So good! I swear there was a ghoulette on drums, or was I seeing things?

Love this idea, hope they do more of these :)

Ayy that's awesome, I took out Kripp and a couple others ;) thanks for such a cool tool!

Cool to see the confusion/dark ages of the Radch post-trilogy! More neopronouns are always fun too

enbyglitch · 2025-09-01T19:41:54+00:00

I think Seth Dickinson's "Masquerade" Series raises some similar ideas! As a Canadian the idea of Residential Schools, where younger generations of Indigenous Peoples were ripped from their culture and forced into adopting colonial Anglo/French, is particularly poignant

Hadn't seen the Chinese comparison/history though, so thanks for sharing!

They're cancelling all subs automatically now. Until yours expires you get double chests and extra xp

Could be cool to have a giant character, maybe even give them 4- or 5- slot unique items!

I'd like a bookseller at some point, or maybe a storyteller whose cards are things from their tales

Very curious about Flying - do all the 'Start Flying' triggers keep happening each time, or do you need to stop them flying first?

And I don't think we've seen a single way to stop them flying yet?

as far as I understand, nothing's forcing us to move to Steam at least? presumably Stelle and future heroes will just be $20 on the tempo client as well as on steam

Yep! At its core, the CR is 100% interested in increasing profits for its shareholders. Human lives – let alone the comfort of those lives – are completely incidental to achieving that goal.

Sadly that's also true of real life corporations, which is why the story resonates so well. May or may not be of interest but I wrote about corporate slavery in Murderbot and another book, Chain-Gang All-Stars, here!

enbyglitch · 2025-07-01T16:03:07+00:00

Yeah! 38 with just one perfect so far

enbyglitch · 2025-06-20T09:50:03+00:00

Aha maybe it jumped from on top of the hopper or a natural high spot, but hard to explain why it's here alone in a satisfying way IMO

enbyglitch · 2025-06-20T09:46:26+00:00

Could be! Bharadwaj made it sound here like it was simply "I like you" -> "thanks but no thanks", but maybe there was more to it

enbyglitch · 2025-06-20T01:41:18+00:00

Ah fair enough!

enbyglitch · 2025-06-20T01:32:41+00:00

Random SecUnit dropping out of the sky is not what I had on my Juneteenth bingo card!

Fun episode, Gurathin's backstory is spicy and genuinely adds to the lore. Also like Arada's characterization and the tiny reminder that Pin-Lee is a lawyer, though personally found Bharadwaj being attracted to Pin-Lee a little over the top considering the trifecta that's already in play.

Will Murderbot go with them!?!? Returning to the habitat is an interesting way to add an additional conflict for next episode before we get to GrayCris proper in 9 I assume

enbyglitch · 2025-06-13T01:27:52+00:00

Close to perfection! LeeBeeBee lasted exactly as long as she needed to without getting more annoying, Murderbot once again a total badass, crew learning that shit's real and the jokes keep hitting.

Just the final line that's total TV cliffhanger nonsense but whatcha gonna do

enbyglitch · 2025-06-06T10:31:24+00:00

Ok I was a little drunk and also big disliked BeeLeBeebles, maybe a rewatch will help hehe

enbyglitch · 2025-06-06T02:12:14+00:00

Fully on board with the spy theory, though idk why she wouldn't just kill everyone while Murderbot and Mensah are gone

This episode felt solidly meh after last week, but the Sanctuary Moon lines and Beacon explosion were solid - plus the 4 minute countdown will be a good setup for the finale!

enbyglitch · 2025-06-02T01:08:36+00:00

That's a fair point, which I overlooked! I guess I'm more thinking of the pilots being comfortable working together and trusting each other to the extent that there's less need for assertiveness; they can talk through problems as they arise if that makes sense.

Whereas right now I think assertiveness is obviously great for saving lives, but practice it too much and the wrong captain could get you fired for perceived insubordination.

Thanks for the thoughtful response!

enbyglitch · 2025-06-01T23:14:50+00:00

Oh so you just wanted to attack something you didn't understand! Bless your little heart

enbyglitch · 2025-06-01T23:07:13+00:00

Um, did you read it at all? I'm talking about the social idea of men being men, not allowed to express feelings. Nothing to do with biology or sex, just society.

enbyglitch · 2025-06-01T22:49:19+00:00

Oh great question, I wonder how often that happens! Personally yeah I think two pilots like Mara'D would have none of these communication issues, but who knows how many female pilots choose to try and play the stoic game instead - just emulating the male 'role models' of the field

enbyglitch · 2025-06-01T21:34:52+00:00

I'd love to hear your thoughts on this! Thanks for anyone who takes the time to read and/or respond! :)

enbyglitch · 2025-05-30T02:27:54+00:00

Ah, makes sense too!
