    Star Wars takes place in a “Low-Tech High-Tech” universe. It’s like... a little past Steampunk; Transistorpunk, maybe. Nevermind that they’ve got ubiquitous AI everywhere, trivial spaceflight and FTL, and so-on. It’s all chunky circuits and wires and you can fix things by hitting them repeatedly and the holograms suck.

    I daresay some pretty twisted things emerge from the sump of my brain, too. I don’t think it’s unhealthy as long as one maintains the separation of fantasy and reality. Maybe embarrassing, if someone peeks over your shoulder, though!

    If you can’t be a little bit weird in your fantasy life, what’s the point?

    I think that it’s called “projection.”

    Glad to see the humans adapting the alien technology for their own use.

    Yeah, “joke.” Not “fishing for a snark comeback from a teen so she can justify a flip-out.”

    I dunno, police have just as much right to be dumb as the next person. Stuff like, I dunno, threatening a federal officer who was investigating their department...

    Culture is changing and I don’t like it!

    The proper term is “bacon-bit”.

    Everyone needs someone lesser than they are, I guess. :(

    Actually, that was Tarkin.

    I’d be calling an ambulance, myself...

    Well... they’re rich.

    Reminder: you’re not a person, you’re a disposible asset.

    Nipples - male or female - are one of the most painful piercings I know of. You have to start getting pretty exotic around the dong before those start being particularly hurty.

    I like this bit in their Privacy Statement:

    I remember playing the original version. I loved it! Right up until I declared independance. It wasn’t that the armies of the homeland were bigger than mine, or anything like that; rather, the fact that the AI was an entirely-cheating bastard, and would capture entire stacks of my units by disembarking onto them from

    Everyone’s different. From the moment the Puberty Fairy visited me I considered both sexes interesting, but only figured out the term bisexual much later on. XD

    Answer ‘yes’ and make him sit in the back seat, sometime. :)
