Though, honestly, this may just be my inner optimist talking, but...having a duplicate of myself living on somewhere pleasant, even if I don't personally get to go there, is some comfort

It's one of those things where I don't actually think it's reasonably possible given modern technology, but learning more about how consciousness works and what makes things happen is...good? So, we should study it to learn, then make decisions based on what we find

Like...

Guys, Soma chose the fucked up scary possibility because it wants you to think about existentialism and also, to be scary and horrifying

We, human beings, do not know how consciousness works, how to transfer it, if transference would work, nothing!

"Transferring consciousness from flesh to machine is just a copy, it can't be immortality" is a funny argument for people to make based on a sci-fi horror game about how it'd be fucked up if you could make copies of people because, um we don't even know how such technology would work, or if it could

The visual image of purity seals burning off as the space marines enter into chaos is so fucking cool but also it means purity seals are basically dosimeters

It’s something that only makes sense to money ghouls - “people are getting free stuff!!! Stop it!!!” - but it completely destroys their fandom advertising, curtails growth, ruins engagement

The dumbest thing in the entirety of the internet age is, imo, streaming platforms that make it hard to share

I do still really love the premise that the aliens, once freed from the Etherials, become earth citizens that rules

My reaction to the menace crew is fun because it reveals that I probably would have loved chimera squad if it hadn’t come out at the exactly the wrong moment possible

Hearing reports that my 1,000 page exposé on the local Taco Bell not having the snack I like on the menu is "hard to read even in 36pt. font" and "why is the script of Bee Movie in the middle here"

Renu Rewa is a Pilot. She is extremely aggressive and arguably psychotic, a friendly-fire incident earlier in her career leaving her with an urge to kill that runs as deep as her gruesome physical scars. Reflecting that, her starting Perk is Revel In Slaughter.

Private commission to redesign space marine armor! this was a ton of fun to do and it was cool taking something familiar and redesign it with different mindset and parameters! i think it ended up creating something failiar but unique in its own right!
