Have you played it already?

I was doing some research, and the two points that interest me are that it can be played solo and there is an easy mode.

No, I haven't but I have heard it's very good.

Actually, I was playing Bomb Sweeper for NES which is a nice logical puzzle game.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

It's not that difficult but you do have to get used to the battle system. That just means reloading when you lose a battle.

I wouldn't recommend reloading for bad dice rolls or bad dialogue too much because it kind of takes away the point of playing the game.

I tried to go in fresh with no reloading at all until I realised how stupid of an idea that is


Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

Impersonation is treason.

Has anyone tried Diablo 4? How is it in comparison to Baldur's Gate 3?

I forgot how much fun it is to play pirate in No Man's Sky. You can get all the upgrades you need for your freighter slowly by other means, but attacking other freighters is by far the most efficient and fun way to do it... though you have to accept that your reputation with whatever race you're attacking will go through the floor. You can just casually fly up to the cargo pods of a freighter and inspect their contents and if you like what you see, start attacking, which starts a full freighter battle where you can try and loot as many pods as you can, and destroy the freighter's defences, and ultimately the freighter itself (which is very satisfying Wink). Rinse and repeat a hundred times to fully upgrade your freighter (versus thousands of times probably if all you're doing is looting derelict and crashed freighters... fun activities in their own right as well, but nowhere near as good rewards).

I did the pirate dreadnought freighter battle the other day as well for the first time and that was also a lot of fun... basically a more involved version of normal freighter battles; you have to protect a civilian freighter that's being attacked by it, so you have to take out the guns attacking that, take out the engines so it can't warp away, and by flying through those Star Wars esque trenches, take out its shield generators, fuel rods, and defence turrets.

Watching some playthroughs to get past the point in Trine where I was stuck.

i did on strength of internet recommendation and having something to play while waiting for mirage and cities skyline 2, never having played diablo 1-3.   i though it was just nicer cut scenes and actually 3D rendering trying to disguise that is effectively a 1980s scrolling map arcade game.

got too bored to go beyond level 50 with necromancer, ended up swapping consoles to play Zelda.
