What are these ‘certain concepts’ ? I was able to enjoy Andor even though you could call it '“less star wars-ey”. It felt like it had an intersting story to tell and not just trying to fanservice.

Yes it seems OP and definitely is going to lead to a lot of warlock5

If you want, Rogue 3 / Ranger 5 is pretty nice.

Level cap seems well placed to me, obviously I want to keep getting more powerful but I think it would trivialise late game fights. The Final act seems more spread out, so it was probably easier to balance around you being level10-12 most of it.

Also you dont feel like you need to do everything as much when you hit level cap, its easier to skip things that dont feel righr for this playthrough.

Katamari Damacy is a great example, built around a very simple but satifying mechanic snd good controls.

The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom

Why is it “hype” when it’s not made for you?

I think you mostly summarised it, it Piqued the interest of:

• Dungeons and Dragons fans
• Larian / Divinity fans
• Bioware / Black Isle CRPG fans
• Older gamers are aware of the name Baldur’s Gate even if they never played it, it was highly rated and made a lot of reviewer and user lists for best game(s) ever.

Good games get buzz too, and if people keep making good gamea ir gets noticed. You could have said the same about Elden Ring last year, it seemed to make more splash than Sekiro and previous Dark Souls games even though those were quality and decently popular.

Anyone who dies of starvation was vegan at the end.

Doesn’t this encourage knocking down walls, making bigger bedrooms, reclassifying rooms as non-bedroom, and knockdown rebuilds.

I didn’t think it was too bad. They did give a fair bit of air-time to anti-trans viewpoints but I found their arguments vague and unconvincing. The very specific case stories were very humanising.

They engaged with the anti-trans movement and allowed completely baseless claims to be aired as fact.

Which baseless claims were aired as fact?

The “22% desistance” rate in the Westmead study was immediately called out as misleading and dangerous.

I didnt see anything from Jillian Spencer or Dianna Kenny that presented as “facts” they just seemed to say they were “concerned” and that they feel “gender affirming care” is harmful but they didnt have any data. Actually everyone seems to say the other sides dont have enough evidence to back up their viewpoint.

It was pretty clear to me who was open to new evidence, and who cares more about young people. It wasn’t the people speaking at rallies getting cheered on by people waving signs with hateful slogans.

Yes, I wish you could search a time range or jump to a time point in a chat.

They probably want to deny Albo and Labor anything nice.

If you can afford it: Listen to them on spotify if it’s the most convinient product + then support your favorite artists in other ways (eg. Order merch from their website, see them live, twitch, patreon).

NAH. Sucks for everyone. She mostly told you but also sent some mixed messages, it’s understandable to be a bit confused. You did deserve a clear breakup and “it would hurt you” is a weak excuse. However when you are hearing “…as a friend.” you shouldn’t consider it exclusive.

Don’t talk to him, just move on/forward. There was some stuffed learned here stuff but you’ve probably spemd enough time second guessing your past actions.
