@stavvers Ooh, now I'm actually wondering about other kanji-like characters used in English! Off the top there's @ (at) and & (and) which are relatively commonly used in sentences as if they were the words they represent. Especially &.
@stavvers I get occasional dizzy spells, and the closest anyone ever got to figuring out why was when they discovered that pulling 4-8 vials of my blood was a good way to trigger them
I'd really like one of those people who make the little model kits to build this plane then paint it white and add the red dots. They would win the internet for at least an hour.
@stavvers Nissan are alive and well in the Battletech universe (and GE, Mitsubishi) so Hitatchi being around isn't that much of a stretch and yeah I kinda want that as a decal in my battletech game.
@stavvers 👍 That would be VERY appropriate for Doctor Who! It's exactly the sort of thing you could explain away with weird "time anomalies" and what-not, and yet has real-world metaphorical implications.
I feel like we'd learn the Ancient Thing is using his nuclear plant to power the device keeping this status quo - which is also keeping him effectively immortal.
@stavvers the cruelty of stardom in an age of permanently recorded and replayable performances. The movie stars and rock stars have to endure everyone reacting to someone they have long since ceased to be, may never have been outside of celluloid or vinyl. The current Dylan biopic shows some of the cracks this causes in ones psyche. The audience has a role in this distortion.
