Super Smash Bros. Ultimate – New Content Approaching – Nintendo Switch

“I-I’m not a fighter, growf... But... I’ll try...!”

[[With Smash Ultimate 3.0 releasing, along with the ability to share Mii Fighters and Custom Stages online, I’ve released the Bangle Mii Fighter I made! If you want to go use her, you can use the ID provided!]]

In space they don't fight.

They don't hurl nukes, even though there's more energy up there than we'll ever have on earth. Bombs more powerful than we can comprehend - but they're bombs of creation, explosions of life. The universe realizes we can't be created or destroyed, so why bother trying to kill?

In space it's a matter of science - science we might not comprehend yet, but logic and reason nonetheless. The random smattering of gasses exist on their own, or work together to create something new and beautiful. There's no ego in space, no insecurity, no need to prove yourself- you just exist in perfect balance with your surroundings.

As I arose like the rest of you did this past week, hearing the news that once again my tax dollars are being used to kill my neighbors, I was reminded of Carl Sagan's quote from "The Pale Blue Dot".

"It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known."

I hope one day we as a society choose to follow Carl's words - we choose violence, and it's a choice we don't have to make.

Something I didn't really take to heart is how it really is more "acquiring data" than it is taking pictures. The more exposures I was able to stack, the more richly colored and detailed the milky way became. I still want to start screwing around with calibration frames next time, but for now I'm pretty happy with this.
