Sure, that’s why I’m not going to play D4 either after the patch, I’ll just find a roguelike I like or will spend that time going through my PSVR backlog. But recommending BG3 over D4 is apples to potatoes for some of us.

And with an hour every other day I was not able to keep up with D:OS. It was just too overwhelming with huge story arcs, many characters and everything. I don’t have the capacity for that after a long day, it’s simply not fun for me.

BG3 is a completely different game, one you need to pour your heart and soul, and most importantly mind, into. I don’t have the mental capacity to play a full RPG after a full day of work and then playing with my kids and then chores. I have an hour maybe to chill out and BG3 would only stress me because I would forget the story between my gaming sessions and couldn’t keep up.

Whereas with a Diablo game I can log in for half an hour and have fun. I can be rewarded finding some loot, or making some progres in my build. It’s scratches a completely different itch than BG3.

Google has features that I can’t live without. Like Photos can add photos to an album based on face recognition - I have an album for my mother where my kids’ photos get added so she can keep up with what’s happening even though she lives far away from us. She posts comments that we read to the kids so they feel grandma is at least a bit involved in their lives. What’s also important is that it’s easy enough for her to use, she’s not very good with tech at 77. So, as much as I would love to get away from Google’s ecosystem, it’d be very difficult for me to give up this feature.

StackOverflow points are actually useful, you can post your profile in your resume, it’s a talking point for an interview. Reddit karma is just an epeen measuring contest.

I need my caffeine, but loathe the taste of coffee. So I drink tons of coke. If I drank the sugar variation, my size would be measured in football field units. With diet, I at least am not morbidly obese.
