Anybody have good #SciFi recommendations for stories that depict Earth and human civilization post peak population? Not due to a catastrophe, just a peaceful demographic slide to <1 billion people, because we had fewer kids. A surplus of aging infrastructure, & nature filling in the gaps. Seems like it would be a good candidate for the "cozy" sci-fi genre @molly0xfff talked about recently. #Books

"I reeeeally wish I had an electric car, or roads, or an EMP right now. On the plus side, I don't need a gym membership, and the war-haze makes for pretty sunsets!" (Neofeud 2 work in progress) https://store.steampowered.com/app/673850/Neofeud/ #indiegame #gamedev #adventuregame #retrogamer

3D-printed, modified Star Wars DLT-19X heavy blaster rifle is mostly complete! Major paint touch-up is done as of about 10 minutes ago. Next up is a ton of small paint touch-ups all over and then I do some weathering test pieces before I move onto that stage.... And it will theoretically be finished at some point, eventually. :)

Zoie Palmer gives such a fantastic performance as the Android in Dark Matter. She absolutely masters the glassy expression and terse but diplomatic speech pattern you'd expect from a digital personality in 2015. I wonder if Siri was a source of inspiration for her portrayal?
Melon Husk is more Alex Rook than Tony Stark. Rook really shows his true colours in s02e09. Monomaniacal sociopath.
