Glass hearts and all that. No one in China gives a shit when they’re being racist to anyone else (literally everyone not Han) and complain everyone else is having a bitch fit...until someone even vaguely reference something Chinese in a negative light, then it’s “the world is against the Chinese and we must unify…

Honestly fuck em, disney also removed a black man from a certain movie poster to appease the chinese market.  Yeah the "joke" was terrible but why feel bad for china when they whine when they are supposedly offended.

I find it weird that people believes in the so called cancel culture. People using cancel culture as an excuse for not taking responsibility for one's actions. 

I’m from a Chinese family and it’s kinda hipocritical they’d call that joke racist and raise a fuss when you hear every Chinese calling a westener a ‘White Ghost’ or similar racists slang depending on your region/dialect.

The modern Chinese population is, as aptly described by a Chinese phrase:

Chinese people seem to be trying their hardest to become the most butthurt people in the world by fussing over tiny things like this.

West Taiwan outrage culture strikes again. Everyone needs to stop giving the CCP and its brainwashed yes-babies a free-pass in pushing their agenda world-wide. They’re so hung up on regaining that golden-age perception of Chinese Civilization.

I’m Chinese myself, and... yeah, it’s kind of obnoxious, but I’m also kind of numb to China pitching a bitch about everything. This seems like a really petty thing comparatively.

You can, uh, play a cleric of the resurrected Bhaal? *shrugs*

Yes - you are missing that the reviewer said they found it confusing - regardless of how many times you patronisingly insist that it’s not that complicated, and essentially say “you’ve rolled a dice before - what’s the problem?”.

I never played DoS but I played 2 because so many people rate it so highly in the pantheon of RPGs, and I HATED the combat system. Every fight like like it was just fire everywhere and 20 minutes later you find out that you should have stepped 10 feet to the left 5 rounds ago to get cover against a ranged character…

I don’t really recall monopoly having you roll dice and add modifiers to pass a check against an invisible, secret number. Most games that aren’t run by a games master say “roll higher than specifically stated number”. Many of those other video games you’ve mentioned are doing random number checks - but not overtly…

It means you roll one (1) twenty (20) sided dice (D) and then add (+) a three (3) to the outcome, with said plus-number (+#) bonus being given to you by the numerical value of X (Charisma) and Y (Medicine Skill).

Yeah I definitely prefer “fail fast” mentalities to combat, as a bunch of Divinity OS2 battles kicked my ass well after 10-15 minutes (sometimes 30+) of intense combat, and find I struggle in some of the modern Action Point D&D combat systems that Larian likes so much. I only have so much patience for handling every…

So I feel what I’m about to write here is a shocking revelation, but a computer game set in a mythical realm is, and I cannot stress this enough, not real life. Games, in general, not real life. And actually if you look at the competitive games played in real life have clear rules and understandings how things work. I…

For the reviews and those who played.  Is there any hints of characters or story from the previous games.  Everything I saw seems like this is a sequel in name only and that it really doesn’t have anything to do with the other Baldur’s Gate games other then being a D&D game set in the Forgotten Realms

The battle system and granular environmental interactivity of the latter have been modified to fit dice-based Dungeons & Dragons rules, but they nonetheless function extremely similarly to the way they did in Original Sin 2. The first time I spilled a puddle of oil on the ground, causing two powerful enemies to fall…

Big Oof. Early access is a blight.

While the antibodies developed by those who have recovered from covid-19 offer protection from the virus, the extent of their effectiveness—and whether it’s possible to contract covid-19 again—is unclear.
