  • I mean, even as someone who isn’t really a fan of Borderlands, this feels immediately different in tone, and the actors all look cheap and out of place. The aethetic (esspecially in contrast to the games) kind-of reminds me of old 80s/90s direct to VHS movies where it was made by a small studio trying to make something completely out of scope, and of the writing shown, it seems slower, shallower (even by Borderlands’s low standards) and more sanitized. Borderlands doesn’t set a high bar, but this seems like it’ll struggle to meet even that.








  • The term was invented and popularized by file-sharers whose copyright indifference was frequently termed “stealing” - when it has little in common with theft of a physical object.

    I could be wrong, but I thought the modern use of the term was coined and mostly popularized by Brady Haran (of Numberphile) and other YouTube creators, primarily using it to describe news sites taking and re-uploading their content. Still not usually claiming ownership, though.
