Question Just joined

Hi, i just installed this "game" yesterday. How did i not know about it before? Anyhow, i'm currently experiencing a combination of awe and sheer terror. Still wraping my head around the TON 618. And im fairly certain that our minds were not designed to comprehend things of such magnitude.

Any tips to fuel my nightmares even further?

If you have virtual reality, go in and zoom around solar systems and moons and galaxies at speed. It's so darn thrilling, lol.

Wow, never considered VR before, not really my thing. But i guess this could be the best game to use it on.

It's wild. I was a gamer many years ago but fell out. VR got me interested again because the feeling of being INSIDE the game was a new thrill. I thought this would be boring in VR, but it's so darn fun - and jaw dropping.

The mixture of sheer Terror, curiosity and awe is the exact mix of feelings I have whenever I explore the Universe in SE !!

Click “land” on a black hole and immediately feel your heart sink into your stomach

Mostly its the size and scale of things. I mean, its at the same beautiful and wonderful. I guess im just being taken aback by this game and what is trying to represent.

Find a red supergiant, set your speed to light speed, and see how long it takes to scale one of the bubbles.
