Noo don’t tell we chose this acronym (no corrections please) over SFA, which is 3 letters and much better

And the Steam discount golden age ended years ago, nowadays it’s much more expensive. Not to mention the bundles of the time.

For me it’s
1-4 might buy and never play it
4-12 eh if it’s got good reviews and it’s my genre it’s a potential impulse buy
12-25 it’s got to be very acclaimed and I have to desire it strongly
25-35 if it’s like the sequel of a game I loved A LOT, and has good reviews, and it gets me on a good day
35+ no way, I’ll wait for a discount - Comment on A Baldur's Gate HBO series is in the works, will be set directly after Baldur's Gate 3 with new and returning characters 1 week ago:
Does it make sense to do this for something that is already part of a larger franchise (d&d)? Diablo would be a better candidate for a linear story I think.

Minsc and Jaheira were in both BG1&2, the big bad of BG1 was a Bhaal spawn as was one of the protagonist’s friends. There’s more characters from the older games, such as

Shadowheart’s mistress/boss/whatever

Yeah but they’ll mess with the canon and then we’ll all have to deal with it.

That’s a different matter altogether. The difference in your case would be the quality of the desk, chair, bed and so on that you’d buy. Also people decorate their houses and they do it because humans enjoy pretty things.

- Comment on The recent Star Trek series are often criticized for "not being woke enough", but I've come to feel the envelope they are pushing is much more radical, bolder, and important to our specific time... 2 weeks ago:
Fucking this. What happened to “show don’t tell”? If I wanted a narrator to tell me what to think I would watch Grey’s Anatomy.

- Comment on Nova Launcher unashamedly inserts malware ads into your home screen now. 2 weeks ago:
My often used apps are numerous, and there are a few that are not often used but by their nature need to be opened quickly when necessary (such as the camera or qr scanner)… Plus I like to have a monthly calendar and clock on my home screen, those take up quite some space.
- Comment on Nova Launcher unashamedly inserts malware ads into your home screen now. 2 weeks ago:
That’s what I’ve been using, but I still prefer Nova’s ability to create folders, I could open most apps I needed in an instant by sliding to the correct screen, opening the folder and tapping the app. With Kvaesitso even with categories and such it’s much more of a hassle, the fastest way is typing the first letters of the name, not the same.
- Comment on Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Starfleet Academy | 1x04 "Vox in Excelso" 3 weeks ago:
So this episode was a close miss for me, it’s like it had the framework to be a good episode but they just didn’t finish it up correctly.
so this episode...
The whole debate thing with Jay-Den saying Klingons must be Klingons, yeah duh, everyone knows that, weak! And the thing with the fake battle, really no one else thought of it? Honestly ST always had problems portraying Klingons consistently, they usually make them appear so dumb you wonder how they can manage to keep their fricking starships operational. Speaking of inconsistency, Darem was introduced in E01 being an asshole for no reason, then five minutes after changed completely, now he’s even a wannabe-counsellor? I’m all for character growth, but there was none, it was more like character switch.
Loved the quote from The Drumhead, loved hearing the Klingon theme once again, I would have loved to hear it a bit longer. Picardo is killing it as usual.So, I’m seeing a slight improvement. I’m still hopeful this show can sediment into something good. I’m worried how they seem to have picked a protagonist once again, a thing I hated from Discovery.

It’s a bit weird that losing Qonos somehow wiped out the whole Klingon empire.
- Comment on Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Starfleet Academy | 1x04 "Vox in Excelso" 3 weeks ago:
I agree that the resolution should be obvious, and after the Betazed episode, it is again ridiculous that political problems are solved at a school, but then again, it was ridiculous that Picard solved all problems in the galaxy.
Eh, that’s just how shows work. Just imagine that there are a slew of other problems being solved off-screen by characters we never met.
- Comment on 35 Years Ago, Star Trek Retroactively Created New Canon, And No One Noticed 3 weeks ago:
I was alive during the '90s, I’m Italian, we had the Yugoslavian Wars, my country was involved in the Kosovo war… If you asked anyone on the street they would have told you we were living in the most peaceful time in recent history.
The Federation is huge, it’s plausible that an important conflict like the one with the Cardassians still ranked low compared to those with the Klingons or Romulans.

Calling it retconning is a strech when it mostly added new story where there was none.

This one was a bit better than the first two, but still not my cup of tea.

I appreciate the idea of moving the starfleet headquarters, I always found the Earth (US) centricity to be unrealistic. I still hope this whole future created by DIS to be retconned away, though.
