I posted it not for Amiga related content but because an Amiga.org member was on the show and I thought people would like to see it. I did not for one minute think this would cause any controversy. I better think twice next time!

Also, how would a forum thread know what a person can afford or not? :)
We all have different incomes and obligations.

Dude should also stay away from any threads related to upgrades, since one way or another they pretty much all involve spending money. :lol:

Yea, not much about Amiga in there, though the scan-through the room they showed shows maybe three. And what's worse, Leo asked me about an ST! :-) Well, ST Joust _is_ a good game (and it's now ported to Amiga ICYMI). :-)

Yes, it didn't occur to me to post here for reasons paul1981 stated. I appreciate jdryyz posting since I've been around here as a light poster for around 15 years.

Actually, the whole thing blew up larger than I would've guessed. I wrote the $4K No Man's Sky post on my ByteCellar.com blog to address some of the hate that has surrounded the game. Kuchera saw it and approached me to agree for Polygon to run it as an Op-Ed. I agreed and it was notably edited for brevity vs. what's (still) at my blog. Leo's TNSS producer saw it on Polygon and asked me to come on the show. The fact that I have a retro computing passion wasn't at all part of any of it other than background info I provided going into the show. I didn't feel I could branch to far off to discussing retro as the show was live and that wasn't the topic.

At any rate, No Man's Sky -- it's awesome on a PS4, don't need a PC to have the fun. I encourage folks to check it out. And, I will say - whether or not it matters - AmigaBruno, a large chunk of the $ spent there was funded by what sadly came to me in the way of inheritance in my mother's passing last year. She was there watching me sell one system and get the next, helping along the way, all those years in the '80s and '90s. I don't think she would mind too much helping with yet another computer. :-)
