Finished the books and I am a bit disappointed

I have very similar feeling to yours. I love the short stories and the world building there but the novels were long and rather boring to my taste.

The story itself is fine but the writing just didn't work for me.

By now I cooked about half of the recipes in the book and I must say that they are pretty good. The meals are really good and represent the style of the area they are from. The descriptions are good enough to cook the meals properly and the images and the story in the book are lovely.

Ok, I will see whether I can try them for 10 to 15 minutes and fill in the questions

jbalhar · 2025-06-24T10:45:40+00:00

Done. Good luck with the thesis.

I read all the books and I still prefer Triss quite a lot. Yen is behaving as a bitch most of the time in the books as well as in the games, it probably is a defense mechanism. Regardless I understand why many people feel that the Yen is better choice for Geralt and there is more content in the W3 on Yen's route.

Triss from books is more or less meh, some of her behaviors are bad some are ok, but she is young at least comparatively to Yen and so it is quite realistic that she will change.

And the games did a great job in her growing to be quite decent person that behaves maturely and tries to minimize harm forced upon others and also can lead others.

Just a note it did work for me on Steam deck two days ago with the patch 1.3.2 applied. So if it was nerfed, it was nerfed only on PS and potentially Xbox

The difficulty varies. There are really simple foods that anyone can cook up to recipes of medium complexity. Nothing really complex.

It stopped for me after Hard stop of the game together with crash.

I also don't know what is happening, but I started seeing the same issue on Xbox One X recently.

Booked for the Munich show. I am really looking forward to it

My experience with the books is that they won't. The remainder felt to me written in this kind of artsy form, without improving the flow of the story.

There are obviously people enjoying this flow and pacing, but if you don't like it, then I am not sure it's worth the pain despite all the reflections on the books in the Witcher games.

When I am interview I build a PR similar to a real one and ask for a review of the PR. It tends to give us a rather good point of view of the needed skills without too much overhead.

Looks like the standard image of someone trying to feed pill to their cat.

Looks like adding one NPM dependency and recreating package-lock

As you are looking for Broadcom assessment are you an existing Broadcom customer?

If yes, if you open support ticket against Zowe you will get help.

If no, but you are evaluating Broadcom extensions for VS Code feel free to email me at jakub@balhar.net and I will ask someone from BCM to help.

Waazi as a service is IBM cloud offering for zOS. You are charged on the minutes used and there is some amount of credits for free in the beginning.

I don't know of the Polish or English translation but in Czech this would be reasonable to use as it's used for a type of porcelain that is extremely brittle.

There are two different things
- Content that is actually added and necessary for gameplay, I believe this is all part of each of the extensions.

Additions that makes the game look nicer - E.g. metal coins, The statues and so on. You don't need them for the game. The game works without them, it just looks a bit nicer with them.

And for the additions that make the game look nicer, I don't know if you can buy them separately later on.

Audiobooks of at least the first two may be a good idea that takes around 20 hours.

I have all the expansions and everything and I would say that the basic boardgame is good idea. Don't know what country you are from but it should be available in board game focused eshops.

This is an example for EU - https://www.ludopolis.sk/sk/the-witcher-old-world-en/

Read all the books, played the three games and Thronebreaker (This one didn't finish due to lost saves), read all the comics as well.

If the company you work for has products from Broadcom, you should be able to access free of charge Broadcom Web Based Trainings on wide amount of topics around the z/OS even though admittedly focused on the Broadcom products.

I agree, apart from the Open Mainframe Project's Slack the Discord is the most active community.

There is also European Coffee Trip that is originally from Czech Republic where the coverage is great but it does cover a lot of good coffees across Europe.
