I’ve been playing on “console” (SteamDeck) so I know the UI is different but the issue I’ve found is that there are three different “inventory” options and two different “loot” options, and each behaves a little differently.

For example if I loot a corpse, you’re right I can send to a specific party member. However if I loot a chest, that has to go to me.

Similarly when I the character sheet inventory view I can sort by certain methods and then L3(?) to exit that menu. If I’m selling something it’s still (L3?) to open that menu, but B to exit it. Also the sorting options aren’t the same. Also switching between characters during a trade event is one button. However switching on the character sheet is three buttons. There is also a third lesser used “put in device” menu with even fewer sorting options and you can’t switch characters.

The game is excellent and you can get used to these things but I do sometimes have to spend time just sorting things.

I want shorter games, with worse graphics, made by people who get paid more to do less.

Honestly that’s an excellent summary.

Don’t get me wrong BG3 is probably one of the best games I’ve ever played and I eventually want BG4 or whatever expansion/spin-off/sequel they want to make. However I waited 23 years between BG2 and BG3, I don’t want to wait that long again, but I can wait.

But to your point I want good games. I don’t need 100+ hour adventures. In general I don’t want 100+ hour adventures. Those should be rare. I want games that I can finish (at a casual pace) in a weekend or two.

Portal 1? Braid? Both are short puzzle games that are absolutely fantastic.

Stanley Parable? Gone Home? Excellent story games. You can beat them in about as much time as it takes to watch a movie.

Exactly. I know in “internet time” it’s been forever. Reddit kicked me out. Lemmy (and similar sites) exploded with users. Twitter closed out strangers. Threads launched. Twitter opened the door a little. Lemmy instances experienced an XSS and were vandalized. Some are still down or in various states.

It’s been a crazy week. One fucking week, and it was a vacation week (for many).

And I know this entire investigation is into accounts before all that. I just hope the folks (admins) take a minute to really let this all play out a little bit and sink in.

That’s me. I’ve been creating multiple accounts and hopping around. It’s only been a week so nothing permanently planted quite yet.
