Quoting: drlambMy biggest gaming regret of this year is purchasing this game (for $70, too!). Played for two weeks after launch and haven't touched it since.Same here. I got a little more time out of it, probably three weeks, and then they launched that first patch which made my already struggling and completely boring to play sorcerer even more of a struggle and more boring. That's when I finally understood that the devs have zero clue why people play these style of games. They are beyond out of touch. Plus I despised the mmo-lite "features" so that was the end of that game for me, as like you said, a HUGE regret of a purchase.

As everyone else said, it is a HUGE pain to get the trash ea app running, and I also hate infesting my system (even if it is just the prefix folder) with all that drm garbage, but ... man .... the game itself is just SOOOOOOO GOOD that if you haven't played it yet, and are even a tiny fan of fps', it's so worth it. Amazing game, and even more so at that price.
Star Trek: Infinite from Paradox releases October 12

Back to this game: Maybe I'll get roasted for this, but I don't really care if they release a native linux port or not, as long as it'll run well on proton (it will), then I'll be very happy to enjoy it :)

Quoting: fabertaweit's so funny how polarizing that episode is. I absolutely loved every minute of it. Also the crossover episode. Also the rest of the entire season and the rest of the entire show. SNW is my favorite show on right now, by far. And I absolutely loathe the ActionMan movies that were put out with that hack Chris Pine.Quoting: ElectricPrism...I mean. Star Trek has been dead to me for a while now.. especially after the "ActionMan" movies painted Picard as a psychopathic killer instead of a wise diplomat sage....I've finally given up on it after Strange New Worlds had a dancing Klingon boy band - that episode was actually embarrassing. I thought the first series of Discovery was good but it's been going rapidly downhill since. No comparison with the excellent Star Wars stuff that's ongoing.
Star Trek has been action schlock for a while now.
I guess AI/Neural Networks are our only hope or restoring it to its pristine original form about showing moral conundrums and navigating ethically complex situations objectively.

Budgie 10.8 desktop released with plenty of new features

I love a good sidebar, and also love a simple modern interface, so I thought I would like Budgie. But I tried it on a live usb stick a while back and wound up being turned off by the lack of options. Turned out I guess I was more used to all the options in Plasma than I originally thought.
While I love the concept of Budgie, I think I'll continue to stick with Plasma.

REALLY looking forward to this one. Played the demo during steams summer demo fest, whatever it was called, and really enjoyed it. The topside base building was the perfect balance of simplicity vs complexity, and the underground dungeon diving was a great addition as well.
Doesn't hurt that I absolutely love the Dig series and can't wait for Dig 3!

Patch 2 for Baldur's Gate 3 coming with 'major performance improvements'

Quoting: kaimanI'm not rushing my playthrough either, so that the later acts receive a bit more polish by the time I arrive. Not that it's hard to linger in Act 1, as there is so much to do and discover. Even when I think I've already turned every stone twice, there surely is another hidden area somewhere that I missed before.Same here. I accidentally wandered into the underdark and I think I've been there now for like 3 weeks!!
And there's still some patches of black left on the map, too ...

Quoting: csutcliffof all the options, this seems the easiest! Thank you friend.Quoting: JarmerDo you know a command to skip the launcher but ensure that vulkan is chosen as the renderer? Every time I play the game I have to remember to select vulkan in the larian launcher because it defaults to dx every single time.I use Heroic for the GoG version so not 100% how to do this on Steam but if you launch the game exe directly rather than the launcher you can pick the version you want. bg3.exe is vulkan and bg3_dx11.exe is DirectX 11
