What we wanted: Alpha Centauri 2

What we got: Civilisation in a $2 shop Halloween costume.

You’d probably like Prodeus, it’s certainly scratched that itch for me.

How isn’t it relevant? Large animals like whales make up a disproportionate amount of ‘wild animal’ biomass. But rats, mice etc will make up a sizeable proportion too while being human centric pests in much of the world.

4% is actually worse than it looks.

Presumably subway rats and other vermin count as wild?

The thing that I loved about Mass Effect was the characters.

Andromeda’s characters were straight up uninteresting or plain annoying.

ME3 was an amazing game up until the last ten minutes

It happily uses epub and not proprietary formats.

The only downside to my Kobo is Amazon’s walled garden exclusive books being unavailable.

He stepped down as CEO six weeks ago. Hopefully the new one can bring some process maturity to LTT.

You sure you didn’t buy a 5600X? It was released in November 2020.

If not, it could be a 3600X.

Luckily it’s Google. They’ll release it, half arse it for two years then cancel it without warning.
