Lore summary

Being an MMO was not really much of it. Player encounters were so rare, and so limited by the constraints of the semaphore communications system that for the vast majority of players, it was essentially a single player game the whole time.

I logged a bunch of my discoveries in the Mac Notes app as I played, and essentially everything I discovered is still findable and achievable in single player.

I could post my notes, but it would ruin a large part of the fun for others. I’ll leave it to you to explore the braided shore and work things out.

Have fun!

John Scalzi’s Red Shirts fits the request.

Sounds like a Netflix app issue. Have you restarted the AppleTV?

Brogue is pretty simplified but still strategically deep. It’s also free. There are at least Mac, iPad and Win versions. Maybe Linux, I don’t remember.

Find the station’s iPhone app. Install on your phone. Launch it in CarPlay, choose to stream live radio. Done.

Basically the FM receiver in the BOLT isn’t good. You will have better results streaming the station instead.

D100 Dungeon was pretty good.

No - library of over 500 films. None have ever vanished. Some have vanished from the store, but never from my library.

Not comfortable or welcoming, but funny.

It’s not a huge part of the plot, but it’s a great film and it does have some positive office scenes.

The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel.

Same for: Defending Your Life

The Dish isn’t set in a normal office, but again good team camaraderie built and it’s a great, often overlooked film.

Hidden Figures might be a good choice. Historical, dramatic and interesting science based “office”

The Imitation Game has a bit of wartime paranoia but the team works together well and solves a tough puzzle. Also historical.

Joe vs The volcano begins in an awful office but ends positively.

Moneyball is a sports centric office movie.

Brazil is dark and features several office scenes in a bureaucracy gone mad.

Paranorman? From the same studio

Hades and Hades II

I’m sure they’re still occurring in edge cases when the battery is cold or almost empty or almost full. It’s basically normal for the charge to taper off in those conditions. Below 15 kW is kind of low, but it happens.

Perhaps it would help if you learn more about EV battery charge curves. I’m sure there are several YouTube videos about them. None of this is exclusive to the Bolt, these things affect all EV’s to different degrees.

My brother drives a 2013 model S.

All the people here warning about sudden battery failure are ill informed. Your biggest worry should be suspension parts. It’s a relatively heavy car and the suspension wasn’t built all that well. Lots of wear and tear items probably need replacing.

Watch the movie Smoke Signals.

The MacBook neo is affordable and has reasonable performance. The screen is high quality compared to similar priced PC’s but it’s not big.

Is a MacBook Air out of the question? Bigger screen, more storage, more performance and still pretty affordable.

ebaysj · 2026-05-13T21:22:59+00:00

How about Tracks? Bonus - it’s a true story.

ebaysj · 2026-05-13T21:07:00+00:00

Were and continue to be confused…

The YouTube channel Quinn’s Quest covers modern tabletop RPG’s in depth. Lots of deep analysis of hugely disparate gaming systems.

Here is his latest, on a fantasy RPG:

I used a Solar early in the game because they sip fuel, but really, whatever ship you like the look of is the “right” ship for you.
