A VPN add on like Hola can fix that.

We are not quite up to the same speed as the timeline in the books.

The first book was published in 1978... The “remastered” edition lists 2100-2200 instead.

The originals have been out of print for many years, but you can find them on Amazon and eBay. Really great stuff.

If you like that stuff, get your hands on the Terran Trade Authority books. The originals ideally, not the new “remastered” ones.

This came out in March on XBox One and Windows. An amazing sequel to an amazing game.

Agreed. Hilarious, thought-provoking, heartwarming, and at times heartbreaking. Love it.

I’m not sure you’d get “infinitely better” espresso but I do agree on the price issue.
