There are still people so powerful they manage to use Windows XP in this day and age. My intuition says most people will be able to use Windows 10 for at least one more decade with minimal issues, after that it will gradually become trickier, but it will still be usable even in 20-30 years with advanced hacks if humanity doesn't go extinct by then.

Oh man I love how much I have to manage my inventory in this game.

I'm currently playing Skyrim and I kinda dislike fast travel after Morrowind. It felt more interesting to figure out the best way to quickly travel from point A to point B because that involved mark/recall, mage guild teleports, propylons, silt striders, boats, etc. It was interesting logistics mini puzzle, and some of it you had to plan before traveling somewhere, (like the best place to cast "mark" spell). I guess inventory management can be like that too, it can come in different forms like having to play tetris with inventory slots in systems like Diablo, or balancing carry burden between companions in your party in games like Skyrim, or deciding between extended herbalism bags vs smaller general purpose bags in games like World of Warcraft.

Sure, I sometimes prefer simpler systems too. It depends on what I want to play currently. I'm more trying to say we need all kinds of games. Imo, complexity and flexibility of all those systems, like character stats, perks, inventory, etc - is what makes "RPG" an "RPG". If you take a bit of it away it becomes an "ARPG" like "soulslikes" and other similar games. If you take even more of it away you get "slasher", "3d platformer", etc. I'm a big fan of ARPG and 3d platformers like Spyro or Soul Reaver, but it's totally different kind of games.

Interface looks very similar to SkyUI 🧐

Those features though, I hope other RPGs consider them carefully:

  • You can send items from inventory to your home base with a single click
  • Consumables don't weight anything so you can carry infinite potions

This is just way too casual/reductionist imo. At least make some mechanic that justifies sending items. Like an item teleportation spell or something. Imo it's okay if some RPGs will be as convenient as this, but asking for every RPG to be like this is just too much.

On my bed with a laptop. Macbook Air makes it so comfy, I feel like this is its main feature.

Hmm, you're right! I definitely remember this picture posted somewhere maybe like 3-4 days ago?

I personally never hated it, I just prefer Steam, because it has stuff like dedicated game workshop, forums, screenshots, achievements, cards, etc. Even when I got something for free in Epic Games Store I would later proceed to buy it in Steam and play there to have all those features.

Sorry, I don't have one I can share.

You can use mobile internet or wifi in McDonald's then. I'm personally using VPN mainly to protect myself from my ISP and local MITM.

PS: try to register an account without VPN, then log in, then turn on VPN and see how it goes.

I'm using Proton VPN all the time with Reddit, servers from all over the world: Europe, Asia, Africa. I have 365 day streak achievement on day 320 today, so at least those past 320 days I've been using Reddit with Proton VPN every day (I also have killswitch permanently enabled). Also used two other lesser known providers years ago with no issues. Keep in mind though, I'm only ever using paid servers. Wouldn't surprise me if those few free ones are banned everywhere. It takes one user to misbehave from IP to get that IP banned.

I've been using Reddit with VPN for years. Not sure about registering, but using existing accounts with VPN works just fine. lemmy.world allows to register but doesn't allow to post with VPNs, this is also one of big reasons I don't use that instance.

You will need a bit of patience with this one 😇

I personally find this addon quite innovative. To me it looks like a 2d drawing toolset inside of 3d program that is more powerful and has unique 2d drawing features absent in actual state-of-art 2d drawing programs like CSP and Krita!
