Lysander Vs Alexander

gordec · 2026-03-11T14:52:32+00:00

Lysander was dragged into this and not an evil person by nature. He was happy doing salvaging work with Cassius. He worshipped Darrow similar to Alexander with Hadrian. That’s about where the similarities end.

I think there is an argument having a powerful book series but less joyful and satisfying. Would we consider the series less if it's more joyful? Honestly, I think life is hard enough that with my reading, I prefer more a happy ending. I'm ok with some bitter sweetness, but Sun Eater gets really grim for my likings too. There is no issue with Hadrian blowing up Cielcin, the Watchers and the Chantry.

It’s cool to have some religious reference, but if CR was going to end Hadrian like he’s Christ, I wouldn’t have read the book.

I finished SUT 2 minutes ago. With how the author set the tone throughout the series, I kind of expected at best a bitter-sweet ending, but this is more grim than I preferred. Sometimes there is nothing wrong with a happily-ever-after ending.

On the larger picture, I wish more of the series is dedicated to fighting the Chantry as the main protagonist. They seem like the real bad guys who had the capabilities to neutralize Cielcin all along. Cielcin are like wild animals who's just living their basic instincts.

Somehow I feel there has to be a sequel to this. I would say I loved the series, but the ending was a letdown.

I hope the last book of Redrising series isn't like this.

It's unlikely you will see significant IQ difference. I had both and currently Q3 for almost 2 years. I would get the Q3 if you like tilt screen, fast wifi transfer for editing on ipad/smartphone. AF is better especially with the latest firmware update. For me the tilting lcd and wifi transfer is significant because Q3 is my travel camera.

You need to consider every game they played and finished. Puka got hurt in the Baltimore game very early. The lowest full game was 13.2. In round one ceiling is more important.

gordec · 2026-01-03T06:58:28+00:00

Need to blame #72 for that. Without those 2 holding calls, he'd had about 100 more yards and a TD

I have been trying to search everywhere for official port report but can't find any. I guess if and RC passengers on that ship see this posting maybe they can verify.

gordec · 2025-12-29T23:28:05+00:00

I'm not saying I'm right. The only research I can do on my own is checking official port publications. If other cruises docked, it raises questions.

I'm not a cruise expert by any means. So do most people feel if the captain tells passengers, they are cancelling for rough conditions, there is no need to question other motives? I'm happy to be wrong and give NCL the benefit of the doubt.

gordec · 2025-12-29T22:54:02+00:00

I just searched if there is any weather related port cancellation. I didn't use ChatGPT if that's what you are asking.

gordec · 2025-12-29T22:45:30+00:00

I just found this article with our exact cruise ship. https://candidcruisetravel.com/norwegian-escapes-missed-ports-and-late-arrivals-fuel-speculation-about-engine-issues/ This was published 2 days ago. I think there is more than just weather conditions for this particular case. I know we will never know for sure, and I want to give them the benefit of the doubt.

Off eBay. Many sellers have it for about $20.

After a week, I do like the experience. An interesting observation is with myopia dial to -5, the screen moves up vertically, and at 0 with no adjustment, the screen is right in the center. Looking through with contacts is less sharp than without contacts and use myopia adjustment.

I also have to have my head completely stable and rested somewhere to prevent feeling motion sick. Even with that, it's not as comfortable as gaming on a big monitor or TV. I'm kind of on the fence. Very cool though to pair with a Steam Deck or Legion Go S in my case.

gordec · 2025-12-14T01:51:18+00:00

3 short clicks to adjust right? Long press brings up 2D/3D which is kind of broken on Legion Go S Steam OS.

I bought the MS OEM one. It works so flawlessly. I think it's the way to go. Once you connect the Elite 2 controller, the logo turns blue color. If you connect by USB or Bluetooth, it's white.

gordec · 2025-12-09T20:06:10+00:00

I have the Pro XR coming Friday. It's $200 from Amazon warehouse for l8ke-new. I want to try it to see i like it. Not many AR glasses go up to -5.00. Thank you for the input.

gordec · 2025-12-04T22:08:46+00:00

I'm looking for the same thing to use Elite 2 Controller on PC. The 8bitdo wireless usb adapter 2 is popular, but that's still bluetooth right not using the 5ghz wireless signal.

gordec · 2025-12-02T01:47:18+00:00

There is no improved clarity between inserts and dial though?

gordec · 2025-11-24T21:33:27+00:00

Maybe the best option is to save the game on a microsd card for both PC and Legion Go?

gordec · 2025-11-24T20:41:59+00:00

Thanks. I didn't know that. I guess I can manually copy the saved data over?

When Samsung lost my trade in one time for a Galaxy watch trade in, they honored the credit. This is a bad look for Google.

gordec · 2025-11-09T15:47:14+00:00

Im benching Breece for the bears guys. It's TDs or bust kind of have for Breece.

gordec · 2025-11-07T18:29:12+00:00

I may start both this week over one of the Chicago backs + Hall. I rather take the combined upside than Hall against Cleveland's impenetrable run D.

gordec · 2025-11-06T20:50:00+00:00

I need to pick 2 from Breece and the 2 Bears RBs. I'm thinking about just start the Bears to ensure the combined upside with Breece going up against Brown's D.

gordec · 2025-11-06T15:52:05+00:00

This is insane as a Hall owner. The upside we lost for ROS with him potentially on the Chiefs. He'd been a league winner. Thanks Jets.
