I’m watching and reading EE Doc Smith’s Skylark at the same time. And the similarities are striking, even if the timescales are a less realistic in the century old books. @bookstodon

Who has watched the Three Body Problem on Netflix? I think I'm going to start it this weekend. I was extremely skeptical about it because of how badly the producers screwed up Game of Thrones, but heard it's good. Probably because they didn't have to write any original content 😂 I tried the Chinese version, and it's great, but I had a really hard time keeping up with the subtitles.

This isn't a novel, but there's a kids picture book called "We Are All Me" by Jordon Crane that explains this in simple poetry at a level that understandable to both children and adults.

The art is incredible. I highly recommend this book, particularly for grown-ups looking to share animism with kids!

@FullyAutomatedRPG Great, thank you! I take anything. I like the point about the interconnectedness of all life.
I'm a little surprised that the idea hasn't been worked on umpteen times in art.

@nyrath What? I need more than one? FFS.

You technically do not need more than one part library.

But practically if the single library has a gazillion parts, it will take a long time to find the parts you need. At some point it will take a shorter time to make the part from scratch, which kind of defeats the purpose.

Any sci-fi trying to do something different gets my attention. Francis Ford Coppola self-financing his story for sure gets my attention.

I'm intrigued.

@virtualbri That trailer looks wild. It's one of those movies that will either magically work or fail in a spectacular and extremely colorful way.

@tsturm Yes, absolutely.

At the space colony, a village of these alien folks live nearby. They're peaceful as long as they're entertained. It's your turn to entertain them. What will you do?

Describe a week in American politic - Stormy Daniels's testimony, dead worm ate my brain, and shoot the puppy and goat affirmation. Hopefully, they appreciate absurdist theatre in the form of performance art. :bl46:

I want a new, excellent space opera series, movie or game preferably.

It's time. I like Star Wars and all, but it's mostly feeling a little played out, with the same plots and even dialogue on repeat.

So yeah, another big, fresh space opera with great lore would really hit the spot.

And don't you dare say "Rebel Moon".

@ChrisJagged I’m assuming you already watched the expanse?
