- Razengan 8y agoEver since I played the awesome old RPG called Planet's Edge [0] and the better-known Star Control II, I've been taken to muse about cosmic coincidences. Popular sci-fi like Star Wars or Star Trek etc. don't really touch on those possibilities in a convincing way. As in, very few fiction truly conveys the ..indifference.. of the universe, and all the actors in it going about their own businesses and interacting only incidentally, even if to monumental consequences to each other, but without a lot of conscious intent or an overarching plan. Kind of like how most of Earth's history has played out, even if it may all seem interconnected and purposeful due to the much more relatable scales involved.
