I'm a bit undecided about this episode.
Stuff that I liked:
Stuff that I didn't like:
The rulers in the palace could remember, though (because of the shielding provided by some metal). And the workers/slaves remembered enough to perform their tasks.
@exscape @ValueSubtracted @UESPA_Sputnik Spoiler alert, please!
This is one of the earliest Sci-Fi themes. See: Nightfall by Asimov (1941).
I thought they covered it well in the ep. (Write things down, write things on YOURSELF, etc).
Hm, considering your instance name, are you reading this on Mastodon? I've not gotten the hang of how federation with Mastodon works, but I'm reading/writing this on Kbin, and the post is on Lemmy, in the discussion thread for the latest episode, where spoilers for that episode are assumed to exist without warning.
In any case I apologize if you were spoiled by my post, but I'm not sure how to improve things in the future TBH.
@exscape @ValueSubtracted @UESPA_Sputnik Yes, I'm reading on Mastodon. Interesting, I may have to stop following the lemmy hashtag. Federation is a fun idea but apparently doesn't work quite right.
Trying to avoid particular pieces of information is a tough problem for a federated network to solve.
