Exploration is ill-advised.
And I was just wondering whether they'd address that The Accidental Space Spy likely is at least smart enough to be concerned that, especially considering all he's seen of alien anatomies, that an apparently attractive alien woman doesn't necessarily have anything remotely resembling compatible physiology for a human.

But of course he's also just dumb enough to get awkward about it. To be fair, he has every reason to be under a lot of stress, but still.

That said: Keep in mind, he can't tell her that he has no idea what her species even is.


There's an Ace Attorney joke in here somewhere but for some reason I first thought Yu-Gi-Oh!

Plume feels like a cross between Roger wilco and like, Gulliver's travels

I've made the comparison to at least the first one before and p sure that's exactly what he's going for. Though less social satire.

It's probably worse that it doesn't take much further down that terrible line of thought to imagine that absolutely exists in-setting.

One thing I find really funny about TASS is that at no point have Plume and Dunkirk figured out that it might be a good idea for Plume to study literally anything at all before they go to each new planet. Not even something as simple as reading the personnel file for their own colleagues.

for Opplopolis fans, the author's been blogposting a bit
and here's the upshot if you don't want to click

quote:

There will be an omnibus edition of Opplopolis. The current plan, subject to change, is for a 508-page soft-cover book with french folds, wrap-around cover — nice looking. In order to do it the way I would like, I’m going to have to do a crowd-funding campaign. The success or failure of the campaign will determine if the book costs around $40 USD and is available at retail, or if it costs significantly more and is available from the website only. Basically, it would determine if this is a self-published book, or a vanity project. Either way, an omnibus will exist.
so I'll post that here when it happens (he's aiming for August)

Prince Valiant's grasp of Scandinavian geography seems rather shaky; he knew he was heading to "Jutesland" but still felt the need to scan the "grim fiôrds of the north;" I assume the authorial intent is that fantasy Jutland is meant to be a larger-than-life representation, with many diverse tribes and kingdoms, but I prefer to read that they just landed in the Netherlands and walked until they found someone who spoke Danish.

I'm glad that others share my sadness over Plume's actions.

Ghost Leviathan posted:

A more savvy Plume could've gone with saying that he didn't study those specific aliens or that he didn't look into their romantic/sexual characteristics out of modesty, or something. But yeah, ultimately for all the bummer it is, it's fair to say that Plume isn't really in the best situation to be making great, thoughtful decisions.

Fingerpori

Puhallin = woodwind/brass instrument, more literally "an instrument you blow into", literally "blower"
Soittaja = player (of an instrument)
Soittaja = phonecaller
Lämpöpuhallin = a machine that blows warm air into a room, I decided to go with "heat pump" but there might be a better word; literally "warmth-blower"
Puhallinsoittaja = someone who plays a brass/woodwind instrument
Puhallinsoittaja = someone who calls about things that blow air

I was going to scan more ANSU today but ended up sleeping instead.

They actually connect to their jetpacks! It's hard to see it because the jetpack parts are pretty much the same grey tones as the ship interior.
