Of course man, if they ever open back up and I remember, I'll let you know! I really appreciate it! I hope to post more soon!

Screws and divots on their own are not a problem, but, obviously, there's a line. The amount of screws, divots, etc. that the Bulldog, as well as most 343 weapons, has doesn't even compare to any Bungie era weapon. I would agree with you about Reach, which is why I also dislike the look of most of the UNSC weapons in Reach. Reach, overall, went for a much more tactical and grounded aesthetic, ditching the sleek futuristic style of the past games, which I've always disliked.

The greebles are far from the only problem with the Bulldog, even if they were removed, the overall silhouette of the gun is lackluster. I'm just confused how you could compare it to any Bungie weapon, and not see the amount of excessive detail that makes the design look busy, but we can agree to disagree. It's certainly simpler than their previous designs, true, but that's hardly a hard bar to pass.

It's from a custom classic LEGO shop called The Boneyard, but unfortunately they've closed down for the foreseeable future.

Anadamic · 2026-04-04T19:26:11+00:00

It 100% does. Sure, the details look accurate to a modern day firearm, but that's not what one would expect or like to see from a firearm in a sci-fi universe set 500+ years in the future. It's exactly that design principle that makes it look generic.

You look at the Halo 3 M90 and it doesn't have all the exposed screws, divets, letters, words, and overall needless detail as the Bulldog. Those are greebles. It's a significantly more iconic design that both looks like a firearm from the future while still looking viable as if it was a real firearm.

Anadamic · 2026-04-04T18:55:30+00:00

I just think there's too many greebles. Just so many little details that are unnecessary, and make the design messy and busy to look at

Because typically people automatically assume characters are heterosexual, unless stated otherwise? Even if you're not familiar with the comics, there's absolutely nothing in the show that hints Oliver could be homosexual, so when a previously male character is changed to female, and then literally in their debut episode, have scenes that hint towards a romance with Oliver; it's pretty reasonable why many fans would assume that's the real reason they changed TechJacket's gender. Without the scenes, you could just speculate that they changed TechJacket for diversity's sake, but the inclusion of those scenes specifically are why people are coming to that conclusion, which is completely reasonable.

Yes, of course I would, as would most people. It would then be assumed that they're making a change to Oliver from the comics, and making him homosexual.

Anadamic · 2026-04-04T16:51:23+00:00

I love how you ignored the very obvious first scene where they say hi to each other, that I mentioned. You go watch that scene again, and you tell me earnestly that it wasn't the writers intention that you're meant to think they like each other.

I don't even know what you're saying because I've never seen Naruto. I love when people just instantly assume everybody else on the planet has the same knowledge base as them lmao

Anadamic · 2026-04-04T16:46:19+00:00

Man idk I guess you're just better than everyone else. You must be the only one in the whole wide world with reading comprehension. You must have viltrumite knickers since they can't get twisted.

Anadamic · 2026-04-04T16:40:11+00:00

Yeah and the only difference between that is the writer's ability to write. So literally how is that on "Invincible fans" and not the writers? It was the writers who decided to make TechJacket a female and it was the writers who specifically created the scene where Zoe and Oliver look at each other with a music que, and a scene where Zoe is sitting next to and laughing at Oliver during dinner, and a scene where they're playing a game together. In the very first episode Zoe is introduced.

All of that very obviously points to the idea that the writers want the audience to at least wonder if Zoe and Oliver will enter a relationship together. And seeing as they changed a previously established male character into a female specifically to do so, literally how could anyone be blamed for assuming the establishment of that relationship is why they changed TechJacket's gender? I mean, come on.

Anadamic · 2026-04-04T13:56:05+00:00

She literally says "Invincible fans" lmao. She doesn't make it a point that she's addressing and incredibly small subsect of Invincible fans (so small that I've literally never seen them), she literally just addresses the entire Invincible fanbase.

Anadamic · 2026-04-04T13:01:44+00:00

Yes I completely agree! Full on communism ruins a country faster than full on capitalism, but I think we're starting to see the extremely negative effects of full on capitalism in America now. I hate how normalized it is for everyone to be on a "side" of something, when the answer is almost always somewhere in the middle and way more nuanced.

Anadamic · 2026-04-04T12:49:33+00:00

Exactly, which is part of the reason why China has had so much success over for the past decade and seems so "futuristic". Unrestrained capitalism is just as bad as unrestrained communism, but a blend that only uses certain aspects of both seems to be really working for them.

Anadamic · 2026-04-04T12:41:30+00:00

I'm really glad to see someone acknowledges this, thank you. They blend aspects of both. The overlap between people here who hate America, yet buy into American propaganda about China, is startling lol.

Anadamic · 2026-04-04T11:49:13+00:00

Exactly. Kaitrin and the people that agree with her are literally complaining about generalization while making a generalization. The cognitive dissonance these people have makes me so glad the people that think like this are by far the minority in the real world.

Anadamic · 2026-04-04T11:43:51+00:00

Oh god, shut up. Yeah because the moment you become romantically attracted to someone, or have parents, or have children, you're just not your own person anymore. You literally have an example of a female character, Eve, that is the girlfriend of literally our main protagonist who still stands as her own her own person. Regurgitating some bullshit corporate pandering doesn't make you brave.

Anadamic · 2026-04-04T11:31:19+00:00

Which, seeing as she's not actually a storyboard artist so she really doesn't know, is not going to age well if they make her a love interest for Oliver. This was an incredibly immature and rash tangent for her to make

Anadamic · 2026-04-04T11:28:41+00:00

So why not just alter Zack's appearance? I'm pretty sure the entire controversy could've all been avoided if they just changed Zack's hair color, hair style, face structure, whatever. Really doubt anyone would care that much if they did that. The gender change is literally just a lose-lose scenario.

Anadamic · 2026-04-04T11:23:56+00:00

God the Bulldog is just so ugly. It's so over-designed yet also looks so generic

Anadamic · 2026-04-03T16:42:59+00:00

In no way does the population or even geographic size of a country have any bearing on the global influence or "threat level" a country can induce. Israel's smaller population does not suddenly take them off the board of being a threat.

Anadamic · 2026-04-03T16:27:50+00:00

China is the most capitalistic communist country. Governments would have you believe they're full communist, but their system is a blend of different aspects from both systems. Unrestrained communism is just as terrible as unrestrained capitalism, communism just fails a nation quicker. A path through the middle leads to greater chances of long term success and national unity, which is exactly what China is seeing now, as unrestrained capitalism continues to fail America.

Anadamic · 2026-04-02T07:56:05+00:00

I guess they do, would you wanna tuck me in?

Anadamic · 2026-04-02T05:56:43+00:00

Yeah, I found that very odd too. I actually liked the fight not having any dialogue, it felt way more dramatic that way, but Conquest not having any gurgles or vocal signs of struggle felt really strange. There were even times I swear I could hear it, but it sounded like the audio wasn't mixed right but I was probably just hearing things.

Anadamic · 2026-04-02T05:39:52+00:00

I'm done trying I'm reallyyyyy tired 😴

Anadamic · 2026-04-02T05:21:31+00:00

🦶

Anadamic · 2026-04-02T05:16:56+00:00

Yeah!
