Yes, but most of them were things like shortening the legs, growing out the hair, changing their gait, and adding “fidget” algorithms.

Not major cosmetic changes, and as he says a security would still identify him as a sec unit, but making it so the meatbags… Err, humans, are less likely to notice.

ARTs modifications helped, but he did walk around prior to receiving them. ART adjusted his height, how his hair grew, ect, but didn’t fundamentally change his looks.

ooh, i just subscribed. thanks!

Its more of the same. I’m loving it, but it definitly different than the books

I don’t agree they look totally ‘non-human’, since they are able to pass as human security consultant with little to no changes to their appearance. Heavily augmented, but human enough to pass with little more than a heavy sweater/hoodie and a cap.

Honestly, i love the way everyone of the Corporation Rim dismisses Preservation, they are a bunch of backwater hippies… and the fact they do have a working and strong economy just shows how wrong the CR is.

Yea, I wish they were both more military look (shorter hair, more armor), and more androgynous… but it was one of the changes i expected to make it work with modern TV.

my wife and I are limiting ourselves to one episode a night, or else we would binge all 6 episodes in one night! we are so desperate that we re-started the series all ready, watching episode 1 after finishing episode 3!

yea, i feel like the ‘humanized’ all the characters, including Dr Mensah and Murderbot, and added more relationship drama… but the changes feel solid, not changes for the sake of change.

yea,

The books are all novellas, with All Conditions Red only being 160 pages, so im not surprised how short the episodes were. I wish they had adapted the first two books, as 8 1 hour episodes, but loving what they did!

yea, the books are great. My wife and i are really looking forward to the introduction of our favorite character ‘A.R.T.’

Yea, its very accurate, a lot of it is word for word, and the character adaptations are great.

They definitely padded it to hit 8 episodes of 45 minutes each (ie, in the books to confirm the map is wrong they all go, including Murderbot, and Mensah doesn’t go on a solo exploration), but defiantly feel more like expanding the world than useless padding.

It appears they define ‘terrorist’ as 'anyone who is a terrorist, or knows a terrorist, or has family members that is a terrorist, or knows someone whose family member is a terrorist, or knows someone who is friends with someone whose family member is a terrorist, or is a reporter"

In the end, its a land grab, they want to take West Bank over.

Oh, god, the biofuel grind was so painful in the begining, at least until you actually get BIOFUEL.

Once im done my Pacific Drive playthrough, ill take another bash at it.

Yea, I’m still early, but the onboarding feels more rough, so I haven’t got as far as with the others.

My DSP Save has like 200 hours (lots of it AFK to grind some avhivments, and factorio is like 300+

Really having trouble getting into satisfactory. Im used to DSP and Factorio, where its a grid system, and easy to scale up.

Until we start seeing general strikes, or other action, they will continue to ignore the people.

A week of general strikes, and the stock exchange tanking acordingly, would actually have an effect.

Basically just my steam lists.

I’m losing track of books, and started tracking them, but games tend to hang around longer, since they take me longer to get through.

That’s great!

Couldn’t work a Chrisjen/Averserala in there?

Honestly, if we had a second we were thinking Amos
