    Years ago, I may have felt the same and I probably did but my life is not compatible with “getting gud” at every game that comes my way or that i even want to play. I grew up with the same systems as you as I know full well they used to be much harder and the challenge was the whole point. Not anymore so much with a lot of games.

    I have chosen 1 game to fully invest myself into and that’s BG3. I’m on my tactician run, just as I did with DoS 1 & 2 and I’m enjoying it because I’m willing to do so with that masterpiece of a gaming experience. But I also play other games when I can’t and I just want it to be fun. Hard, easy and everything in-between, I just wanna zone out, forget about my day and watch an interactive story unfold before me.

    I’m 38 and easy modes are made for people like me. I usually dont have the time, attention or patience required by some games to even have a fighting chance in game progression (looking at you FromSoft) I don’t regularly use easy mode as it does make many games trivially easy but sometimes it’s just enough where I can enjoy the story, explore a beautiful and imaginative world and see it through to the end without the bullshit. I usually have no desire to be a hard-core veteran of a game’s mechanics but I still want to play the game. If people don’t like it, we’ll, I’m still 38 and dont give a shit what others think anymore. Just take my $60 and entertain me.



  • I absolutely LOVE BG3. Currently in my 3rd play through (as The Dark Urge this time… amazing) and the one and only thing I feel they did a bad job on is their inventory system. They put in the alchemy pouch and camping supplies backpacks but nothing else at all to help manage anything else. You can switch between item categories but it’s really not enough when there are so many items for so many different aspects of game play that even those are not an effective way to manage anything in a meaningful and semi organized way. And the custom/item hot bars need to work exactly like DoS/2 bc rn they just dont cut it. DoS2 had a Inventory container upgrade but it was shit bc you had to move the items out of their bags to use them for crafting/hot bar so this inventory issue has been a problem for Larian for a long time. Larian is the gold standard for game development studios and i have nothing but respect for them but they need to get their shit together with their inventory seeing as it’s a HUGE part of the game play.



  • ☝️This post DEFINITELY NOT made by reddit corpo. Nope, no sir.

    I left reddit when RIF was shut down because of that “no API for you” bulltrash. I found lemme.world and it was like the clouds parted and a warm sunbeam shine down upon my cold, wet, and shivering body. It’s like reddit was in 2010 when I first became a daily user… but better in some ways. Smaller community, which will be interesting to watch grow as the years pass, everyone already here still trying to figure out how it can be made better and generally filling up with long time reddit users completely fed up with that corperate, ad riddled cesspool the site turned out to be. Is lemme.world perfect? No way and far from it… but that’s okay. There’s a really good bunch of dedicated computer smart folks (not me as one could imagine) continually working to mold and shape it into something that fills that dark hole left in the world of social media caused by the requirement for corperate suits needs to shove ads and propaganda down our throats between every blink we make.

    Anyways, it sounds like the response he got were likely caused by some flavor of antagonist, rage baiting posts intentionally made to stir up said responses. I’m sure this is a win for lemme.world.
