If 20% body fat was okay on the old scale, then apparently 25% is okay on the new scale, and not a problem, despite what the device says.
That, or the whole thing is hogwash and still shouldn't be listened to.

The first 2 are basically more of what you'd expect from those series, and the third is a new series in the same lines. Combat is a little more arcade-y and there's a lot of puzzles. They're pretty standard open-world fare, all 3.
I've been meaning to try Control and now that it's on XBGP, I might get to it. Wish they had it for PC on there. Might wait for that.
Cyberpunk 2077 came out today, too, and I'm eyeing that carefully. I didn't really like the Witcher series, so I'm a little leery.
Astroneer is good if you're into open world sandbox games with no stated goals. There's stuff to do, it's just not at all obvious at first and you have to be inquisitive I think. I had a ton of fun exploring and finding things and building up my blueprints.
I watched the first 2-3 seasons, then started reading the books when I ran out of episodes.
I thought the TV series did an amazing job at filling in around the edges. Where it went off the rails is where it deviated from the books, IMO. And it sounds like about the same time that you starting to think it was stuck in a rut.
IIRC, there was a jaguar(were) lawyer from New Orleans in the book, but the series went a completely different direction just before that. So disappointing.
