cosmic heartache 💫
ever get lost in the galaxy of your own feels while playing a sci-fi game? like, one minute you’re bonding with an AI in cyberpunk neon and the next you’re sobbing over the fate of a planet you made friends with—why is my heart a spaceship flying through emotional black holes?!
Some days I don't feel like I've written something, so much as I've scratched out an excessively wordy outline of the story I really want to tell.
Sci-Fi Feels
“I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.”
- Blade Runner, 1982
With Blade Runner 2049 coming out, I recently revisited the original. In retrospect, there are plenty of problematic things about the original Blade Runner. There are even multiple versions, conflating the issue of what is and isn’t truly canon in what I feel is, ultimately, a visual mood piece.
While I’ll forever be in love with the Philip K. Dick novel, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, the Tears in the Rain monologue, delivered by replicant Roy Batty at the climax of the action, is some of the most sparsely poignant sci-fi writing that I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing. We spend most of this movie following Deckard around, becoming emotionally invested in his colorful, futuristic setting – and at the end of all of it, we have this tantalizing, beautiful speech that shrinks the whole world. It hits like a sledgehammer: Batty has seen things we will never truly know, and in his fleeting existence has lived a grander adventure than we could reckon.
Artemis is designed for anyone who watched Star Trek and dreamed of what it would be like to sit on the bridge of a star ship. Artemis simulates a spaceship bridge by networking several computers together. You cannot play Artemis single-player!
How does this exist, how did I not know this existed, and how much will I hate myself if I try to set up a networked game to play?
Star Trek: The Next Generation just blew my mind. Who knew that the Enterprise was actually two ships hooked together?
Am I the only person on tumblr who would totally be a part of a Stargate: SG1 fandom if such a fandom existed? :3
