it feels so much like he’s reaching for… something? from nerd culture and missing the mark so much it’s unrecognizable. my brain went to the old RedLetterMedia review where they kept pronouncing “geteven” as one word, but like… musk, buddy, you’re the one who insisted on naming it a robovan, this doesn’t work
and speaking of reaching for nerd culture and missing, “your own personal R2D2 C-3PO” is exactly how my mom would describe a robot after a bit too much wine, and it’s really embarrassing it’s this easy to pander to nerds
so much this when he said the "future should look like the future" and this art deco style roach rolls out
my first thought on seeing the robovan was that I better make sure I got all the plasmids I needed cause when I enter that Bioshock's definitely doing a level transition I can't come back from
