What do you think of the industrialisation aspects in Tolkien’s Legendarium?
Yes, I think today, SciFi / Space Fantasy works best to directly reflect current situations and dangers. It can naturally be constructed in a dystopical way and used as an example for a bad future.
For typical High Fantasy, imo it is way more difficult to pull something like that off, because it is usually closer related to our historical past. For topics like racism, discrimination or other social aspects (life during the plague?) it can still work nicely. But I agree, it’s a delicate matter to not “overdo” it and ruin the escapism.
There are so many kinds of Fantasy, and all art imitates life in one way or another is what I’m saying :)
I think Fiction in general, not just Sci. But regardless, it always depends on the degree imo.

That sounds more like depression to me?
But in my ADHD experience: I’d think of 1000 fun things to do, but do some minor hyperfixation thing(s) and then it’s 3am and I did nothing I should have done or actually wanted to do 😵💫
And don’t get me started on legacy spells. That Merlin guy was so chaotic 😮💨
Down with Ulfric, the killer of kings!
What task?

Wow interesting! But did you get the shirt in the US, or was that somewhere else too?
I find it really fascinating that this shirt clearly meant a lot to someone, so they kept it all these years, but then still decided to get rid of it, yet without just thrashing it, AND then even in a different country/continent!
(I hope they didn’t just forget it in a hotel, which then decided to make a few bucks…)
CaptainBlagbird@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•I have this t-shirt. Who's tour was this?4·16 days agoThe first date on the back is Halloween, so that’s clearly where the inspiration for the design comes from.
I don’t think you’ll find anything directly on the internet. The most promising approach would probably be to find a wedding registry in Buffalo NY and then look for October 31st 2009.
Boston and maybe even Essex could have been for visiting relatives/friends (or they initially met each other in Essex and wanted to re-visit that place too?); Qatar might just have been a layover for flying to the Maldives where the honeymoon finally took place. (Maybe November 28th was the last day and they decided to print that in order to frame the whole journey with start and end dates.)
I found the same skeleton on this T-Shirt: KKUP Radio 91.5 FM The Grateful Dead Marathon 2013, I can’t find the original artist, it could be that this was a stock image that was readily available for T-shirt printing.
Just send them memes in random intervals
Same for humans. We’re invasive too and shouldn’t be allowed outside.

My ADHD swings the other way, each tab uses more of my personal brain RAM, and thus decreases my overall performance.
