Same! I really do like scenarios that encompass crazy amounts of time and a lot of events. That's also part of the appeal of Diaspora and Children of Time to me; time scales that would be unthinkable to us fragile humans are quite normal for these beings (Citizens and Kern respectively). It is almost easy to forget in Diaspora that the whole adventure takes... billions of years, and even the first half takes thousands of years.
I feel like any human who would actually had to experience all this time (even if they have company and novel experiences) might go nuts, or at least shift heavily in identity or maybe even have an identity crisis.
Anyways, welcome to OAUP!
