I’m aware of OSC outside his books, but within Ender’s Game there is an exploration of a topic. It is the height of hubris to present one interpretation of fiction as if it is the only one and true one. I never read the book as excusing the genocide, rather that the horror of it was a major point. Is Ender innocent of genocide if he didn’t know he was committing it? I don’t know, that’s a thought experiment and discussion topic, but not one that I read excusing the genocide itself.

I find the linked page leaning heavily on the moral judgements and particular language of Graff, a character who I never found trustworthy or to be taken at face value. He always seemed to be saying whatever he needed to say to smooth past uncomfortable situations so he could mold Ender as he wanted him to be. Like he was an authority figure in some kind of dystopia.

Ender’s Game for sure was my first thought.

What kind of a man wears Armour hotdogs?!

Scary numbers.

I want to combine them. Markers are bad for large areas because they streak. I may end up digitally combinding watercolor backdrops with marker drawings. Right now I’m just testing out how to watercolor.

I do all my art with 5.

The lobbyist and the senator were in the office exchanging bribes and I saw one of the bribes and the bribe looked at me!

T-60 armor was something brand new to the west coast in the current day era of the show. Normally I might not be as nitpicky, but the show goes out of its way to introduce the armor as something brand new to the area.

King Of The Hill? The anime?!

Water based art markers, just the cheap ones. The drawings almost all exist inside a shared universe I’ve been imagining.

Thanks.

Y-y–you too.

Which one of you is the shitposter?

Ah yes, the elusive they.

I think technically that makes sense in-universe, but it is indeed a terrible design. If the flashback had a T-51 with something classic like the Fallout 1 assault rifle I would have done the pointing at the screen meme.

The fact that it wasn’t T-51 in the flashback really bugged me.

There it is.

And some ordnance nerds like digging into the details of exactly what it is.

Oh, might want to take a second pass on the post title.

I think for a business it is an issue of starting investment. Injection plastic molding, like with the WWSD, requires injection plastic molding machines, molds, supporting hardware (cooling, thermal controllers, material feeding setups, some method of robotic takeout system), and technicians familiar with various parts of the molding and automation process. 3D printing can be done to fill orders and with a lot less up-front investment in hardware. If it goes bust, the cost of 3D printers is way lower of a loss.
