The linked article was certainly interesting/alarming, but the original article that seems to have prompted it was a bit questionable to me. Seemed to be a contrived argument from someone knowledgeable to know what all the options meant, complaining that someone who didn’t would get confused - yet in reality, that “normal” user isn’t going to go looking in the extended menu, they would just click the icon, or press the physical button on the laptop.
This doesn’t feel like an answer to the question. Sounds like you’re saying that Android and iOS are both now similar, not that one has been victorious over the other.
Yeah, it is a whole lot more gay but even that is not out of the ordinary for CRPGs at this point and had been pushed by companies like Larian, Obsidian, and Owlcat. Hell, the Mass Effects and Dragon Ages deserve a LOT of props for how horny and gay they were and normalizing the idea of picking the right dialogue options for a sexy card cutscene (also see CD Projekt Red).
Haven’t played BG3 yet, but I’m interested to read this because I’ve noticed a lot of discussion seems to be about romancing characters, and I don’t remember that being a prominent feature in the first two. That said, I was a kid, so maybe that just went over my head at the time. Or is that something that Larian brought in from their other games?
Finally I had to choose an app, as there is no official one. Now I’m in Mlem, but I don’t know if it’s better or worse than the others.
I’m just here from Reddit after the Boost app finally stopped working. So now I’m running “Boost for Lemmy”, would definitely recommend it. It was one of the best 3rd party Reddit clients.
Any recommended reading for pass keys to get me up to speed? I use Bitwarden and have been happy enough with just passwords via that for a long time now. Only time I’ve seen pass keys mentioned really was Google trying to push it on me but I don’t use their password manager.
Alternatively, shout out to Boost for Lemmy - from the creator of one of the best Reddit 3rd party clients (RIP Boost for Reddit).
