Where is that mentioned? I don't remember it from the books.
It was basically the first of HBO's narratively complex, multi-season, ensemble cast, adult shows. Its success paved the way for shows like The Wire, Boardwalk Empire, and Game of Thrones which were all massively influential in their own right.
- Lost
- The Sopranos
- The Simpsons
The thing for me wasn't so much the game choice but the placement. It feels like they took a big bag of 100 of the best games and randomly picked them out one at a time. If you start to ask is Y really better than X on this list then it starts to make less and less sense.
Smart Audiobook Player +1 such a good, feature complete app.
Really? I'm super curious what made you feel this way. I have to say I was pretty underwhelmed by it compared to Flanagan's other series'.
100% agree with you. Loved the first half and was really let down by the 2nd.
The only other show that's given me similar vibes to the 1st half of Frieren was Violet Evergarden. Not so much for the content but in the melancholic, beautiful-yet-bittersweet vibes the whole show gives off.
I think that show greatly benefitted from the limited runtime though and would have suffered if they'd tried to push it out to Frieren length.
Not my favourite but Sleepaway Camp is an absolute classic of so-bad-its-good 80s horror with an unforgettable ending.
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.
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.
Absolutely, there is sooooo much more content now and the balance and QoL is tonnes better too. Still recommend using the wiki late game though.
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.
