So if everything looks like it's in slow motion, that's because I recorded the footage at 60FPS while the video encoded at 30. I didn't realize this until after I had already finished, and it does give the action a kind of dreamlike quality, so I decided to keep it. Probably should've cut the loading screens though.

Anywho, this video is mostly about my love of the Machine Cult trope. Stuff like the Brotherhood of Steel or Adeptus Mechanus where whole religions get built around technology we no longer understand. Partly because i think they're Aescetically cool, but also because they're the most outlandishly take on a plausible future.

Like, I doubt we'll start worshiping Financial AI in a decade, but we a hurtling at light-speed towards a point where things like the Stock Market to Social Services will be managed by algorithms in perpetual potion.
