And anyone else with a complaint to lodge will complain about how soft sci-fi is always baseless space magic everywhere, so fuck me right?Same for me basically. What I don't like about too hard sci-fi is that, in it, everything is always fucked.
I enjoy grounding things in reality but I get variably liberal with things for the sake of keeping everything cool and interesting.Just like the original serious RP plan.
I guess our civilisation not turning into a highly corrupt place or a futuristic dictatorship just isn't realistic.
