Thanks so much, fasten seat belts, it's quite a ride, I hope you find the time. :)
like sure, I love hard science fiction, its one of my favorite subgenres of scifi in general. I love being able to dig deep on topics explored in a given piece of media, and feel the groundeness of it. However, not everything has to be grounded in realism, nor should it.
Realism is one means of communicating meaning, and it should not be the only. But like, it could be the author of the video agrees with that notion, and any assumptions I make otherwise are just me being autistic and not understanding people again
Might just write a little piece about people's tendancy to denigrate media for its lack of realism, or inconsistent realism, but I have to consider if the content creator in question should be lumped in with those people, or if he is just exploring and assessing whether or not pieces of media belong to a particular subgenre
Minor update to my hardware list
