  I’m curious to see how the combat mechanics will be accepted. Reads like Mass Effect in a hogh fantasy setting. Could be cool, but at the same time, Dragon Age fans will come to expect something more strategic.

  I think that take is short sighted. Because the next obvious step to “no right to online anonymity” is “online anonymity is illegal”, and it’s pretty obvious we’re headed that way. In that case, courts can make it pretty fucking hard to protect your right to privacy.

  I started it as well. Had weird sound issues that I had to fix by downgrading my system sample rate. It looks and feels amazing now that it works.

  The characters are great. It’s not BG3 obviously, but there’s some depth there. Like I said, it’s on the level of a good action movie plot from 20 years ago. No ones gonna get an oscar but you’ll be entertained nonetheless.

  It has a lot of Doom-like exploration for new gear and other goodies. Also a handful optional bosses which are pretty hard to beat. But the shooting revolves around basically 3 weapon types (magic types in this case): a DMR, an SMG and a shotgun. The variations thereof don’t feel different enough and the feedback lacks kick, so the shooting doesn’t feel very meaty. It’s still solid enough, but the story is definitely what carried me through the 20ish hours of the game.

  I just finished Immortals of Aveum. I really liked the story. Felt like an early 2000 science fiction action movie. It’s gorgeous looking but the shooting didn’t have enough oomph to be really fun, so I stopped playing after the credits rolled. Didn’t feel the need to 100% it.

  I would still recommend turning wifi off when leaving home. The process to identify if a network is trusted or not requires a handshake. So leaving wifi on makes you trackable by the wifi network operators and the apps on your phone with access to your wifi.

  I played a resist durge and I get the feeling I saw like at least 80% of the game. I might do a murder hobo illithid run at some point, where I drag all my origin companions to the dark side. But another 100 hour run just to see the remaining 20%… I don’t know, seems like work.

  Couldn’t participate in these threads for a while, because it would have been the same game over and over again. But now I’m finally free! I beat Baldurs Gate 3 with a 150+ hours resist dark urge run.

  I started Immortals of Aveum as a palate cleanser. Pretty decent FPS with a cool story and lots of secrets.

  That’s not quite what I meant.

  The argument I most often see and is that TikTok should stay because Facebook and Google are just as bad. That’s stupid because domestic espionage is obviously worse than foreign espionage to any government.

  If your argument is that the TikTok ban is good and Facebook and Google should be next because of the similar practises then I’m 100% with you.

  I don’t understand why people get so upset about this. Yes, Google, Facebook, etc. hoard your data too. But there’s a big difference wether that data is hoarded domestically or by a foreign nation that is pretty blatant about their industry espionage and political propaganda. Yes, the US do it too. But you really can’t blame a country for protecting it’s interests, be they ethical or not.

  Oh man that game is such a hidden gem. The art style is gorgeous and the puzzles are really organic and make you feel like you’re getting smarter.

  I recalled that too. It was like 15 years ago think. The whole thing was a disaster. Adoption was as much an issue as compatibility. Linux and LibreOffice has come along a log way since then. But so did MS. Not even google manages to compete with the level of integration and interoperability MS has. Also, being a state organized enterprise, you just know the transition phase is gonna be chaos incarnate. I just hope the top management is ready for the the fight. I truly believe it’s worth it.

  Do you have examples for the sites that don’t render correctly? I’m genuinely curious since I haven’t encountered that issue in like a decade.

  Didn’t Stargate have a show inside the show called Wormhole Extreme or something like that? And Peter DeLuise who directed Stargate was the director on the fake show as well.
