The XP is my worry too. These long CRPGs burn me out because they require almost 100% completion to get to level parity. I’m still loving BG3, but if the later acts are like Act 1 I’m not sure I’ll make it. The content is all superb, but it seems like I need to do it ALL in order to progress.

What rom hack did you play? I’ve been meaning to do another playthrough and I’m not impressed enough with pixel remaster to buy that.

Definitely, this app is now my daily driver for Lemmy (which is essentially all of my social media at this point). Great app and awesome pace of updates.

Hear hear. The steam deck is making me appreciate that the most. I initially hoped cross-platform saves would work for games on the Switch and PC, but I don’t think I’ve seen a single game where that works. It’s part of the reason the Deck has replaced the Switch for me. Steam cloud saving is usually flawless between Deck/PC.

The downside of true cross-platform is that it requires server side saving. Which usually means another launcher and multiplayer/GAAS BS. Diablo is no exception.

For more modern CT-likes I would recommend Chained Echoes and the soon-to-be-released Sea of Stars. Chained Echoes was fantastic.

Speaking of “legendary”, he played literal Satan in the movie Legend. Huge fucking horns and everything. Also RHPS of course. Truly a legend. Too bad about his stroke, but he’s still voice acting!

The wafer equipment market has more US roots than the fab market, as many tools are designed here (even if built in Asia). Their supply chains are different than TSMC/Samsung and less localized to “home country only”. Also, TSMC was bringing their supply chain with them for AZ.

Two points:

1. It’s the fiscally responsible thing for these pension funds to do. They have diversified investments, including S&P500 stocks. I hope the police and firefighter pension realized all those TSLA gains.
2. Institutional investors have POWER, and we don’t want all institutional investors to be investment banks. Why isn’t it good news that a union pension fund is holding a greedy board accountable for outsized executive pay? These guys saw a material impact in their investments at TSLA due to board BS and sued the board.

Generally yes. I played for a few hours then stopped as I wanted to keep it fresh for release…but what I did play was definitely fun. I’m excited they pulled the release ahead of starfield.

While this is inevitable, it’s also terrifying. I don’t think we’re close to Skynet, but I could definitely see needless escalation due to over-relying on AI analysis.
