  • I’m being lazy and posting here what I did on reddit lol.

    Started And ended today after Team Fourstar suggested it and about four minutes in I had to stop watching because I knew I’d spoil something great.

    The closest thing I’ve seen to a show like this is Made in Abyss which might trump some of the scifi elements but leans more on anime bs at times. Those white towers definitely reminded me of spoilers from season 3 with the ecosystems inside. Pretty sure shoemakers had lots of inspiration from the anime or manga.

    I really do wish there were more games and shows that explored world building as visually as they did with SR. The closest games I’ve got the same feeling from was Subnautica. Especially with the quahog clam things lol.

    The slow realization with how the Hollow worked episode by episode was my favorite but I got it right from the start which was great.

    So happy about Levi. Definitely gave me Second Foundation and beyond vibes.

    That music and OST needs to be out today. Such a great score to emphasize almost every detail throughout every episode. It’s a straight masterpiece in sound and visual design even if it could’ve used more frames at times. I never really had an issue with it though.

    I do wish people were a little less harsh on Kamen though. I’m glad he got to live.

    The scene in the Microsoft 3d maze wall was so cool. Just a testament to humans occasionally being privy to something so earnest and secret and knowing there’s so much more into it than what you’re sending and it being larger than you was captured so well.

    What a great show and final episode even if it was a bit lackluster since I love creature features over anything else but it has to end sometime.

    Just wait for the nuclear shills to flood in and claim that nuclear fission is a sustainable and necessary form of power generation. No, it is not. Uranium extraction devastates entire landscapes, the construction of nuclear power plants is too expensive (even for SMRs, as the article explains), ergo electricity prices will climb, it is a hugely wasteful use of so many tonnes of concrete (concrete manufacturing is heavy on the environment too), it creates waste that will still haunt us for hundreds of thousands of years (finding geological structures that are guaranteed to be stable that long is difficult), and relative to the initial construction and set-up effort, they don’t provide that much energy. We already have methods that can provide us plenty enough electricity that are entirely sustainable by leveraging large-scale atmospheric aerodynamics as well as the largest nuclear fusion reactor at our disposal (the sun). There’s simply no need to go nuclear.

    Brought to you by fossil fuel propaganda filtered through renewable resource advocates who would also lose out to nuclear energy.
