  • I still play Dishonored every year. Those are not realistic graphics in the slightest, but it still holds up pretty well. Why? Style. I would 100% take a “lower” graphics game with style than a 100GB game with exquisitely modeled sandwiches.

    Stylistic games also age better than realistic games in my opinion. Look at other 2012 games like Mass Effect, Far Cry 3, and Borderlands. Mass Effect and Far Cry went more realistic, and I think they suffered a bit for it in the long run.

    Not saying Dishonored didn’t age tho. It does have that 2012 feel, lol.






  • I’m very nearly done with ‘The Precipice’ by Ben Bova. Next is either ‘Rock Rats’ in the same series, or I start the Cosmere series by Brandon Sanderson. I’ve read all the Mistborn novels, and they’re fantastic.

    Sanderson writes books faster than I can read, so it’s kind of daunting. Ben Bova is already dead, so I don’t have the same problem with him.
