I always plug Scavenger’s Reign. It’s a a sci fi survival show about a set of people who get stranded on an alien planet animated kind of like a graphic novel. The creators used a bunch of nature documentaries as inspiration to create a truly alien and interdependent ecosystem, but the theme tells you everything you need to know about the tone.
Also, animated sci fi comedy, The Venture Bros
If you’re cooking with peppers remember to wash your hands BEFORE you touch your junk.
Or, I am both proud and ashamed to say, you can douse that fire with heavy cream.
Fallen Order is a decent game. Not a super immersive story in my opinion but overall it’s good, if a little railroaded. It kind of feels more like a disney production than a fleshed out game. I don’t remember being intimidated by anything for very long and mostly found certain enemies kind of annoying to fight. Although the Vader sequence at the end is simply great. Survivor in my personal opinion is much superior. The story is more engaging, the enemies vary more, the bosses are more dynamic, and they expanded just the right mechanics. They really figured out how to get you to choose your battles and it scales well with upgrades (although I did choose to fight until I beat a rancor at the very beginning that was clearly meant for mid to late game). It plays a lot like Stellar Blade if you tone down the anime stuff and tighten the combat to a looser Sekiro.
If you don’t mind skipping some story, you can go into Survivor and then treat Fallen Order like a prequel. And if story is a big factor for you, it’s worth just powering though.
My VA doc recently told me they’re planning to reform mental health ratings to “account for those that can hold a job” and that they want to revisit including medication and symptom management in decision determination.
Absolute regressive madness
Ann Leckie is such a great author. I recommend the Radch to everyone who asks for a book
I had a boss that did this quarterly meeting where he’d schedule two full days to review everything he heard piecemeal once a week and it always ended up taking 3 and a half days. It was hell and we all hated it. The whole office had to sit in it, no one got any work done, and most of us fell asleep. No decisions were ever made and it was just to give himself the feel goods about telling his boss he knew what was going on.
Horrible boss. The running theory in the office was that he hated his family and didn’t want to go home
I had no idea, it just keeps getting better
