What a lot of wasted time

Well, I've actually seen a TED talk which was about the mathematical background of love. From my perspective it is an adaptive process which attunes pattern in both brains to each other which are interpreted by both as beneficial - it is questionable if that is a conscious or subconscious decision - i tend to assume it to be subconscious, where the conscious mind creates a rational reasoning after the fact for something what has happened by other reasons. So to me that is a complex adaptive process too.

it is a bit like falling in love is much different than people think it would be - it has 3 triggers - affection over a longer time, it takes for him to see the white in her eyes quite often during that time span and trigger 3 is her voice - it doesn't matter what she is saying, her voice is the trigger and he needs to hear it often - bang - fallen in love.

this is as well why women talk so much and men don't really listen to those words - not necessary, hearing her voice is the important part. And as well why lovers look so much into each other's eyes - he needs to see the white in her eyes - that is a very old mechanism - from all primates just humans have white in their eyes.

So you say...but actually it’s a 90’s dance tune by Haddaway 😁

Well, my partner and I are both bio-informaticians - it's part of your profession to think about stuff like this - how the brain works, what consciousness is and so on. We will be together for 10 years in May this year - so no worries, mate, all good.

....probably not the thread you're expecting, it's not supposed to be a click bait title - I just couldnt be bothered to waste much time trying to think of something better as it is still apt.

I've just bought Odyessy on Steam and whilst checking it had all gone through OK hit 'manage my DLC.' It seems I bought ED in Sept 2015 and Horizons in Jan 2018 and as I didn't start playing until Jan 2018, when I quickly upgraded to Horizons, I'm left feeling like I cheated myself of over two years of playing. I've got 5000 hours :eek: since I started so maybe it's a good thing as going by that rate I may have spent an entire year of my life in fake Space!

So, that title....wasted time not playing or wasted time not living? Yeah, think I'll leave that one unanswered.

I think you only wasted 2 years of your time not playing ED if you just sat there staring at a blank monitor for 2 years, doing nothing else. Obviously you didn't and got on with your life in whatever other activities you did. So I don't think it's wasted time not playing ED.

Only you can decide what you do with your time and only you can decide if anything you do is wasted time or not. Others can have opinions of what you do with your time, but that's all they are, Opinions.

We don't know how the alternative time line would turn out - wasting time here might be a win, if the other time line would for example be like going out, being hit by a car and be dead - than it was life saving and not a waste of time - but we just don't know.

I didn’t expect a throwaway comment/thread about not realising I’d had the game for two years before playing it would end up in a discussion touching so many points, from love, time and how to fill it, sausage production and even including old Haddaway singles.

Its been fun reading through. Ladies, gents, rascals and ratbags....I thank you. :)
