I was wondering what that crazy bar at the bottom was! Sometimes it's green for me. Yet another reason to keep on the degoogling train...

I have this exact same issue with Proton VPN using RethinkDNS...my Wireguard proxy works for a while but then randomly cuts out (on my second user profile). In my case it looks like there's a kill switch when that happens at least but still...can't find any reason why it keeps dropping.

I prefer the first game as you're exploring a wild and hostile world while trying your best to survive and discover what's actually going on. You have no idea why assassins keep coming for you, what's going on with the iron crisis, or how it could possibly relate to you...but for some reason, you are tangled in a messy web of intrigue, politics, and danger.

You're right...you are SO underpowered and helpless in the first game. Getting to any town is such a relief. But this makes adventuring so very worth it and so rewarding. I feel like the first game is brutally realistic, whereas the second is more fantastical. I love the cool gear and interactions of BG2, but the first one just feels so urgent and pressing to me.

The EE versions really changed the game...so many improvements without needing mods. However, the modding community is amazing as well. NPC banter packs, item packs, new quests, etc...there are so many options to modernize the game!

Reading this really broke my heart...what a tragedy...

Baldur's Gate, both 1 & 2 on PC (I prefer #1). I had to actively consider whether it had been at least 25 years it came out and...I feel super old now 😅.

They manage to make even the most mundane things fun for kids. My four year old loves doing the Morse code and braille activities...such a great app with so much to do!

Alexis Bledel is actually Hispanic, so this is intriguing...let's make this a thing!

Same as it ever was...

Fennec is a great project but it doesn't have as many privacy-oriented changes as Mull had. For a true successor, I'd recommend the Mull fork IronFox. You can use this gitlab link to download via Obtanium!

The irony here just churns my stomach...

Being able to mod Skyrim on Linux was the final nail in Window's coffin for me too! Haven't found a game that doesn't work...even anti-cheat games like Elden Ring work flawlessly with Proton.
