  • I see your point. Do you not think it is fair to say that there are mid range PCs at the 3 to 400 mark? I bought my pc for 500 around 6 or 7 uears ago and its only just showing its age. However most phones dont last 6 or 7 years without being crippled by more intensive software and OS updates or breaking physically or having their battery become useless.

    The pc is a better investment in terms of longevity at the same price point and is upgradable part by part. Unlike 99% of mobile phones.

    I think its a relatively fair comparison and to be fair to me i was only musing. I hadnt given it more thought than just improving the comparison off the top of my head.








  • I played destiny 1 to death. Loved that game and the expansions were all great quality and genuinely made the game better.

    Destiny 2 came out and i felt like it was over. I gave it a good go but the fun was just not there. The worlds were boring, the level or RPG from the outset was way too high. The problem they had was resetting the progress of players who had the first game down toa science and then dropping you in to a new game which is immediately massively convoluted with relic this, augment that, skill tree this, weapon mod that. It was too complex and gave me anxiety trying to work out what the best loadout was and then everything i spent time working out was null and void cone the next expansion.

    Destiny 1 was amazing. Destiny 2 was a dumpster fire.

    Similar thing happened to overwatch. 1 was addictive and rewarding. 2 was a cashgrab and not even close to what was promised.

    But in the vastness of space, it was practically guaranteed to happen somewhere. There are a set of criteria that allow for the evolution of life (as we know it) and it was going to happen somewhere, the fact that it happened here is no more awesome than it happening 3 galaxies over.

    I know the feeling you are describing and the words to describe what i am trying to say are hard for me to grasp.

    Its like in a film where the hero survives seemingly impossible odds and people watching say “no way, thats impossible” and can’t enjoy the film because its too unbelievable. I say no! This is a story about the one almost impossible time all these things happened. Thats the point. Yes its hard to believe, but thats what makes it awesome.

    So the earth being here and humanity and all other animals evolving here is just the time in the impossibly vast universe that the “stars aligned” and the fact that we are experiencing it is just expected.
