I had a thought , which might or might not be related to this . The piano versions of modern songs like Fake Plastic Trees could be an audiometaphor for how hosts experience life compared to us . There is the same essential melodic structure , but no lyrics , guitar flourishes or sonic details that you can hear in the album versions . Beautiful in its own way but not the same . The hosts can ' t grasp those things in life yet that we perceive and take for granted . Does any of this make sense ? <| sep |> Haven ' t played in a long time , what did I miss ? Do we not have fusion cores anymore ? <| sep |> Wow you guys are fucking harsh . I would be way tighter with the player insults if I knew they were browsing . I ' d feel bad .
