If you have a VPN server set up at home, and like a portable router that allows you to establish a VPN connection to your home connection… And then you connect your work machine to your portable router that’s connected to your home… Fairly certain you would always look like you’re working from home.

Serious question, with that much power do you even pre-heat the oven? At that much power, I imagine you can just put the food in and turn it on.

I never played the first game. But I loved BG3 so much (having never played BG1 or BG2) and it was suggested I’d probably like this game too. I worry because I keep seeing it compared to Dark Souls, which isn’t a game I liked.

IT guy here… Uh, no. I resent that you would group us with HR.
At my work I keep advocating to give our underperforming hardware (aka old hardware) a second life by opening up sales for them instead of destroying them (except hard drives of course).
When my laptop was acting up and was kind of crappy… I replace the thermal paste and replaced the old failing hard drive with a new SSD. At laptop is now 14 years old (Intel i5-540).

BG3 was for me (in 2023). I did 3 full runs. There’s never been a game where I completed it and immediately started another campaign. There’s been games I’ve considered it and pondered it but never did it.
