They had this at the screening I went to. I wonder what they’ll do for the home release version?

I saw it hoping this was the case, but sadly it’s just not very good. I loved the visuals, the ambition, and his commitment to try and breakout of traditional storytelling methods, but the ham-fisted handling of the subject matter really ruined it for me. By all means see it for yourself and be your own judge but I wouldn’t go in expecting an underrated masterpiece.
We’ve been using QGIS at my company for almost 8 years at this point and I really love it. The python integration and deep plugin repository render it head and shoulders above ESRI. Although I admit for enterprise solutions many will still require the turn-key solutions esri offer.
Got to speak with a guy who was stationed there over the winter. He said of the ~15 or so winter staff it was mostly engineering types, with the majority of the scientists there just in the summer months. Seemed like a pretty cool (heh) gig, but not too surprising that there’s a dearth of linux machines imo.
I completely agree, and in general working with email programmatically sucks. MIME is a mimefield.
We unironically do this with people looking to get temporary working visas in Australia. It’s wild.
I think there is a stark distinction between “really fun” and “one of the best games ever”. This list contains almost nothing which pushed against the barriers of gaming either now or in the past.
Some really weird picks here. A few standout bad takes:
I’ve had more than one person I work with take screenshots of their desktop, paste them into a word document, then attach the word document to an email to get me to help them with their problem. This has the same energy.
I agree but my friends keep facilitating my addiction because I always give loaves away and now they’ve stopped buying bread too. Help 😭
Holy shit I’d completely forgotten about this guy -memory unlocked. Thanks (I think)!
The Sparrow by Mary Doria Russell comes to mind. A Jesuit priest is the only survivor of a first-contact flight to an alien world and returns horribly disfigured in mind and body and refuses to talk about what happened. We slowly learn what happened to everyone as the story unfolds. Great SF novel and not religious, although it explores religion.
At least not for another 20 years or so anyway.
What a great read, thanks!
I took a bus from Mendoza to Santiago that went down this road. Was pretty crazy at the time but still way less sketchy than the buses going through Bolivia.
For the most ethical of people going to business school. Everyone else lied.
His name Is Tony Abbott for anyone out of the loop.
You’ve got be joking right? The most influential, most loved, most well regarded fantasy trilogy of all time is not a good story actually? I get that it wasn’t your style for whatever reason but to call it bad storytelling is just asinine.
Lot’s of really good recommendations here already. One series I don’t see discussed much is the Acts of Caine series by Matthew Stover and I think it’s exactly what you’re after: shit talking, badass, tortured anti-hero in a deeply depraved and corrupt world with copious violence and sex and a deep and well written story.
Each of the 4 books is self contained but they are worth reading chronologically, starting with Heroes Die. The audio book is also fucking terrific.
