Satire is well and truly dead, isn’t it?

Damn, this is with everything on max at 4K with DLSS & Framegen?

Send 'em all our way (EU) I’m sure we’ll find a use for it.

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 terrible 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.

Nonde godver

Amen. Added to that I have an extremely common name (both actually) so even if someone were to find that out, they’d still have to sift my shit from all my doppelgangers’.

The enshittification/rent seeking continues. Nothing is sacred.

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 ;)

I honestly believe VH will be the first because of his “audacity”. I 100% hope to be wrong though.

IF Van Hollen manages to return safely, he’ll have to look over his shoulder for the rest of his entire life.

But I’m not convinced he’s going to come back.

I’ve always hated Discord since the very beginning. At least now I have yet another really good reason.

Never used it, never will. Ventrilo for lyfe.

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.

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.

Just ignore Reddit. Pretend it doesn’t even exist. It’ll go the way of Digg soon enough.

Is it coincidence that the cutoff date is Hitler’s birthday?

Like the other poster said, just make it yourself. Reddit is bound to piss off more of their users and they’ll need a place to land.

If he lands on his head he’s liable to bounce back up.

If he actually believed it, that would be bad. But he doesn’t. He and all his family are vaxxed. That’s much worse. They’re just perpetuating the lie which keeps droves of uninformed idiots voting for them. At the cost of the lives of innocent children. But they won’t lose a night’s sleep over it.

Terrible sense of style though. Always so incredibly tacky.

I’m amused by the idea that the more rich and powerful these people grow, the more certain “common” things are pretty much out of reach for them: regular friendship, love, family ties. Everything is about power balance and tit-for-tat with these guys. Good luck finding anyone who loves you for “you” and isn’t after your fortune. And even if you do, good luck recognizing it and acting on it!
