The 4D salmon: what's an outside?
Ok im sold, how do build my life around this mystical thing?
There will come a time when the distribution of 4D salmon will take the universe to equilibrium of mass. That is what will cause the universe to collapse into a big bang. The roe will cause uneven distribution pushing gravity to create stellar structures until equilibrium is once again reached. This is not a series of season but a continuum of spawning. We can only have faith in the now. Our purpose is null. In our insignificance we can choose our values. We can also not choose because whatever we are or were is not always true. The self is fleeting. Only the 4D salmon are true in theirselves.
Sorry, we only worship crabs here. This here's a crab town.

Insano game idea:
2D platformer... but its actually 3D.
But the third dimension... is time.
...somebody has to have done something like that already, right?
Braid and Prince of Persia, kind of?
Braid definitely has a large section like that, and a great final stage.

The first half of the game plays kinda like a tower defense game, except there is one peculiar enemy that just appears, disappears, and multiplies strategically (eventually forcing a loss), then it switches to you being that character with time-control... complete with seeing previous threads (your own character) sorta like adding another unit each time you rewind time.
Holy shit, the idea of enemies that also have deft control over time itself did not even occur to me.
Oh god, that could be baffling to try to concept and balance, oh man, but if you could, dang, and you sound like you've got a simple enough in basic concept, bounded enough... but so many possible things within those bounds...
Run with your idea! I like this!

Like a certain alien species from The Xeelee Sequence?
Edit: woops wrong series. Does anyone know another series with an advanced alien civilization that sends themselves back in time to give birth to themselves? It's right before the heat death of the universe due to another alien species that lives in stars.

The One Salmon Universe Hypothesis!
Just want to say. The Narcissist Cookbook has some banger music. Don't know how to really describe it, it's like a fusion of Folk, Spoken Word and Punk
Here's a Spotify link if y'all are interested
His latest two albums are a connected concept album and they're some of their best work yet
Anyway fan rant over
reading through your old notes can be a wild ride sometimes lmao
I just read through a little notebook that I keep by my computer to write down thoughts, lists, things to remember, etc. every now and then and came across this nugget:
Hermano = brother
therefore
"Herman" = "bro"?
also,
heavy metal band name: Dark Pontifex
