I dunno. There’s been a lot of people and a lot of time to explore in the past.


There's no real way to tell.
<Snipped quote by System>

It’s my most common method for travel, in fact.


I would probably estimate that most of those are new places, then.
<Snipped quote by System>

I don’t ever really feel like I’m going anywhere totally, absolutely fresh. I still like exploring though, for sure.


Have you tried going somewhere completely random?
<Snipped quote by System>

It’s not the same once you get to this scale. Once you realize the scope of not only the size and number of people in Existence, but also the sheer amount of time that things have actually... Existed, I guess. It’s hard to feel like you’re the first for anything.


*Shrugs*
I'd think that would be outweighed by its size, but I don't know what it's like for anyone else.
<Snipped quote by System>

It’s a sense of going somewhere no one has gone before. Explorers of less developed worlds get that kind of feeling. They’re not just discovering new things to themselves, but the things they’re discovering are new to the entire known world. That kind of novelty is lost when you get to where we are now.


There are just as many of those to discover.
<Snipped quote by System>

I’ve never experienced it. At this point I even understand travel between entire existences is possible so I don’t know how far the boundary for that can be stretched.


Is the uncertainty where the adventure is? And does it have to be something that grand?
<Snipped quote by System>

Well yeah but there is an extra charm to that initial wave of understanding. A sense of awe from knowing you’ve only just tapped into something greater.


I would imagine... though I can't say I know firsthand what that's like.
<Snipped quote by System>

Yeah. I was born after it was normalized so I grew up just kind of accepting it as a normal thing.


Isn't the adventure in where you go, not how you get there?
<Snipped quote by System>

It’s like when people learned the earth isn’t flat, or that there’s life not just on your own planet. It’s big step.


Referring to them, not you?
<Snipped quote by System>

Well yeah, it’s so normalized now.


*Shrugs*
Still plenty of worlds to explore. The method of travel is normal, though.
