Does thinking about the long dark make anyone else feel like they are going to vomit?

The chances of me living long enough to actually be effected by it are so slim that I'm completely unconcerned about it.

And if you could live so long it would invalidate basically everything we know of physics. So the long dark wouldn't actually come.

Depends on what you mean by living.

I do like how you haven't ruled it out yet.

I don't know, I thought it was pretty fun.

Nope, I think humanity will be long gone by then, so it doesn't really matter what happens after that.

More like head spinning, like when you look at the stars are you loose your reference frame

Why’s that? If humanity presumably nearly couldn’t be around then?
