Hate is always foolish and Love is always wise.
Always try to be nice, but never fail to be kind.
Never be cruel.
Never be cowardly.
Never give up.
Never give in.
BG3 is a master class in RPG fwiw.
BG3 never goes much below it’s current sale. It’s slowly going lower, but it’s going to stay that prices for a while because it’s worth the money and it’s in high demand.
Both games are on sale on resellers as well which might get you some better prices:

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.
You just need to maintain a relationship between Time And Relative Dimension In Space. 🟦

Nothing else like it out there.
I keep meaning to check this one out but haven’t yet. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1290170/Titan_Chaser/
Pushing the definition but I started when it was still in beta… Minecraft has gotten hundreds and hundreds of hours put into it.
Terarria and Starbound are both really good and scratch that same itch as Minecraft. Core Keeper is another one that has some of that feel and I ended up really enjoying.
Surprised I haven’t seen it mentioned but Cave Story was made by one guy doing everything… and everything in it is immaculate. It’s still free for the original version as well.
Stardew Valley is awesome and restarted a genre.
Crypt of the Necrodancer is awesome, and well worth checking out… also goes on sale really cheap.
Pacific Drive is a fun one to check out. If you’re from the PNW, it will hit even more.
Really enjoyed Stray. Worth grabbing on a sale.
OwlBoy was a delightful game with a lot of character.
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night was a really nice return to form if you like IgaVanias.
If you like roguelites then you owe it to yourself to check out Enter the Gungeon (isometric) as well as RoboQuest (fps).
If you want a game that’s beautiful, with emergent story and is hard af… definitely check out Rain World.
Is Black Mesa still considered indie? It’s how I would recommend anyone play Half-Life 1 these days.
Rusty’s Retirement… isn’t so much a game… sorta… but yeah… check that out.
Yeah… I think I’m less upset they changed the type of game… and more that it’s just creatively bankrupt cash-grab nonsense.
Both Tuta and Proton are decent selections.
Some of the rumblings from proton admin are a little concerning… too early to see if they’re going to have issues or not. Their service is robust and easy to use.
Tuta seems to be a fairly good choice from a privacy standpoint. They aren’t nearly as robust of a product package and using it feels a little old skool and clunky… but they’re actively working on it… so hopefully it will change.
The biggest thing with proton is that they offer a suite of products. They look to compete directly with the goog on their offerings… so they have email, calendar, password manager, file drive, wallet, whatever else… and they’re working to integrate them. So if you use a plethora of g-products… it’s more of a smooth transition because there are more analogs to use. If you have already diversified away from a monolithic product base, then this isn’t an issue.
They need their vent cores frog blasted. 💥🐸💥
