Here are just three of my favorite Tech screenshots from season 1:

^😍😍😍😍😍

And then there are these:

^If you aren't gritting your teeth, are you really flying? (this screenshot isn't cropped, by the way, it's the full frame)

^"Yes, speak your mind, Echo. I shall back you up with my Unimpressed Stare™️."

^"Echo and Hunter have The Glower™️ down to a science. Meanwhile, I (as noted above) find my Unimpressed Stare™️ to be most effective."

Sometimes, screenshots are an excellent way to admire the animation/design as well as capture nuances in expression and background details that provide additional context to the story. Other times, especially when captured in the middle of a character delivering dialogue and subsequently taken on their own out of context, the interpretations can be hilarious. Example:

^What it looks like: "Hey, babe, got plans later?" What's actually happening: Tech is in the middle of glibly roasting Hera with sarcasm - "Yes, your dangerous and uncontrolled maneuvering is as confusing to them as it is to us."

Sims 4: Tech's Armor S1

The long awaited, everyone's beloved nerd! Tech has joined the gang and as of today can proudly present his S1 kit in your game.

While his tools may seem to animate silly and in defiance of gravity, technically 🤓 it's only lore-accurate, and I definitely did a better job on the rerebraces. Also gotta love modelling and putting weight to all of his pouches... 💀

Base game compatible. Custom icons. Helmet supports glasses, to allow the use of my previously made goggles. Armor found under jumpsuits, for helmet check brimless hats. Batuu enabled.

That being said, the original squad's ready. Now they need a mom...

Honestly WTAF happened with this.

TBB has this really great thread right from the pilot about clones and inhibitor chips, where we start with our protagonists split apart by being resistant to the chips against the backdrop of the "programmed" Regs, except the one who struggles against it until Tarkin has it jacked up into "go murder them" mode-

And then Rex gives them this perspective of how impossible they are to fight, even he couldn't resist-

And then we see Howzer not only come around on what's right vs following orders but refusing to run, holding out hope for his squad to break free too and do what's right-

To Gregor who is just done and deserted-

To the whiplash of the s1 finale where we get Crosshair. No chip anymore, but I'm a soldier, I'm loyal, I follow orders, I made my decision where then in season 2...

The underground is growing, more are walking away.

We get the fucked around and finding out perspective as the clones around Crosshair "keep disappearing." Cody drops some cold truths on his way out the door. Perhaps made even colder by presumably not knowing that whatever haunts him (we know) wasn't truly his decision at all.

Mayday the last straw, he held out and kept serving but for what?

We open season 3 on "not every clone is your ally" with Omega, the hints of Emerie's plight. And the later e6 warning that some clones on Tantiss are still loyal to the Empire. But Rex is still compassionate- doesn't know what the shadow is but knows something has gone very wrong. He's killed his men but Rex wants to find a way to help him.

And then they do this wild thing where -

They drop the thread completely, the ones who are still loyal at this point are beyond hope, the ones who are brainwashed victims are so over the top that you'd forget they're clones at all if they hadn't shown the one lose his helmet, it takes Emerie realizing there's kids in the basement to have second thoughts about experiments and torture on prisoner clones, and the commandos never serve any deeper purpose.
