with the old system it sonetimes happened that a seemingly random companion was selected for important story moments.

but the new system defaulting to the players "main" character is not perfect either obviously.

they changed which character gets priority in dialogue in some patch a while a go.

what normally works is to split your party and park your own character somewhere behind your party.

what is a hero shooter and what makes it overwatch-style?

I'd think tf2 would be one.

nah, one is never to old to learn stuff.

a tough, but hands-on start would be something like https://www.theodinproject.com/

it's a free course for web development and their material is really good, so even if you don't finish it you'll aquire some good fundamentals about programming.

sadly that does not match your language preferences, but a lot of knowledge tends to transfer or helps to understand different approaches.

you could also try a course like Introduction to CS and Programming or other university/college courses. they are meant for people who start without programming experience.

I've got "a full cast production" and Neil is not listed as one of the cast.

i think voice work is done by actors that were part of the amazon series based on the book, i atleast recognize david tennant :D

I am currently listening to Good Omens, Terry Pratchet and Neil Gaiman

Iam sure its great, but i have trouble to actively listen during the evening currently. but that's a me problem.

Reading

Dracula, Bram Stoker not my first time reading it, so glossing over lines isnt a huge problem, but this book is just comfortably creepy.

agpl does not "steal" sales, but i have to give my users the source code under a gpl compatible license, that includes that they redistirbute the code however they see fit.

that scares many people, but i guess they forget that your game is more than code and the license does not cover assets

sure, if the limitting factor in a case like this would be the speed of computation and not slow IO than implementing the computation in another language would be a viable way to increase performance.

And no, I have not tested it because I don't know how I'm actually supposed to do that.

depends on what you backup and how.

if it's just "dumb" files (videos, music pictures etc.), just retrieve them from your backups and check if you can open the files.

complex stuff? probably try to rebuild the complex stuff from a backup and check if it works as expected and is in the state you expect it to be in. how to do that really depends on the complex stuff.

i'd guess for most people it's enough to make sure to backup dumb files and configurations, so they can rebuild their stuff rather than being able to restore a complex system in exactly the same state it was in before bad things happened.

when they released they were real time with pause, like the old baldurs gate games.

they added a turn based mode though, in a later patch.

maybe the pathfinder games by owlcat. the pathfinder rules they use are very very simmiliar to d&d 3.5 so, should feel familiar if you enjoyed neverwinter.

they are not super hardware hungry and run without a problem through proton/wine.

i think it was during Swens acceptance speech at the video game awards where he thanked the amazing people at hasbro/wotc who helped to make bg3 a reality only to say how strange/sad it is that almost no one from the first meetings is still at the company in his next sentence.
