One thing I’ve learned over the years: the scruffier looking the IT guy, the more they should be listened to.

The Baldur’s Gate IP has a solid fanbase, D&D is really popular now, and also Larian knocked this one out of the park.

It’s also refreshingly consumer-friendly, like others have said.

sniff “So my vision for this game is Tron on ostriches, but with a heavy focus on medieval jousting.”

Like we needed a reason.

We need some of that now. I want crazy games again.

I think for a lot of them, they must have come up with some cool looking sprites and then tried to make a game/story around that.

Lol, I suppose that’s fair.

But people play lawn mowing simulator, power washing simulator, and truck simulator mostly for the realism.

I think if someone went all out with making some sort of bizarre simulator game like this, people would play it. Like, don’t even try to make it fun or add a story or anything, just make it as real as you can.

I’m just going to use accounts other than my one on lemmy.world for a bit while they sort out whatever’s going on.

Aye aye captain!

Great write up! I’m amazed that I’ve never played this game. Although the first consoles that I played were the NES and especially the SNES, so maybe I was born too late.

Spreading out like the fediverse is designed is good. Redundancy and crossposted content is good.

We’re seeing the biggest instances struggle with the traffic lately, so I’m just engaging more with different communities whenever they’re not accessible.

Holy shit

The fediverse came just in time. I wouldn’t have even heard about lemmy/kbin or mastodon if reddit hadn’t shut down 3rd party apps.

They seem like they’re trying to bleed a stone.

The popularity of this community might finally get me into pirating, lol. I subbed out of curiosity.

Hi Bertie!

I had no idea the rollout was still going. That sucks for y’all.

Sometimes the best tech people are weird as hell. This might be one of those cases.

Although I did hear that they censor content critical of china, which sucks.

Excited to see this!
