I'd love to see the legend of Tumble continue, but I'm also curious as to what the next game you'll play will be. Stay or move on I'll be happy with ether choice.

I'm loving this and would like to see more of the amazing tumble and his mech. I think it would be cool to start a colony or have other people like featherhoof play along with you. Oh! You could work on upgrading your ship.

This is totally news to me, bird. When were you in bands and on MTV? I knew you've been a musician but always thought it was solo work, sort of a hobby. People try to maintain the experiences they like, or look back on them so fondly, because those experiences brought them so much happiness. When someone holds on to those things and doesn't "get with the times", perhaps it's that the modern things of the current time don't bring them as much happiness, or maybe none at all. We are all a product of the time and place that we grew up in, so those experiences shaped who we are and what we like. The same goes for newer experiences that bring us happiness, because they contribute to making us who we are. A good example is the furry fandom, which didn't exist when I was a kid and I had no knowledge of when it did start up in a recognizable community. When I became involved in the fandom with my first trip to a furry con, it changed my life and brought me incredible happiness. It also did for my best friend, or so I thought. Over the years he showed less and less enthusiasm about going to cons, and that started to undermine my own enthusiasm for going to cons. I don't want to go with someone who doesn't actually want to be there, and I don't want to go alone. (How can I be alone with thousands of people? I'm antisocial, that's how.) I look back on those early conventions with great fondness and a desperate hope to get that enthusiasm back. I need that sort of thing in my life because the rest of my life is eat, sleep, go to work, repeat, with rarely any free time to do the things I enjoy, which also come from past experiences that brought me great happiness. I dread the idea that some day I'll stop going to conventions for whatever reason, or the fandom will change so much it's not really my furry fandom any more. Since the past is where most of us found happiness, it makes perfect sense when we want to return to it. BTW, I did get most of my commercially published music through Napster, and the subsequent Kazaa/Grokster networks. Some of them were very obscure and hard to find, not the flavor-of-the-month crap they play on the "today's best hits" channels. These days it's easy enough to find what we want on Youtube and download it as an mp3 or download the mp4 and strip the audio from it. As far as this game goes, I'd say if going through the ark portal results in the end of the main story and all there is left to do is general existence and exploration, maybe put a couple of episodes towards building a colony for yourself, and then move on to another game. You can always come back to this one for an episode or two in the future if you and your viewers are missing it. I find Starbound to be very endearing and fun, and it really pulls at the strings of my imagination for living in a time when there are teleporters, faster-than-light space ships, exploration of new planets, meeting new species and civilizations, and so on. It's really a beautiful game as far as that goes.
