      No. That is just wartime PPE

      Now, when that becomes standard attire for cybertruck owners? THAT is when we enter a dystopia.

        It’s a very dystopian aesthetic, though. The right mixture of ‘crude’ and ‘industrial’.

          The design is very human.

      Very dieselpunk. WW1 was wild.

    WW1 was supposed to be The Last War, shame they made it a sequel

      A metal mask will probably be better than no metal mask. Almost surely for the eyes.
