Just use Steam.

Then your bigger problem is using Windows...

I never played any of the others so I can't really comment.

I just really loved the living world - it's why I tried the game after playing Oblivion.

So few games have that - Dwarf Fortress, Ultima and Oblivion still stand far ahead of the rest.

• Ultima VII
• Baldur's Gate 1
• Daggerfall
• Morrowind
• Oblivion
• Deus Ex
• Thief
• Ultima Underworld
• Kerbal Space Programme
• Kingdom Come: Deliverance

Honourable mentions for Baldur's Gate 3, Crusader Kings 2, and Tears of the Kingdom.

Sweden has devalued the currency massively (over 20% since 2020) - so it makes for cheap foreign investment.

Spotify Connect usually works really well, I can use it on Linux, it's relatively cheap.

I don't see any reason to switch tbh.

But the lump of labour fallacy is wrong - in the end automation makes us all wealthier as goods become cheaper, and people can do more productive work (and be better educated for it too).

But how would they know? It's like Blade Runner.

This is the new luddite movement.

It really is. Degrowth is destitution and death - just look at Germany.

We need to decouple electricity production from environmental damage - build renewable power and nuclear power station en masse and invest heavily in nuclear fusion.

The real issue there is that electricity should be carbon-free with nuclear and renewable power.

This is incredible, it feels like parts of the USA are so advanced.

Here in Sweden we're going backwards, they even took out self-scanning at a lot of supermarkets due to theft.

I remember being like that with Morrowind.

Kerbal Space Program, Shadow Empire and Baldur's Gate 3.

The whole thing reeked of propaganda intended to make the left look stupid

Got some bad news for you...

Wtf is a "professional communicator"? How do you think you get there?

They just needed someone who wasn't really weird, and had a proper job. Look at Mick Lynch's interviews in the UK for example - he did great work for the union.

They should be able to get free education and training.

But more automation is always a good thing - more productivity and freedom.

It's sad, this could eventually be automated.

Now people have to waste their lives just manning checkouts.

The issue is the physics. 60Hz doesn't give you much time to do everything that needs to be calculated in the interval. All the objects can interact with one another so it's not easily independent and parallelisable.

There's still optimisations that can be made - disable physics and have only certain actions enable them for nearby objects, smaller physics range, fewer physics-enabled objects, etc. - but those all have drawbacks for the gameplay and realism too.

I prefer BG3, as DOS2 has the awkward separate armour systems - so you're forced to either target physical or magical armour specifically.

Also BG3 has Baldur's Gate which is awesome with all the city quests, etc. - lot of quests you can do entirely with stealth.

D:OS2 didn't have the branching questlines though - BG3 added a lot too, but I agree the main base of the game was there.

But yeah they're the only developer I will preorder from.
