@Cyborgneticz this did not stop a number of my teachers in high school
@ljwrites @technomancy if yr queer & u game it counts in my book
@ljwrites yeah i think you also mentioned the ‘pull the rope’ scene in the volcano, which i think was what clued me into the fact that she’s actually nonverbal
It’s such a nice little accommodation moment
re: Long, scifi
@aescling oh yeah thats exactly what they’re doing — this is from a section titled ‘why i didn’t describe the flying cars’ or something like that
And some of their reasons were good (use peoples imaginations in your favor, etc) but this one just had me going ughhhh you’re taking all the fun out of it
Alc, silliness, food
@hafnia@weirder.earth 😆
I feel like flowers or a nice chocolate box are usually safe choices
@tozka rude of the devs :(
Long, scifi
@darkmirror i hope they’d developed some effective methods of shielding / treating radiation for that first one 😆
And that sounds like an evocative metaphor!
Long, scifi
@tozka yeah same! It’s always way more interesting to me than generic worldbuilding
Long, scifi
« Another thing which makes this worse is that our science changes over time. If I did the best possible research on what we right now think would be the best shape for a superfast flying thing (based on the Blackbird perhaps?), nonetheless ten years from now we might do other research and discover a new shape is better, and using that shape would come across as wrong and super dated. To give a real example though I forget what story it was, there’s an SF story set in the future where an explorer entering a derelict spaceship pulls out her cell phone and turns the screen white so she can see by its light–instantly dates it to the brief phase when phones didn’t have flashlights, and feels distracting. If it just said “She shone a light” it wouldn’t be distracting at all, it would always feel correct no matter how much tech changes.» from https://www.exurbe.com/terra-ignota-ama-questions-craft-of-writing-performer-casting/
I find it really interesting that the author thinks this is bad instead of one of my favorite things about reading older scifi. Everyone’s taste is different I guess??
@hafnia@weirder.earth nice!
There are a lot of people in my neighborhood who are dedicated to making sure the feral cats get neutered & vaccinated which is fortunate bc there are also a *lot* of people who dump unwanted cats into our neighborhood
@cassolotl@queer.party aren’t axolotls already perma-babies?
