I still don't understand how v2 is considered the better version. Currently playing v1 for the first time, and v2 last year.

The main reason people seem to hinge on is that it plays more like Chaos Theory mechanically, so old thing good new thing had.

I'll have to watch a recap of both to really pick them each apart, but v2 genuinely feels boring and poorly made in multiple areas that make it less engaging, whereas v1 is just a little buggy depending what you play it on and is different than the other 4 games (including v2). It feels like a fan made SC.

V2:

Lambert pulls Sam out mid mission to tell him about Sarah? What?? In no world would this happen.

Has nobody pointed out how cringe and lame the interview plotlines are, or Sam monologuing the ethics / trust decisions in game? It feels so out of place for him.

How he sneaks through the JBA also doesn't make any sense if he's the only one missing. There's a spy guy going around knocking people out with the same build, skills, and equipment as Sam, and then as soon as that's not happening, he reappears after Emile can't find him. This makes no sense. When the guards wake up or are found, he would be an immediate suspect.

Frankly, the maps feel pretty empty and boring as well. The train part of the train heist mission sucks, and then Sam walks off a train crash and talks to Lambert like 10 feet away from Emile?

V1:

v1 JBA missions make sense for the plot and logic, even if they're slow and a little frustrating from a gameplay perspective.

The missions are in cooler settings with a lot more detail and sound design. His outfits are also cooler.

Daytime missions are a nice change to see how Sam's skills extend beyond just the same formula of shadow lurking like the last 3 or 4 games.

I've seen other users are able to watch House of the Dragon S3 no problem. I was using custom configs, but I just tested with default Tamtaro configs for both AIO Streams and Metadata and no change. My API keys are all valid and other shows work fine.

AIO Metadata is on top, then AIO Streams and Cinebye is fully enabled with Cinemata at the bottom of addon order.

Any guidance?

I'm about to join. Does anybody want me to enter their referral code so we both make a bonus?

My girlfriend lived in Greece for half a year and I visited for a bit as well. As some of you may know, a Freddo Cappuccino is a very common drink at anywhere from truck stops to very nice cafés, not just in Athens but all over. They're amazing, and the other day, I started craving one since it's getting hot out, so I decided to ask the next Café I went to if they'd like to try (USA).

Holy shit, I did not expect people who usually seem to enjoy doing creative things with coffee cop such fat attitudes about it. I didn't try this when it was busy, demand it, argue, or try to tell them how to do their job, but the mere concept of a customer asking for something they didn't understand made their egos have a meltdown.

The first place was pretty rude before I even got to the subject, so I'll say he was just having a bad day. His immediate reaction was to tell me it doesn't exist and treated me like an idiot. The second place dude pretty much said the same thing by talking down at us for two minutes straight about all the other regional cold drinks he knows of from France/Italy as well as his general deep knowledge for coffee that we definitely don't have because the thing I said definitely doesn't exist otherwise he'd know about it.

I brought this up with my coworker, who had been a barista for a very long time said he would have asked how to make it, but refused to accept that it's considered a type of Cappuccino, that the Greeks named it wrong in the early 90's, and that it's also a dumb thing to order.

After all that, I'm starting to get irritated about the reflexive pretentiousness over fucking bean water with milk. Seems like making lattes all day is the only thing they have going for them.

Anyway I'm buying a frother and skim milk now. Thank you for reading.

TL;DR American baristas think they know all the 'rules' for coffee because they're underpaid and overworked.
