Absolutely. You won’t regret it.

Short answer is that it's not running backwards. This guy breaks the scene down:

This next one is kind of a book spoiler.

I kind of want to take a hammer to the pricks that thought fighting a hammer wielding brute with a shield would make for a fun and engaging fight.

You start with 20 in the mag and 1 in the chamber = 21 Empty gun = 0 Mag holds 20, so when you put the next one in and chamber the round, 19 in the mag and 1 in the chamber = 20 Reload without firing replaces the mag with 19 in but leaves 1 in the chamber, so you now have 20 in the mag and 1 in the chamber = 21 This feels like it should be a question in a maths quiz in Texas.

Isn't that because you start with 20 in the magazine and 1 in the chamber? Then when you put the next 20 round mag in you have 1 in the chamber and 19 rounds left in the mag, until you swap a new mag of 20 in.

Oh this is a bit good. I normally tire of pvp really quickly, but this has got me hooked. I like that you feel viable from the first match and that the default weapons allow you to hold your own, rather than having to obsess over attachments. Hopefully they'll add something along the lines of Destiny 2's Gambit in one of the future seasons, so that there's another option if you fancy something that isn't pure pvp.

Interesting articles those, thanks for the links.

I'm a sucker for this kind of thing, so quite enjoyed it. Loving the "what a load of bollocks, just turn it around" hot take above. Guess it's the space equivalent of the people spouting "Ship stuck in the Suez Canal? Just get a couple of Chinooks in mate, sort it right out."

There's still time for the impact of the asteroid strikes on the ecosystem, collapsing power grids, food production, etc. to manifest in season 6. Book 6 is where they bring Anna back on Earth and you start to get a feel for what the longer term consequences are and just how fucked the Earth actually is.

This show really has benefited from starting life as a series of books, having the authors steering how they transition to the screen and some brilliant actors slipping into the characters so well. They have built what feels like a very real world and the characters end up acting in what feels like a very believable way. So many little touches where you haven’t had a third party dumb it down for the TV audience and telegraph everything blatantly. Plus Amos and Peaches.

Five episodes left.

They are nailing this season. Loving it. Book spoiler...

I don’t think deconstructing a weapon gives you ammo, but you can craft ammo. Under the Crafting tab, the ammo items are at the bottom of the list.

Excellent episode. Been waiting for that one for a long time and it didn’t disappoint.
