State of the Game

Higher dimensions without bottlenecks would be plain useless waste of yyyy spacetime(?).

I mean, what's the point of expanding yourself to higher realms, if this was missing there?

what makes you think you can expand yourself to a higher dimension? unless you already are composed of a higher dimension thing... you are not going to spontaneously grow some means of expanding into it. Any more than a circle can spontaneously become a sphere if it wasn't already a sphere being viewed as a cross-section.

But then we have particles popping in and out of existence - seen from our space - but eventually they are just moving normally in a higher dimension.

a. thus far, particles that pop in and out of existence exist only in the math of quantum mechanics. That math may or may not actually reflect reality.

b. Nothing in that math requires that behavior and their existence to be dependent on anything more than the 3 dimensions (and time) that we have in our universe.

Hmm... If I had to give reasons to "why?"...

Because I always felt like perception or reality I experience through my whole life is unnaturally limited to me (whatever "me" may be).
I feels...
Like I was watching the REAL world through a single, possibly most narrow slit.
Like I was only looking at ONE of endlessly diverse perspectives on the current moment, missing all others (although I had chances to switch between perceptions in real time on some occasions).
Like I was only following ONE of endless amount of MY timelines, slighlty feeling the others, even had some episodes of "glimpsing" to alternative paths for very short moments.
Like time is NOT what it officially is:
Like choices are (sometimes) not really "made", but pre-calculated. Mine and those of people I encounter.

I can't count how many times I have been NOT concerned by some event that SHOULD/COULD probably have ended badly for me, like I knew deep inside it's nothing to worry about, although afterwards I could not find any propagation path of information that could make even my subconsciousness able to predict the actual inprobable and disturbed by some "random" external interruption/influence course of actions.
Sometimes I say things or make decisions that seem erratic, random and illogical, but they turn out absolutely coherent and optimal in RETROSPECTIVE, when I already know what I could not have known in the past, when it happened, even on subconsciousness level (e.g. because some other unrelated event happened later that made sense to my earlier action/statement.

EDIT: HODOR, HODOR, HODOR ;)

Well, I could go on, but it became TLDR already ;)

EDIT: I don't consider myself "unique" because of that.
Most of people I get to know well enough to have some honest talk about "bizarre" experiences have quite a few stories that are not really fitting the current model of reality (linear time, sensory-only propagation of information between people)

I donated my blood earlier today. I feel light in the head still. I didn't even try :D

Did you get a free biscuit as well as feeling a bit high for free?
Joking aside, good on you for donating.

Haha, my brain wanted to escape through back of my head.
And I mean it literally - this topic triggered some psychosomatic sensations :)

I'm still scraping mine up from the carpet. Haven't worked out how to get it back in though yet...?!
 
As a friend once recounted to me, many years ago... Heard on a bus...
Two passengers discussing something unpleasant that had happened to one of them - one advises the other: "Be philisophical, don't think about it"
As said friend was studying in the last year of an essentially philosophy based Degree, she did manage to not deliver a lecture on "how to think clearly" at the time - I got it instead... which was unfortunate 🤷‍♂️

Don't.
You will prove our brains are actually some kind of theatrical prop only.
Actually reality is remotely projected interactive VR prank.
And it's even officially confirmed because sometimes admins get sloppy.

Here they have missed a guy they should have shut down, because he actually lost 90% of his brain
but still lived normally.

in other words, a 5d being would be under no different evolutionary constraints than a lower dimensional being assuming those dimensions can support anything that would be recognizable as life.

at least not from the scenario where environmental constraints of scarcity and limits are fostering evolution.

So no difference in time to evolve or whatever. You know, assuming a higher dimensional being would even experience time seeing as how time is so intrinsically linked to movement in 3dimensional space
4 dimensional, we perceive reality in 4 dimensions (minimum...there is some argument there)

well, that makes no sense at all. If you could be defined as more than you are currently, then you just become a different you ...still defined and limited to you. Leaving you in circular reasoning.

circular reasoning is a sign that you're wrong.

they're called eyes. They are narrow, and they (along with your other senses) are all you have to experience the world around you.

Like I was only looking at ONE of endlessly diverse perspectives on the current moment, missing all others (although I had chances to switch between perceptions in real time on some occasions).

until we develop into the borg, that is the limitation of our means of communicating with other sensory centers (people).

Like I was only following ONE of endless amount of timelines, slighlty feeling the others, even had some episodes of "glimpsing" to alternative paths for very short moments.

more likely there is a synchronization problem in your neurons that are giving you the feeling of sensory data arriving at different times that your brain is having trouble properly recombining into something that makes sense.

Like time is NOT what it officially is:

well that would depend on what you think time is officially.

i think officially, there is still quite a lot of unknown about the nature of time ...however mathematically it's simple.

free will is not out of the realm of being false. But generally, believing that is the realm of people looking to justify doing horrific things.

oddly, such intuitive prognostication never seems to result in anything worthwhile that can be proven or tested.
 
I don't know how to make it, but I do know where to get it around here. Mostly, that means local mom'n'pop Mexican restaurants.

Not much help, I know. :(

A few things I know is to make everything from scratch. Ground meat, pico de gallo, cheese, sour cream, jalapeno or habanero sauce depending on how hot you want it and refried beans if you absolutely must have them. I'm not overly thrilled by the beans, but it can be pretty good. And make sure to heat the taco shells.

Edit: Your mix sounds pretty good, by the way. The only thing I'd add to it would be sliced, pickled jalapenos/habaneros!
You forgot the plutonium...
 
just give it a good enough try - let's say 50 hrs played - and just go with the flow of the game, follow the tutorial at first to the point where you discover the anomaly space station, explore it and speak with the inhabitants - from that time on you can basically choose a path or switch between paths or just do your thing. I liked to learn about the alien languages for example - for that you need to follow the search for Artemis path for a while, which is offered in the anomaly space station. So I spoke to a lot of aliens in space stations learning words from them and testing my language skills from time to time with some of them. Over time they got really impressed with my efforts and granted me technology and upgrades. I learned to find stuff, which I can offer them as a gift and some offer me something in return as well - often sometimes quite valuable stuff.

There are so many ways in which you can have fun - in the later game I will most likely install a couple of farms and as well a research facility (I got several applications from alien scientist to work at my base, if I just create a workplace for them). you know, that is entrepreneurial activities, exactly that what I need, I can have plantations, research facilities or use tamed animals to fuel my bioreactor with their feces, I can ride them eventually, airborne, on land or under water. There is an incredible amount of ways to enjoy the game and it opens up when you have tried it for long enough with an open mind towards a different game play than that of ED. It is all what EDO could have been but isn't.

Before I forget it - try to start out on an icy planet - the colors there are not as vibrant as in other places.
Temperature protection- falling.... :)
