That's cool, though it's really obvious that Dark Souls 2 takes place in the same area Dark Souls 1 took place in, except far, far into the future.

I don't think I've been reported. Maybe me and a few others were reported for turning a thread into a spiderman thread but I really have no idea.

The bit about harnessing star power, is that really a thing?
If we could do that, surely we'd have nigh infinite energy.
Yes, nuclear fusion. We haven't got it yet, but we are well on the way to it. We would have had it sooner, if it wasn't so damn efficient. It's likely to be a thing by the end of this century. Nuclear fusion would be able to sustain us for millions of years if we only used resources on Earth.

We aren't special.
The universe did, does, and will do everything he mentioned. Hottest temperature at the start. Coldest at the end.
We are the universe, in a way, so perhaps everything I just said is pointless. But the fact is we have done it, and the universe that isn't us likely won't do it until its heat death.

We aren't special.
I would argue that on the scale of the universe in the manner he's talking about, we aren't. The universe did, does, and will do everything he mentioned. Hottest temperature at the start. Coldest at the end. Starts endure for an almost inconcievable amount of time. All of our achievments are small and short lived, almost nothing when compared to the clockwork design around us.
But, we are special in that we create. We have the capacity to reach out around us and alter the world based off intangible thoughts that have roughly no physical form. In essence, through nothing, we create something. And we are special in that we're alive and that we have a little more rattling around in our heads.
No. No one is special in anyway.
I doubt the existence of beings in the universe that closely resemble humans, or our way of thinking. We are unique in that way. All individual organisms are different in many ways, when you get down to technical terms.

Sure, there are bad people in the world, but us humans have done some amazing things.
We have created the largest elements in the universe, far exceeding the powers that the nuclear furnaces in stars use to make all the elements before we came along (sans Hydrogen, Helium and Lithium, of course).
We have created the hottest temperature since the Big Bang, at 5.5 trillion K (which, with it, we successfully created quark-gluon plasma, a subatomic soup and a unique state of matter that seemed to be only possible in the very early universe).
We have also created the coldest recorded temperature in the universe.
We are able to master the powers that stars use to burn tirelessly for billions of years.
We are a complex bag of chemicals and elements. One that has gained self-awareness. Feelings. Thoughts. Dreams. Hopes.
There may be other life in the universe, but we are truly something special, doing things that the universe has never done.

I love the night sky.
Specifically the Winter night sky.
Summer stars are too warm and the moon isn't as vibrant.
The cold stars and bright moon, that's a sight that amazes me.
Clear summer late evenings you could consider almost the best. The moons light blocks out a lot of light from stars. Summer is the best time for seeing our galaxy, as well.
We don't really get sights like that here and it's Ireland, so summer isn't a great season.
Winter is reliable though, I can always get beautiful views of the stars.
I'm in Ireland too, but you can get pretty good views of our galaxy up in north Fermanagh, during the summer. If you don't want to go looking for it, winter is the best, though.

Well, technically, most of the stuff we see is still around today. You'd need a powerful telescope like Hubble to actually see the distant points of light that are long, long dead.
But on that subject, I'm going to talk to you about supernovas. Because, quite some time ago, in ancient Japanese history I believe, in their records, for a period of about two weeks, there was no nightfall. Eternal day for two weeks. The only recorded supernova in human history, ever witnessed.
And at that point the original star was already dead.
So, today I'd like to talk to you about Betelgeuse. This is, for some reason, the only star I remember. Probably because it's the star I first learned about beyond our own. In the middle of orions belt, a great red supergiant, impossibly enormous compared to our own little star. This star is what sparked my fascination with the sky.
And this star is dying. It might even be dead in fact. Because astronomers have been watching it. And in fluctuations in light, they can tell, that at some point in time, Betelgeuse was going through it's dying stages. So, sometime, in the near future, the second recorded and viewed supernova will be seen by human eyes.
And for that I am happy. To see the light, of a star, from 430 light years away, something so enormous and powerful, a light so bright that from 430 light years away we'll have a period of no darkness, because a second sun will be in our sky. The after image of a dead star.
Imagine that. In death, so much power is released, that from that far away, even across all that space and that void, light will shower us like a second sun. And, in a way, it's sad. Because that's the last I'll ever see of that star. That will be the last light I ever see, from the middle star in the constellation of Orion the Hunter, a constellation that has been known to human kind for centuries, a constellation that has been known to me, for approximatly 17 years of my life.
All those years, all those millenia, that the super red giant Betelguise endured, to finally wink out of existance.
A moment, so small, and so precise, that had I not been born at the time I was, I might not be around to see the death of it. I might not know about it to appreciate what my eyes will see.
But there's a funny part to it too.
I'll get to watch the final moments of this star, the last light it ever produced, pass me by, before it winked out of existance. Very much, like my life. You burn bright and proud, and then, like a candle, you blow out in the dark.
But in both regards, you leave something behind. For a star, it's the power and raw fuel to bring to life more stars. And with your life you leave behind your actions which will shape the future to come. Shape the lives of countless people around you, give life to fond memories, to good days, to smiles and moments that can never be replicated in time again.
Very much, like the last light of this childhood star of mine.
I'll miss Betelgeuse too, but current estimates predict it will go supernova within 1 million years. It will be clearly visible in broad daylight. In the OP, it was really referring to stuff like the Hubble deep field. Those galaxies formed shortly after the big bang, and are probably long gone by now.

One from my friend:
If you stand on Jupiter, is the big dipper backwards?
We won't know, because there is nowhere to stand on Jupiter.
Wrong

I love looking up at the night sky and thinking about this. Our sky is not at all what the universe looks like. Millions, billions of those points of light don't exist anymore. They burned out and died before we were born. Before our species was born. Before our planet was even made. And there are empty patches of blackness that in reality have stars that were born at the same time, but their light has not yet reached us. And in those deepest, blackest, emptiest patches of night are uncountable diamonds of light, winking in and out of existence that we'll never be able to see. And out there, somewhere and some time, there may be another life form, staring up at the sky, and seeing our point of light. Or maybe, they're far enough away that we are nothing but the darkest patch of black away.

Some guy in Dark Souls kept analling bruising me. He kept using the dried finger to get me back into his world the second I tried to invade another world. At first, interactions were friendly, but I started using rude gestures at him, because I was tired of being raped.
It then spiraled into a shit flinging contest over messages.

I was tempted to tell someone to turn off the escalator we have in the store so she could walk to the second floor, burn off some damn calories.
Do you fine folks have any good stories about fatties to share?

Make sure you drink some sunny d!
I had to google that 'cause I don't think we have it here in Australia
But I don't like oranges. Like at all. Make me wanna throw up
If you get to America don't drink it because it's just awful sugar water.
It's in the UK too.
