  I have a friend who is hard of hearing (completely deaf in one year, has 30% hearing in the other), and if her headset malfunctions it’s the only way she can hear a phone call.

  Granted, most people who do this in public this isn’t their situation.

  I’ve been slowly working my way through my first run of Metroid Prime 4: Beyond. I haven’t played any of the Metroid Prime games in a long time, and it’s interesting how it has changed yet it has not.

  Increased party limit always feels too OP for me, but the banter is a big upside. Every play through I hear banter or dialogue that I had never heard before and I’m slowly making my way through my 4th run, trying to make my way through each origin character after my first run as a tav.

  I finished Splatoon 3’s single player adventure and likely taking a break from it for a while. I found it far better than Splatoon 2 which I still haven’t finished. Haven’t tried the DLC yet.

  Proton’s response which IMO is pretty rational all things considered www.reddit.com/r/ProtonMail/…/is_that_true/

  That’s fair. I’ve also noticed dialogue in places that assumes you are not the origin character you are playing, or ignores when specific characters are not in your party.

  Tap for spoiler

  When you recruit Minsc as Shadowheart, there is a place in the dialogue tree where you refer to yourself in third person. There was a line suggesting I ask Lae’zel about a githyaki slate in Act 1 when I chose to kill her instead of join her earlier in the game.

  I wonder if the difference is because Karlach was a later addition to the game as an origin character.

  I’m very slowly working my way through my fifth Baldurs’s Gate 3 run since it went from early access to release. Decided I want to do all the origin characters and make decisions as they would.

  I’ve already done Gale, evil Dark Urge and now Shadowheart (spoilers below)

  Tap for spoiler

  In the beginning, I didn’t have Shadowheart save Lae’zel from the tieflings when she’s captured because to me she would want to be as far away from the githyanki as possible. I chose to romance Karlach because I never had before, and in my headcanon Karlach swayed Shadowheart from choosing Shar. Romanced the emperor and am going to try siding with him on a play through because I never have before lol

  I find something I missed on every single play through, and so far there is enough unique content in the origin runs to keep them interesting. Not sure which origin character I will try next but I am really enjoying playing as Shadowheart.

  I just finished Cult of the Lamb. To was a quick buy satisfying play through. I love the snappy roll/dodge mechanic.

  Proton VPN has been solid for me. I already pay for their email service so no sense in paying another VPN provider. I have iPhone, Linux and Windows devices and it works great on all three.
