@foone (There is also, for the record, a trans character. Like just one of the humans is a trans woman. And basically none of her storylines are about trans issues. She's just like "hm it is difficult to navigate the current job market as a library science PHD". Meanwhile it's the *robots* that are just CONSTANTLY doing queer issues analogy storylines. I … appreciate it, a bit.)
@foone and QC is mostly fluffy wish fulfillment but this one storyline just like… never got resolved, this one character is just permanently less happy because of this unsolvable problem she has now.
@misty@foone Yeah, her coming out to Marten was super awkward in a really cardboard way. On the bright side, her having sex with Marten the first time was SUPER awkward in a pleasantly realistic way.
Not sure how to navigate the moment so you're making jokes you really shouldn't be making to defuse a situation that technically might not even exist outside your own head
One thing I like about that particular character is that the way she's drawn seems to suggest— like, she's a robot, right? AIs in the QCverse aren't born into bodies, they're raised in virtual machine creches. So this chick coulda had a body that looked potentially however she wanted. And when she picked her tits, she was like "no, I don't want them big. regular to a bit on the small side. But I want them to be really, REALLY perky".
@foone@xgranade@dysfun Very light atmosphere, though, right? Is heat dissipation going to be difficult? It sounds like the cold liquid water patches inside are gonna be harder to get to than some other jovian objects…
I used to think computers would fricking love operating in outer space because they can just continuously run cold to the point of hovering near absolute zero, but then I found out vacuum is an extremely good insulator
Hi, I'm a human! I decided to build my entire modern civilization on top of a type of machine that stops working completely if it comes into contact with water— the substance that covers two-thirds of the earth! Don't worry, I live on the other one-third, where there's no water at all
@xgranade@dysfun Yeah turns out if you wanna build a datacenter, nothing beats just getting a big iron ball and spinning it until it forms a magnetosphere
I have a npm module I published in 2016, which to my knowledge has not worked since about 2018 (due to my failure to correctly use package-lock.json— in my defense, introduced in 2017). At some point in the last few years npm started getting very worried about supply chain attacks, so they started trying to get everyone to enable 2FA on their npm account, so frequently they send me emails asking for my phone number, and that's very reasonable, but also I think it's reasonable for me to not care
@kellydf I like audacity much less than I like the equivalent shareware audio editor i was using on Mac OS 10.1 in 2001. I basically never use audacity without wishing i were using the program I used on OS X 10.1 in 2001, or sometimes on Mac OS 7 in 1996 for that matter
I love "React" (the Javascript framework) but the thing is, when you really love something, that usually means you know it well enough to be viciously, grotesquely mean toward it if you so choose
