Dan and Mark dive into a spirited discussion on AI cosplay ideologies and what they mean for makers who still love building by hand. From there, they get nerdy about Halo ODST gear breaking down buckles, straps, fasteners, and all the gritty, practical details that make sci-fi builds actually work. It's all about keeping cosplay tactile.
