playing 1000xresist after reading project hail mary is such a wakeup call.
what if aliens were equally as curious as humans and found ways to communicate by trial and error? what if they wanted to be polite to each other and return your outreach in kind? can we save the world by trying to understand one another?
okay. now what if that communication poisons you. kills you. and why would they have an understanding of death? it's just a file exchange with a few lost pixels. too bad, this outreach didn't work. at least we saved the planet's memories. we'll save this last one for safekeeping. nevermind her mental state. why would they understand that.
