        It’s certainly worth playing if you enjoy whimsical philosophical narratives.

          Excuse me? Whimsical? I did enjoy being a disco infused communism cop with a brain the size of earth that may have been addicted to every substance.

        It is a goddamn masterpiece and absolutely worth playing. I just finished playing it again after so many years.

    I’ve seen that guy! Kayaking down a lazy river and there’s a dude catching and cataloging turtles. Stopped to chat a bit. No idea how the hell he got to where he was. No boat, no roads near.

    Same trip I saw a couple of teens in the water around a bend. Waved at them, wait… WTF is that in the water? Whole ass horse comes busting out the river.

    SAME trip, we got to where the rednecks hang out on the weekends. It’s a little village of shacks wrapped around a long, slow bend in the river, super cool. Dozens of adults and kids playing around, and a 5’ gator standing on the shore, stiff as a statue, just staring straight ahead.

    I need to go kayaking this weekend.

    i once saw a biologist standing over a dying seal with a clipboard taking notes…
    it was just slowly gasping for breath, covered in some decay, baking in the sun…

    when i walked by again hours later, she was still there, looking amused…

            what i’m mad about is that you can divide by infinity and get zero, but you can’t divide by 0 and get infinity. make up your minds maths people

              Oh you totally can (as long as you’re working with implied limits, which you have to if infinity is in the mix), you just have to specify if it’s a positive or negative zero.
