Stadia, the initial reviews were actually pretty bad, but I'm blown away by how good it is. There's something undeniably cool about playing cyberpunk on a macbook air with full graphical detail, and then switching over to play on my TV exactly where I left off. The latency is virtually imperceptible to me, and I love that I don't need a 50 GB download just to try out a new game. Everytime I use it I'm honestly impres…

Lucky you, I can't even play on most TVs hooked as-is via HDMI because of horrendous render lag.
Cormac McCarthy. Finally started "bingeing" his books from the local library and not since Virginia Woolf has a writer's use of words to paint pictures made such an impression on me.
The main From Software games (Demon Souls, DS, DS3, BB, and Sekiro). They really are special, and a cut above games like Witcher 3 or BoTW imo. I don't think I have ever played a game where nearly every element was best in class and worked so well together. The "stories" are brilliant, and the way they are told is perfect for the medium. There is an incredible world, that is awe inspiring and fascinating, with deep a…
Very special and challenging gameplay that is done right. There are no advantages to you as a player, and you need to watch your every step. I am on the same page regarding storytelling - it is a masterpiece. Couple that with the great artwork they've done, and you're put right in the middle of some fantasy land.

- You can go to a friend's apartment with a Chromecast and just start playing games YOU own like CyberPunk & Assasins Creed within seconds on their TV (assuming they have a controller or you brought your own)
- You can go to Stadia.com on Chrome and just start playing these games from the browser using the Keyboard/Mouse
- The other day I was parked at a Target and I was able to play Cyberpunk on my phone using my phone's internet connection
- You don't have to keep worrying about constantly updating hardware, downloading game patches, deleting stored games etc.
- Time to load the game between saved checkpoints and missions is also much faster since the games run on a superior hardware.
Haskell typeclasses. They really are interfaces that don’t leak. Solid state disks. Huge speed boost.
You should have seen the leap from tapes to magnetic disks :)

I will add that a marvelous thing in all of From's games is that there is essentially no filler content. Every enemy (encounter) you meet is different in some way from every other, it's always challenging you in a slightly different way. There may be reused ideas between the games, but within a single game, you're never on clear a path of just doing more of the same. This is something almost no other company even see…
Two finales: - Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. When the seventh book came out in 2007 there was this fear among the fandom that JK Rowling couldn't deliver a great ending. I think most people agreed she did very well (even more than expected, considering the complexity of the story in the prior six books). - Breaking Bad last season / last episode: there aren't many tv shows that can end in a high note (check G…
