Year after year I have to keep getting told (previously in person, now by computer touchers online, including here) how this is "changing everything" and "things are about to get really interesting" in smug pretentiously prophetic tones.

Yeah it's changing everything all right, but in pretty much all bad ways that are burning the planet down even faster and those thinly masked cravings for a holo-waifu that unconditionally loves them are a poor justification for this shit.
