What exactly is your question here? How to come up with designs? Same basic process that you learn by doing it.

The same way any artist does (which decidedly does not include asking a machine). It’s difficult to teach but the more you do it, the more stories your head generates.

Which is why vaccines slowly transform you into cattle.

The checkmark meaning “correct” comes from Latin, it developed from V for veritas - truth. Japanese (traditionally) does not have a sound corresponding to V, that’s why B is commonly substituted, a sound that is phonetically close to V. “Idiot” of course means 馬鹿 baka so a V(/B) next to something was misunderstood as calling it wrong and idiotic. The misunderstanding stuck so now a checkmark is used for mistakes instead of correct things.

I have to respect my ancestors’ wisdom so gimme that sweet, sweet Pervitin.

Last time I witnessed queer-baiting this blatant, one of them had wings and the other wore plaid (Tone indicator amused/bit annoyed). Was VERY worried there’d be some Scortegas in the future and VERY relieved at the conclusion (though I kind of think not everybody needs to be buddies but ah well).

I usually don’t notice wardrobe but I fucking loved what Uhura was wearing her party. Ortegas’ antennae though seemed like taping down your eyes to appear “Asian”, what even.

Do humans/Starfleet ever abort negotiations because someone on the other side inadvertently did something culturally insensitive? Has a non-Starfleet culture ever gone to great lengths to accomodate our cultural weirdnesses?

Major consequences = inconveniencing them in their research

That’s why in German, if someone’s room is a mess or they didn’t put a lot of effort into their work, you can call them “slutty”, even if it’s a child, and nobody bats an eye.

Cradle of civilisation, maybe, not humanity. The need (and ability) to problem solve got us to where we are. If everything is tickety-boo, why try to change anything?

Academy was announced in March 2023. Prodigy was cancelled and moved to Netflix in June 2023. SNW’s final srason was announced June 2025. So I think we can assume the design is older than March 2023, when Academy wasn’t a thing yet and Prodigy and SNW were ongoing. Weird design anyway, made worse by the delay.

Herr Wachtmeister, you cannot prove that’s not where I am right now.

*polite German chuckling*

I don’t think most Germans would get that pun, at least not fast enough. So “polite chuckle (at recognising the structure of a joke*)” seems right. No, it doesn’t work in German. I shudder to think what the German dub (which is notorious for fucking up anything involving clever language) may have done with this.

Disregarding the language barrier, WWI is kind of overshadowed in public discourse by that other war so it’s not like we have strong enough feelings about it to be upset about a mildly amusing joke.

* no our lack of humour does not impair our ability to recognise that a joke has occurred fuck off ;P

… tch. Imbecile.

TinyMediaManager renames all my files (anime or otherwise) so that any service can work with them. There’s very rarely anything that isn’t recognised properly.

I like having stuff. I particularly like having stuff and not having to go look for it when I want to watch it. 'scuse me, I’m gonna go start a random Doctor Who episode from over 60 years of material.
