This explains so much.

Do I dare try this…

Wheel of time…maybe fantasy but still.

Firstly, forget the books

Secondly try to convince yourself that two or disparate storylines somehow will combine at some point to become meaningful.

Thirdly for some odd reason I still enjoy it

Voting for Wool as it makes sense to read the book before checking out how AppleTV have (maybe) destroyed it

I killed scratch.

I also I noticed I have

–skip-launcher

In the box for launch options in steam.

Software wise, anything without a demo. The support from companies is dire at the best of times and if something doesn’t work on your system your screwed. In shops you can test the suitability of something by testing it (sitting on a couch, laying on a bed) but with software they take your money and run.

Also anything abandoned is fair game.
