Slay The Spire - finally beat the heart.



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


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.


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.
