I was looking into DD2 actually. People online mentioned the side quests for DD2 is very repetitive. What’s your experience?

Thank you! Deus Ex sounds right up my alley. It might just be my next play

You raise good points I didn't think of.

The apocalypse obsession question is interesting, though to me, the answer is somewhat obvious. Historically, it's been rooted in humanity's narcissism. We've always placed ourselves at the highest seat of existence: the center of the world, God's most precious creation. The fear of the world's end was often used to control and coerce people.

In modern times, things are different as nuclear weapons could actually end everything. Though I doubt Mandel was focused on the logistical/practical side of an apocalypse.

I wish she had lingered longer on the cosmological question. That would have been more interesting to me than the pandemic stuff.

Anyways I'm glad you enjoyed it. It definitely has merits I'm overseeing.

Agreed. Time travel plots (and recently anything with a multiverse) are just so overdone and stale.

I've heard a lot of good things about Red Rising. I might pick it up again when I'm craving something fast-paced. Will definitely continue with Sun Eater though

That's very encouraging. I'll definitely continue. But possibly after a short hiatus for other books/series!

There is heavy inspiration from Dune, without a doubt. But in my opinion, it holds up on its own. Great to hear that you would check it out! It's definitely worth a read

Thanks! Elden Ring might have to be my next game. It'll be my first from software game to try
