I’m not that guy (the one you asked to reply…), but I will say this as a lover of the first two games - play them. They are remarkable games and 20ish years after coming out I still play them (and do so regularly). If you’re a younger gamer you may find the interface or the graphics a bit clunky, but really, you ought to give them a go.

From my time on the Baldurs Gate subreddit, it seems like 3 was less story connected (per others’ comments), but that was before some of the added characters were announced (e.g. Minsc). That said, I haven’t played 3 at all, so I can’t comment personally.

tl;dr: I don’t know if you’ll be missing out in the story by starting with 3, but you should definitely play 1 & 2 because they’re incredible games.

When I lived in Vegas my apartment complex would regularly drop blocks of ice in the pool in the summer. Surely we can scale that shit up for the oceans, right? …Right?

Isn’t a product of the fediverse yet.

This just sounds like too much work to me. I mean to each their own, so rock in if that’s what works for you. I just know I’d end up forgetting which account I was subbed into, and within the course of 1-2 months my communities would be a mashed up mess.

Welcome, Bill!

See you at the crossroads (crossroads, crossroads…)…

Well, see, nazis hate Jews (and people of color, and leftists, and…), and LGBT people, uh, well, you see, they uh… anyway you can’t block one and not block the other. See what I mean?

/s. Also, fuck off nazi punks.

…the Beehaw users seem to be generally happy with the change.

Maybe? I honestly don’t know, but it seems like it would be hard for them to tell…? If I understand things correctly, Beehaw defederates (what a word…) and now no one sees posts / communities from, say, sh.itjust.works, right? So no one really knows what they’re missing if they’re on Beehaw? Please correct me if I’m wrong, as that could easily be the case.

Hey sexy! Hit me up if you want to chat with available singles in your area tonight! Don’t worry - it’s discreet!

Yes.

There was a time I lived in Iowa, and it was the first time I lived somewhere with regular snow. I dislike cold, and I dislike dark, but those moments of walking by myself through my quiet neighborhood at night during a snowstorm were pretty awesome.

That said, I’m fully in camp summer.

I just hope OP doesn’t break both arms while they’re out doing… whatever it is they’re going to be doing.

Started on lemmy. Haven’t gotten annoyed yet and can’t currently be bothered to try yet another new thing.

Stand naked outside the window and knock.

Or, just put a letter in the mailbox or on the front porch.

Ooooh coffee. Loved that sub when I was getting into the hobby. Start it up!
