"The Witcher 3, a game that could have pushed the envelope more."

5-6 hours a day gaminb, 1-2 hours a day writing about it is a strong model.
I'd be angry about losing such a sweet gig.

He couldn't even open a new 'box every day.
Destry has shown him up to be a fraud.
(breaks down in tears)
I'm sorry Keef, I didn't mean it.

Recently read sci fi that I recommend:
Hyperion, and the Fall of Hyperion
Earth Abides (haven't finished it yet but so far so good)
Anything by Iain M Banks
Anything by John Wyndham, particularly the Chrysalids
Recently read sci fi that I'm on the fence with:
The Fifth Head of Cerberus by Gene Wolfe
Ringworld by Larry Niven
The Stars my Destination by Afred Bester
Recently read sci fi that I wouldn't recommend:
Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. First one was ok, the rest of the series not so much
A Closed and Common Orbit by Becky Chambers

Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. First one was ok, the rest of the series not so much I am not angry, just disappointed. And also incandescent with rage. |

Recent Sci-fi I've read that I've enjoyed are books by Ann Leckie, best start with the "Ancillary" trilogy.

I enjoyed Ringworld, but it took far too long to get going, and I think I hoped for more from the ending. The main dude was also a bit sex-pesty |

Also:
"The second chapter refers to standard Earth gravity as 9.98 m/s2 (or even gives the unit as m/s [sic]), while standard Earth gravity is 9.81 m/s"
Massive immersion breaker.
