Yeah unless your stomach is producing aqua regia that gold’s coming out the exact same way it went in.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 days ago:
Yes, and that is why people like you and me will never be rich in the first place. This mindset completely prevents it.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 days ago:
Everyone’s so tired and broken down with all our societal problems that they’re just trying to make enough money so the problems don’t apply to them anymore, rather than trying to tackle the actual underlying issues…
- Comment on Chips aren’t improving like they used to, and it’s killing game console price cuts 3 days ago:
We’ve been up against the 5Ghz thermal wall for over a decade. We can keep adding cores but we need significantly improved design (less nanometers) for these gains - and these are now running up against another wall, namely quantum tunneling which begins being a problem at around the nanometer scale.
I assume only a radically different architecture (light instead of electricity?) will be able to smash these barriers.

I must admit, it’s not “just” a remaster, but they somehow managed to capture the spirit of '06 when this first came out PERFECTLY. Picture this: I was still in college and studying at home when Oblivion was finally released. I had been waiting for it for a long time (to my young mind back then) and I remember it was a perfectly beautiful, sunny day and I was home alone with no obvious way to get to a game store.
So I asked my elderly neighbor if I could borrow her clunker of a car for “an errand” and drove over an hour to the nearest game shop.
From the game itself I mostly remember how drop-dead gorgeous everything seemed - and how terribly my PC’s performance was back then, especially in outdoors areas.
Today, I experienced the exact same form of awe, followed by the most gorgeous graphics I could imagine, and… 15 fps outdoors. EXACTLY how things used to be when I was a young man.
Magic. Truly a win for Bethesda (after Starfield). Now all I need is a PC who can actually run the damn thing on high with over 60 FPS.

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 ;)
- Comment on Anon plays old games 3 weeks ago:
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.
- Comment on Anon plays old games 3 weeks ago:
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.

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.

Damn I remember this post from when I was on 4chan still. OP did provide links and his story was 100% true. The girl wasn’t ugly, just kinda plain but almost every pic of her somehow exuded despair, and that was honestly offputting (except for the kind of creeps who get off on that I reckon).
