Can't agree with this enough. It drives me crazy when people think the Government should be run like a business. It's one of the dumbest things I've ever heard, and really shows that people don't use their critical thinking skills.
Lol just try and relax when going into a Dan Flashes shirt shop. It's a mad house in there, people literally fighting over shirts with complicated patterns. The shirt I'm wearing now cost 400 because the pattern is so complex.
I think the worry is that they can change the prices dynamically based on who is in the area.

Reminds me of this skit, although not quite the same
They're just letting their ass breathe
This would be a perfect poem to recite in Project Gorgon when playing as a cow

It's a running joke from Arrested Development
I'm not a fan of turn based games either, but BG3 is an excellent game and worth a shot.

Wtf I get no tits in my feed. Why has lemmy forsaken me?!?
Lol, I spent 45$ on it and have gotten more time and fun from it than most $60 games.
I'm fine with continuing to wait. Quality takes time
I have a friend who advocates it pretty much every day. The dude is so annoying and full of conspiracy theories its annoying as fuck
Plenty of Cajuns in the area, which is basically French-Swamp-People
I've always had a problem with these type of games where I don't want to miss story content because I highly doubt I'll play it again.
However I really had to let it go on this game and just go along with it. Now I'm in Act 3 and I'm drowning in gear. I could also buy gear to do a variety of builds if I wanted.
But don't let perfect be the enemy of good. Just play the game and do what you want.
There is a two part podcast about him on the "Behind the Bastards" that goes into some depth about what an idiot this guy is.
I've had my power go out around 10 times this year. Gotta love that TX power grid
They don't pay them minimum wage here, think it starts at $18 whereas min wage is 7.50 I think.
They do rip people off though
Aw, is your chosen ideology screwing up the entire world and people are speaking out about it? Boo fucking hoo
I actually just installed Linux on my gaming PC and it's mostly been a good experience.
