Australian here, we're in the shit. A good chunk of our rural voters support the LNP (who are doing everything they can to copy Trump). Universal healthcare has been slashed down to an inch of its life, and employment prospects are terrible for most everyone under 50.

If you're looking to escape the rise of facism, don't. Come. Here. We're lockstepping with the US and unless our upcoming election goes beautifully, we'll get even worse.

Well, I first played Dragon Age Origins with the framerate fluctuating between 10 and 20 FPS. Wasn't the most fun I've ever had, but ever since 30 - 60 felt like luxury. So yeah, anywhere from 10 to 30 is fine for me, but the more active a game is the closer to 30 minimum with a target of 60

Veilguard was excellent, but it pissed off bigots and now it's outright unsafe to speak positively about it on the other site.

FWIW, Dragon Age got brigaded hard by hard-right anti-woke trolls (and Skillup outright lied in his review, which has been passed around like a bag of chips). It's truthfully excellent, with great storytelling (leaning very hard on horror) and great character writing, with the most fun gameplay of any Dragon Age game.

A word to the wise, as you say you don't normally buy games - do double check whether your Mac is new enough for the game. I don't know exactly how specs work on mac, but I would hazard a guess that anything older than, say, 2019, won't be able to play it.

Ffs, there's no conspiracy here mate, the game is meeting expectations. The problem is there are a lot of trolls trying to tear it down because trans people are in it, not that the writers are calling out bigots.

Star Wars. God help you if you actually like The Acolyte or the sequels, they'll flay you alive while they harass everyone involved in the making of.

Seems they're starting to, given Dragon Age won't be using the EA App
