Guess I’ll really have to work for being patient… Or I’ll just break down and buy it anyway at some point.

Same! Waiting for it not to cost 80$ Canadian… If it goes on sale for half, I’ll buy it I guess

So it’s a condensed version of Atlas Shrugged, maybe with a sprinkle of The Fountainhead?

You can probably get lots of ebooks with your library card, for free.

Miraculously it kinda worked for the fall.

Miles Tek does that in the later books, IIRC. strap a lasgun to a shield generator, instant pseudo nuclear bomb.

Edit: I guess the difference is that they are dropping the whole package, not just the lasgun.

Invulnerability AND all the guns? Sign me up!

You got to offset your offsets, man! 7:00, 7:06, 7:12, 7:18, 7:24.

I’m on my second battery, this has been my main personal computer (gaming aside) for over ten years. Maybe it deserves one more extension on life… I’ll think about it!

Oh yeah, mine lasts 30 minutes max, but for a home laptop that’s fine.

Eh, mine runs fine. Only thing that bothers me is the crap display.

Still using a t420 daily (not for heavy with though), and it’s fine. If you don’t have an SSD yet, that’s the first thing I’d change.

Montreal has excellent areas! Miss that city a lot.

Been using Ubuntu for gaming for 99% of the time for half a year now. Basically no issues, most of my steam library works out of the box with proton. It’s very doable now, no need to wait.

T420 here too! Added an SSD and threw on Ubuntu, gonna keep using it until it breaks. Which seems to be not anytime soon…

Loved Revelation Space! Also check out Blindsight by Peter Watts, it’s similarly weird and imaginative (and I think you can find it for free on rifters.com, the authors Web site).

That’s just normal God stuff. Doing his own son dirty like that seems special, though.

Not gonna lie, this is a bit of a let down for me.

Is… is Jesus balding?
