  • I think you would pick a north depending on your place of origin. Probably from either their own planet or, more likely, their own galaxy.

    But when you get to another galaxy you’d probably have to pick again. Galaxies aren’t all oriented the same way but they do roughly spin at the same speed. So, just like earth, from a certain point of view everything spins around the north south axle. But that does not have to line up to your home galaxy. And even if they did, it might spin the other way around. Much like venus spins in the opposite direction of the rest of the planets in our solar system.

    What I’m trying to say is that using a universal North is completely impractical for intergalactic space travel. So you’d probably use a local system. And where that’s not possible, you’d probably use your point of origin for orientation.













  • I talked to someone working at a game store (gamemania in the Netherlands). The stores also buy and sell second hand games. I commented on the amount of fifa games on the shelves and they told me the storage in the back just has massive stacks of every fifa game of the last 10 years or so. Apparently they will literally buy every functioning game you want to sell them.

    The chain is also close to bankruptcy, probably not related. But it’s a shame because I really do like walking through them and looking through the games they have. They actually have xbox360, wii and ps3 games on shelves.





  • Honestly I quite like it here. It’s obviously not perfect but when I compare it to other countries we do rather well.

    Honestly my biggest complaint is that it’s so full. I recently visited Norway and the vast forests and just untamed nature is gorgeous and the air quality is great. But then again nothing is really far away in the Netherlands so ups and downs.
