Bless the Maker and His water, bless the coming and going of Him.

The most noticeable for me are privacy /ˈpɹɪv.ə.si/ and urinal /juːˈɹaɪnəl/. I can't say I feel any of them are right or wrong, though, it's just a bit of colour in the language.

I haven't played a lot of them, but my favorite is Bridge Commander. I think it was super janky, but also very immersive, had actual voice lines by Brent Spiner and Patrick Stewart, and decent plot.

any chance it's overheating? did you clean the vents and checked the fans?

I don't think it's overhyped, at least I've never heard anyone hyping it up so much. I would be happy to recommend you other books if you want :)

I would suggest to play to your strengths. Java is still Java. Most of the progress since the 1990s was in the libraries and tooling, which only recently have become passable. The language itself also evolved somewhat, but there's nothing that you won't pick up in a couple of days of working with it.

Start with [1], work through all the boxes that are unfamiliar to you, practice a little on a pet project, or an open source project, and you'll land a job in no time.
