Finished the first act of Baldur's Gate 3. It is quite amazing, though I found out I missed half the magical items.

Free-will is an inconsistent concept. What people think of as "free-will" is really just agency. We have agency. We make choices for our own interests. Making choices is a computation. A computat...

Oh, Prigozhian's plane "just crashed". How convenient. I bet explosives were on board, or else a missile was sent.
