People are still on EA Origin? They forced ppl to update ages ago. Surprising they even still had the Origin running.

BG2 came out in 2000. It didn't exactly have a huge sales happening in 2023 either. It was largely considered as a shelved IP. Yet BG3 came out with massive success. My point is that you have no point. DA was (I would say "is" if veilguard wasn't such a horrible piece of shit) a strong IP with or without inquisitions long tail given from past sales alone. No one ever goes and says their best selling product ever is a weak IP. It's completely bollocks that you're framing it as a weakening IP. Clearly BioWare thought it was strong too since they've spent huge amount of budget into veilguard. You're presuming you know more than their huge investment and sales projection team about Inquisition sales.

Besides, how would you even know if Inquisition had a long tail or not? You have no figures, this game was released exclusively on ea platform at first and continued to be for a long time until it was finally released on steam. I know, because I remember begrudgingly buying it on ea origin. Steam's public data in this is hardly a meaningful pie. My 12m Inquisition data on sales was their Sept 2024 release info. Which I assume BioWare released to imply a long tail and and continued popularity to get more sales into veilguard. But let's not assume.

Btw, I didn't say you said it didn't have a lot of sales either.

DA:I sold 12 million copies. That makes it the top selling game Bioware ever had.

I bought both cyberpunk and BG3 in gog instead of steam. I would guess cyberpunk sells more through gog than BG3 would since it's their own platform. Would be interesting if gog stats could be seen as well, but since it's DRM free, tracking stats on some people are outright impossible.

Your source says Trump won the popular vote.

Harris got 74.46m votes and Trump got 76.94m votes in the graph.

And the US Election Atlas claims 77.1m for Trump and 74.7m Harris.

I don't use porkbun so I can't guide you in detail. But look for "glue records". Some will just call this nameservers, ns record, or some other confusing and ambiguous lingo (like GoDaddy....). Glue records are separate from rest of the auth DNS servers. Even though you are essentially doing an A record.

So if you have example.com on porkbun, and auth nameservers for this same domain is going to be elsewhere, you can set glue records. Like..

ns1.example.com ns2.example.com

With specific IPs like 123.123.123.123

This will allow you to essentially do the first step and not end up in a cyclic problem of one requiring the other.

I assume this is what you're referring to as the problem.

This is one of the highest upvoted post in my feed but with 0 comments. Guess everyone just agrees wholeheartedly.

BG3, yes. Massive success.

Veilguard is a massive flop. It sold a lot compared to other games, sure, but based on the amount of money they spent and time in development, that was a shit investment. They were expecting like 10m sales, doing 1.5 instead according to whistleblowers.

But then, where are you gonna plug your Ethernet cable?

If you bought a alien spider router just to use as an WiFi access point, you bought the wrong thing.

I have that and use Ethernet cable.

[–] Grumpy 1 points 1 month ago

I just have cables outside of walls, along the corners. And doors have enough gaps usually at the bottom to let a single Ethernet cable through and still close without any problems. It isn't very noticeable even without drilling.

NA mostly uses ESRB while most of Europe uses PEGI as their rating board. They're different organizations so they can have different criterias for rating as well as different inspectors actually doing the rating.
