Oh hey, the system requirements for BG3 got updated: The game now needs to be installed on a SSD, even under minimum requirements.

Edit after release: The game is playable even on a HDD, I can confirm this myself. There even is a setting to compensate for the lack of reading speed (although some textures still take some time to load sometimes). In their launch preparation post Larian say they "highly recommend" playing with a SSD, though. I am very glad it's not a hard requirement!

#bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #system requirements #my ssd only has only the operating system and no space for games #all my games are installed on an hdd #ughhh #but maybe that's why I get those freezes :/ #now what do to... #would it be better to get an external one or a new internal ssd? #sooner or later I will need to replace all of my PC parts but I have no clue about that stuff anymore #also thank you to everyone giving tips ❤️ #but wow this is suddenly making the rounds 😅

System Collapse, ch. 3, p. 39: "I saw I had four private messages waiting from Arada, Amena, Overse, and Pin-Lee. I can’t do that right now. Pretending I’m fine for Mensah was hard enough."

8, 165: "Then he sent me a note back: So, you may not know this, but I read your letter to Dr. Mensah, the one you sent when you left Port FreeCommerce. I think you’re absolutely the right person to write this. I can’t handle that right now so I’m just going to archive it for later."

10, 212: "As I led the humans into the hangar, the contact with AdaCol2 started to drop. I sent, End session, acknowledge. It sent back, End session. There was a pause, then: Be safe. I can’t deal with that right now."

emotions: install "people respect and care about me" updates now!

i literally cannot comprehend the shit show unity is going to go through with the “exempt” charity bundles or “game demos”. Like the solution proposed rn is just “yeah we’ll make a form for you to tell us and then we won’t charge you.” I 100% believe that system is going to be rejecting cases and misapplying charges left and right, if the state of unity basic rn is anything to go by lol. they will build this nose diving plane in the air.

#game dev grumbling #perhaps im a pessimist. i see that it will be on tiered system w the install charge. but regardless. the lack of lovking in #its a slippery slope from here #unity #game dev

#kingdom hearts re:coded #khrecoded #sora #scenery #my gif #the aesthetics in this game are cool #i always loved the digital effects used in these games so it's cool to see them fully embrace the use of data #the leveling system has you inserting computer chips to power up cpus so you can get stronger #and sora's keyblades and accessories have to be installed via chips as well #it's just such a fun idea i find it all so charming

A reactionary comic about rereading a fic that I recently recommended that was way darker than I remembered, lol. I still love it for how they pretty much drive each other crazy, but that word choice and the consent issues... *cringes* At least there are valid warnings beforehand, and the first fic was pretty PG. Sorry. *laughs sheepishly*

#drawn by me #my fancomic #sort of a review of a fanfic #Death Note #lawlight #self portrait #Light Yagami #L #aggressive making out #it's just that I'm usually seen as maybe a couple steps below wholesome and felt weird about my recommendations after rereading them #and it was on fanfiction.net so they don't have the in depth tagging system that Ao3 has so there is a bit of blindness #but still thank goodness the author did provide warnings and actually recommended people skip certain chapters #L and Light are NOT nice to each other in Concerto in D Minor to say the least #that and Violins Light are still very influencial for me and for inspiring my love of these two driving each other to the edge of madness #and *spoilers* they don't even have sex in it! the majority of the explicitness is just from violence and non-consensual... torture touch? #it also follows my weird trend of starting off kind of silly to more serious when it comes to tone #and of course driving Light into a horrible crisis~ #sorry for my lack of artistic activity. I'm still in the process of drawing the next installment of my fancomic #but I did wanna do this as a psuedo apology for my recommended fics. I was honestly shocked by how dark/brutal it gets lol #I do still recommend them if you can handle it. It’s honestly not the darkest thing I’ve read lol

I’m genuinely starting to feel like “being able to use a computer” has sort of turned into like a clerk or monk thing, where there is a certain educated class of literate people who go to school to get specific training in this as part of their job, but the average person has no knowledge of it. Except that unlike most written languages, there was a brief period where the average person was taught in school how to, for example, “touch type” or “navigate a file directory” and that knowledge has been like, almost intentionally eroded by mobile and other walled-garden computer environments. It’s pretty bananas?

