What's realistic about using blue rocks and green gas, that can be found in abundance on just about every rock in the known galaxy, as a universal currency for the entire universe that is not just valuable, but equally valuable to three entirely different races that are designed to be as disimilar to each other as humanly comprehensible.
I'd talk about how central and fundamental these elements have been in the design of so many other things, but I'm too distracted by how bizarrely nauseating it feels beholding the sincere discussion before me as if anything in it has anything to do with anything. I know I'm just wasting my breath, but tf do we know about realistic currency and trade systems? I think we should take a moment to try and realise just how unrealistic "real" money is. Starcraft may be total bull, but it can't hold a candle to the ways in which our very own society "works". Real life would make the most fucked up game of all with the most fucked up economic system that is so colossally fucked up that the human mind isn't anywhere near creative enough to fathom just how fucked up it is to any significant extent.
Please understand nothing in this post is personal. Regardless of my personal opinion on things it's not like I'm any different from anyone else, and I'll probably join the conv later as if nothing's wrong, but I just wanted to get this off my chest.
