Well that is the ultimate goal.  Finding a case that has the aesthetics and features to satisfy your tastes and needs respectively.  AND is future upgrade ready to take on whatever hardware you might be able to get your hands on.  Because if you think about it.  Most people tend to stick with the same case and PSU for a couple of major upgrades.  You will eventually replace them when they break or when they no longer support the new hardware you plan to get.

Ya that makes sense. That is why "Just enough" is not good with the speed of how fast tech grows and old computer components become obsolete.

It is unknown at this point.  Akira Toriyama was the lead in DBS, but had a team of talent doing the bulk of the work.  So, who knows if we will ever see any more official content again.  I certainly hope we do.  The man and legend maybe gone.  But his work lives on in the hearts and creative minds of his fans.

If it does continue I hope it does not change the feel of it

And one more thing that's both a pro and a con.  Pro: Instant heat and cooling year round.  Con: Shorter range because of instant heat and cooling.
I never thought about that. Care to expand on that?

Absolutely.  The battery packs in fully electric cars can pack up to 600 volts.  And the design of them is to get as much power out of them as possible.  But in order to do this, they have to be cooled with an antifreeze coolant and pumped through a heat exchanger.  Like a radiator essentially.  And in cold climates, they need to be heated to keep the full power of the batteries available.  Extreme heat and cold will restrict / limit full power delivery and shorten battery life.  So, these cars are equipped with electric heating and cooling systems.  And temperature sensors in the battery pack will activate either system to maintain the temperature of the batteries.  Thus drain the battery if it's not on a charger.  Does that make sense?
Completely! Thanks for that! I understand now! Also I can't imagine full EV working in upper areas of Canada and imagine it will either be a dual system (which won't save money so might as well stick with current gas cars) or full gas.

Ya but usually only when the reviewer or the one paying the reviewer is looking to tarnish an image.

I can't argue with that.

Finding games that don't require a lot of attention but are good enough to keep playing to kill some time are rare.
