I am viewing from intention as written, when written for the films. It seems plausible that "Darth Jar Jar" or something similar could have been an original, but abandoned intention.

They like sharing spots.

Is there some secret internet community of Willie haters?

Cool story, now get in the fucking robot.

I know this a joke theory (mostly), but given how much Star Wars rips from classic scifi works, I think looking at the Foundation books makes a good case for this being viable as more than a joke.

Lovecraft's stuff has that reputation, but on a listen through his works, he had a tendency to actually be properly descriptive when it was appropriate. I think it's a case of later, lesser writers gloming onto to making things indescribable as a lazy crutch that made the reputation of the mythos like that.

I think only 'The Unnamable' by Lovecraft really goes incredibly vague at a point where it should be describing the creature, but that story feels like a joke about this exact topic.

Michael Shea's mythos stuff is pretty good I think. 'Demiurge' is a book collecting all his stories. He updates them to the then contemporary 1980s, keeping the elements of cosmic horror but putting them in more modern and relatable situations rather than attempting to make them period pieces.

Tom Clancy has entered the chat and has started describing a submarine engine. Please help.

It's very heavily inspired by the original Fallout game designs. Very heavy on having lots of types of character builds and options to complete quests. I'm probably going to restart soon because my first character wasn't a great build.

No but they are both in my wishlist. Right now I'm playing Colony Ship, which is coincidentally about a generational colony ship, but the game itself is an RPG.

I was never great at RTS games, but I always liked expanding my base. I'm happy at the expansion of the "colony builder" subgenre which scratches that itch to make things and is more exciting than a SimCity type city builder, but isn't all in service of combat like an RTS.
