Yeah I'm about to give up with these games as well and just not play them, I just finished a clean Windows install again and it still didn't work, I feel like I'm going insane here haha

Definitely something wrong with my OS and I'm currently making yet another clean install, because the weird thing is that I've played all these games before (except BG3) on the same laptop, I was just replaying them for fun.

I just wanted to see if there was someone else with the same issues or something similar.

Specs are fine

AMD Ryzen 7 5800H, RTX 3050Ti, and 32GB RAM, it's a Legion 5 (2021)

All games mentioned run 100fps+ on High and I was watching the graphs, temperatures of 60-80C on the CPU and 50-75C on the GPU so those were fine (at least for a laptop)

What you're saying makes a lot of sense, but, the weird thing is that, except for Baldur's Gate 3, I already played all these games in my laptop before. I was just replaying them for fun, I just didn't know if somebody else had the same issues.

I think I'll just make another clean install and see what happens, this situation has me so confused tbh haha

I use Internet Download Manager and it has worked like a charm for me. It's paid, but you can find the pirated version easily!

I tried JDownloader but it didn't work for me, I'm kind of dumb though so it might have been my fault that it didn't work in my browser/computer.

Edit: wanted to add that for torrents I've been using Qbittorrent, imo it's the best

That may be true, but I think he might have a case...

The lawsuit said that Ackerman sent a pre-publication copy of the book to the Tetris Company earlier that year. He said the company refused to license its intellectual property for projects related to his book, dissuading producers who were interested in adapting it, and sent him a "strongly worded cease and desist letter."

So he made the book, presented it to Tetris, they rejected the idea, threatened him to sue if he did his own thing, rejected other producers, then I guess partnered with Apple and made it as if it was their idea.

Are there fictional elements or speculations in Ackerman's book that were translated to the Apple movie?

I think so, I think it's more a thematic kind of thing, not the history per se. But I haven't watched the movie or read the book, so this is just my point if view from what the article says.

No idea if it works like that or if he would have a case as I'm not a lawyer, or writer, or producer, so take what I said with a pinch of salt.

You lose it and never hear from it again. Happened to me, had to open another account in another instance because of that, it's a shame but I guess that's the risk until we get something that is some kind of Backup->Restore->Move account or something.

This reminds me of when I got a new PC when I was younger and I was shocked... "WHAT?! THEY COME WITH 128MB RAM NOW??!!!??! AND THEY HAVE A DVD TRAY?!!? No more floppy disks!!!!"

Fuck, those were nice times (except for dial-up internet).

My mother is like this as well, when I was little she used to only say "come here!", and if I wasn't showing up right next to her she wouldn't say what she wanted to say, she would just stay silent. Sometimes it was only to let me know it was someone's birthday.

She even says it unconsciously now. She lives in Venezuela, I live in Brazil now, and during calls she still says "come here" and every time I tell her "Now how am I gonna go there right now? Are you paying for the plane tickets?"

It's not just you, you're not mental, it's fucking frustrating and at some point in my life I just decided not to react to her "come here" and keep quiet until she tells me what she wants, otherwise I'm not interested.

puts on tinfoil hat

You know how women (and some doctors) had problems in the US because the states were getting information on whether they had, were thinking of having, or were having conversations about having an abortion?

You know how there was a possibility (or maybe that really happened, I don't remember) that the state governments could be aquiring information from women's period tracking apps and acquiring their behavioral patterns to find out if they were planning on having an abortion?

Well, I'm not a woman, but I am disabled. After I got fired from my job because I couldn't perform anymore thanks to my disability, (there was no discrimination, I literally could not do my job because of my disability) I applied for disability payment.

I was rejected.

After that, I tried to look for other jobs, but for some strange reason, I couldn't find a job ANYWHERE in the US. They never called back after telling me they would do a background check on me. I applied for about 70+ companies, I got background checks on 20+.

That didn't happen before I applied for the disability payments, and as an immigrant that was below the poverty line I wasn't someone that could put up a fight... Against whom? The companies? The government? I didn't even know if the fact that I applied for the disability payments was the problem.

At the end, I was able to find a job in a call center working from home. But it took me 8 months for that.

It's a double edged sword, youcan make better products and a better experience for some things, but some people/companies think of other people, especially minorities, disabled, and probably women, as liabilities, and they don't really want that.

This is why I rather have privacy, the ads are just annoying asf, but the things I said are just 2 examples of why privacy is important.

Hopefully I make sense, and sorry for any grammatical mistakes, English is not my first language.