#like the ‘installing an OS’ discourse #back in the day I set up linux from a disc? this was not an issue for 14yo me because. and I can’t emphasize this enough. #you also had to do this for windows! #an operating system wasn’t like this weird plague that would periodically inflict itself on your computer without permission

But now I was going to have to explain the governor module to a system with no experience connecting to or interacting with SecUnits, except for me, just in the past hour. Here goes. ID: B-E-SecUnit not autonomous. AdaCol2 responded, query? Explaining the existential horror of the governor module in LanguageBasic took me through until the end of the corridor, which was at least long enough to circumvent what had to be a large installation. [...] We had gotten through the governor module conversation, which had ended this way: AdaCol2: query? (translation: why? = why is this necessary and/or why is this considered functional and/or why is this permitted and/or why is this allowed) Me: answer null (translation: I don't know and/or unknown and/or I don't want to talk about it)

loving this conversation from system collapse (chapter six) between murderbot and the system it just met who is going through a bit of a toddler "why" phase about something that is very personal and traumatic for murderbot but mb is just. so incredibly patient with it

#you know adacol2 was just going 'query?' after every single thing mb said for the entire time it took to walk #all the way around a large installation 😂 #murderbot #the murderbot diaries #mb sc #system collapse #system collapse spoilers #mb bots and constructs #my posts

Wonder if Larian's games could have been better if like, at least 20% of content from them had been cut.

Listen, listen, before you say anything - I love Larian and their mentality. This team is making incredible games, and the amount of creative energy that is poured into each of their releases is incredible. Playing their games is a joy, and hilarious and amazing.

But, but.

There can be too much of a good thing. And I don't think Larian's ever learned that...

Do you know the average percentage of players that actually finish the main story in games? 30-40% if we look at achievements across different platforms. That is 60-70% of players who never saw the end of the main story.

I've been replaying DOS2, and it's a Joy to play through, however the 'joke' that tutorial level takes about 10-15, maybe even 20 hours to complete is...not a joke. There is beauty in hiding some content, so that only the dedicated players find it, but this doesn't exactly work for RPG systems that heavily depend on level&equipment of your player characters, now does it. This basically forces players to clear out the entire map to be able to progress the story further, and while the tactical aspect of this game is big, I doubt your average player can use it to beat difficulty&enemy level curve.

I had a big DOS2 phase before, my last memories of the game are Beast's quest (BEST COMPANION WHY IS NOONE TALKING ABOUT HIM) in Arx, soo I've been somewhere very near the end of the game. I never finished it because I was frustrated with a lack of direction for the main story for a long time, and Arx was the point where I jumped games.

So yeah, I believe cutting at least 20% of content from each of the acts of that game would have helped keep the main story in focus, plus the time to complete the game might have been more affordable.

Another thing is, from the documentaries on DOS2 development, and with the Larian saying that BG3 production took the studio much closer to the edge of closing, Larian seem to have a systematic problem of forever chasing their ambitions without really caring about their costs. DOS2 development was described as 'trying to build a plane as it is taking off', a lot of features for the game have been added last minute, and BG3 release players are sort of in the same boat. So yeah, some content cutting would have helped out the studio themselves quite a lot, or let them have more time for quality testing and polish.

tldr: I believe Larians are amazing but also head over heels in their production, their games are huge and the nature of their rpg mechanics forces player to play through everything,or never finish the main story, plus the studio have a history of releasing arguably unfinished games*, so I believe they should consider cutting content for future releases both for the studio's sake and to improve the player experience

*don't @ me, DOS2 and BG3 were arguably unfinished on release. That said, Larian's 'unfinished' and Average Game Industry 'Unfinished' are very different instances, I meant that Larian clearly would have benefitted for some polish time before release

btw why the Hell are there built-in Larian-approved player modifications for the games, however Turning Them On is a crime that disables achievements??? Larian, my guys, why.

#i am not a 100000% achievemnt hunter but i do like having them it's like a cool sticker about your experience in each game #and i want my cool stickers #not a issue currently as modding community my beloved have given me the tools to make the game even more enjoyable for me #but i miss my cool stickers on console where i first played the game #also help i lose dos2 combat so much i feel like it ruined other rpgs for me? how could i ever go to limiting classs systems after this #i love class systems and speicif playstyles but dos2 is honestly god-tier good #larian studios #thank you larian for your service #polymorph necromancy summoning aerotheurge geomancer my beloved #i installed so many mods i love them all never playing base game without them again #bg3 #dos2 #divinity original sin 2 #baldur's gate 3
