Might be game specific. I don't know how to solve the issue but maybe you could try opening the game in a different virtual desktop and switching desktops and see if that causes it. Or press the meta key and see if that causes it too

That's surprisingly new. Wonder what causes the incompatibility

Witcher 2. The game. Assasins of kings. Letho captures Triss at the end of act 1 to get away and Geralt can recue her on act 3. Yennefer is only ever mentioned in name. Please look things up before condescending

W2 was spent looking for her the entire game

Witcher 2 was spent looking for Triss not Yennefer.

The books are canon for the games, yes

And I said maybe they shouldn't be because warping the game story to fit the books is what I'm complaining about in the first place.

If you were fine with how w3 handled Yen before reading the books good for you. But it was not at all clear for me and that's all I said. Sorry for being brash but it is obnoxious to then get comments preaching about how Yennefer is objectively right for Geralt and Triss is just fan service and the game itself favoring Yen would make sense if only I were to read the books

As far as I understand the games aren't book cannon right? Then let the books not be game cannon. It is unreasonable for the books to be required reading between witcher 2 and 3 or even to expect the audience to know to read them.

A never before seen character from the books showing up in the game doesn't bother me because they're new and they're explored as if they're new characters. Yen bugs me because she's a new character to me but as soon as they meet in Skelliga, her and Geralt get back together as if nothing has changed since the books. On the other hand Triss is an established character who has a history with Geralt that I know of, but now both are giving each other the cold shoulder without explanation.

In terms of Triss and Yen the books don't give context to the status quo. They become the status quo.

I really don't care about the book. If anything his relationship with Yen feels like pondering to the book audience without much of a setup or explanation in-game

No

So the problem is that anyone can do it?

Oof I forgot that she was drunk in the party

Even better, MPV Media Player. Vlc has bad color reproduction

Didn't play that one yet but I did read that in w3 if you try both you fail both but I already failed Triss so..

For me Yennefer seemingly popped into existence at the end of the last game but even then it wasn't clear what she was to Geralt. I guess that's a way to interpret the "took advantage of" line but to me it sounded more like it was about how seemingly half the women in this world is trying to seduce Geralt and Triss succeeded.. She didn't strike as particularly obsessive neither. If that's why Geralt is upset at her I don't see why he's not also upset at his other friends who turned a blind eye and didn't mention Yennefer.

Anyways I'm more upset about the game seemingly overriding my choice with Triss than ultimately ending up with Yen. I'm not sure how to to roleplay a Geralt who up until this point didn't care for Yen but suddenly divined that he fucked it up with Triss so she's the only option left..

And I don't know if I'll ever fully replay this game, it's simply too long

I would like to experience the different paths the game has to offer but I don't think life's long eough to play a 300 hr game twice when i could play 10 others I've never experienced before

The fact that that made the news shows that that's not a common occurance, not to mention that it was the guy's own government who snatched his phone, not a foreign spy agency.

Trump has been attacking anyone who supports Palestine regardless of if they are crossing the border or not. People really should be cautious when travelling to countries with authoritarian governments but that's not because they're crossing a border or are in a foreign country, it's the same caution that needs to be observed by anyone living in such a regime

I'm not talking about oop, I'm talking about the guy I replied to who said:

Any foreign travel (for whatever definition of "foreign" applies to you), should be made with the assumption that someone will be attacking your electronic devices.

Fair, then let me make my point clear: most people don't have any reason to think they're in any more danger of getting hacked abroad than at home. And I strongly dislike how blatantly paranoid comments like the above one get so many upvotes on lemmy. This is the geek's version of doomsday prepping

I don't know who you are but most people's threat model doesn't need to include a foreign government spy agency physically attacking their phones. That assumption itself is insanely paranoid.

Edit: Hello?? It feels weird to ask this are yall high profile government workers or else what makes you think foreign governements will be so interested in what you have in your phone?

Make it a sort of immersive sim? You can solve the puzzle or you can find your way around

Still waiting for the resurgence of Ben 10. I feel like WB games would have made a standalone game a la arkham by now if it wasn't so mismanaged
