I've not been around for a while, but last time I was here there was talk of moving off of Lemmy and on to a different kind of fediverse. Is that still the case or will we be remaining on Lemmy?

Presumably you can store the glass in a metal case with some padding? It's not gonna be much more fragile than a hard drive.

Yeah that's exactly it, now imagine trying to build that as a computer game.

As you get further from spells and abilities which have a limited and defined effect on the world (I hit him with a sword, this spell sets that on fire) and towards reality-bending superpowers (wish spells, divine intervention) the 5e ruleset becomes increasingly difficult to deliver within a CRPG framework.

A few of the reviews pick up on this and say its actually not just a tribute to them, but builds on and improves this kind of genre RPG.

I was wondering where the review thread was. Still embargoed then!

Can you recommend an older game to play on an emulator instead? Do they still hold up?

Of course they are. They'd be mad not to.

I am interested to see what they do, as they've said before the BG3 engine sorta breaks down after level 12 so they might not go any higher. Presumably that means it's another 'start at level 1' type campaign.

A return to Icewind Dale or Spelljammer perhaps??

This is an instant buy from me. I loved this series and will read it again.

What matrix is missing is anyone that I know. Ultimately that is way more important than features in a messaging client.

No. You can run split screen on non-Steam Deck PCs, and in fact you can launch BG3 on a Steam Deck as if it were a proper PC with split screen enabled (it prob just won't run well).

Larian have disabled split screen on the Steam Deck to account for that lower power. They can't do the same thing for the XBox S release because Microsoft demand feature parity with the X.
