Too big! Yes! I remember the good old days when phones were phones and “Note” is a big phone which is slightly smaller than tablets.

Nowadays every fucking phone is a fucking brick. A small phone today is as big as those “Note” variants.

Hard agree on the not enough aliens. There could be regions of space where as soon as you discover radio, you discover and join the interstellar community. If a region of space is dense and densely populated, maybe via a panspermia event that seeded the region, it could be that as soon as a species discovers radio waves, they become aware of the interstellar chatter, all the signals generated by all their radio-capable neighbors, engaged in a continual conversation spanning light-years and millennia. some worlds transmit introductions and translation guides at intervals, some only transmit noise or encrypted signals. Some transmit for a while and then fall silent. Most of the traffic is for intraplanetary use whose broadcast is incidental, which serves as an autobiographical record for that world, to their neighborhood. The neighborhood watches world conquering empires rise and fall from a distance. They see the worlds that talk themselves into nuclear war and then go quiet. Some resume transmitting after some time. Some individuals or groups maintain correspondences over millennia. Some of these correspondents are worshiped as gods.

Instead we get crickets. 1/10 would rather be in the galactic downtown.

I also seethe about how spread out everything is ngl.

I mean… I can’t say he’s wrong…

It’s too big

Fair enough, some people prefer smaller phones

Too many stars

It’s overhyped? I didn’t know that, but good to know

Not enough aliens

?

Everything’s too far away

???

Oh

I was expecting an explosion joke

Dude, have you seen Andromeda reviews ? We got it good.

… I am letting everyone decide if it’s about the thing with Kevin Sorbo or Mass Effect, or whatever other one I might not know.
