Oh yeah, this is actually an awesome point that I didn’t even think of. Thanks!

Yes. My therapist advised me only to seek official diagnoses if I wanted to try medication (for ADHD at least which I also probably have). Being officially diagnosed can lead to discriminating behaviour against you by insurance and even immigration depending on where you live.

I think I just relate to the loneliness and the competing desires for solitude and connection. It’s always nice to see a character heal from something you’re personally struggling with.

Quiet reclusive train enthusiast played by Peter Dinklage loses his only friend. The friend leaves him a small property which he moves into to live in isolation. The isolation part proves more challenging than anticipated and despite his efforts he gradually begins making new connections with the people around him.

The Station Agent

I’m Commander Shepherd, and this is my favourite cue on the citadel.

Wow, must be my lucky day.

That’s the spirit

Exactly, the climates always changing. Just look at the graph, all the bars are different heights so there’s no reason to believe anything different is going on now.

EDIT: damn, things must be really bad if I need the /s here.

I thought Larian themselves didn’t want to make another one? Could be wrong though but it would make sense for them to use their surge in popularity to create something that they wholly own.

Don’t fight it

Well, I don’t know what to tell you then, mate. If that’s all you’re trying to say I don’t think it’s particularly controversial. Maybe it’s the way you’re saying it.

There are flaws and benefits to every platform, that’s why they exist otherwise only one would stand the test of time. There’s a reason why PC gaming continues to march on. It has its flaws, sure, I wouldn’t necessarily say glaring though.

The argument here isn’t that PC gaming is flawless or you can run on literally any hardware or os, that’s silly. Just that it’s more flexible and open to choice. I run my Steam library on my Windows PC, Linux PC and steam deck. Games I bought a decade ago can run perfectly fine on all these configurations. That’s the argument I was making and why your claim of PC being more exclusive seemed so disconnected from the reality of my experiences at least.

Still, it’s not an argument to say you should use one platform or the other. Just that they are different and have their pros/cons, flexibility being a huge pro of the PC platform that’s important to some people and less so for others.

Ok I’m with you on the whole store exclusivity thing but come on. More exclusive? Having to buy from a certain store and being able to run anywhere on hardware of your choice is hardly more exclusive than being forced to buy from one vendor and only run on one system.

That said, I do think this whole argument is somewhat moot because the steam deck and switch serve very different but overlapping audiences. I own an original switch and a steam deck, I don’t think one can replace the other but I’ve opted not to buy the switch 2 because Nintendo’s anti consumer practices really turn me off if they want to tell me what I can do with the games and hardware I bought from them.

For escaping the world: car. Solitude and a background task while my mind ticks away.

Should see some serious progress on some mental and physical fitness goals. Really excited about that!

So…your face or mine?

The enemy is both strong and weak

For sure! I only heard about it recently but it’s so exciting and they’ve already made so much progress. I’ll definitely be switching once it’s deemed to be in a releasable state.
