I dunno that Outlook redesign is fucking awful

I feel like this could be used to describe any tech company that “innovates” or “disrupts” an area.
Expect for the .410 gauge. That one is a caliber, because reasons
Admittedly I don’t play on Xbox, but yeah their console naming is baffling to me and I honestly don’t know/can’t be bothered to figure it out. PlayStation is simple. Bigger numbers equal newer. Pro version? Just a modest step up but still clearly identifies as the same Gen.
When Xbox launched the One, I thought, “oh they’re going to reset the numbering convention. It’s awkward now but will be easier going forward.” Boy was I wrong.
On the other end there’s Nintendo, but the names are so different and distinct it’s easy enough to distinguish (except whatever the hell Wii U was).
Microsoft seems caught in the middle. They clearly didn’t want to be like PlayStation, but they don’t want to/can’t come up with unique names, so you get just a mouthful of nonsense letters and numbers.
Honestly, Inquisition is the low point in the series to me. If it can’t clear that bar then Bioware may be toast. I’ve replayed Origins countless times and it’s truly a great game. DA2 isn’t a perfect game, and certainly shows signs of EA’s influence degrading the product, but I have replayed of numerous and still find it a fun experience.
Inquisition, I think I’ve only completed it twice, at most. But replays always seem to stall out for me. I don’t find the characters as engaging and the “open world” elements feel like something to be overcome rather than something I want to dive into and explore.
Honestly, I’d rather they go smaller and focus on well designed areas/missions/quests with fun and engaging characters. I don’t need a huge map from a Bioware title. I just want a good story, with interesting characters and difficult narrative choices.
Thanks for this. I’ve been looking for something to replace Goodreads with for a while now. Just checked out StoryGraph and it looks really good and was easy to port over my lists from GR. Liking the experience so far.
Mark Lawrence has several trilogies that fit into this genre. They’re fantasy books but the setting/universe is based on science fiction.
Series that I’ve read and recommend:
Broken Empire
Holy Sister
Red Queens War
I found them all an enjoyable mix of dark/grim fantasy with a good mix of humor. These series all tend to follow an anti-hero or in Broken Empire’s case you could argue it’s a villain protagonist given just how unsavory a character Jorg is. Even still I found myself liking and rooting for that bastard.
How are the rest of the books in the series? I only read the one. While I enjoyed it I did find it a bit dry and tough to navigate the jargon at times. Especially in the first third or so of the book.
It’s not recent, but Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy is very much the anti James Bond. It’s set in the heart of the Cold War. The villain is not a cartoonist figure bent on world domination, but is much more grounded in reality.
I haven’t read them but the Bourne series may also be of interest to you
I get what you’re saying, but the eating and the spiciness of the wings actually contribute to the quality of the interview.
Eating a meal with someone is disarming and contributes to the relaxed, ungaurded nature or his guests.
Consuming spicy food, particularly extremely spicy food or spicy food in great quantity releases endorphins which.
So while yes the eating/reacting to how hot the sauce is does interrupt the flow of the interview somewhat, it does help him get good/candid answers for his guests.
So while his research team is outstanding and he’s a talented interviewer in his own right. The hot wings do serve a role in the interview as more than a clickbaity gimmick.
