I have no idea. I got a few emails from my Internet provider, warning me to stop pirating. I haven’t gotten any such emails since using Proton. I’ve never tried another service.

Torrents, mostly. Torrents and pretending to be from another country/state are the top uses for a VPN. I guess VPNs can also help with “dark web things,” but I don’t know enough about those to offer any advice.

I use Proton VPN (lowest paid tier) to stream German television. Works great for me. I get the occasional stutter, but my Internet isn’t the best. I also get that when viewing local content.

If you ever sweat, like ever, smart watches may not be for you. I’ve had 3, different brands (all Android Wear OS), and my sweat eventually tarnished the charging contacts to the point of no use (even after being cleaned with alcohol and something abrasive) all three times.

So, if you sweat, you’re gonna wanna make sure the charging contacts don’t touch your skin. Ever.

Sorry, you’re too late.

Yes, I get the sound version but it’s more likely for me to just be walking in a dream, fall flat on my face, and wake up. But it’s more jarring than it should be.

Apparently it’s more common in people with sleep paralysis, which I have.

I’m pretty sure OP is saying job hunting has gotten worse because job board websites are throttled.

Not sure if joking, but if you add it to your library before the cutoff date, then it’s yours forever - just like if you bought it.

I’m said the Xbox is not the cheapest, by a huge margin. It is, in fact, the cheapest by a $100 margin, which is not huge.

I installed it onto a 256GB SD card. The Deck has an sd card slot.

Yes, a 256GB+ SD Card. Be sure to enable slow HDD mode in BG3 settings if you’re installing to an SD Card. (It will help loading screen times at the cost of using more RAM.)

I play at 900p60. Turn literally everything to low or off except textures at medium. Enable the AMD upscaling to the highest quality setting (forget what it’s called). Be sure to turn off Antialiasing (don’t really need it at high resolutions) and God rays. Turn off all optional things but those two are the most important. Also, if BG3 is installed to an SD card, then enable slow HDD mode.

It still stutters a little when transitioning to cut scenes, but I believe that exists in all PC versions.

Edit: And I have made it (what I think is) mostly through Act 2. I’ve also hosted an online session with my friend (who also plays on Steam Deck using my settings) and my husband (gaming laptop) with no issues.

Series S is the cheapest way to play the game by an absurd margin? Steam Deck is only about $100 more and it plays the game just fine.

Unknown mobile client. Yeah, I’m pretty mysterious like that.

Well, they did fix some of the glitches! You’ve got a good point.

However, you don’t have to go out of your way for some of the bugs! For instance, psychic being immune to ghost when they are supposed to be weak to it. (There are only two ghost moves so you may not notice this in a playthrough). Also, focus energy reduces your crit ratio instead of raising it.

These are definitely things a regular person could encounter in a playthrough.

The Let’s Go games were fairly faithful? They are very easy though, because you get so much XP and it’s given to all your pokemon. That might be a good place to start, since it kinda holds your hand.

As far as which is the best version, it’s usually the last game from that generation. So: Yellow, Crystal, Emerald, Platinum… After that it doesn’t matter which game you pick.

Keep in mind there is not a huge difference between the “regular” pokemon games (like red and blue) vs the 3rd release (yellow). The story is the same. They add a couple extra scene at the end and an extra legendary. That’s it. For instance, it’s not worth getting platinum if you already have diamond.

I would suggest yellow as a good place to start. Having Pikachu follow you around is cute, and by far the best gimmick added to a third game. Plus Jessie and James from the anime are added in a couple places. It’s also less buggy than red or blue.

Anything DS or older is very easy to emulate on your phone, btw. I can elaborate on that if you wish.
