One of these days I'll read through the PEP and figure out why Python doesn't have do-while. I understand that it's just as bad, but while(True) feels so dangerous.
I'm not sure if I'm enjoying it yet. I'm only 4 hours in and it feels like Divinity Original Sin 3 and not a Baldur's Gate game. Maybe that's fine, but it's not what I was expecting.
The combat seems more complicated and I'm having to rest after even basic encounters, but I guess that's the way BG1 was too.
Still messing with the graphics settings to get it to look decent and run ~60FPS on my creaky old Vega 56.
I have an SR540 and the controls are getting flaky. Same as the SR800 you make all of the adjustments by pressing and turning a single knob, but now it adjusts up when you turn it down, or it adjusts several steps when you turn it one click... It's done this before and it got better, but it's a strange control mechanism. I've had it for less than a couple of years.
You might consider easing in and getting a popcorn popper instead. That's how I started. There are no controls or measurements, so you just roast by ear and stop relative to first or last crack.
I actually just finished PoE2 yesterday, but I haven't given any of the Pathfinder games a shot. I played a few hours of DOS1 and it didn't really grab me.
I just installed BG3 and I'll probably start playing today. This was my concern - that it will feel like a Divinity Original Sin game and not a Baldur's Gate game. Not that I have anything against DOS, I just really love BG2.
I started playing Pillars of Eternity II about a month ago, then I was gifted BG3... and dammit, I'm going to finish PoE first. It's a very enjoyable game. Lighter in tone than the first one and a bit less brutal with the lore. This time I have a good idea who the pantheon are, but I still occasionally find myself confused about people and place names. I used my saves from the first game to start this one, but I have very little recollection of what the hell I did back then, so maybe I should have started fresh.
Sure they are - you can buy directly from Google if you want. Phones from carriers are subsidized / free to hook you into a contract, but you can also just buy a phone and pop your SIM card into it.
The developer is Jonathan Blow. You might want to give Braid a look - it's still a pretty devious puzzle game, but it's not as free-form as The Witness.
If you just want to distance yourself from Google, give OpenBoard a try. It's GBoard without the G. It's been working just the same for me, except for some reason it spontaneously decided to stop automatically capitalizing "I".
You'll fit right in.
