Finally home... it's 89* in my living room right now. I'm about to become a stat >< Be bold and risk defeat, or be cautious and encourage it.

I was in Corpus Christi last week and sweated more than I have in the last 49 years. It was 92 and 92% humidity.

At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a deterrent.

Speaking of universes:

Quote:
size of the playable area of No Man's Sky dwarfs our normal conceptions of the world so completely that it's difficult to actually comprehend.

When developer Hello Games talks about the number of planets that you can visit in the game, it's challenging to wrap your head around it. 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 really doesn't mean much when written on a page, even when spelled out as eighteen quintillion planets. It's just an absurdly large number that doesn't have any immediate analogue.

Of course, this assumes my hasty math is anywhere near accurate, which it probably isn't. Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER

The game programmers say you will find planets no one else will ever see, name things, and likely never run into another player unless you send someone your coordinates.
