ohhhh its not about the outcome its literally about having fun with your characters! and the worldbuilding doesnt have to be believable, it just has to allow for weird sex stuff!

Isn't it a little weird that Xeno's settlement didn't have rubber?

I guess they were probably using more expensive silicone, butadiene, and nitryl for places they ABSOLUTELY need it, like engine gaskets and medical equipment.

But Golden Rod grows natively and abundantly in the American southwest, and it can absolutely be used to make large quantities of latex rubber. Not as much as a plantation of rubber trees, but still. And with his synthetic fertilizer plant, he could've grown and mechanically harvested acres of the stuff along side the corn.

It just seems like a bit of an oversight on his part, don't you think?

Definitely an oversight, probably thanks to that little discovery not receiving much attention since synthetic latex from petroleum was discovered around the same time. I guess even Dr. Xeno can't think of everything. He could be using some other alternative (like butadiene, like you said) but I don't know for sure if they have access to petroleum anyway. We had petroleum from the sheer luck of the Sagara oil field being close by. It would've helped a ton if Chelsea were there with them, I'm sure she knows the coordinates of every oil field on the planet. But they didn't. Yikes.

Maybe synthetic rubber was overlooked on my part, since it's brought to my attention. We have petroleum... Argrhhf.

To the like three people that follow me I’m sorry. This last quarter I literally did not engage with anything besides my classwork and projects so TADC was at the far far back of my mind and now that I am Back I can’t stop thinking about it. Also the absolute elation I feel having a (basically) confirmed transfem character in a show that isn’t focused on its queerness is so very exciting.

Idk I remember putting it on in the background last year when I was doing homework and being vaguely intrigued but not really Caring that much (we were only up to episode 4 at the time), to then fast forward into August when episode 6 dropped and it literally being on loop… true insanity. How I managed to start the fixation for a week put it on a HARD pause and then come back to it is a mystery to me. (Something something got that dog in me)

todays mood is thinking about how there are so few stars in Spéir and how much it hurts me to live in places where i cant see many stars and how much comfort i get from knowing that at least there are places where more stars are visible and wondering what it would be like to not only never have seen the glory of a sky full of stars but to know that that is never possible? would that even enter the thoughts? everyone knows the stars fell, have tales of what they looked like made it to the modern day? do people try to imagine what it might have looked like? and did Travis get to see the full glory of the stars before they fell? does he ever hurt knowing he'll never be able to see that again?

Guess who's been getting back into the Star Wars roleplaying games...?

A while back, I wrote an original Force and Destiny game about a group of force sensitive kids on a little farming planet, and I was super proud of it. I wrote up...a lot for it. New planet, new alien species, tons of little critters, tons of fun little things to do and plot hooks and and and...etc. It was the first Game I've ever built and been super proud of. Who knows if it'll work if I ever get to run it. I probably won't get to run it for a while, because everyone I know is super busy, and in the meantime, I'm trying hard not to write a full on story for it aside from backstories for NPCs I've gotten attached to.

So I remembered all of that shit recently and realized hey, I've got this force and destiny game, I've already played in an age of rebellion game, I went back and fucking connected those two games together with my friend's blessing so I've got a full fuckign continuity thing going on, whatever, let's move on to edge of the empire next eh?

I have Mask of the Pirate Queen. I tried to run it a while back but had some issues with it. The concept is super cool! It brings in the Zann Consortium and introduces a new organization called the Veiled Sorority, a mostly-lady pirate organization led by a masked pirate queen (everyone knows I love crime, ladies, and pirates, so, you know). Part of the problem was me; I'm not exactly a super experience GM. I got crazy flustered a lot. Now that I'm more confident and more experienced with writing RPG-style stuff specifically, I'm gonna give it another shot as a little solo thing with Henry and I'm excited!
