Anybody want to commiserate on something that sucks?

    Even non-CHUD bait historical inquiries don't bother me all that much if they serve the plot, it's just that the clear visual anachronism pisses me off. It'd be like a biopic of Lenin with a Ford F150 in the background.

      Good point. It's jarring seeing modern aesthetics in a historical setting. I had that with seeing bright colors or designs on clothing/armor

        Depending on the era, outright garish clothes with big codpieces and the like would actually be historically accurate compared to grimdark quasi-medieval aesthetics.

      The storming of the Winter Palace with a BattleTech Marauder in the background, an edit that accidentally got included in a textbook, was awesome at least.
