I wrote elsewhere that based on everything I read about gender the logical conclusion is that there are only two genders. Male and political.

Everything I’ve read and heard on the topic of gender has led me to the conclusion that there are only two genders. Male and political.

Nothing is too thick if the pressure is big enough.

I don’t understand how private trackers are supposed to be secure. They cannot guarantee that they keep out all bad actors and that means they’re basically the same as public trackers, just more exclusive and with a slightly lower risk because of the barrier of entry. I used MyAnonamouse in the past and back then they weren’t big fans of VPNs. But I will never use any tracker without a VPN.

Generally, I don’t. But the hype around BG3 was so big and it looked so fun, that I thought I could see past the combat.

I just started DA:I again and am indeed collecting shards in the Hinterlands. But it feels OK, so far. I have so many memories of that game, with the first playthrough clocking in at about 100 hours. I like being able to run around and discover stuff and with the influence score it feels like progress. But I’ll still give Veilguard a chance.

In this community? Definitely. People tend to downvote me when I voice this opinion. But it is what it is. I’ve hated turn-based games ever since I first tried some X-COM game on the Amiga. It’s just not something I enjoy.

But I wish I could enjoy BG3. Everything apart from the combat is so much fun that I really want to finish the game. But for me the combat is such a major drag that I don’t think I’ll ever play BG3 again.

Why? I hate combat. It’s not something I enjoy.

I strongly dislike turn-based combat and I would love an option for real time combat. I just want fights to be over, they distract me from enjoying games. With real time combat I just mash the same attacks until it is over. BG3’s combat is a fucking chore and it’s the only reason I abandoned the game on the second map (in that monastery ruin).

I tried a few alternatives, but the Goodreads import wasn’t working well for any of them and I miss the two people who have very similar taste to my own. Sadly I don’t know them, we just connected over Reddit at some point and it feels weird asking them to migrate.

I have no insight into the issues regarding this game, but I’ll just assume that, as with most bad things, business majors are to blame.

Most of the world does not have English as a first language and thus the meaning of the word “gimp” is not widely known. Personally I do agree that the name is dumb, but it’s a very English as a first language issue. My daughter is learning to do basic stuff with GIMP in school because it’s free. The name is not an issue because nobody knows what a gimp is.

But that’s just the Mi box with a different name…

Agreed. But it’s gotten a lot better. I think there hasn’t been a release this year without subs in the container.

The plumbing also doesn’t define which pronouns someone prefers.
