My body is a machine that turns caffeine into uptime.

No. It's only called crack when poor plebs use it, not the rich. That's why there's different laws.

In general yes, but in this particular case I think it's just about high enough.

Fixed that two damaged construction robots trying to repair each other could get stuck in an infinite loop of trying to hug each other and overshooting.

They were seeking comfort after shared trauma.

Mint. Done.

Yup. I think the engine improvements that allowed for the gravity gun to be a m7ch more prominent HL2 thing.

Doesn't matter. The reason why they're produced is to keep the domestic fearmongering active and the population convinced they're only defending themselves.

Are you really inferring that putins money burning competition with a group of countries that have roughly 40 times its ggdpmay have something to do with it?

 

OK, so I finished this a while back, and despite it appealing to a lot of my interests, I honestly found it pretty meh.

I really enjoyed the realistic military/tactical aspect of it all, as that part is right up my alley, but... I did not care about the characters, the plot seemed hollow, and it seems like some things that could have been explored further were simply ignored.

For example, in the beginning these guys blow up a refinery. There are vague descriptions as to why, but after this it is practically not mentioned again. Whatever movement they were part of apparently disappears, and there are no repercussions for their home oblast.

The only thing this book has going for it, in my opinion, is that military nerds like me enjoy the detailed writing about the different types of hardware involved in the book.

So, since I am by no means a literary connoseur, I'm curious about what others think of this one.
