Ghost of Tsushima on the PC. 90 fps (most of the time) 4K.

The gameplay is really to my taste, so I am planning on playing this one for a while.

Absolutely. More spice

I mean, it opens the door to new kinks

Bang for bucks, ASRock is really good. I bought a mobo when the first gen of Ryzen came out and it is still rocking today. It supports up to Matisse series cpu. I paid like, 70-80 bucks back then. I had a lot of value out of it.

It is still living inside a home server and will be soon repurposed into an arcade cabinet.

It is by design. Pool a bunch of money, buy companies to bleed them dry. Wait for new companies to take their place, rinse and repeat.

Haven’t you heard about Raid Shadow Legends?

A shielded braid reduce the noise on the data lines and gives a better signal integrity. So it doesn’t increase the quality of the material, but increase the signal to noise ratio (SNR), which is very important for data transmission.

I want to be more mindful of the things I buy. I want to support local business first even if that means taking an hour or two to find something I like, instead of a few minutes.

It has a second benefit of filtering what I really need instead of what I want.

It is another small step to reduce my carbon footprint.

It’s normal to see some halo around a light at night. What isn’t normal, is to see a distortion of the light as depicted in OP’s image.

If you see that the light is distorted more on one axis, that means you have some kind of astigmatism.

I have a little bit of astigmatism and it is nowhere near what OP’s picture depicts.

I get what Drag is saying and I agree with that, but my nuance is that over time, that urgency would disappear. After a thousand heart break, eventually it becomes normality.

Drag is right that we don’t love a million individuals at the same.time, but over the course of immortality, it is not that much people.

Does Drag thinks that after 10-12 60 worlds dying, Drag would probably change how relationships are perceived? And this is what I am trying to clumsily convey. All of our thoughts are framed with urgency. But if the urgency isn’t there, is it far fetched to think that the frame is bound to change?

I want to say that I understand what Drag is saying, but I am offering a differing point of view. And to be honest, 10 years ago I would have chosen immortality in a heartbeat. Not so much now that I’ve (mostly) came to term with my mortality and I am much more afraid of immortality than of mortality.

I am not sure I get drag’s point?

My point is that the loss we suffer and grieve is still framed by our limited existence. In our life, if we are lucky, we have what? 15-20 people we really care about generally that will hit hard the day they die?

Imagine drag had a million of them. At one point, it becomes either extremely heavy to the point of insanity or it becomes the new normal. Even in our limited life, a lot of people come to term with the grievances of death.

Drag is right in the sense that we would become good at grieving. And that is exactly my point.

It would be the same when trying to meet Oprah 1000.0.

When time is virtually infinite, boredom for absolutely everything is bound to happen. And then what? Drag lives a boring life indefinitely. And even with a million happy years, it is still a tiny tiny tiny tiny percentage of billions upon billions of years.

I am still afraid of death biologically (we are animals after all), but I’ve come to term with death and I wouldn’t wish to be immortal.

I appreciate talking with drag, so please continue to do so if you want to continue this conversation.

You might not meet Oprah, but you’ll probably meet a thousand like her and you will get bored.

I stand by my point that the urgency is created by death and it is extremely hard to separate ourselves from that when we imagine immortality.

The death of your close friends and family will hurt. But after the 1 000 000 death of a close friend, you’ll either be crazy by that point from all the grief, or it will be another Tuesday.

It’s a philosophical point of view and like anything, it’s debatable.

Death create an urgency, and we cannot substract ourselves from that.

When we imagine immortality, it is framed within this urgency. You might think : well there is so much I haven’t seen. But by being immortal in the litteral sense of the word, at one point, you will have seen everything to not care about it anymore. Then what? You go interstellar in the hope of finding something new in a few millions years?

If I could live a thousand years, I would definitely be interested. But living billions of years with no end in sight? Absolutely not.
