Last time I was in a customer service job within the last few years, I heard dumb college kids and dumb high school kids all the time saying shit like "lol" and "cringe" and "based" and "irl" and "omg" and shit. These are words you can pronounce nowadays. People do unironically say these things. It hurts, I know, but they do. The server's age requirement is 18, not 40, so admins should stop discriminating against it.
The game takes place in a very distant future, I believe.
you have activated my TRAP CARD
1. people call back to old shit ALL THE FUCKING TIME right now, we still have morons who call back to the 50s as a golden age or some shit when it is 70 years ago at this point
2. our lingustics, art direction, and other assorted shit are all 20XX tech and tech inspired and design inspired.
3. half our station players nowadays are references to 20XX anime catgirls, and most these people have literally no RP to their character other than "im a cuddly bubbly catgirl owo"
4. if you want to make a case that linguistics have evolved then
we wouldn't even be speaking English! in fact, we don't, galactic common is some incredibly fucked up combo of random parts of romanizied japanese iirc codeside
this means that we're viewing the language translated into our 2020s English,
NOT as the 2550s Galactic Common.
therefore, we can logically conclude that these concepts from the 2550s Galactic Common would be translated to their 2020s English counterparts! The very concept of cool in 2550s Galactic Common may best translate to "based" in 2020s English!
