Baldur’s Gate 2 Shadows of Amn. I’ve been agonising about there being so many interesting companions and only five slots.

I suspect that’ll be my answer for many months to come.

Some of the star puzzles are absolutely devious.

I would agree if not for the flagrant grammatical error. That is a huge turnoff.

There is a paper titled “What Every Computer Scientist Should Know About Floating-Point Arithmetic” by David Goldberg. It’s a bit theoretical, but IMO it’s a must-read for any programmer doing more than the occasional floating point calculation. It goes beyond just limited precision and rounding errors.

Randall Munroe. You may know him from such gems as xkcd 3472 and 6548.

Ah Lemmy, downvoting an honest question. Daddy Reddit would be proud.

Upvoted to offset the stupidity.

I finished the Siege of Dragonspear and even Black Pits expansions of Baldur’s Gate 1, and have now started Baldur’s Gate 2 Shadows of Amn.

I’m not far in yet (chapter two) but already get the feeling this is much deeper and has many more options than the first game - which was already quite good. I think I’m going to like this one.

It’s also a very good introduction to programming, and just a good read. Probably the best book about programming I’ve ever read.
