Decide for yourself, it received a huge amount of hate and most people just jumped on the train for the sake of hating it. While I agree the last season was rushed, I quite enjoyed some aspects of it.
I did not read any of the books and will not read them ever probably.
Linus (S) went extra annoying for 2/3 of the vid. He managed to be sort of professional and asked some decent questions, but for the majority of the time he was putting on a performance for the LTT crowd.
Its probably a standard Musk project. Show futuristic marketing pictures/videos of round pod-style futuristic vehicles to billionaire oligarchs and clueless politicians with a buzzword salad, until the hype brings in investors. Interest in his companies goes up, the imaginary price of the company goes up, his imaginary gold pile gets bigger.
Then pocket the money and fail miserably delivering even a fraction of the promised things.
The tunnel in Las Vegas, Hyperloop, Cybertruck, Robotaxi (still in progress afaik) Tiny House, the electric freight truck (I don't remember its name), the various Mars projects just to name a few.
We reach the point, where the optimal windows install will include multiple complicated tinker steps for disabling intrusive features, while many Linux distro installs are nowadays pretty much streamlined and straightforward.
Apart from the endless EA, Ubisoft and similar AAA copy/paste titles I never understood the hype around MOBA games.
I don't get it. Its not real time strategy, but not an ARPG either, you dont create a character, instead have an insane pool of unique characters with a few abilities each. Its just feels like someone wrote down some random game mechanics and choose 5 at random.
All levels are basically the same with mild variations and the whole gameplay loop boils down to optimised fast clicking on abilities and to get strong asap.
Its super boring for me and couldn't spend more than a couple hours with the games from the genre. Same goes for watching other people play.
Its just a cherry on top to have the biggest tournaments and cash prices, while the top players are celebrated as superstars. Also somehow the biggest MOBA communities are infamous for toxicity.
Also when you click apply and within seconds get a rejection email and this is the first sentence:
"Thank you for applying, after careful consideration we decided not to move forward..."
