Well yeah, obviously, but personally I'm just as turned on by the drones, zerglings, etc.

I like the RTS genre for one reason and one reason only.

The Zerg are sexy.

Why do we need machines? Can't we just give her some food? "Hey momma octopus, have a Snicker's. You're not you when you're hungry."

Worth keeping in mind, though, teaching is a skill. I know lots of brilliant people who can't teach worth a damn. And humans are biologically hardwired for teaching. Imagine how hard teaching has got to be for an octopus.

Also we are familiar with informational structures - thinking machines - with a greater intelligence than their single biological components. For example, an ant hive. Each individual ant is a simple creature, programmed with instructions that allow a hive of ants to manage armies, roads, farms, nurseries, exploration, hunts, and war. Likewise, humans are able to come together and form communities, nations, corporations, and religions. Compound intelligences with a vast, inhuman intelligence.

I believe that if knowledge and awareness create consciousness, then human organisations must be conscious beings.

Me plagiarizing myself a dozen times in an hour (I am making getter and setter methods for a class)

Wow, I finished the game 50 times? That's amazing, I had no idea. Guess time flies when you're having fun

I've seen plenty of situations where a DM wanted to run a different system but the players thought that sounded too hard and they only want to play what they know. In my experience, it's usually the players you need to convince. The DM is the member of the friend group who is the most open to putting in effort to begin with. The players are the lazy ones and therefore the most resistant to change.

What do you mean you don't like the show where a canonically asexual character commits statutory rape?

I think Ireland should join the United Kingdom and kick out England. Wales can stay if it behaves.

Haha yeah sounds about right. Matt Mercer doesn't understand D&D and it shows. But is it at least decent enough for the CR fans to give it a go?
