I don't think you have any concept of the size of the burning area or the intense weather conditions in the western US. Months of drought conditions then 90mph wind gusts. Once a blaze is going it will jump all over the place due to the wind, making it virtually impossible to contain until the winds start to subside. Cleaning out underbrush can help, but with winds that high fires will jump directly from tree to tree. Some of these fires only took one spark to start. And the conditions will only grow more intense as climate change continues. This is not a problem that's easy to solve.

Their games on PC still seem to be selling pretty well.

Huh I never type in portrait if I can help it, my thumbs are way too big for it. Landscape any time I'm typing and even then I wish I could make the keyboard bigger without losing visibility to what I'm typing/replying to. I also don't swipe type, have never really liked it.

There's a bug dating back to October that made Heliboard unusable for me, because it cuts off half of the keyboard in landscape. Looks like it just got fixed but hasn't been rolled out yet. Meanwhile heliboard is just really bad about learning new words (tends to think capitalized words are a different word and adds them to the dictionary when you start a sentence with them, can't seem to handle autocorrecting to a word with an apostrophe). I gave up on it and went back to Gboard and I don't think I'm going back. Honestly I'm real frustrated with the state of android keyboards right now. Swiftkey used to be awesome but MS ruined it. Gboard is better than it used to be but it barely has an options for customizing it. I don't know anything better.

Not sure I understand why you would want that. But more options for gboard would always be good.

The back and forth on twitter/bluesky over this topic was pretty wide ranging, and size/cost definitely was a topic discussed. And besides a lot of the "quality" of BG3 was the fact that it supported endless paths through the game, something which requires a lot of development effort.

Making smaller games isn't a bad thing. Every game being a BG3 would be completely unsustainable. Sure, that game was a great accomplishment, but also imagine if they'd made the game that size and it was bad. It would've probably sunk the studio. I'm all about more A and AA games. Not everything needs to be a 300 person effort.

I think the number of scammers went way up though

Been maintaining a steady set of bookmarks since whenever Foxmarks first came out. I dunno I search through them fairly frequently for stuff that I can't remember well enough to Google.

I just assumed it meant they were working on Exchange servers which is a guaranteed bad time.

The fact that your autocorrect is capitalizing Exchange makes me think you've had some bad times.

shrug I guess we'll see but I don't think it's at all far fetched to think that more people will be lining up and saving for a switch 2 compared to a new xbox, even a year after the launch. The switch is one of the most successful consoles of all time and I don't see any indication that demand for the switch 2 will be softer.
