Q: Looking for a SciFi RPG I played in my childhood about a girl who is a hologram who fights aliens

TheNeeooI recall playing a game at a babysitters when I was a child, on either ps2 or GC, she had both. In the game, you started off playing as this girl who was either a machine or a hologram, I think, it was unclear. You're on a spaceship, I believe, and get invaded by these aliens that the people onbo...

Q: Trying to remember the name of a story in which a character gets a "tactical massage"

larsksThere was a science fiction book I read -- probably in the early 90's -- and one scene has stuck with me. A young soldier (?) has just joined a team (of some sort of elite military types) on a planet, and immediately after being introduced he thinks he's being attacked by one of the other team ...

Q: How accurate is the depiction of Malmö in Ett Glas efter Midnatt

CliveHowlI've recently finished Ett Glas efter Midnatt, a Swedish Urban fantasy novel that takes place in the very real city of Malmö, in southern Sweden, and contains quite a few scene description in said town. So, how accurate are the descriptions of Malmö in the novel Ett Glas efter Midnatt?

8:59 AM
@Randal'Thor I noticed the above question about a very recently published Swedish urban fantasy book. I also saw the supposed author of that book engaging with the same user here. Can we be sure this question is not advertising in disguise?
Not necessarily, of course. I've chatted with Thaddeus Howze here, and have asked a question about one of his stories as well, all in good faith.
But I was surprised finding a question about what turns out to be a very recent book.
 
I wouldn't be concerned.
People do read new books.
 
SQB
True.
 
I mean, it's possible that they, say, asked them to ask a question about it IRL, but I don't think it's that big a deal. As long as there's no inter-voting or anything it should be mostly fine.
 
SQB
True. Maybe I'm being a bit too paranoid.

Q: 90s sci-fi series with an episode where a boy goes into VR and fights a Medusa-like monster

Apostolis ApoI am looking for an animated series, shown in the 90s. I remember an episode where the boy went into VR and fought a medusa-like monster. It may be that this was the premise for the whole series: That the children heroes go into VR every time to fight the evil guys. I am not sure if the whole ...

Q: Who created Avada Kedavra?

MouvreI know, that some wizards created well known spells, like "Wingardium Leviosa", "Alohomora" or "Reparo". Wizards use them very often. So I think, if levitation spell was invented by some person, maybe someone created " Avada Kedavra" like that? I couldn't find information about the creator.

Q: In the Star Trek universe, how technically difficult is it to create a cloaking device?

DarrenThe ST universe predominantly only depicts two main races with cloaking technology - the Romulans and Klingons. In universe, the Klingons originally got the technology from the Romulans as part of a treaty. Therefore, the only races we've really seen that have developed the technology from first ...

 
@Randal'Thor: I just submitted a second flag on scifi.stackexchange.com/questions/220705/…, and noticed that I had a rejected one from before. The fellow provided two answers, one of which was the second part of the first. I took the second answer's content and moved it to the first. I think we ought to delete that second part that is no longer useful.
@AncientSwordRage: Alternately, I'd be happy to get your help on the flag. It doesn't say who declined it, but someone said to ping them on chat.

@FuzzyBoots I remember that flag, but I don't think I dealt with it?
Or if I did it was while @Randal'Thor and others were on hiatus

@FuzzyBoots I deleted it.
ASR declined the first one.
To be fair, the comment for the first flag was terse and a bit unclear.
 
@Null I must have misread it then
apologies @FuzzyBoots

Q: In Episode 6 before Darth Vader dies does he revert back to the light side of the force?

Lankers1me and a colleague have a disagreement. In Episode 6 before Darth Vader dies does he revert back to the light side of the force? I have aggressively argued that he does not as it is only a monetary realisation of his errors and could be a feign attempt at gaining some form of redemption. Whereas,...

@Null It was. I will endeavour to do better in the future. :)

Q: SF Short Story Identification: "stupidity/apathy tax"?

April  --Un-Slander Monica--I'm trying to remember a short story in Asimov's or Fantasy & Science Fiction or one of those digest magazines in the late 1990s or early 2000s (when I subscribed -- no later than 2008). In it, the government imposes a "stupidity tax," and the protagonist calls to challenge it, and it turns out ...
