Well, if they're gonna ruin the detail view I'll permanently switch to list view.

Baldur's Gate 3?! BG3 already exists, and it's called Throne of Bhaal. There's no good way to continue the story, the mind flayers where not set up in any way to be a major threat, they are too low a challenge rating for a Bhaalspawn who embraced their heritage and became a deity, it makes no sense to continue their story, and nobody was asking for a third entry because the trilogy was complete!

Make it Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance 3 if you really want to use the Baldur's Gate title, but don't just make a sequel for a finished story that isn't served by it.

This is like making a sequel to Legacy of Kain: Defiance. Nobody is asking for it, the story is complete, adding any more on to it wouldn't make any sense.

If you want to use the setting, just make a spin-off, don't just tack on an unnecessary sequel.

Oh, and boo google i guess.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyWhy is that disappointing?
I mean, I use like one KDE app. I expect when I click "install" in the software manager it pulls in like all of KDE, but who cares? My hard drive is partitioned, and nearly all of it is for /home because the actual system hardly takes up any room by comparison, and adding KDE stuff really makes hardly any difference and it's not like I have to manage the dependencies. So who cares?

I don't like GTK3 apps because the GTK file picker is tricky to configure when compared to the Qt one. I also don't like GTK's propensity for Client Side Decorations as it means apps don't look like they fit in with the rest of my desktop.

Quoting: melkemindI see quite a few new mascots I don't recognize. Is there a cheat sheet for them?

This page [External Link] lists most, if not all, of them.

Hey, you'll regret those words when it's finally released... in 2600.

I don't like Artifact. The lanes concept makes the game feel too confusing and I don't like the end-of-turn shop mechanic. I played a bit of Yu-Gi-Oh back in the day, and I had a lot more fun with that than with Artifact. If they do go F2P I hope I get a refund, otherwise I would be rather miffed.

Oh joy, considering what the P&P game has turned into in the intervening years there is a greater than 0 chanche this is gonna be a trainwreck. Ah well, may be fun to watch the fireworks when it crashes and burns.

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoPractically every days Tim Sweeney is kicking Gabe Newell in the balls, and the fat guy doesn't even react because He lies on the floor almost passed out!

Tencent kicking Valve's ass? I think you need to re-check your numbers. While Epic did quickly rise to nearly the same total user count as Valve, it seems like most of that is Fortnite players. People are also starting to take note of their bad business practices (exclusives up the wazoo) and many are dissatisfied. Check the twitter announcement that Outworlds is gonna be an Epic exclusive the coming year. Seems like they're not gonna have many sales on PC until they can release on other platforms.

Considering the ability to choose the mods you use is so important I think this platform is gonna take off like the Challenger.

I will say this, it's definitely not a user friendly game.

Yeah, standard procedure for people new to the X series is to go to the forums (https://forum.egosoft.com) and reading the beginners guide for the game you're on.
