So Big Boss had a thing called an iDroid in the 80s, named in reference to the iPhone as a way to signal that it’s a bit of videogame sci-fi anachronism

but also what is the iDroid named after in-universe? The i on the Apple products stands for internet. It’s 1984, there’s no internet.

On the train. I am the only person with a book. Even the old biddies are on their phones. What a dreadful old anachronism I am.

(Obviously I mean to go being so.)

I'm watching this Anime Lockdown panel about translation and I've never really thought about how anachronistic it is that so many anime fantasy shows use English loanwords and now it's probably going to break my brain every time it pops up in something for the next month.
