It's behind a paywall

Even more aggregious is the EU's audacity to declare that tech companies must be horizontally integrated. What's next, are they going to go after Nintendo?

I know right? Paying $5/year for a hobby that I get tons of enjoyment out of is ridiculous. How dare they make money off of their work!

As an Apple fan, I do not want what these governments are pushing. Apple is vertically integrated. As a consumer, I like that. So is Nintendo, and your favorite car company, etc.

We don't need to use the law to force Apple to horizontally integrate. If Apple's charging too much, just say so and force them to lower it.

I'm just here to say that bards are awesome.

If you go with Bard, eloquence is the power build, but Valor might be more syngergistic if you still want to get in melee. You get medium armor proficiency, shields, all the spell casting goodness of bard, plus extra attack at level 6.

how does bg3 play on a non-pro/max machine? Is it doable?

Citation needed.

This strategy is only okay until you reach act 3, and then it gets crazy powerful with all the items that bump your spell save DC up.

Thanks for this! I'm excited to check it out.

But now I'm curious. Is there a tool, template, or some software that everyone's using to make their PDFs? They all have the same font, theme, format, etc.

You are contradicting yourself all over the place in these comments.

It had all kinds of rendering bugs on the iPad

I haven't been able to play with my friends for weeks on the Mac over here, but okay.

Modern Chrome and Safari used to share the same open source engine until it was forked. They're not that different from each other

I think when Apple announces battery life for watches, the measurement is for the current watch on the current software. Over time, yes your battery holds less charge, but also, the software gets new features that the newer hardware handles just fine, but the older hardware starts to struggle with. Apple doesn't provide data for newer software on older devices. There's no spec sheet from Apple saying, "if you upgrade your series 5/6 to WatchOS 9, you should expect this new, lower battery life."

But we all know newer, better features are going to use more compute - that's just how technology works. So you either 1) cut off older devices from the newer features, which users get grumpy about, 2) provide the new features but don't say anything about the impact or 3) provide new features but say how it impacts older devices and maybe provide toggles and system controls to enable/disable. I don't think #3 is really in Apple's DNA - that's more of a Microsoft approach.

That’s the ideal scenario, but really, camp supplies are so abundant in this game that it just doesn’t play out that way.

I definitely think in tier 1, casters will be better martials than martials with these changes. If they want to make all the spells cool and useful, fine, but I hope they see the obvious power creep they're handing out to already-powerful classes.

Wow, Blade Ward is amazingly powerful at low levels. Casters are truly the best melee characters.

Mine is cooler than the iPhone 13 mini that it replaced, if my one data point makes any difference.

I'm really grateful that they support Intel Macs even though Apple doesn't sell them anymore. Thanks Larian!

I also saw that Patch 3 comes out the next day.

So does that mean we get the patch early? Or do we get the Mac version and then a new patch the next day? Or worse, is the Mac a patch behind the PC version?

I really want to be able to play with my friends.
