NINbuntu 64 posted:sometimes i try to figure out how the holodeck handles multiple people using it while spread out over an area greater than the area of the holodeck and just give up because holodecks are dumb and holodeck episodes were dumb the way i figure is that everyone is actually just suspended in air by a system of tractors/repulsors, with the holodeck moving people around and providing feedback as needed. like, if one dude runs away from the other, they'll both still be ~10 feet from each other but be seeing and experiencing entirely different things. coaxmetal posted:I enjoy the fact that some of the people here take the fiction semi-seirously. it's fun, shut up.

oh i finished "Lady of Mazes" by Schroeder this week; if you liked "Ventus" this is kind of the prequel (your good pal 3340 is there), is much shorter, and has a few big ideas of its own

jack dowland was a fictional pseudonym that dick used, notably in one short story where the protagonist goes back in time to 'inspire' his favorite author jack dowland and it all comes crashing the gently caress down because of "here's ur story"

Bedshaped posted:it's a pity the potential of the holodeck as a masturbation device was never fully explored in the serieses from what i can tell sex holograms are a significant part of Quarks business in ds9. i mean other than selling drinks to mord, 1 gambling table and slap stick smuggling uptight people are always like 'omg you want me to use one of those scandelous sex programs that quarks is known for!?!' and other character will have to say 'oh no no no he has other more wholesome things for the holosuite as well!'
