MancXVI posted:i love how they don't even address the moral implications of manufacturing fuckloads of people to blow poo poo up, nor do they address the complete meaninglessness of the clone wars due to the pawns being literal numbers and robots i was just imagining a game so boring that the ai drones self-terminate. i'm glad i don't do computers for a living. didn't that movie have like a muppet or somehting?

I'm midway thru Voyager, which will be my last ST show, and yes, nothing beats DS9. I think it was the only one of them that actually had some serious story arcs spanning more than the usual last season episode/first season episode. Maybe Enterprise did it too, but I don't quite remember.

Tried to start reading Greg Egan's Diaspora, but it seems like science fiction written by and for people who enjoy mathematics on a level I can't understand.

republic commando takes place during the clone wars so it wouldn't be that. really tho storm troopers post-republic are all conscripts and volunteers.

So I finished Embassytown and since I was already in a Mieville frame of mind I then read the rest of Kraken which I hadn't finished before, and now I'm about halfway through Railsea. Gonna have to pick up The City and The City next, I suppose. (already read the Bas-Lag trilogy) The man can write really weird and compelling stories; I'll give him that. Railsea is even more awesome than it would have been since I actually read (most of) Moby Dick (the copy from Project Gutenberg that I put on my phone overwhelmed it after the first 78,430 pages or so).

i think the idea of a millitary deciding that a giant flying piston machine would be a good idea for an actual strategic weapon is just lol a near infinite supply of materials through a huge galactic empire + instantaneous ftl travel means for endless conflict. each side eventually turns to mass producing thousands of loving worthless weapons that end up seeing use because both sides are just pissing away billions of ships casue with the endless weath and unoccupied territory they are just throwing poo poo away as fast as they can make it so because they have nothing better to do they just make a piston ship
