We are so small.
We delude ourselves that anything we do matters a cosmic jiff next to the enormity of space and time and elephants and giraffes and cranes.
Such is the arrogance of the longpig.
To put our relative tininess into some sort of context that you can understand with your video game-ravaged brain, here are 14 examples of, like, really big gaming hardware, yeah.

14. THE SIZABLE NES CONTROLLER COFFEE TABLE
She is smiling. Oblivious to her sheer insignificance in the cosmic dance. Delude yourself, woman. Distract yourself from the endless shadow that soon shall envelope all that you were. (PARKLIFE!)
13. THE HEFTY NES CONTROLLER
You may be grinning now, "Weird Al" Yankovic, but in time that grin will be as irrelevant as the dust on your gravestone. (PARKLIFE!)
12. THE JUMBO PLAYSTATION CONTROLLER COFFEE TABLE
We drink our coffee. We read our coffee table books. We think it all means something. It is nothing. It is vapour. (PARKLIFE!)
11. THE MAMMOTH NES COFFEE TABLE
We are not even footnotes beneath the enormity of eternity. We are illegible doodles in its margins. The meaningless scrawlings of single-celled apes. (PARKLIFE!)
10. THE PRODIGIOUS SNES PAD
They play their games, and they drink their ales, with no more influence on the megacosm than the flecks of foam on the rabid lips of dogs... soon to be licked away by the harsh tongue of perpetuity. (PARKLIFE!)
9. THE HUMUNGOUS ATARI 2600 CONTROLLER
We are nothing but The Architect's misconceptions. We are aberrations of causality. We are naught but chance occurrences, and thus we all shall vanish without trace. (PARKLIFE!)
8. THE COLOSSAL MASTER SYSTEM SOFA
We are bantams and phantoms. We carry all the weight of air, next to the hugeness of the spheres. Our protestations become our soundtrack. "Do not forget us!" we cry with futile effort... yet we are already forgotten. (PARKLIFE!)
7. THE CYCLOPEAN WIIMOTE CABINET
In our hubris we build monuments to individuals. We celebrate them with retrospective documentaries looking back at their careers. Yet they, like we all, are as inconsequential as the amoeba. (PARKLIFE!)
6. THE VAST GAME BOY
We dig in our heels for permanence, like a bird stood defiant before a crumbling dam. Yet all we face is nihility - washed away by the everlasting infinitude of time without yonder. (PARKLIFE!)
5. THE SWOLLEN GAME & WATCH
"I like big game," says the man, running his fingers through his carefully-gelled scalp. Ignorance, they tell us, is bliss. Pity him. Pity us all. (PARKLIFE!)
4. THE LIBERAL SPACE INVADERS BUILDING
And so we gather to destroy these ephemeral, electronic, digital motes, these "invaders from space". What is it we are really fighting against? The subtle tickle at the base of our skull that reminds us... soon... soooooon... all that we are shall be gone? Yes. Yessss. It is that. (PARKLIFE!)
3. THE COLOSSAL PSP BILLBOARD
This contemptuous monolith is a testament to the conceit of man. It is arrogance given form. Its meaning is scarcely the punchline to the grand cosmic joke: we are imperfections on the surface of a void. (PARKLIFE!)
2. THE COMPREHENSIVE XBOX ONE GAMING INSTALLATION
Sentience is to permanence as the wind is to the mountain. (PARKLIFE!)
1. THE HEFTY TETRIS OFFICE BLOCK
I would bid you farewell, humanity, but you are gone already... (PARKLIFE!)
