Hang on, I need to light up my clove cigarette…īoth Legion and life are full of events big and small that are, to a large degree, driven by random chance. And if all else fails, remember the immortal words of Han Solo, “Never tell me the odds!” So, next time you’re stressing over a game of Legion, just remember, you’re not just moving miniatures on a tabletop. Because at the end of the day, both life and Legion are better when you’re laughing with friends, even as your well-planned strategies crumble around you. It’s about the journey, the strategies you build, the allies you make, and most importantly, the snacks you share. Just like rolling a blank on an attack, life sure knows how to keep you on your toes.Īnd just like in Star Wars: Legion, in life, it’s not always about winning or losing. ![]() A flat tire on your way to a meeting or a sudden downpour when you’ve just washed your car. You’ve got your plans all laid out, ready for victory, and then life throws you a curveball. You might have to sacrifice binge-watching your favorite series to meet a deadline or give up sleeping in to hit the gym.Īnd let’s talk about the unpredictable dice rolls. Maybe you lose a few battles to win the war. Just like in Legion, sometimes in life, you’ve got to make sacrifices. Then, you’ve got the smaller tasks, the pesky Stormtroopers, who might not seem like much on their own, but can really mess up your day when they gang up on you. You’ve got your big tasks, the AT-AT Walkers of your day, trudging towards you, ready to blast you with workload. You wake up every day, look at your to-do list, and it’s like staring down a battlefield. You see, life, much like a game of Star Wars: Legion, is all about strategy. ![]() So you want me to compare life to Star Wars: Legion? Well, buckle up, folks, ’cause we’re in for a bumpy ride on this Star Destroyer. Whoah pal looks like you ran against the character limit for your opening remark, sorry! Here are the prompts, good luck Evan, you’ll need it buddy Wax poetic on the comparisons between life and Star Wars Legion… Wait, I just noticed you want to make me into a John Henry figure here? You know he d I’m going to win this because my brain is capable of coming up with new ideas, even if they’re really stupid ideas, while Transistor Trevor over there can only make whatever answer it deems appropriate after scouring the entire internet to come up with its best, “brightest” response. Here’s an honest statement from me to you: I’m not going to win this because I’m some amazing writer. ![]() The one thing the machine will never have is true creativity. And so it’s strange for me to say that my “hobby” job as a writer may actually be safer, as long as I am different enough from the rest of the writers on the internet. To be fair, I fully acknowledge that it’s possible (though it’s very unlikely, in my opinion) that a machine could do all facets of my day job as a physician better than me someday. I’ve been getting sick of hearing about how we humans need to just “get used” to the fact that AI is going to replace all of our functions one-by-one starting with our professions. Nah. I think that it’s because Jay, as a classic New Yorker, is eager to put me in my place as a “wise guy” for coming up with this idea in the first place.Īnd yeah, you bet it was my idea.
