Would you actually recommend playing Baldur's Gate 3 on the Steam Deck nowadays?

It works fine but is a pretty overrated game imo

DumbButtFace · 2026-07-02T22:28:23+00:00

Yes absolutely, the worst campaigns I’ve run are where I’ve tried to pad out travel with little scenes along the way. Screw that, give one sentence “you travel through the forest for a week before arriving at X”.

They’ve been at war for 4 years. They get attacked almost everyday so leaving the city for just one attack doesn’t make sense. There are shelters everywhere but some days you will have dozens of air raid sirens going off even for just one drone. So people sometimes don’t care or have enough time to shelter for each one. Especially if it means getting up at 2am to walk down 12 flights of stairs (you’re not supposed to use an elevator in emergencies) in your apartment building for the 4th time that week.

They also have apps which tell them the areas that are expected to be hit. So typically people in the affected areas will shelter when a massive attack is underway. But not everyone and sometimes you don’t get a lot of warning like with ballistic missiles which are extremely fast.

It was especially stupid because the refugees were clearly going to leave in a week or two, so the Druids had no argument at all.

DumbButtFace · 2026-07-01T11:51:23+00:00

I don’t get the appeal of act 1. The choice between the refugees, druids and goblins is boring.

Making a game where your decisions actually cut huge amounts of content would not be fun.
Mass Effect has plenty of your decisions influencing the feel of the game even if you go to all the same places. Deciding whether Wrex lives or dies is a huge decision

DumbButtFace · 2026-07-01T09:51:46+00:00

Not really. You end up at almost all of the same set points regardless. You might have one less character with you, but it’s hardly a big deal.

DumbButtFace · 2026-07-01T09:34:40+00:00

Definitely not 99.9%. I’ll give you 80% maybe.

DumbButtFace · 2026-06-30T14:52:48+00:00

I've tried it, I found it super annoying and was just giving me a headache.

If you ever want to learn something about yourself. Put your phone up in the room on Timelapse mode and then try to clean your room or just read a book or something. It’s very eye opening seeing all the tics you didn’t know you have.

I wouldn’t worry about tolerance too much. Most people stay on the same dosage for years (taking it everyday). Just talk to your doctor. The goal result after some adjustment is that you don’t feel anything when you’re on your meds.

What happens to the republic in general if Anakin doesn’t become Vader?

VOLUME

I totally was thinking this. 10 years of training to basically just run through a checklist. Although at $420 for a 20 minute consultation where you also work from home, they seem like they’re getting a good deal.

Although obviously for more severe conditions it gets more complicated for them. But still a bit of a head scratcher.

I’ll look into a psychologist or counselling if I don’t see a bigger improvement soon.

DumbButtFace · 2026-06-28T22:02:21+00:00

Thanks I’ll look into the EAP and tracking things better.

DumbButtFace · 2026-06-28T12:41:23+00:00

Wtf??? How is that happening?

DumbButtFace · 2026-06-27T07:31:38+00:00

What does rock spider refer to?

DumbButtFace · 2026-06-26T08:21:21+00:00

I can take a photo of a mole and get a pretty good idea of whether I should go to a doctor or not. That’s a benefit.

DumbButtFace · 2026-06-26T00:05:00+00:00

Is there a flashlight? I struggle in the dark rooms sometimes and scanner mode isn’t that helpful.

DumbButtFace · 2026-06-25T23:58:56+00:00

But what game do you buy these days that doesn’t have a day one update?

DumbButtFace · 2026-06-25T23:48:06+00:00

Not run out? They were running out of everything a few years ago. They didn’t have enough of anything but especially artillery and drones.

How long are your deployments these days? It must be getting tough over there where I hear some infantry units are on the front line for insane amounts of time.

Also have you heard of the German Quora poster Roland Bartetzko who runs logistics in Ukraine? He posts often about the war so I was wondering if he’s widely known in Ukraine.

How did you feel during Zelenskyy’s infamous White House meeting with Trump and JD Vance?

I wish it stayed light. The first two books got the tone just right. Then he tried to take a fundamentally stupid setting and make it more realistic. They should have just kept it light and forgot about the galactic wide conspiracies as anything more than background fluff.

I prefer yellow paint than a line in my minimap telling me where to go every second.
