I didn't mean to imply it's not also concerning tech. I think it would fit in both spheres. Just commenting on the whole "stop making trans people political" notion, like the issue isn't and hasn't been political the entire time.
Fully agree. Lots of jokes; they're not very funny, tho. IDK... Maybe it will get more interesting the further I get. I still wanna check out Neon (the cyberpunk city) and do deep space exploration (can't even get out there yet). I've been to a museum ran by the Starship Troopers faction that gives a ton of exposition on the lore and it was a chore to stay awake through all that.
With how many call backs, jokes and references I've seen in the main plot: it doesn't take itself too seriously. Half of the jokes have been directly related to the lack of dialogue options and having a silent protagonist.
I can get the sentiment about the combat being uninspired and a bit bland, and things being formulaic but... There is still something that draws me in. I really have no words for what it is, but somehow these games suck me in despite their problems and "boring" mechanics.
Risa is a pleasure planet in the show. Basically a planet that bases its entire economy on tourism and pleasing others. In all ways. Yes. Even that one.
Guys like Aaron will always be forced out by guys like Steve because guys like Aaron don't want to be assholes, which is a necessity guys like Steve have no issue with.
I started watching a dude the other day who put up one video so far chronicling a journey of using these kind of brain cell computer chips to make something that can play Doom.
I may be remembering wrong but I think it might be someone who worked on that pong thing... He briefly talked about it in the video I mention above.
I really can't wait for the second part. The first one was mostly about how he set up the growth medium and fed the cells, as well as showing off the chips and what problems they ran into so far doing things the way they were doing them. Next one is supposed to get more into the doing stuff and I am hella interested in that.
The ghost in the shell one is extra funny because the character is basically a human consciousness in a totally robotic body and she can have (and indeed has had) different bodies that may or may not be her original body. I think they make it more concrete, but at one point even her original sex was called into question.
The Major could have been played by anyone, and they could have just said it was the robot body she was swapped into.
It just reminds me of that animatronic alien from a certain I Think You Should Leave skit, so all I can think of for a caption is
"HER SISTER'S ADDICTED TO DRUGS! IS THAT BORING?!"
