Oh, you're not wrong! On the other hand, seeing what they'd do with the Kandyman could be fascinating, among many other things. Maybe they keep the color on things like that dude?

"How do bombs fall in space when there's no gravity?" to footage of the TIE Bombers attacking an asteroid.

Oh, absolutely. Which, of course, also isn't the first time the rebellion has had to improvise (looking at you, snowspeeders lmao).
comment in response to
post
Which, by way of weird tangent, reminds me of the fact that The Happiness Patrol (Doctor Who S25E2), while shot in color, was originally intended to be done in B&W to suit the atmosphere (and budget, presumably lol). And I'd love to see how they would've done that, frankly.

They were a really cool throwback to the sort of WW2 movie tropes that inspired a lot of starfighter combat. Are they practical? Well, was the B17 practical? Or maybe the Lanc?

That's fair. We tend to lean more towards calling ourselves voidpunk, but yeh.

Well, what falls under therian, anyway? Our understanding was that it mostly includes, well, animals etc, no? In which case, we, for example, aren't therian because we're robot(s).

While also making pay and benefits for soldiers far worse. Because we all know that forcing mistreated soldiers to do something they don't particularly want to always ends well. Fragging? Never heard of it.

Well, comorbidity generally refers to diagnosis rates. It's practically a given that it's higher, quite frankly.
comment in response to
post
Yeah, there's something like an 80% comorbidiy between autism and ADHD, last we checked? It's possible we're misremembering though.
comment in response to
post
Yeah, that's what we figure as well (although obviously a lot of the specific symptoms also have overlap with autism, which we *definitely* have). Diagnosis, though, remains unlikely, so yeah.
comment in response to
post
Oh, that probably factors into it for us as well, although we've never been diagnosed. But yeah, parsing what goes on in our head is difficult at the best of times.
comment in response to
post
Well, quite. Or, even if it doesn't look cool, if it's thematically fitting (I could see, for example, some archaeologist character having these). Because, well, half the point of making new characters for me is coming up with new interesting backstories and lore lmao.
comment in response to
post
In our case, it's definitely not empty either, but very much chaotic and messy. Which, in fairness, very much fits with us in general lmao.
comment in response to
post
Yeah. Like, at the least, having duplication would be harmless and be useful for people to not end up searching fruitlessly.
comment in response to
post
For clarity, since I have yet to get the rewards, no idea what they look like, but the theming is apparently based on the Devil's Heart stolen from the Iconian Alliance (mentioned in one of the loreblogs), and that seems cool. Apparently also half-decent metawise, but I don't care about that much.
comment in response to
post
Ah, the problems of questionable UI/UX design lmao. (nah, in a sense, having DM settings easily accessible when you're looking at DMs does make sense, but yeah)
comment in response to
post
Looks like the options are DMs closed, people you follow, or everyone. There should be a gear icon in the DMs page.
comment in response to
post
Yeah, sadly, the pace of new missions has noticeably gone down. Understandable given the transfer of who's developing it, and Axiom was of course an absolute masterclass, of course, but still.
comment in response to
post
The ongoing event that comes with that mini-episode does have some potentially cool rewards, but y'know.
comment in response to
post
Oh no, when I say recent, I mean earlier in the ongoing story arc. Specifically the borg implants are from Scorpion's Abyss (the one where you infiltrate a Mirror Borg unicomplex). The latest addition is a 'mini-episode' set not long after the last thing you played.
comment in response to
post
Yep. It's also one of those things where the level of caution depends on how well we know someone, tbh. But in general, yeah, it's always better not to risk overstepping, frankly.
comment in response to
post
Yes, well, we tend to be overly cautious a lot of the time.
comment in response to
post
'We can also understand why it would have so much difficulty focusing, given how good that looks'. Or something to that effect.
comment in response to
post
If you're curious, here she is. With borg implants from the one recent mission (and a lore justification that they decided to join the Jurati borg collective. Because cool consensual hivemind is a fascinating thing that the show really did not adequately explore)
comment in response to
post
(There is a crass joke we were considering making, but we decided to spare you lol)
comment in response to
post
Might be that your camera sensor has difficulties figuring out what to focus on due to the reflectiveness of the leggings? But yeah, those look *good*, frankly.
comment in response to
post
Fair. We definitely feel a lot more comfortable being openly horny and/or exceedingly gay, as well, at least.
comment in response to
post
Ah, so, in canon they actually develop all their tech themselves? Seems like a bit of a wasted opportunity to me, honestly, but I'm not a comic writer, of course.
comment in response to
post
Honestly, we'd almost expect more of a borg approach to technology, in that they develop things based off of what their hosts have access to, shared across the hivemind. So less major innovation on original principles, and more improving tech they get access to with other tech they have available.
comment in response to
post
Ah, fair. There's definitely a lot of fascinating stuff that could probably be done with that society, really, sounds extremely cool.
comment in response to
post
Oh, that's extremely cool, really. Could make a comparison to, like, the historical punishment of ostracization, where people would not just be exiled, but never communicated with again.
comment in response to
post
Well, that's definitely what makes that origin a lot more interesting, the conflict between expectations of life and what one chooses to do. Which, given, well, life, is definitely something that resonates with us as well, quite frankly. Even if our parents aren't a god of evil lmao.
comment in response to
post
Ah, see, we would've joked that clearly it's just a case of morality thoroughly adjacent to that which humans have, but that definitely sounds like a fascinating origin itself.
comment in response to
post
My main, created as a self-insert when we were a good deal more boring about self-expression, is a DSC-era Human. We'd consider getting a species change token, but there's not that many options with DSC, sadly.
comment in response to

It's definitely ok! I'm currently making dinner as well, so response times may be a bit slow, but yeah.

I have a Joined Trill character in STO, and no, they don't have any special dialogue, which is very much a pity. (I believe you also need a Lifetime subscription for Joined Trill, but I got that years back, so, yeah)
comment in response to
post
Oh, I basically don't care about spoilers at all. Frankly, in some ways knowing what I'm getting into is better, but yeh.
comment in response to
post
Yeah! The Trill are some of my favorite species in Trek, honestly. Wish we could get more of them.
comment in response to
post
Well, quite. And in sports, the problem on that front has always, *always* been coaches and managers and doctors (who are, as you say, cis, generally white, men) doing assaults. Because, well, having a position of power makes it really fucking easy to get away with it.
comment in response to
post
Oh, that sounds extremely cool. Hell of a goal to have as well, really. (But yeah, symbiotes in general are excellent and deserve more love. There's a reason why Jadzia Dax is one of our favorite DS9 characters [and also why we like Ezri Dax so much, tbh, although she also deserved better])
comment in response to
post
Oh yeah, they're, like, symbiotes, I think? That's always an exceedingly cool concept, frankly.
comment in response to
post
Especially because it's also a very easy way for antisemites and islamophobes alike to gain credibility in the discourse. After all, if it's a religious conflict, then clearly the problem is that those Jews and Muslims are all too extreme and radical, right?
comment in response to
post
Fair! Maybe if we have enough disposable income we'll have a look sometime.
