Luminesce October 7 Share October 7 Was gonna just quote Kingdom Hearts and say "I am me, nobody else!" but that is, by pure coincidence, not true Hi! I'm Lumi, host of Reisen, Tewi, Flandre and Lucilyn. Everyone deserves to love and be loved. It's human nature. My tulpas and I have a Q&A thread, which was the first (and largest) of its kind. Feel free to ask us about tulpamancy stuff there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breloomancer October 7 Share October 7 i just finished reading project hail mary and i enjoyed it a lot. i would recommend it to anyone who enjoys sci fi. the way that the story leads you to the correct conclusions a few paragraphs before it is spelled out explicitly makes you feel very smart while reading it. also, apparently it's getting a movie, which is pretty cool. on the wikipedia page, it says that rocky's voice actor hasn't been announced yet, but i'm hoping that that's just a funny way of saying "rocky isn't getting a voice actor", because it would be really disappointing if they gave him a human voice i do have a few minor nitpicks, complaints, and disappointments though: Spoiler first of all, whether or not extraterrestrial life is related to earth life should really not be a point of contention for very long. some similarities could be argued as convergent evolution, but if you look at things that we are very certain are arbitrary, like the chirality of certain molecules, statistically significant similarity could only be explained by the panspermia theory. its not a hard theory to come up with (it took me less than a second of thought, and i don't even specialize in biology), and a very easy theory to test, yet, we never explicitly get a definitive answer. technically, taumoeba being edible confirms that earth life and adrian life share a common ancestor, because for the human body to be able to properly digest absorb the energy of taumoeba, the relevant molecules must have the correct chirality, however this is never remarked upon in the story, so presumably the author didn't realize that chirality was important secondly, the lincos language was never mentioned. it wouldn't have changed much if it had been mentioned, the characters seemed to get on alright without it, but it would have been cool if it were mentioned, and it is minorly disappointing that it wasn't third: eridian psychology is basically exactly like human psychology. aside from their perfect recollection and adeptness at elementary math, no difference between rocky and grace is larger than the difference you would expect for two people from different cultures who don't have much contact. in fact, the difference might even be less than you would expect from such a situation. their biology is creative and very interesting, so it's disappointing that a similar amount of thought and care didn't go into their minds fourth: at one point, grace asserts something along the lines of "sociality is a necessary precursor for intelligent life to evolve", and later he proposes the theory "the intelligence of intelligent life is probably based on the strength of gravity on the planet they evolved on". both of these theories are obviously stupid, and they don't get challenged significantly by the story. but whatever, grace can just be wrong and not realize it, it's not a big deal fifth: because eridians have perfect memory, they would have very different requirements for optimal learning than humans. over the course of 16 years, grace could have learned about eridian pedagogy. however, the way that his teaching style mimics how he taught humans implies that he is a very bad teacher. now, we don't see enough of his teaching to know for certain that it would actually continue to look similar to how he taught humans after he spoke more than a sentence, and obviously what we were shown was more meant to act as a bookend to the story than to give us an accurate overview of what teaching eridians is like. i know that i am severely overthinking this, but it still bothers me, just a little bit I have a tulpa named Miela who I love very much.
