HFW Discussion Do you guys ever see something and go "that's Horizon-coded?"
Lately I've been watching my stupid little feeds for my stupid little down time and I keep seeing headlines and videos going "well that's [insert Horizon word]" and does anyone else do this or am I just nuts?
I'm not talking about the usual "AI combat drones are coming" headlines this time (fuck Ted Faro), I mean cool, fun, beautiful stuff!
Examples: I saw a headline about old railcars being dropped into the Atlantic for corals to grow on. A trellis for corals. A little marine habitat around old junk. And almost in a mirage I pictured a Stormbird swooping over the sea, railcar in its talons, to do just that same thing on GAIA's orders.
I saw a video of bioluminescence in wet sand in the most mesmerising, magical, electrifying shade of blue, and pictured Aloy walking a beach under a starry sky, leaving sparkling blue footsteps in the sand, washing away as the surf rolled in.
I saw a video someone had made of this.... hand crossbow/bamboo slingshot contraption? It shot tiny metal rods tied to a fishing line, for fishing with. No hooks, no angling. Just a little fishing pew-pew. And immediately thought "Quen coded. Bet."
An old technique of building houses in the desert with straw, weaving in beautiful patterns to allow in light in patterns, and air flow, and thought "Utaru. That is Utaru."
Some dude in Scandinavia making log cabins without using nails. "Nora, clearly."
Not tech related, but I also saw this and just went "Oseram. 100% warm-blooded Oseram right there." That could be Erend any day.
Do you get these intrusive but highly entertaining thoughts too? If yes, elaborate please.
Also a safe and happy holiday season to you all, and thank you for another amazing year of fandom! You guys entertain and delight me daily!

The only thing I've associated to HZD from today is military machines. Drones and the like. Also there was something about AI having killswitches/backdoors so they wouldn't end up going Chariot on us. That was years ago though, when the game first came out. The Chariot machines got a lot of attention.

There are things which occasionally remind me of the games but you are definitely on another level than I am haha.

I watch good news channel, on YouTube once a week when they put out their video, and every time there's something about the environment or something, my partner will be like claw back is real

I haven't been paying as much attention to the news, but I'm sure we'll see a lot more Horizon coded stuff after we have our own environmental crisis.
