                                            I'm still not over the end of PiranhaBytes, I think it was one of the most tragic losses of recent video game business craziness over the last few years. A studio who refused to accept that "better graphics" was an acceptable compromise to actual gaming and went their own way and made three memorable gaming franchises that, even with their issues, interest me more than anything a AAA studio has ever put out.

                                                I don’t have any opinion on the sequel though. Is it as bad as Lemmy makes it out to be?

I copied the data off, formatted ext4 and copied everything back on.

                                                                                Started updating the Attract Mode paths for thumbnails and movies to match the new ext4 file system setup. Hit the button accidentally to start a game and it.... unexpectedly booted up? Turns out the paths still match and even though I never installed wine, Windows Retroarch was running Doom 32x. I was... quite confused that this functioned at all.

                                                                                That's fine for now, but I intend on moving everything possible to local native Linux versions of the emulators I use except in cases where I cannot like TeknoParrot. So far, so good. Just gotta be very careful about case-sensitivity on ext4.

                                                                                A lot more work to do including some theme filename updates to fix some missing images.

Mittlerweile gibt es aber auch gute Alternativen. Mit den launcher bekommt man so gut wie jedes Spiel zum Laufen, egal ob Steam, , , oder . Ich empfehle GOG, alle Spiele laufen auch offline weil sie frei sind, die Spiele gehören einem also wirklich, kein ! Bin auch schon gespannt auf die Linux Version des GOG Launcher.

Don't know of I will play Fallout 4 or Path of Titans though. I haven't played Path in weeks. I miss my friends. For those interested in Dinosaurs, Path of Titans is free to download and play 4 dinosaurs for free. The full game is $30 and so so worth it. It is funded by Kickstart and has its own launcher (not available on Steam). It does require internet, but doesnt require a mega good gaming PC. If you play Path, send me a friend invite.

I've been playing Guild Wars 2 since it was released (2012...and Guild Wars "1" before that, since 2005 or something) but I have never been bothered with making legendary gear, as it simply isn't needed. Anyone can rock up to any fight with whatever gear you've acquired by just playing, and it'll be (just about) as good as legendary gear. So I haven't really felt the need to grind for them myself. Until now.

                                                                                                                                    I figured last month I should perhaps look in to it anyways. There is a convenience factor with Legendary gear and...well, something to aim for. So I looked at my options, realising I had quite a few bits and bobs in my storage. I was pretty much halfway to the Legendary greatswords Sunrise and Dusk. I got Dusk within that week, so have been sorting out the final bits for Sunrise when I realised if I have them both I can actually create Eternity, which is a combination of both Sunrise & Dusk (and thus twice as valuable).

                                                                                                                                    Said and done. I now have Eternity. What should I go for next? I am thinking I should probably aim for armor. Or perhaps the trinkets...? I will probably sell Eternity anyways, I actually don't think it looks all that good, and I don't really use Greatswords on any of my 9 characters...

But, I plan on continuing onward with Silent Hill f in moving forward in that title and seeing how progressively eerie it becomes.

I think it's time to do the same for the arcade machine (though running Attract Mode). Maybe I'll write up a blog on it if anyone would be interested?

When I say "oh, the AI is broken in this game" they're like "Why are you using an LLM", and I have to explain it.

I never got into Minecraft. Since I didn’t really understand what it was about, I didn’t want to buy it and it never seems to go on sale.

I think that is what it is called. It is the one that gives it Minecraft like functionality.

                                                                                                                                                                                "Just take the time to configure <insert whatever Linux emulator you use>" I hear you say. Guess what? I don't like picking up a tech support case just to run a new game. Oh, and when it gets updated, having to do the same again.

And it's true, it feels that way. The city is friggin' *huge* and there is a side-quest or event at every corner, not to mention countless areas to explore and narrative threads to follow.

                                                                                                                                                                                                          This seems like a weird thing to complain about. If this was an actual pen-and-paper session it would be great, actually.

                                                                                                                                                                                                          But in a video game context, there is a different metric on which you measure progression: Levelling. People might deny that, but it feels *good* getting that XP for your exploits bringing you further to that next increase in power and ability.

