    lesbian vampires is a cliche as old as the hills

    I think people have even read it into the brides in the original Dracula

    Did you read Carmilla? Predates Dracula and has an obvious lesbian/bisexual vampire who you feel sorry for.

    I liked it.

    Herbert wrote a kickass submarine-thriller called "Dragon of the Sea".

    it's set in a post-nuclear war world where an western sub is sneaking into enemy territory to steal a load of oil

    all with the crew going slowly nuts being in a dank metal tube for weeks on end, sneaking past enemy patrols and such
    What you think "makes sense" has nothing to do with reality. It just has to do with your life experience. And your life experience may only be a small smidgen of reality. Possibly even a distorted account of reality at that. So what this means is that, beginning in the 20th century as our means of decoding nature became more and more powerful, we started realizing our common sense is no longer a tool to pass judgment on whether or not a scientific theory is correct. - Neil Degrasse Tyson

    There's not really a tech tree in XCOM so much as a bunch of shit. You can optimize stuff and whatevs, but honestly? Just go for interrogations to get bonuses then research that thing. There's generally not a path that's gonna make it super easy/super hard.

    Also buy all the satellites you can forever and ever.

    Le Fanu's Carmilla was about lesbian vampires.

    In order to not come out (which I do not want to this year) I will have to wear something to bind me a little, a shirt, and something ELSE over it that will cover any straps that might show.

    Fremen from Dune, right?

    I thought it was well known that they're really heavily based on Muslim tradition?

    No I knew that, and it was part of why I loved the book/overarcing storyline so much.

    But I always thought he'd done an homage to Islam -- not a straight rip. I mean, I don't hold it against Frank Herbert per se, but god damn Frank.

    He spent quite a bit of time over there as a reporter. A biography I read of him years and years ago suggested (and who knows how true this is, it was one of those that come out five minutes after the person dies) that one of his original plans for Dune was something even more directly allegorical, like, set on Earth in the very near future with Americans and Russians fighting over the remaining oil.

    And yeah, the Fremen religion is intended to be a direct descendant of Islam, albeit after several thousand years of Telephone-like distortions. One of the sects in the book follows the teachings of the "Third Mohammed." I think we're meant to figure out who the first one was.

    With the ecological allegory + the commentary on cyclical revolution/tyranny + the economic commentary (ie. spice ~= oil) + the cultural commentary (ie. Fremen staying Fremen, going back to the desert, etc.)...

    There was a lot of subtext going on in Dune.

    there is also the - Herbert says it wasn't deliberate, but I think it was certainly convenient in 1967 - coincidence that the spice is a powerful psychedelic drug

    Shivahn, mind if I ask where you're going for camping?
    I am comforted by Richard Dawkins’ theory of memes. Those are mental units: thoughts, ideas, gestures, notions, songs, beliefs, rhymes, ideals, teachings, sayings, phrases, clichés that move from mind to mind as genes move from body to body. After a lifetime of writing, teaching, broadcasting and telling too many jokes, I will leave behind more memes than many. They will all also eventually die, but so it goes. - Roger Ebert, I Do Not Fear Death
