It's not about competing, it's about providing an alternative. GNU/Linux isn't really competing with windows as a desktop OS for the masses, but people who want more freedom and privacy get the alternative. Fairphone isn't competing with Samsung or Apple either.

I feel like if we follow your line of thought, then we should never try to do things better because the existing is too big.

As they are a small studio, they did not have the money to buy all dnd licensed content upfront (Wizard if the Coast makes it quite expensive). When the game was a success, they added dlcs for additional races/classes they could now afford.
Lost Valley and Palace of Ice add new campaigns (they are ok but I enjoyed the base campaign more).

If having all the races and classes from official dnd content matters to you, I would recommend the Unfinished Business mod (you can find it on nexusmods). Personnally I played the first campaign with the limited options from the base game and I still had a real blast :)

Dunno if it's on sale, but Solasta Crown of the Magister is a great dnd game made by a small studio. It's much shorter, but imo the general mechanics are really good and the use of height in combat is better than in bg3.

Yes you can.
I spend a lot od time fixing things that I broke because I like it and it's a hobby for me.

I installed Linux Mint Debian Edition on my SO's laptop last year (old thinkpad t470) and I haven't had to do anything about it since then. The installation process was easy, I didn't bother changing the defaults and just clicked "Next" on most of the steps.

Can you share with us the hardware you'll be using ? In most cases it'll be easy peasy, but some stuff is known to cause issues that we might be able to identify before you start your journey.

Yeah let's drown an entire population because the government is rotten, sounds like a great idea. /s

Thanks for the list !

I guess it depends on the area. In France, airbnbs are usually cheaper than hotels (especially if you're 2 or more). Plus having a kitchen means saving quite a lot on food compared to having to eat at restaurants or takeouts.

Interested as well :)

In France, we've had electric trains since the 60s, diesel train were phased out except for some lines with exceptional difficulty.
We also had electric streetcars in big, medium and small cities before ww2, they were taken out to make more place for... ICE cars.

Public transportation tech has been ready for a long long time. Cars are the worst way of transportation, saying tech was not ready because electric cars were "garbage" does not make a lot of sense.

Why would you feel the need to comment on the nurse's appearance ??

TIL Suicide Linux was a thing, thanks !

Not everyone has the same ability to infer from asituation that a sentence is sacastic (especially with written speech). Sarcasm punctuation makes the joke more accessible, which I believe is a good thing.

@pacmondo and @cubbytustard thanks for your answers :)

I did not know that, would you mind elaborating ?

I tried It Takes Two with my SO, and they hated it because of the need to control the camera - so we went to 2d platformers after that.

I finished It Takes Two with my sister, small warning: the game is mostly feel good at the beginning, but in the end you're gonna have to do some horrible things.
I didn't mind - I've done a lot worse in other games where I didn't have to - but she did not enjoy these parts of the game.

Outside, why wear a hat if no one can see it ?

Solasta is one of my current favorite games :)
It's (imo) better than bg3 for dnd mechanics, combat is good, and the story is ok (it lacks the vastness of choice you get in bg3).
I recommend using the Unfinished Business mod (you can find it on nexusmods) as it adds lots of species and classes and some QoL improvements.

I wish our current lead would read your post !
