Spoilers for the outer wilds base game ::)
So, a star's light takes a REALLY long time to get to us, and the further it is, the longer it takes. So that means, if a star dies, then we won't stop seeing the light of that star until a LONG time after.
And, putting that logic into Outer Wilds, I realized that the universe isn't dying.
It's already dead.
The stars that are going supernova have already died, ages and ages ago. And the stars that "remain" when the sun goes supernova? They're actually just further away, the dying light not yet reaching the last remaining inhabitants of the universe.
And no, I'm not counting the Nomai that were seeking refuge from one of the only seemingly stable star systems.
Because they're already dead. They have been for a long time.
And doesn't that just make everything all the more lonely.
All the more isolating.
Specifically @cupcakeslushie @red-rover-au and @trubblegumm your aus have been absolutely delightful
