I've watched a couple of reviews for this recently because a couple people I know just got it on recent sales. What I've seen is that it really does try to lean into the feeling of UU games... ie it's not just a dungeon crawler, but has a fleshed out story and dynamic interactions.

Looks like the recent price discount just ended with the end of the Steam summer sale... but it also looks like it drops that low fairly frequently. Though it's not like it's super expensive to begin with heh.

IDK how "modern" you're looking... Arx Fatalis was meant to be Ultima Underworld III but couldn't due to the IP being owned by EA. The people at Arkane were in contact with the devs of Ultima Underworld though, as I understand it.

Some do, but because of the prevalence of automatic coffee machines and microwaves there isn't as much of a need outside specialty coffee drinkers.

The argument about speed and convenience doesn't work in the US because of the outlet voltage as well. The 110-120v outlets don't provide the same level of power to kettles so they can't heat up as quickly. If you have a microwave it's just as fast or faster.

I was looking to add a small walk around camera to my kit. I have an om-d e-m5 ii right now and a few m43 lenses. I've been really happy with that, but I want something a little more slim and with a flip up screen (as opposed to flip out screen). IBIS is a must have for me. Other than that, I've just been looking to not spend a ton.

So in that vein I've been looking at used m43 cameras in the less than $400usd range (preferably less than 200, but I'm considering more to add features). Ones that have gotten my attention have been:

  • lumix gx7
  • lumix gx80/85
  • olympus e-pl6 (and successors)
  • olympus e-p5
  • exciting mystery option (your suggestion goes here)

I'm mostly wondering if people have used these and have any experience or advice on which is best. If there are other things to consider I don't know about that would be helpful.

The lumix gx7 seems like a really solid choice but I've never used a lumix camera before so IDK how they stack up against some of those olympus ones. I'd be buying from mpb, upp, or keh so it had some kind of warranty at least (avoiding ebay et al)... but that does bump the initial price up just a little bit.

Also, my lenses are primarily olympus lenses... which should work but I know sometimes there are quirks with putting them on lumix and vice versa. 🤷

Anyway... if anyone has suggestions or insights it would be much appreciated. 😊

Thanks.

IIRC GOG is actually partnered with HeroicLauncher... so.. it's semi official to use that... and better UX.

Oh man I hope they do it as a gritty live action grim dark retcon origin story that entirely explains Herobrine’s past starring Jared Leto as Herobrine and shows his face and eye color. /s

Yeah... "off" is the direction they can fuck with that nonsense...

Always check your public library. The ones in m area have these which cost you nothing to use because they are supported as public services.

Always support public libraries.

“The average American buys more than one new piece of clothing per week. If that matches your shopping habits, in a span of five years you have purchased more than 320 pieces of clothing.”

Who the fuck is buying multiple pieces of clothing every week? I don’t know anyone that does that. I feel like buys-ridiculous-amounts-of-clothing George is an outlier and shouldn’t be counted.

Skyrim is a first person action adventure game with RPG elements. Baldurs gate is a much more traditional fantasy RPG which I a focused on tactics and D&D core rules and character stories where action stakes a back seat. So it sounds more like you enjoy the action and immersion of Skyrim than the “RPG” side of it.

BG3 is really a love letter to the people that liked the original games and wanted more depth to the systems to try to capture the tabletop experience a little more. Since you described it as “clunky” I’m guessing that the slower tactical aspect is what you’re bouncing off of.
