Put cameras with live feed on ship without fuel that is shot into the ring with all the billionaires in the galaxy on board and then it’s turned into a tv show for everyone else to watch as they deal with whatever the heck they encounter for everyone else’s entertainment.

three body problem trilogy hands down. It’s one of my new autistic special interests now. Along with my other special interests like warhammer 40k, speaking of which, eye of terror is a close second to three body problem, followed by various other 40k books probably which is what ive mostly read this year aside from three body and various non-fiction books on my non-fictional special interests.

Also recommend Three body problem, the dark forest, and death’s end by Cixin Liu. It’s the only kind of sci fi i want anymore. But the expanse show was interesting so i’ve wanted to read the expanse books as well. Cixin Liu’s trilogy was amazing, it’s the only book i’ve read where science is terrifying and every single theory they bring up makes all of my bodie’s hairs stand on end constantly as i realize terrifying implications of information that previously seemed innocuous. I LOVED the books soo much, and i was very happy to for the first time, read a book that is based in chinese culture, since i had no experience or knowledge really of chinese culture, and i very much enjoy exploring new things, it was one of my favorite parts. Also the other part is i am a huge fan of lovecraftian stories. And this feels like a new, modern take on lovecraft. A take on it that is more realistic to the reality we live in, but at the same time, Cixin Liu seems to not be afraid to delve deep into the fiction aspects of science fiction just to pull out ideas that while not exactly true in real life, work as really good metaphors for similar ideas like our lack of understanding in science, which the new James-webb telescope is already providing many new questions about humanities understandings of the cosmos.

i would give it 3 out of 3 stars if one was not hit by a near light speed object. (if you’ve read the trilogy you’ll probably understand this reference.)

GayCosmicHorror , 7 months ago to asklemmy in What part of a game you enjoy replaying do you dislike replaying?

Kotor 2, the entire beginning section. before telos, and even some parts of telos, i love the rest of the game still, but the early parts of kotor 2 didn’t really age well, especially the space walk part lmaooo but that parts actually enjoyable because it is silly. The beginning section only is bad if it’s on subsequent playthroughs, and i wish i could enjoy it for the first time again, very much.
