She knows she is in the minority.

I am just sad she’s missing out.


Witcher 3 is my number 1 game of all time. My wife won’t play it because she hates Geralt’s voice.


We’re playing on XBox Series X, and it behaves reasonably well. We typically split-screen while exploring, and merge the screens during battles.

When playing Divinity:Original Sin 2 we remained in merged screens 90% of the time, but for some reason it feels off in BG3, so we go with the merge only in battles.


Baldurs Gate 3 split screen with my wife.



This sounds like exactly my response to a ”Christian” movie. They are so ridiculously bad because to earn the label “Christian” they have to be preachy.


I’m gonna have to refire up my 2024 save.




That should go to someone who has fewer means than I do. But thank you for the tip.

Besides I’m an XBox fanboy!



Oh believe me I’m well aware. But 99% of those auxilairies are LADYS auxiliaries. I don’t qualify.



Well that’s the end of me ever doing anything productive for the rest of my life.


My absolute favorite AC game. My wife just got me Sideshow’s Edward Animus statue for my birthday. It’s stunning.



My son just said the same thing. Game Freak are actually going to have to do some work!


Nintendo and Game Freak execs have wet dreams about developing a Pokemon game this interesting.

They haven’t iterated on their formula since the first game. The 3D version could have been a 2D re-skin.



I’m right there with you BC2 was the highpoint for me and absolutely nothing has scratched that itch since.


Wait, rights? Civil liberties?

I’m probably in favor of net neutrality legislation (I’m not 100% sold on the concept as the whole issue of monopolistic ISPs is a government created issue, so asking government to resolve it doesn’t necessarily work for me).

But you completely lose me when you equate Internet access with civil liberties and rights. We have no more right to an Internet than we do to an ice cream stand on the corner.



How does this apply here? “Had plans” sounds to me like they were never implemented. If they executed on those plans that worked certainly have been an issue.



Can anyone point me to any cases where the lack of net neutrality has harmed customers.

I don’t believe I’ve seen any, but I also have not been paying very close attention to the subject.


My problem right now is I created my character and am very happy with them in character creator, but when I look at him in game I’m unhappy. I’ve even paid to tweak him a bit and it’s better but I’m still not happy.


100% agreed! It’s worthless I’ve spent some time trying to protect myself to the map and it’s nigh -unto impossible.

Stunning oversight, and I have no idea how the play-testers didn’t say “nope! Do something different!”


So grateful they put spoiler tags on the release notes! That’s awesome!



I am older than Pong. I’ve lived through all the art styles, and going backward to pixel art usually frustrates me. I’m a huge fan of Synty’s low polygon style. I think they do great work


This is a really interesting take, I’ve never thought about RPGs this way. I’m guessing this is why Witcher 3 is my favorite game of all time, followed by Red Dead Redemption and and GTA V.

Thanks for giving me a new take on this.


Couldn’t have said it better. Figuring shit out is half the fun.


Playing 2 right now and I love it, but the difficulty! Playing on the easiest difficulty just to figure out what’s going on everywhere.




XCOM2 and PGA Tour and watching my wife post Skyrim.


I have the AAWireless in my 2020 VW GLI.

For the most part it works very well and I am very happy with the purchase.

It does have some quirks.

Sometimes it crashes and reboots, this can take some time. This is a rare occurrence.

It struggles with more than one connected device. If my wife and I are traveling together, it’s a bit of a crapshoot whose phone it will connect to. My understanding is that the dev is working to resolve that situation.
