Vintage computers, workstations, and minicomputers are (one of) my aesthetics! https://witches.town/media/81Xvc7vkEu9AldJbkCc https://witches.town/media/ekWZKfkd2OH7by8l6qg https://witches.town/media/hc5p3gDqgGaIuTEt9_w

Now if only I could figure out a sensible reason for this aesthetic to persist through the early 2100s to the late 2200s ^^ (Especially on mass-conscious spacecraft!)

@blackle To me it sounds like something out of classic scifi like Asimov or Clarke novel! (Which I read tons of as a kid ^^)

Like, something big and semi-industrial, that's very utilitarian looking on the outside, tho not necessarily on the inside as well!

I wonder how long it'll be before wikipedia starts using ancient (by future standards) wikipedia articles as references, if ever. Will articles eventually be "archived" and locked away as historical things?

(I'd imagine that there might procedures written down and in place for that already?)

@blackle Autoloom? Calculoom?

"Autoloom threading at max, shedding...."

(Imagining what it'd be like if all computer terminology was based on loom terminology!)

A friend linked me this article, and I think it's really great how these folks at that factory are doing things without a boss! We don't need bosses to tell us what to do!

The solidarity of the people in the surrounding city, helping to protect the factory from capitalist scumbags there to "take back" equipment is great as well, as is their support of refugees!

We really need more factories like this. (All workplaces should be self managed imo!)

(I've no idea what this is from but I can totally get behind the idea of basic rights including existing forever and unimpeded movement in space!!)

@tcql That's pretty much exactly what I was thinking of as well! ^^

"Crowded Sky" or "Crowded Sky of $place_name" would be a great name for a book or worldbuilding project imo

@Efi Well, I hope that you're able to get it to work, cuz I love love love 3d "pixel"-type art! But yes I"m laydown now, sorry for responding to a comment right before bed ehe ^^;

@Efi I really like it at least!! ^^

@Efi Hecking frick that's one good aesthetic!!

Finished! Playing as Emily was really good! I especially liked how she had more powers that could be used nonlethally than corvo did (at least in the first game).

The story was good too, tho I honestly feel like the main antagonist might've made a better hero if she'd been written a bit differently?

(Please don't spoil anything in dishonored 2 yet! I'm not quite done!)

It's funny how the dishonored series seems to be building up to "the outsider is def evil yup" while also being "but he'll give you these super rad powers!! At essentially zero personal cost!!"

@blackle With that outfit, I'd go without the hat, I don't think it fits the outfit well? (Tho I'm not good at fashion, so maybe take this with a grain or two of salt! ^^)

@blackle Same tbh. I also find that explaining the joke often adds a lot of humor to it? (At least imo)
