Those are some great insights, thanks! I’m all up for something more kinetic to counter the steady-fun BG3 turn-based combat.

I loved the pandering in Citadel DLC and dropped Andromeda after fifteen minutes of trying to stay conscious during the dialogue.

On the one hand, thank god this asshole doesn’t have an ounce of charisma and couldn’t win over a crowd to save his life. On the other, while I can’t wait for the day that Trump kicks the bucket and / or is thrown in jail, I’m concerned that everyone will then default to this asshole instead and he’ll fail upward into…

This shitstain must NEVER EVER get anywhere near the White House. 

To be fair, Florida is a burning building, these dumb fucks just don’t realize they're the ones who lit and are pouring gas on the fire

so it’s like Magic: The Gathering but for even younger children?

Big shrug until I hear something from Nintendo since every mother fucker has been saying this shit every year since 2018. 

At this point, you should’ve just copy/pasted the same report of the last few years…

A “save outfit” feature would be nice but at the very least there should be a single “equip set” button. If you don’t have the full set it would just equip what you have of the set. If you have any duplicates it would default to the highest level of each item. They could even attempt to match color if there were…

My biggest gripe is definitely the spirits. Suuuuper clunky the way it is. Accidental activations constantly while picking items up off the ground, needing to hunt them down when they are needed... They really should have had their own dedicated button. The mentioned L+up-left could’ve instead brought up a selection…

Bears can’t consent. Druids in bear form can.

The ‘12 year old who’s actually a 700 year old demon therefore it’s not pedophilia’ is exactly the example I thought of when I read this. Yes, in both that case and this one with the bear shape-shifter the mind inside that body is informed enough to consent. But it’s pretty hard to get around the idea that anyone…

You know Baldur’s Gate is already based on D&D... right?

I really miss the era of single-player-focused FPS titles. All modern gamers seem to want from multiplayer shooters is another battle royale or extraction game. The mass enshitification of one of my favorite genres is sad to watch. At least I can still go back and play DOOM (1993) and Quake whenever I want.

That’s kind of what annoys me about this. i haven’t played it many years, but it was always billed as sort of an ecchi fighting game if I recall. It was a key part of the kickstarter campaign. So taking out the pervy stuff (even if it’s minor changes) does seem like a bit of betrayal in that regard. It’s like if…

You’re not wrong, but I’m not sure this is a constructive place for that conversation, mainly because anyone who feels strongly enough about cartoon knickers to be outspoken on the topic is unlikely to have measured and proportionate thoughts on the matter.

Take a gander at Maga/ conservative melt downs over trans people. kid rock pluggin a case of bud light with a machine gun come to mind.

“However, real-world performance benefits of SATA vs NVMe are minimal.”

The requirement stated is SSD, not NVMe specifically, so I very much doubt that’s the case.
