@rachel@has.foxiepa.ws Yeah! He's great. A fanmade tabletop thing says these boxes are usually like, emergency cyborg bodies to put someone's brain in, but I guess he just likes being a cube.

@ratscratch@snouts.online oh whew good, thanks

I have a pretty strong idea of how all this fictional science works, but may not be explaining good at all. Does this make sense?

@Felthry A mystery... Either they don't know what they're saying or they know -too much-

I started writing some Fake Science engineering info for scifi rpg or story stuff, and quickly got carried away.

Oops. worldanvil.com/w/strange-new-f

@ratscratch@snouts.online @StarshipAmelia im doing Story Stuff right now, the first interstellar ship sent from earth is sentient, because the people aboard are asleep most of the way. Would make piloting a bit tricky otherwise.

@StarshipAmelia I keep trying to find scifi writing advice, and the idea that "readers won't empathize with a computer-controlled ship, it needs human crew" is repeated so much, but it's so ridiculous, we -already- readily empathize with real computers and robots and they don't even talk

@Scapegoat@chitter.xyz now i didnt get very far in destiny but are those supposed to be 0s
