    That’s what working in goddamn sales and retail for too long does for you :P

    The General Conversation Area

    It’s a common misconception, but that is in fact wrong. Businesses can choose to honour a misprice and often do simply out of goodwill, but any transaction has to be agreed by both parties. Obviously going ahead with the transaction and charging a higher price without informing the customer...

    What Games Are You Playing?

    If it's related to what I think it is, that is to say the build up of multiple resting cutscenes at the same time, you may well not suffer from it as long as you're keeping on top of camp events. I hadn't been.

    What Games Are You Playing?

    Okay, I've found my first major game breaking bug in BGIII: I cannot have sex. That's the reality I retreat into fantasy to get away from, Larian. No fewer than five of my companions want to jump my character's bones (charisma 17 working its magic) and no matter which one I choose, there is no...

    What Games Are You Playing?

    Since you're enjoying it so much I'd definitely recommend checking out the original games at some point, both of which have remasters now. I don't think playing them out of order is likely to matter given that we're 100 years on in the timeline in BGIII, they are for my money some of the best...

    What Games Are You Playing?

    Baldur's Gate III Why am I getting blamed for this terrible accident? Dror told me he wanted the floor oiling and to be brought those barrels of gunpowder, I was just following orders. Seriously though, within the game mechanics I think if I drop a brazier on him from up in the rafters out of...

    What did you BUY today?

    Baldur's Gate III, first time I've bought a game at full price on release day for about a decade (ten minutes before release because I'm told this nets me the digital deluxe content, whatever that is). This better be good.

    An exact description of modern society was exactly what I expected but still, lol.

    What you guys doing right now.

    After putting it off for the longest time, conversing with ChatGPT. I've discovered it seems to really value both cultural diversity and critical thinking, I'm putting it to the test. It's as I feared, I find conversing with it considerably more enjoyable and stimulating than conversing with...

    What did you RECEIVE today? PHOTOS EDITION!

    Who doesn’t enjoy a bit of Molly? Looking forward to rewatching this, it’s been a long time. Very nice packaging job, but there is a distinct lack of Ning & Skun ;_;

    To clarify @RadFemHedonist I think what I said regarding that issue was that the right to abortion is not something which is in debate here in the UK, the only country we as UK voters currently have a say in. Do I think US women should fight for their rights? Absolutely. Do I think that's my...

    Apologies for the late response but it looks like controversy's in today, so let's go. They can also afford to take breaks from work and immediately receive whatever therapy they like. As someone with experience with this country's sorry excuse for mental health services for average people who...

    One day I will finish that. It's only been what, 28 years? (Amiga ECS > full orchestra) Now the question is, emulate or dig the A600 out of storage and see if it boots?

    Preferential as that might be, I think it's very unlikely. Presuming democracy doesn't collapse entirely, our system requires a head of state seperate to the PM. If that's not the monarch it would need to be a president, elected either by the people or by parliament. I don't particularly trust...

    What good would it actually do though? I doubt very much that the peasants would be given their land back, all that would happen is that 1000 years of history and tradition would be replaced with some "elder statesman" (probably someone like Blair) so they can live at the taxpayer's expense...

    Absolutely it would, but I think out of fitting millionaires with exploding head collars or getting them to pay more tax, my scenario is the more achievable. :P
