What crypto is right now is basically diametrically opposed to what the original creators intended.

Windows is like €200 minimum. It’s extortionate.

Pros:

-Roof repairs almost finished (but it just started raining dammit)

-Got Tempest Rising & Oblivion remastered, two shadow drops of highly anticipated games

-Ordered a new videocard because my six-year old one can’t chug it no more.

Cons:

-Ran out of weed, will have to wait until next week for a fillup

-Work is boring, as always

All in all, not too shabby.

I felt the same way after being handed a corp full admin account over the datacenter. Like “I wouldn’t give my car keys to a toddler, but here I am…”

Surprising they didn’t include the end twist in the title somehow.

Store brand is as good or better than A-brands in about 90% of all cases.

Colitis Ulcerosa? My sympathies.

Getting close to 1M personnel. Does UA get an achievement for that?

Thanks :) Can I ask why you can’t play BG1? The Enhanced Edition on Steam isn’t very expensive and compatible with almost all possible modern OS’es. I can very much recommend it ;)

It’s not a problem with turn-based, per se. I love Xcom. I finished Expeditions: Rome which is 100% turn-based combat on a grid exactly like BG3 & D:OS I&II. I love D&D rulesets as well. It’s just something about the exact combination of these things in BG3 that really REALLY irks me and prevents me from enjoying the game at all.

I don’t know what it is, but… I have always been a Baldur’s Gate fan of the first hour. BG1, when I played it back in 1998, blew my mind so completely that I STILL consider it the best CRPG ever made, hands down. After that came NWN and NWN2 and I enjoyed those also. It was also what introduced me to D&D and I read a ton of D&D novels after that.

So you’d think that when BG3 came along, especially with me being Belgian, I’d be completely stoked. I immediately bought the game and… found to my greatest surprise that I just couldn’t enjoy it. At all.

See, I bought and tried Divinity: Original Sin 1 & 2 and had the EXACT same problem. I just couldn’t/can’t get over the turn-based combat. It sucks so much ass. Realtime with “hidden” dnd rules was the way to go.

So now whenever I see people gushing about BG3 I somehow feel like I “failed” myself for being disappointed in what seems to be the objectively best game ever made according to, well, everyone.

Maybe it’s just a sign that there’s something wrong with me and that I’ve lost the ability to enjoy good games. Ah well.

Ah fuck this kind of shit has infected the UK too? Please keep it on your end of the pond, I don’t want to see it in mainland Europe…

If you can do something bad that will make you lots of money, and you KNOW you can’t and won’t ever be held responsible for it, guess what game theory says most people will do?

I hope they enjoy the new air conditioning.

Transanal-transvaginal fistulae. That was a bad day to have eyes, or the ability to read. Ah well.

I let Copilot write emails to annoying customers for me now. Company pays for the license, might as well use it.

That’s what they count on. They only have to get it through once. We have to fight and win every time, as the UK recently found out. Vigilance has to be key, no matter how hard they make it. But I concede it’s tiring as all hell.

My take is that both of them croak in the next few years and things, well, simply stay the same. We get some other buffoons and everything will continue as if it was always thus. And we’ve always been at war with Eastasia…

You’re kidding but this is actually true. Investing in funeral parlors and similar services is probably a good idea right now; first the excessive dying of the poors, then war. It’s going to be a golden age for gravediggers.

Google used to have my everything; my search and my browsing history by using chrome.

Then they pushed manifest 3 and now they have nothing of mine anymore. Search is now ddg or ecosia and browser changed to Librewolf.

Fuckers.