                                                                                                                                                                                                          BG3 has its characters capped at Level 12. A decision that makes sense, balance-wise, because the already badly balanced 5th edition completely falls apart after that.

                                                                                                                                                                                                          So going through Chapter 3 feels like you're being frozen somehow, walking on a treadmill with no real purpose. You're here to kill the Absolute, right? So let's fucking gooooo.

                                                                                                                                                                                                          But you don't. You help a lot of people with their problems, find a missing girl, solve a murder case (which doesn't serve much of a point in the grand scheme of plot things), find the scattered remains of a clown (Orin has *a lot* of connected content compared to the other chosen), meet crazy people in the sewers or get involved in some artist-mummy-drama.
                                                                                                                                                                                                          Admittedly, the whole underwater rescue mission was amazing, absolutely brilliant, but the pacing overall is whack.

                                                                                                                                                                                                          And while a good deed should be its own reward, it feels like you're doing it for nothing. You get showered with XP for your heroic deeds that do absolutely nothing for you because you reached Level 12 before even arriving in the city. There is nothing to gain here anymore. You are max level, you just want to bring the big baddie down. Let adventurers of lower level handle the little stuff.

                                                                                                                                                                                                          Yes, there is cool new loot to be found. But, ehh, the loot you want evolves with the levels you make and, let's be real, there is not much coming that truly improves your character at this point. You sell most of it. The moment you have the staff from Ramazith's tower, Cazador's staff is just vendor trash. Less redundant items, more impactful, powerful ones, please.

                                                                                                                                                                                                          And, yes, there are mods that allow levelling beyond 12. But they don't fix the problem the designers already addressed with their decision to cap progress. Basically all encounters are a cakewalk at Level 12, even in Tactical. It certainly won't get better or more interesting at Level 15 or 20. Enemies would have to scale with it, which in turn might break immersion.

                                                                                                                                                                                                          And it's not a problem with levelling in a story-based game, it's a problem how the levelling curve is made. It's a problem at the very heart of D&D.

                                                                                                                                                                                                          The design error, in my most humble opinion, is this: You cannot tell a story of this scope in D&D5 without either allowing for heroes to be ridiculously powerful, because otherwise you'd rob players of one of the most important rewards in the game, or make the levelling curve much, much, slower. But that would also be unsatisfying, seeing as you need a certain minimum level in D&D to feel halfway competent (gods, this system is broken, srsly). You'd need a flush of XP early on and then slower, way slower, progression after level 5 or so.

                                                                                                                                                                                                          Which opens another problem: If you only get to Level 12 very late in the game, you'll never truly use all of the abilities you gained until then, rendering half of the spells and powers useless (which some of them are already because of the way 5E works, but that is another topic altogether).

                                                                                                                                                                                                          Where am I even getting with this? I dunno. Maybe the conclusion here is that 5E is not a good system choice for a story like BG3. But that is always my conclusion about 5E. :neofox_woozy:

                                                                                                                                                                                                          Or maybe the modders to made further progress possible have it right. This is what D&D is about, after all.

                                                                                                                                                                                                          But levelling alone won't fix it. Maybe key encounters in Chapter 3 should be re-worked and the level cap raised to 20, because, let's be real, facing an elder brain wearing a netherese crown should be a challenge for epic level heroes. BG2 didn't shy away from letting its heroes go far, far, into the epic levels, no matter how ridiculous they got. My party was around Level 40 when they reached the Throne of Bhaal and they literally smacked god-like entities around. (which made seeing a low-level Jaheira a bit weird, tbh, wtf happened to you, girl?!)

                                                                                                                                                                                                          So maybe BG3 should have embraced the broken glory of high-level D&D as well. This is not Divinity. Original Sin, after all (where you progressed until the very end, btw). They tried to "fix" the broken parts of the ruleset but in turn broke parts of their narrative. Maybe it would have been better to just roll with it and let us enjoy our silly overpowered characters as we rake in the XP in this beautifully detailed final chapter.
