Thoughts on Media: The Three-Body Problem
I recently delved into The Three-Body Problem and it’s been a transformative experience, pushing me into an existential reflection I hadn’t anticipated. The show’s premise, set against the backdrop of cosmic vastness and the relentless march of scientific progress, struck a chord that resonates deeply. A Universe Teeming with Life and Paradox:One of the most compelling aspects of The Three-Body…

The Murderbot TV show is finally here!
#murderbot diaries#murderbot#Ratthi#ayda mensah#arada#gurathin#digital art#When I made my last murderbot comic I didn't realize how close we were to season 1 starting.#I have yet to watch the new episodes so I cannot vouch for the quality - but I am still going to say 'hey watch this show!'#It's a fun sci-fi about a robot who was built to be a security guard and just wants to watch TV.#It is powered by anxiety and depression and struggles to understand it's place in the world.#Which is to say it is a deeply relatable character.#It is also a great narrative about how much stronger we are when we are not alone.#Give it a try if you haven't already! The books are novella length and the audiobook is only a few hours long.#EDIT: if you saw this before I adjusted the colours - no you didn't.#I need a new laptop badly...my current one is incapable of seeing purple or yellow.#EDIT 2: If you saw this with the typo...I'm so sorry. And no you didn't.

It's "Superman has always been an immigrant" until being an immigrant is too politically charged in the american context and then suddenly it's "no, he's a good all american citizen" and "I don't think he's a part of the cultural moment".
#ramblings#just mad from the state of things and how some comic fans refuse to engage with reality on what these characters allegorize.#these narrative decisions aren't apolitical. u can't sci-fi explain your way out of what these things represent.#throws eggs at gunn

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
ERROR flashes on the screen, and I can’t help but laugh—dry, cracked, the kind of laugh that tastes like dust and regret. It’s almost funny—almost. Me, plugged into this glitching mess, thinking I still got a shot at keeping the chaos at bay. I’m strapped in, wires biting into my neck, tech humming like it believes in me more than I do myself. I’m supposed to be the damn firewall, the last line keeping this world from burnin' to the ground. But let’s be real—world’s already ashes, and I’m just a fucked-up relic they forgot to unplug. They called me their damn protector, like I was something more than a jacked-up piece of meat strapped to a bunch of outdated hardware. But you can’t save a world that’s already flatlined. Online, I still feel like I’m somebody—I jack in, and it’s like I can almost remember who I used to be. But the second I go offline, it all fades. I’m just another ghost in this metal graveyard, clutching at memories that don’t even feel like mine anymore. The machines hum like they’re waiting for a command, but they know better than me. Ain’t no heroes left here, choom, just a bunch of broken lines of code waiting for the whole fuckin’ system to crash. I stare at the screens, the data rolling like a wave, and none of it makes sense anymore. Faces, numbers, alerts—just noise. Used to be, I thought I could make a difference. Now, I’m just runnin’ on borrowed time, patched together with spit and duct tape, clinging to a city that already forgot my name. And maybe that’s the punchline—ERROR flashing in my HUD, reminding me the real glitch ain’t in the system, it’s in me. When the lights go out for good, maybe, just maybe, I will too.

The System Rewards Introductions. Here's ours.
MENTARIS: STAY HUMAN A narrative RPG from QUEST LUDICA coming soon to Kickstarter.
The world didn’t end. It was reorganized. Every breath is measured. Every thought ranked. Obedience is rewarded. Deviance is erased.
You are not a chosen one. You are a risk factor.
This isn’t a setting of ancient prophecies. This is a world built on algorithmic control, faith collapse, and quiet rebellion. Every choice you make is noticed. Some get you erased. Others change everything.
We’re building something we haven’t seen before. Not a sandbox. A system. Designed to break you. Or prove you still exist.
Stay human. Stay unseen.

why the hell has no one been talking about the pantheon show on amc why the hell is there legitimately No Way to watch the show without pirating and again, to reiterate: WHY THE HELL HAS NO ONE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS SHOW!!!!
#some of the most grounded sci fi ive seen in so goddamn long it is Insane how well everything is written#im so incredibly shocked this isnt an immediate classic deemed by the majority of people- but it really seems like the majority of people#haven’t seen it or even heard of it really#i implore everyone to please PLEASE take a chance on this show#the ideas and how it executes them.. the way everything is so tied to religion and gods and humans and its philosophical questions#and how it works with the nature of its sci fi narrative and theming…. granted it has its flaws (as does everything) but guys. guys.#its so thoughtful and well written and beautifully animated.. im so apalled this doesn’t have a big audience- or really Any audience..#because i havent seen anything on this show!!!!!!! people!!!!!! where are you!!!!!!#my thoughts#long winded rant but you get what i mean…#pantheon#pantheon amc

I find it interesting that your Superman design is just like the golden age design with some softer features and more realistic yet cartoony proportions. I'm not criticizing it, but I'm curious as to why that costume design in particular?
Yeah! It's really telling how beauty standards have changed from the golden age era! So technically the accurate strongman body type for Superman has a basis in comics canon. As for the costume design?
I just like the Fleischer design a whole lot! It's got a classic look that is so pleasing to me, even when I understand why modern interpretations of Supes consolidate to yellow and red for his logo simplicity-wise. I also want my version to call back to Smashes the Klan's design (in turn, borrowing from Fleischer). I really like it when fans clock that my version of Superman is meant to be a continuation of the themes Smashes the Klan set up.
#askjesncin#and of course the narrative reasoning behind why the “S” looks like the way it does in Smashes the Klan speaks to me deeply#in a way other designs that try to sci-fi alienify his design don't get in my opinion! he wants to assimilate and be respectable#it's a journey for him to unlearn that

Swen saying that Larian is thinking about using AI tools to flag potential plot holes for writers is very amusing, maybe they'll use them to figure out when writers forgot about a character entirely 🤔
#*cough wyll cough*#tbh i do like the point he made about AI doing the grunt work/little things so writers/devs/animators can focus on what they like#and flagging potential plot holes is actually a good idea when you consider how big these narratives can be#dont mind me im *cautiously* day dreaming of a Larian sci-fi rpg or crpg

been reading a psalm for the wild-built and i rlly do enjoy when non-human characters choose to be referred to by it/its pronouns....thinking of murderbot, uriel from when the angels left the old country, etc
#adds some flavor. some extra spice if u will#cause tbh i love robots but older sci-fi (like 70s/80s) is such a hard sell cause why are we gendering these robots. theyre machines babe.#i mean its interesting to some degree if robots exist as a projection of gender roles but then like....#if the narrative isn't going to explore that concept and just presents it as oh yeah this is Boy robot and this is a Girl robot. im bored!#i think frankenstein's monster would also use it/its pronouns. in a more beautiful world#ely.txt
