    Does it all happen through personal network nowadays?

    I've started Cairn and so far it's been really good (I'm like three hours in). Very frustrating too but I guess that's also one sort of motivation?

    There are one or two things that aren't super realistic IMO (the doctor being so antagonizing for example) but I agree with you, it's extremely close to what it is to be a first responder (saying this as a French firefighter). I enjoyed this movie a lot, the actors, the story, it's all very good overall.

    I signed up to take the exam for the equivalent of fire chief. There is a limited number of available seats, which means I don't have to get more than a certain grade, but rather be best than a number of other people.

    I have until march next year to prepare. I haven't told anyone. I'm not even sure why I'm doing this but 🤷‍♂️

    I use BookBuddy (there are two available on iOS, i mean this one: https://www.kimicoapps.com/bookbuddy).

    It doesn't require an account or any of this nonsense, is local but you can backup your library to the cloud if you want, and allows you to scan many books at once using their barcode.

    I know nothing about cameras but how would this compare to an iPhone within the same price range? That's a genuine question, because I find iPhone pictures pretty good already.

    I think I just like westerns and being a part of them 🙂. I don't usually play much and that's probably my first AAA game tbh so there's that too.

    What keeps me going is probably also the fact that the game is not linear at all from my perspective. Aside from some very forbidden zones (kept for later I guess), you can do pretty much whatever you want.

    I just watched the Three Musketeers and... well, I'm disappointed. Aside from the fact that the movie doesn't respect key elements of the book (main one so far is the secret identity of Athos), the characters are everything but noble. And that nobility is central in the plot, in which it defines what decisions the characters make until the end. Also, what the hell is going on with the soundtrack, it sounds like the Dark Knight's OST!
