Old habit comes from time specializing as an audio engineer in college when I had to know beyond normal seconds for the purpose of editing sound.

Also if I were to describe myself to someone I would say imagine Sherlock [The one from Elementary] combined with The Doctor [Matt Smith one] combined with Castiel combined with House combined with Hawkeye [M* A * S* H] combined with Judge Anderson and you have a rough idea as to the type of person I am.

Not these days the only reason why I can use freesync now is becasue @Cavemanthe0ne sold me a 390 for 240 well under the 350+ they’re going for now

definitely worth a watch if you can. also tag of @wolfleben because it’s about the person who wrote the Catcher in the Rye if it’s not already apparent from the name lol

Side tidbit: I think Catcher in the Rye is pretentious and overrated. When I had to read in high school, my hand written report was 12 pages long on why the book was just okay at best. My teacher legit told me : How dare you say this. Me: But it’s true. I still got an A on the paper.
I still like the book though. I’ll look into this film.

for me i read the book once
…
yeah. not that it’s bad but at that point i was reading like a book a week so unless it was memorable i don’t really remember which books i read :stuck_out_tongue: for example i went through every book in the Ender’s Game series in a few months. lol. those are good.

but this movie is really well done, i went into it like ā€œthis seems interestingā€ and after finishing it:
whoa

i definitely read the first book and i remember it being… meh? but i am not sure if i read the ones after or not.
that said i had also just discovered Harry Turtledove books which are really interesting alternate history books (assuming you know what actually took place in the given time periods IRL, that is lol)
my favorite series from him is probably this one:

My review of it from January 12, 2016

I was looking for a military sci-fi book to read. This was recommended to me by a friend. Honor is an interesting character. A minor grip I have is that somethings the story slows down when something cans explain in great detail like how a technology came about. Whenever it happened, I always wondered why? Then when it comes back to the story I realize why. This story does have solid moments. There is good character development, the stakes are very real, and I was satisfied with how it ended. I’m planning on reading the next book. Not sure if I will keep reading the series but that will be determined on if I enjoy the next book or not.

I’ve read the next three books.
