ds9 is best trek imo. the double fake identity twist is just silly enough that it somehow feels conceivable, even with the cosmetic surgery angle. i don’t know that i’d take a plot like that seriously in anything other than a star trek story lmao

depends HEAVILY on the eye. some folks are really good at eyeballing shit. usually this goes hand in hand with other “visual calculus” skills like telling whether two things are the same size or determining angles at a glance.

reckon it’s just spatial reasoning + visualization + practice. i had an uncle who could look at a mechanical system and tell you exactly where all the wear would occur. i always thought it was some kind of savant trick until i started working on similar stuff.

the brain is just another muscle, you can train it to so all sorts of really amazing things!

hilariously more drugs can also help, heavily depends on your brain and your current relationship with drugs

i actively avoid texas whenever i have to drive cross country. i’ve gone as much as 4 hours out of my way. every time they threaten to secede i hope TO GOD they go through with it.

goddamnit i have to do this now.

e: ok so instead of caramelized onions i have a smattering of diced onion and jalapeño, fried in olive oil with a small amount of mostly burned parmesian. it’s sweet and spicy and bitter, and i’m going to make it into an ill conceived grilled cheese + peanut butter.

god give me strength.

i learned about crosscode recently, and i could tell from just a few gameplay snippets that it’s a game i’ll spend a lot of time with. at full price it was only $20, and i’m more than happy to support the devs.

their next game, alabaster dawn, looks really nice so far too.
