        If that’s the tutorial quest I don’t think I want to see the final boss.

      Lemmy just hit a new high today. As I came in to post this, I found it as the top comment. Very old-reddit! Good job.

        Yeah it’s getting better. The top hour, 6 hours etc. has helped a ton too.

        Old Reddit would have an expert as the top comment instead of a joke. That’s something to strive for.

      Huh? What was that noise?

      Seems like merging galaxies. It’s too far away to be a single star being eaten by a companion. (It’d have the six-sided star mirror artifact if it were closer.) And galaxies temporarily form weird shapes as they merge

      Just speculation but it would be totally plausible for a helix shaped galaxy or star (possibly being pulled into a black hole) oriented from an odd angle, with either a gap or a cloud of some sort blocking one part of it and it just happens to look like a common glyph.

      But I’m no starologist

        Could also be two or more systems colliding with each other. Similar to this

        I wanted to guess gravitational lensing, but couldn’t see how that would make a question mark… it’s still pretty cool!

    Looks like we’re about to unlock a new galaxy.

      If they look just a little further they’re bound to find some galaxies smeared into the phrase “WE APOLOGIZE FOR THE INCONVENIENCE”

    That message was sent specifically for us. Like, “We’ve been watching your civilization for the last 50 earth cycles. WTF?”

    It’s a collectible. You can get the new dlc free if you collect 50 of them

    Growing up I really enjoyed the Riddler episodes of the animated Batman series.
