Not that old yet, and I prefer to find out about these things from people at sites like this. That way I know I'm getting the information from people who actually know about these things.

You forget that I do not play online multi-player games and so it is a blind spot for me. What I know, such as it is, is second-hand information. The games I play are all offline games.

Now, this game does not use a single server, right? If so can game progress be backed up in case something goes wrong?

How well does this game actually work, and did they ever get Fallout 76 working properly?

Is there a general on/off switch for this sort of thing or only if a specific game allows that? It's been a while since I had the Steam app installed, and when I do it will be for Linux.

Is it possible any longer to NOT have updates from Steam? can you switch them off?

I finally had time to look into it and the answer seems to be yes and no about the online part. It has a multiplayer option so yes it is in that case online- but there is no huge world stored in a massive server somewhere out there. There is a sort of "host" computer where the user can invite...

Okay, then, how much on the server side and how much on the player's side? I'm assuming "Baldur's Gate 3" is an online game and therefore there is a server part.

Well, if you can give a list of all three that would be interesting, especially if you can add dates of release.

Any idea how much memory they take? I know there is a server side and a player's side to these things, so there'd be two numbers?

Because it can be applied to this game or any other. Games like "Baldur's Gate 3" were literally unheard of in my day. Not just the graphics and sound, but the SHEER SCOPE of such a project. That sort of thing was for movies like "Tron." Huge projects can go wrong in so many ways, then it can...

Thing is, when I say "too big to succeed" I mean it literally. Okay, you want to program a game retro-style, say like an early 1990s DOS game- "Foxtail" and "Beyond the Edge of Owlsgard" are examples. You could quite literally do this alone with an engine like AGS 2.3.1, and sell it on Steam or...

I'm never going to buy this game, but the technical aspects interest me. "Fallout 76" was similar. Remember, I was around when "Pong" hit the arcades. Some of these projects make me wonder how big a project can get before it becomes too big to succeed. Literally too big to succeed.

How much more complex and how much bigger is this game than the previous two?

How far behind can pedophilia be, especially since it's starting to be normalized now? Look, make a list- on one side, every single argument you can imagine FOR normalizing pedophilia, then on the other every argument AGAINST, and... Hey, wait a minute. Doesn't it look...familiar? That's...

I miss "Wizardry." Even if you are right, it is still pretty messed up.

Doesn't "Baldur's Gate 3" involve shall we say intimate relations with a bear which is actually a female druid which- in human form- is not a scantily-clad busty forest druid like Frank Frazetta might draw but a small girl? And that she is a few thousand years old to make it "legit?" And you...
