I suspect that even narcissism has its limits over gigantic amounts of time. Perhaps they would create beings in sub-universes to interact with? Interact may also include create and destroy; just to entertain. Also, is there a known neurological brain-fuction that generates boredom? Perhaps an Uber-Being with no such neurological modulus (or its non-carbon analog) would ever get bored?
