’s dwarves and makes weapons and armor to give to a group of heroes to counteract the villains with their hammers.
