  • Schrodinger's remake. It is neither in production, nor canceled, until its release.

  • My voting disctrict in Omaha is megablue so it'll be a tough fight for them to get it back.

  • Is that... 5 AC10's in CT? Or a really weird looking RAC20?

  • I would suddenly feel very sad for the one of them that bottled it up for 40 years, and for the other who obviously has known for many of those years...

  • How about an awful shambling corpse of a book that's trying to extend the story from a satisfying ending because the publisher wants more books.

  • Other direction dude... 2nd dimension. Also that spoiler was for a reason.

  • You know that shit's gonna peel like a boiled egg

  • I regularly hallucinate my code. I don't see the problem here /s

  • Read the book please... The trillogy* is on Audible. Some truly terrifying stuff. Like, >!living in a dying universe that was once an infinite garden because of the dark forest attacks that flattened spacetime into fewer dimensions, which could happen again.!<

    *the last book (or some 4th book, I forgot) isn't written by Chixen Liu, but they liked it so much they wrote off on publishing it in the series as a means to wrap up some critical questions.

  • Russia is still feeling the effects of the cold war brain drain that hasn't helped by their less than inviting prospects for the return of expensive, specialized talent. They will just wind up BEING chinese products, carefully and cleverly rebranded and channeled through government-approved "assembled in motherland" companies in Russia that chinese firms will only happen to have a majority stake in.

  • Underlegislation leads to a bloated, extortionate upper crust that weilds disproportionate power over those who rely on said financial system. There is a balance, and the problem you outline is the lesser of the two extremes.

  • Helldivers 2 is 25-35 on medium and smooth. Very little stuttering.

  • That mentality is surely broader than fascism itself. You see it in any hypernationalist state. Rome had "the barbarians." The British Empire had "the savages." Nazi Germany had "the jews." There is always an "other" when the state needs it. Unless you're painting a broader form of fascism, perhaps.

  • How're the kids?

  • Well, when IQ was invented, it was assumed that well-adjusted people generally had higher IQs, and since there -are- people with incredably inhibited mental capability, and those people -are- considered neurodivergent by definition, it was assumed that high functioning neurodivergent people must also be "mentally deficient" if they can't function properly in society, with some exceptions to savants who were recognized as being so highly capable in their field that it compensated for their "stupidity" in common matters. It's also noteworthy that public understanding of mental health disorders pre-80's boiled down to "r****d" and "schizo."

  • That's what you're hung up on? There's a whole subgenre of sharks with tits.

  • There's an art to it. I've read books where the villain wins only for it to be revealed that the protagonist was fighting for the wrong side. The only one who's title comes to mind is Columbus Day, where humans team up with aliens to fight other aliens that invade earth, only to realize that they joined the "fascist-leaning" side of the conflict as a species-wide pawn.

  • Let's take a page from Helldivers and call it "Managed Capitalism." Surely far better than rootstock /s

    Does anyone know any Hard Sci Fi books about humans surviving without any hospitable worlds?

    I'm looking to get inspiration for my own writing. I need a hard sci fi series where earth (and earthlike worlds) are too rare, inaccessible, and/or previously spoiled beyond ability to sustain life. Bonus points if it is set on a multi-generational space station or starship without any other options and goes into detail about life support, living space, mineral mining and expansion of the station to accomodate a growing population, and daily life of it's residents.

    If anyone remembers Drifter Colonies from Titan A.E., that's what's in my head.

    I'm looking for The Martian levels of realism, and I'm fine with a bit of "Unobtanium" clichés if they're not core to the story.

    Drafting up a fermi-friendly sci fi world. Help me bounce ideas off of you.

    I have had an idea for a sci fi series that's based around "drifter colonies" from my favorite movie, Titan A.E. Though, notably, this universe will have no (known) aliens, and humanity, forced into a mass exodus from a dying earth, take all that they can carry into the stars, welding their aging hulls together into cities that orbit uninhabitable, but stable exoplanets.

    The exodus took less than 1% of all humanity from the apocalypse, but all who escaped were in debt to the corporations who undertook the rushed flight from Earth, a debt so large that one's wealth is measured by how low one's inherrited debt is (it suspiciously never goes into the black for anyone but the most loyal of corpo servants). Debt is split (with interest) to all your children, so having 3 or 4 children is common, and colonies are overcrowded.

    All wealth is held by corporations, each of which has its own star system(s) and cluster of colony cities. These systems are connected by a Gravity-Pulse-Conveyor netw
