Ad 1) this voting system is fixed to keep the two entrenched parties in power. It is tailor-made to funnel power to the two behemoths so that they can amass power to a degree where other players overtaking them is... unlikely under regular circumstances. But apart from that, addressing the issue of the voting system and it being fixed are two different things, and just like one would not do car maintenance while the car is speeding along a highway, restructuring the voting process is not something that will feasibly be done two weeks before election day when certain states are already in the middle of voting.

Well, they read it in a forum where anybody can write anything, so it must be true. They are truly the best at fair and balanced ripoartign.

What's your plan for getting a functional better system ready within two weeks? Because if you have an actually feasible suggestion, I nominate you for president.

Sure, you go and "curate" and put only half of the donation in the exhibition area and it's "fine" but when my zoo gets a panda on loan and I decide to do the same, everybody's all mad all of a sudden.

That's not how you go about that. You stack the supreme court with your toadies and have them invent absolute criminal immunity for your crimes these days.

but arent most RPG builds that way? You have to complete them for them to be really effective?
That's exactly the crux of the matter: I want a game where you grow more efficient. Start out doing the gameplay loop that I like, but badly, slowly and then get better at that gameplay loop.
This change made my favourite gameplay loop no longer viable at all at lower levels. You don't start out a bad sneaker and then become a good sneaker, they completely removed the ability to effectively solve areas with sneaking altogether at the start.
I wanted to improve my viable but still flawed hacking skills, not play a different game altogether until stealth-hacking suddenly becomes available mid-game.

Seems a bit far-fetched.
I mean Palpatine is a well-respected politician. Their kind wouldn't lie. He has said himself that his side are the good guys, what more proof do you want?

Eh, just throw them over your shoulder and you're good to go.
I got the game soon after launch and started a sneaky hacker. Didn't get very far before shelving the game until it was in a better place in terms of polish. Then I recently decided to give the game another chance and pick up where I left with the sneaky hacking. The character seems no longer viable now since my previous approach seems to be limited to however long it takes for the inevitable and unstoppable tracing to finish. Then the game gently pushes my nose into combat and rubs my face in the fact that I have not specced for that. Is there any way left to level my sneaky hacker through sneaky hacking? Because I did like that playstyle and I don't see myself leveling a fighter. If I wanted to play a shooter, I certainly wouldn't do that in Cyberpunk 2077.
No matter which Top sorting method I select in my profile, the result will always be all of my my all-time top posts instead of a selection based on the selected time frame from the drop down menu. All Top (x) selections seem to only show the uncurtailed Top All Time results while sorting by Old, New or Controversial seems to work as intended. I am browsing the default lemmy website interface from a Firefox web browser.
That's like Theseus bringing in his ship for maintenance and when he returns to get it, the ship mechanic saying "so I have good news and bad news..."..
Say what you will about the pacing and stuff, but this show FINALLY gave me a complete force muggle who had no mystical legendary bloodline of famous force space wizards behind her, no cloned mega-space-emperor midichlorian legacy shenanigans that made her the super-special chosen one and she STILL got to use the force through sheer grit and training and determination! Sabine Wren is what the broom kid could have been. No, you don't have to be the spawn of the force-elite with a meticulous pedigree and breeding to get all forcey, you can do it all on your own! Go get that coffee mug, you can do it!
Seems like it should and the result should be one. Does mathematics agree with me on that?
I just played a session and noticed that saving didn't work properly anymore - I would enter a save name and hit save, but afterwards, the save would not appear in the list. When I tried to reload the last appearing save in the list, the game told me it detected save corruption and could not load it. After the initial wailing and gnashing of teeth, I noticed that the last save in the list, the corrupted one was right after some milestone. I reloaded the last working save, played up to the part where that corrupted save would have been and noticed that it was right after some cutscene where the game would have been autosaving WHILE I initiated the quicksave. It seems that you can royally screw yourself if you cause overlapping save procedures, so for the foreseeable future, I will make sure that the only one initiating saves is me, no more autosaves here. tl;dr: If you save while an autosave is being made, your save will risk being corrupted. Generally don't overlap saves in progress.
While there is no at-will cantrip that directly heals, the unlockable illithid power[ Transfuse Health](https://baldursgate3.wiki.fextralife.com/Transfuse+Health) lets one heal another character at the cost of half one's current hp. Now you'll be thinking, "that's not infinite", and you'd be mostly right - except warlocks can create 7 temp hp at will with the eldritch invocation [Fiendish Vigor](https://baldursgate3.wiki.fextralife.com/Fiendish+Vigor). The neat thing about transfuse health is that it does not transfer the healing character's hp to the healed one - no, it subtracts the amount of half the character's current hp and then heals the other character for that, BUT, it starts subtracting from temporary hp! This means that as long as you have 15 hp and 7 points of fiendish vigourous temp hp up, the seven hp that make up half your current actual hp will be subtracted from your temp hp and not touch your real hp, leaving you with 15 perfectly fine and untouched hp. Reapply fiendish vigour and repeat as often as necessary. It may not be the fastest way of healing, but it is repeatable ad infinitum on other group members and only leaves the healer at 15 hp + 7 temp hp.
When will the patches be stable enough that one would -with a reasonable degree of certainty- no longer expect save corruption anymore in the process? Because I will not, can not, do the first couple hours yet again at this point. I may roll another character when things have settled down and any further twiddling will be mostly cosmetic, but right now, no. BG3 is on hold for me now.
