I have a feeling it has more to do with low production cost than anything else sadly :/

What's so messed up to me is that the implants I design, inactive pieces of metal, are required to be operable for the life of our longest living patient PLUS 20 YEARS. Yet somehow as soon as electronics are involved they can get away with this. How long until pacemakers or insulin pumps need a license to continue functioning?

This is why I have an issue with privatized medicine.

I'll definitely give them a listen!

I also need to recommend, as you seem to be a brid of my feather, using audible and a kindle together to trade off between daytime story listening and nighttime reading in bed. I know Amazon is evil, and there are a lot of issues in particular with audible's payment structure towards indie authors, but God damn do they offer a compelling service. I picked up a new-gen Paperwhite last prime day and my bedtime routine and travel bag has been irrepreably changed.

I'd love to hear more about what you've been listing to!

Edit: I didn't make it clear above but Amazon will track your progress between the audiobook and the Kindle book and sync them.

I'd like to add the audiobooks are quite good for those who listen! They're a very fun series (I've "only" been through the first 6, quite a few more after I checked.)

Huh. Seek help.

Unfortunately the only cameras that still use 35mm for sale on the market are point and shoots and leicas as far as I know. There is definitely a great variety of tested and we'll maintained cameras for sale online.

Color film was, and still is, considerably more expensive than black and white. Probably just what they had in their camera!

Also most news papers didn't swap to color photography until the late 90s, so if it's a reporter it's likely they had black and white film

Exact opposite! I know the language was flowery there but I basically never eat Huel/Soylent anymore

In my experience none of them taste great, but if you make them part of your daily flow you get over it pretty quickly. I've heard good things about the newer pre-mixed and flavored ones, but I got to a good place with my nutrition a few years ago and stopped using pretty much all meal replacements.

The day the twin towers went down.

That's almost exactly the difference. Mechanically, they are very similar with some expanded interactions and a bit more player agency. It feels more like playing d&d than ever before.

The SCOPE of the story is on an entirely different level. I've only played the first 10 hours, but I've done so almost 4 times, and each run through has felt >70% unique. Choices have weight, options are meaningful and plentiful, character interactions are some of the closest I've felt to interacting with other players in a turn based RPG.

Is it going to shock the world like Elden Ring and Breath of the Wild? No, probably not. It does show what can be accomplished by a great team of driven writers and programmers who actually care.

Definitely worth a try if you can pay the entry fee.
