I don’t self-host my music streaming currently (lack of funds) but I’m planning to in the future. I live in a large city and borrow CDs from the library to rip at home. This might not work for more obscure stuff or if you don’t have a good library in your area, but this way I don’t need to make more space for CDs and I support the library doing it. If I want to support artists, I get merch and/or go to concerts.

Probably the Nautiloid then (the area you wake up in that’s all… Bombed and has those pods).

(Ignore the rest of my comment if you have no interest at all in the game anymore, but read on if you want to give it another chance)

BG3 has a lot of content and story, but if you’ve never played a CRPG (like D&D but digital), it’s a bit difficult to get into. If you ever consider revisiting the game, there’s no shame in picking the easiest setting and/or looking up build guides online to make the combat easier (and save scum).

There’s a lot of very well written story and characters in the game and it’s one of those games where your choices actually matter. You can also take your sweet time with almost everything that’s happening in the game if you feel overwhelmed (something that new players aren’t really told).

Signed, someone who thought this type of game wasn’t her jam at all and is now 140h deep into her first playthrough ❤️

I’m pretty sure they don’t mean “give up on time zones” but “express your timezone in UTC”. For example, central Europe is UTC+1. Makes almost no difference in everyday life, only when you tell someone in another zone your time. The idea is to have one common reference point and do the calculation immediately when someone gives you their UTC zone. For example, if you use pacific time and tell me that, it means nothing to me, but if you say “UTC-8” I know exactly what time it is for you.
