It’s the 80’s. If you want something rendered in real time, this is the best you’re going to get. Be happy there’s a beveled edge.

They boldly discovered mass media and a large part of the net.

MidnightBanjo,

So this might make the borg less threatening, but I feel like it would infuriate these explorers. ‘What do you mean you don’t want to talk to us anymore’?

hakunawazo,

It’s like a genre mix of Star Trek and Minecraft.
So in combination:

I was thinking more ‘cardboard box,’ but an actual cardboard box didn’t look right to me.

Damage,

They left the texture on the other side of the transwarp conduit

thezeesystem,

Why am I so fascinated with it, it’s so warm, makes me feel… Happy? I must study it more. The cravings of it are getting out of control, I have to make a golden cube sculpture. With anything around me. Even dirt. Praise the cube. Hail the cube.

I feel as if spheres are more boring than cubes, especially in space. The universe is filled with spheres; not so many perfect cubes.

FlyingSquid,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, but the spheres are usually pretty interesting.

Anticorp,

Spherical spaceships are harder to build. The Borg are all about efficiency.

And the Boring are all about keeping the sides straight, but if they tell you why, it will take three hours and a lot of math.

The sphere is the most efficient use of volume in space. Rectangles are only convenient for humans, and the Borg should not be concerned about convenience.

If the Borg were really about efficiency, they’d build spheres. But spheres are more boring, which comes back to my original point.

Anticorp,

It’s a lot easier to make a flat steel i-beam than it is to make a curved steel i-beam. Who knows what their manufacturing process is though. They probably just 3d print those things, or grow them out of nanobots, and then my point is moot.

aniki,

This is what happens when the Borg assimilates too many tiktok moms.

Shut the fuck up, Wesley!

Lath,

We are the bored. Your memes will be assimilated. Resistance is down voted.

Makeitstop,

The Central Bureaucracy. Resistance is futile. And so is compliance.

Tolookah,

that sand block is falling
