There are a few scripts for use with tampermonkey (a user scripting plugin) that I find very helpful. Specifically LemmyTools and lemmy-keyboard-navigation.

Still playing BG3. About 120 hours in, still my first playthrough, but I think I’m getting close to the end. Wouldn’t be surprised if it takes me another 15-20 hours to get there though. After that I need to decide if I want to play through again with different characters/choices, or do something else first (recently got Tiny Tina in a bundle and looking forward to playing that).
Played Outer Worlds earlier this year, and I agree with your assessment. I did play Fallout New Vegas later on, and while New Vegas felt bigger, I think I enjoyed Outer Worlds a bit more. Mainly I think the humor hit more consistently FOR ME in OW, and I really think the humor kind of makes the game. But of course humor is very subjective, so I understand why a lot of people prefer FNV (not to mention it has a certain built-in cachet from all the other Fallout games).
Anyway, I enjoyed it, I’m glad I played it through to the end, but I wouldn’t play it again (e.g. to try different playstyles or run through with different companions). Glad you are also enjoying it!
Saw them perform just a couple months ago after having not seem them in over a decade. They put on an AMAZING show. So much fun, such incredible energy, and they’ve really taken their live performance to the next level. I highly recommend catching them on tour if they ever come near you.
OK, I finally took the plunge on Baldur’s Gate 3, and, coming from playing several hundreds of hours of Solasta recently, the first thing I noticed is the lack of a combat grid....
Ultimately, the world is not a grid. So while grids may be great for pure strategy games like XCom (and I really enjoyed XCom, not knocking it at all), I think a lot of people would say that for more story-focused games like RPGs, they break the immersion. Thus, BG3 (which I’m also really enjoying) does not use one. Neither do any of the party-based RPGs that I can think of off the top of my head. For me personally, it depends on the game. I am perfectly happy without one in BG3. But I enjoyed having one for XCom, and more recently for Warhammer 40k Mechanicus. I would offer that as a suggestion if you are looking for a gridded turn-based strategy game.

Good call. Thank you for doing what you need to do to support the site and protect the users as necessary. And as always, the honesty and transparency is appreciated.
No. And while I will treat those who do with the same level of dignity and respect I grant to everyone, I secretly do think less of them for it (especially when I see them perpetuating the indoctrination with their children).
Ok, maybe not Faerun, but just spitballing here - Total War: Blood War. Massive armies of devils vs demons, with yugoloth mercenary forces for hire, spread across the battlefields of the lower planes. Could tie in nicely with a re-release of Planescape as well…
Current game pet peeve - the delay after each enemy acts in combat in Baldur’s Gate 3. I absolutely love this game, but big combats take longer than they should because after each enemy acts, there seems to be a 5-10 second delay before moving on to the next.
Favorite game pet peeve - The overall poor performance/memory management in HBS’s Battletech game. Again, love the game, have put nearly 2000 hours into it over the years, but damn the performance can just be painful sometimes.
HBS’s Battletech (2018). One, it brings me back to some good high school memories playing tabletop with my friends, and two, you can never have too much big stompy robots shooting each other.
I’m the most socially awkward person I know, and I’m still thinking what the actual fuck at this. Like, you’re seriously such an incel you can’t carry on a simple conversation? This is peak techbro.
I just finished watching Invincible: Atom Eve, and I felt like talking about it. In short, I thought it was fantastic! In a world filled with superhero origin stories, this was the superhero origin story I didn’t know I needed....
I think that’s a fair criticism. I chalk it up to her being young and inexperienced at this point, and as a result thinking about being a superhero just like the ones that already exist. It didn’t bother me personally as I was watching, but fair point nonetheless.

I just finished The Dungeon of Naheulbeuk: The Amulet of Chaos. It was fun. Nothing groundbreaking, but an entertaining turn-based party-based rpg, with an emphasis on tongue-in-cheek humor. I recommend it if you like that sort of thing.
Finally picked up God of War last week on sale, so I’ve started that now for the first time. Liking it so far after just around 2-1/2 hours, and looking forward to seeing how it unfolds.
For me it was Jeff Kinney. I was meeting a different author I love, but there wasn’t enough room downstairs and we had to go up. Turns out that’s exactly where Jeff Kinney works! He’s the author who got me into reading so I thought that was so cool
As a teenager, I worked in a local single-screen movie theater in an affluent town and had occasion to meet John Delancy (Q from Star Trek Next Gen) who was very friendly, and Jason Robards, who was pleasant enough but kept to himself. I’ve met a few famous people at conventions, but the best was Adrienne Barbeau, who I met at a horror convention in Worcester, MA years ago. It was early and there weren’t a lot of people around yet, so we went over to say hello. We spent about half an hour just talking, commiserating over the then-very-recent cancellation of Carnivale on HBO. She was an absolutely lovely person in every way.
For context, I live in Hong Kong where most people drink tap water after boiling first. Some may install water filter but may still boil the water. Very few drink bottle water unless they’re outside and too lazy to bring their own bottles....
US here, live in the vicinity of Boston, Massachusetts. Water is very safe out of the tap - we get an annual report of what's in it from the Mass. Water Resource Authority (MWRA) and it's tested regularly. Tastes good too, if I'm honest. I would say that MOST developed areas of the US have perfectly safe drinking water out of the tap, though it doesn't all taste very good (looking at you, Washington DC). However there are some more rural areas where the water out of tap is not safe for drinking, and where boiling or bottled water is recommended. I remember traveling out west back in 2010 and being surprised at this.
I’d love to be able to click on a link and have it open in a new tab rather than in the current tab, without having to specifically right-click and tell it to do so. This was the behavior I had set up back on reddit, though I don’t recall if that was a built-in feature or part of RES, and it makes browsing a lot more...
