Got any older memes pug?
How is that not great for me? Setting up a colony must be hard work and all around pretty horrible.
I think that’s exactly what one would be hoping for. One does this to escape the reality of human civilization and seek the adventure of building it over again.
It’s like a start up. Show up early and buy in on low stocks, work your ass off, retire at 40. I’d assume it’s something like that. Pick the best place to build your house, claim all the resources.
Or maybe he just wanted solitude.
it’d still be cool as fuck, i wouldn’t even be mad
Yeah, what’s the new civilization’s tech like? Bound to be more advancements than just travel speed. Do they have sufficiently fast FTL communication with Earth to keep up with the tech advancements?
There’s an HFY story where the guy in the slow ship became a tourist attraction for the advanced humans that beat him to his destination.
His bank account had grown to billions and they offered him billions more to keep it going.
“Hard” Sci-Fi stories making a big deal about faster than light not being possible but then treating pods that magically freeze and revive a human body for years as such a triviality that we invented them by 2004 or something in the timeline.
Sounds awesome not only you skipped the hardest part you have everything setup and get to live a good life. Unless of course that was your goal to experience building the colony.
You make it to earth and you forgot the historical reason why you avoid earth. It is a prison planet
Instant celebrity
Riffing on the meme
one of the, like 3, interesting quests in Starfield was based on that!
Interesting premise, shit execution, as is the case with every quest in starfaild
guess you didnt play a lot of quests then. lot of them have good execution, namely the vanguard questline
It was decent and has its moments, but it only works because starfield is a universe where phones with cameras and the internet don’t exist, and instant communication only exists when the plot remembers it’s not Fallout, which is not often. Secret military research? Believable. Said research getting out of hand and destroying a whole colony? Believable. Nobody giving a single flying fuck to said colony outside the questline? Weird. Not a single mention of repression and censorship about the event? Even weirder. Then again, after the terrormorph attacks New Atlantis, nobody gives a fuck (because cameras and phones don’t exist, nobody is asking about relatives or friends that are missing), not even the “TV Station”. After the damage is removed from the city, instant amnesia hits everyone.
This is the plot of a short story, Far Centaurus, that I read a long time ago.
I love how Peter F. Hamilton’s Commonwealth Saga (2004) opens up with this. But also funny how the inventors of the tech were such douchebags that they casually used it to just be there when the first mission to Mars landed. But hey, at least they didn’t have to do the return trip.
Oh that is absolutely brilliant. I never thought of that 😆
Hi, I’m a single mom of two little kids, and I’m writing this with a heart full of fear, but also a small flicker of hope.
I recently left a very painful and abusive relationship. I walked away with my children and nothing else — no home, no savings, no support. I’m trying to find a roof over our heads, a small, quiet place where my kids can finally feel safe.
Every landlord I’ve contacted asks for two months’ rent in advance — around $600–$700 each — and I simply can’t afford it. The total I need to even get keys to a place is around $2,000. Without it, we have nowhere to go. My children ask me where we’ll sleep next week, and I don’t have an answer.
I used to work doing nails and lashes, and I’m trying to rebuild. But I lost all my supplies and can’t even start earning without tools.
I’m not asking for much. Just a moment of kindness. Just the chance to create a stable home where my kids can sleep peacefully. If you’ve ever felt fear for your children’s future — you’ll understand.

If you can’t help financially, even sharing this can be life-changing for us. Thank you — from a mom who hasn’t given up, and never will.
What the hell is this crap
It got deleted so of course I NEED to know!
Some bot account claiming to be a struggling single mum and wanting donations 😭
