Wouldn't that be awesome?"Laserblast definitively answers that question; No. It would still suck.Join us at 9pm Eastern this Sunday for a *remarkably* bad film.

Cleo of Topless Topics(spoilers for a cheesy 90s <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/scifi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#scifi</a> show "Welcome to Paradox" I never heard of until I started watching it today)The "take a homeless person no one loves* and transport her consciousness into a sexy living doll" plot would make a whole lot more sense if the "unlovable homeless person" wasn't herself a conventionally attractive able bodied young blonde woman" 🤨 but I guess this being the 90s, they didn't want to put any non-hot woman on screen, even to play a disadvantaged character.*I'm not saying someone experiencing houselessness is always ugly and unloved, that's what the show is intimating

Cleo of Topless TopicsRandomly started watching this cheesy 90s <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/scifi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#scifi</a> show called "welcome to paradox," kind of an outer limits meets veeery early Black Mirror... The acting and plots are incredibly cringey, but there are some allegories that match current events... Like celebrities being hired to sell products (in a world where advertising has been banned? That part is silly) jee just like modern day Influencers!

Ben! (Boo!)Keep thinking about writing a dystopian novel that follows a hardcore eco-leftist resistance to a techno-fascist government who don't use any technology after the start of the internet age and are rejected by other factions due to their heavy use of terrorism and armed warfare.<a href="https://mas.to/tags/writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#writing</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/dystopia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dystopia</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/scifi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#scifi</a>

RS, Author, Novelist, ProsaistMy feminist SF web-novel Mars Needed Women is complete! 23,300 words in 31 chapters, one chapter posted each day throughout March, the last posted 23 minutes ago as I write this. Check out the cover art.To read, either use the hashtag <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/RSMarsNeededWomen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RSMarsNeededWomen</a> or this link to the first chapter: <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/@sfwrtr/114088945266387178" translate="no" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://eldritch.cafe/@sfwrtr/114088945266387178</a> The full novel is in the thread. Just scroll to read.<blockquote>“A hopeful deeply-dystopian feminist SF story, with thinly veiled jabs at our current world's bad actors making for a bad future. Please note the past tense in the title: Mars Needed Women. The story's women are going to work to bring down the system, at least that part that's oppressing them, in a massive unscheduled disassembly.”</blockquote>I'll leave it up for you to read for at least a week. After that, I'm revising it for later secondary publication.[Author retains copyright (c)2025 R.S.]<a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/BoostingIsSharing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BoostingIsSharing</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Writever" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Writever</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Mars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mars</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/SpaceOpera" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SpaceOpera</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#writer</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/author" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#author</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/sf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sf</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/sciencefiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sciencefiction</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/scifi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#scifi</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/feminism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#feminism</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/gender" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gender</a> fiction <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writingCommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#writingCommunity</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writersOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#writersOfMastodon</a>

ToddZ Ⓥ<a href="https://indieauthors.social/@steaphan" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@steaphan</a> "Shields" are usually portrayed as you describe -- an energy field of some sort, which I'd think would either be enough to deflect a projectile, or not. Wouldn't seem to be something that should degrade when confronted.There's at least one Star Trek reference, though, that explains shields as a replicated super-alloy projected into the space surrounding the vehicle. It might make sense for this to weaken or dissipate under impact and require time and energy to re-fortify.<a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/scifi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#scifi</a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/nerd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nerd</a>
