I think all of these are a fantastic start that reach into different archetypes of fictional technology. Obviously all in the scifi genre but all incredibly different in style. Well worth the read.
I was reading that the devs specifically did a revamp to map the deep control scheme for the Deck. So the answer to your questions is most likely yes.
What’s really funny is that’s how socialised healthcare works. We all pool money together based on income and it goes into this neat little fund that ensures no person ever goes without healthcare.
Corporations like United Health can’t profit from this so they’ve been working and lobbying lawmakers in my country and others for decades to gut the public health and education sectors to cause more deaths and get a foothold for private care.
In my eyes this is a corporate act of war and should be condemned to the highest degree. Our forefathers died in trenches to prove our worth and ensure we could practice this social democracy. American terror organisations sow doubts in the minds of my people and poison the waters of meaningful progress.
There is calculable effect on the people of my country in housing, health and education because of these profiteering fucks. These predatory animals could disappear tomorrow and nobody would give a flying fuck.
Yeah, I guess I meant in the movie traditionalist sense. But you’re right. At the end of the day it’s fantasy so writers are gonna write.
I hope things remain kind of vague tbh. It would be fun to question if these cultists are infected or not or if they like… microdose the blood of the infected as a desth ritual or something. Toeing the line between being infected and sentient.
The bone structures really interest me. It also appears the rest of the world may or may not have recovered from the infection after the end of 28 Weeks. Military structure still seems in place as does tech advancement based on what the soldiers are wearing. Seems the UK is right fucked though.
I really can’t wait to see this series.
If I’m remembering right they’re not zombies in the traditional sense. They retain levels of intelligence. We see instances of the infected ambushing people, using their senses to actually track and route prey.
I wouldn’t be surprised if in the following trilogy we see that the rage virus has evolved further. It could be that there are death cults built around the concept of the virus being diving punishment or cleansing the earth.
I would watch 6 seasons and a movie of Emps and Malcador just sitting at a table pre-empire and talking about the Galaxy “My Dinner with Andre” style.
For anyone curious about Hachis Parmentier:
It’s shepherds pie but french. That is all.
Sunflower oil gang rise up!
Great cooking versatility, great flavour for fried foods, high smoke point, cheap as heck.
