I'm in awe of how beautiful the art of this game is, the many mechanics and interactions with the NPCs completely worth the game of the year award even if it was the least commercially successful winner of a game of the year award.

Spoiler
We have a Spider-man that is not against killing the bad guys. In the first episode he clearly sees how the bad guy murders someone in cold blood, then after perusing him escaping in a car and Spider-man clearly killing some of the goons, he lets him get away unscratched.The scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2JQNCbyc04

I'm also trying to make more personal content on my blog, for example the other day I found this format for cooking recipes and I added a recipes section to my site with a similar layout.

I choose it because I always heard it was a good read and there are certainly good ideas that made car manufacturing more productive, but thought the book you can tell how the author sees workers as something in way of profit, and how they are noting more than numbers to reduce.
I was constantly reminded of how there's people with only the mindset of growth and profit, without question if it's a positive thing that improves lives.
In general the book also repeats itself a lot, circling trough the same ideas multiple times, and gives the feel that it could be a shorter blog post or a tiny manual without the self praise and bluff.

In a way it reminded me of Ender's Game but from a completely different point of view.
If you have some other recommendations from this author I would give them a try as well, this short story was very well written, thanks for recommending it.

Malcolm in the Middle.
When I was a kid, I thought the mom was very annoying, always mad at the kids for everything, now from the perspective of an adult I realized that she's the most loving mother possible, her anger was completely justified and it's a miracle she didn't want to murder them.
