Without knowing how you approached it, it's really hard to say why you might not have liked it. All of my friends that liked it were d&d players and treated it like a d&d campaign, where you try to make choices that a particular character would make, instead of just playing as yourself. That on top of enjoying all the little things the developers thought up, and trying to explore all the companion story routes. Crazy ways your act 1 decisions impact the content of the end game - like saving the gnome from the windmill leading to detailed interactions in acts 2 and 3 that wouldn't be possible at all if you don't save him.

Or stuff like knocking a giant spider into the under dark during a hidden fight in a cave under a blacksmith house, then later on realizing you can use a mushroom guy's "raise a corpse as a minion" power to have a huge undead pet spider for a while in the under dark.

There are entire voice acted scenes that 0.001% of players will see because they managed to meet 8 different sets of increasingly unlikely criteria. I dunno, there's just a depth to the game that made it feel like playing D&D with a skilled dungeon master, and I found it lovely.

I played through it 7 times (neutral playthrough, good guy paladin playthrough, dark urge indulgent, dark urge good guy, dark urge starts bad becomes good, drow minthara romance, succubus bard build who just charms her way into winning) before I eventually managed to get tired of it back in early 2024.

I've recently gotten back into it, planning to play an "evil but hides it and betrays everyone" character this time lol

Obviously it's time to roll for sandwich

It's just referring to the common pattern of history books and information at places like museums erasing gay people by calling them "friends" instead. Including stuff like two men buried together in ways that only married couples would have been in their culture or paintings that show two women very obviously being intimate in some way in a bed being labelled as two "good friends"

I've had two folding phones work for over two years without any delamination or other issues - I only replaced the first one because I dropped it and shattered a corner of the outer screen. Inner screen was in perfect condition still.

I can understand the hesitation but if you can get a good deal on one they're way better now than they were at the beginning.

I sought out Beehaw when joining the fediverse for similar reasons before my egg cracked last November and I realized I'm trans. I used to seek out queer spaces for the express purpose of finding a place that's accepting and friendly in general. Now I do it because I myself am queer lol

I mean. "It's fun and still works for what I use it for" seems like a fine reason to me, just saying.

Not to be overly pedantic but Java != JavaScript

So far I've not had any trouble with them, running bazzite on a GPD Win Mini

It's using tools like Claude or other agentic AI to collaboratively make an app. It's a fun novelty until you realize people paid more than you are doing it without knowing what they're doing and getting away with it.
