PCG: SO WHEN WE MADE HIM, AND WATCHED HIM GROW IN THE MIDDLE OF SKAIA PCG: AND AFTER ALL THE FIREWORKS AND FANFARE FROM THE VAST CROAK HAD SUBSIDED
PCG: I KIND OF FELT LIKE HE DIDN'T LOOK SO GOOD.
And this might be the most bone-chilling sentence ever spoken in Paradox Space.
The trolls rushed their session, ignored their Denizens, didn’t take their Choices, and cobbled together a ramshackle universe.
And that universe is sick.
PCG: I THINK I GAVE HIM CANCER.
CarcinoGeneticist. A death sentence for all that he created.
You win this round, Hussie.
PCG: I GAVE YOUR WHOLE UNIVERSE CANCER, JADE.
PCG: SORRY.
So that’s it, then. This universe really is fucked.
Whatever the Final Frog does, it’s capital-m Mandatory, and skipping it gives you the bad ending – the one where your cosmic progeny is doomed from the start. It seemed fine in 2009, but our universe is extremely young, cosmically speaking, and we now know that it's never going to see old age. By Exile time – a mere blink of an eye, really – it was all destined to fall apart. This is a dead frog croaking, and it always was.
Jack may be about to put it down, but make no mistake – it was terminal from day fucking one. Even as a young man stood in his bedroom, the cosmos was already beginning its death rattle.
...and every model got it's time...

Union Pacific 4012 at @steamtownnhs in Scrtanton, #Pennsylvania. It is known as a 4-8-8-4 Big Boy. It was built by the American #Locomotive Company in November 1941 and retired from service in 1962. The Big Boys were the longest and largest and most powerful steam locomotives in the world. Steamtown's #4012 is 132'-10" long. Twenty-five of these locomotives were built prior to and during World War II. It is one of eight of its type to survive. #pa #pahistory #SpreadTheHistory #nps #goparks #nationalpark #nationalparks #nationalparkservice #americanhistory #nationalparkgeek #travelblog #travelblogger #explore #blog #blogger #smallparksaturday #paspots #explorepa #scranton #scrantonpa #trains #train #train_nerds #trains_worldwide #railfan #rsa_theyards #FindYourPark (at Steamtown National Historic Site) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuuoD3zHdGe/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1o3qx07j9xgi7

A spiral in Andromeda
Not to be confused with our neighbouring Andromeda Galaxy, the Andromeda constellation is one of the 88 modern constellations. More importantly for this image, it is home to the pictured NGC 7640.
Many different classifications are used to identify galaxies by shape and structure — NGC 7640 is a barred spiral type. These are recognisable by their spiral arms, which fan out not from a circular core, but from an elongated bar cutting through the galaxy’s centre. Our home galaxy, the Milky Way, is also a barred spiral galaxy. NGC 7640 might not look much like a spiral in this image, but this is due to the orientation of the galaxy with respect to Earth — or to Hubble, which acted as photographer in this case! We often do not see galaxies face on, which can make features such as spiral arms less obvious.
There is evidence that NGC 7640 has experienced some kind of interaction in its past. Galaxies contain vast amounts of mass, and therefore affect one another via gravity. Sometimes these interactions can be mild, and sometimes hugely dramatic, with two or more colliding and merging into a new, bigger galaxy. Understanding the history of a galaxy, and what interactions it has experienced, helps astronomers to improve their understanding of how galaxies — and the stars within them — form.
