I found the combat in the first to be more fun (played it three times on all difficulties) but opinions probably differ and they both miss the huuge set pieces from the old games. Still both very good games!

Its not really that physical, haven’t read the article but the way “dimensions” are used is best explained via algebra:

Say you have a formula x=6, you can visualise the value on a number line from 0 to 10, with a little mark at the 6. That’s one dimension, a line.

Bringing the next dimension in you can add a new variable/unknown like y. Given the formula x-y=6, often formatted as y=x-6, you can now visualise the value or the solution with a graph, the number line for x horizontally and y vertically (2D). Now instead of marking a dot on the number line you draw a line through the graph where y=x-6, e.g at coordinates (x=6,y=0).

In a similar way you can add a variable z, which you can draw as a new line perpendicular to the other two, turning the plane into a three dimensional space with 3 number lines, one for each variables.

This is where things get complicated, you add the fourth variable, bringing things into the fourth dimension. As you eluded to, it can sometimes be represented as time, so the contents of the 3D space from before can change with time, a bit harder to imagine but think of the new 4th dimension of time as being a slider like on a video player, dragging it around to “play the video” in the other three dimensions. Instead of the 4th dimension being time though, you can also think of it as another number line added to the graph with the other 3, the problem is that it’s impossible to visualise, we can’t draw a fourth line perpendicular to the other three. So we just say its there and keep solving the algebra as if it was there.

That’s the basics anywho, theres a bunch of material online, both text and videos if you wanna dive further, khan academy being a good place to start, or maybe brilliant.org.

Dan Carlin had an interesting podcast episode of Hardcore History on this/related subject about the history of child rearing and the unfortunate conditions that were super common prior to the modern day which might interest you.

Well, quick buck or not, check their economy before and after and report back to explain what else exactly they could leverage to their advantage

Yeah! Same. Shame it wasn’t just a limited series, not convinced the format’s gonna hold. But Ted Danson is hilarious and the show runners did good with the Good Place, so lets hope for the best!

1. What?
2. Who hurt you?
3. What?

Right, thank you! Yeah mainly needed help on the YT backstory and the chemistry, the premise of the joke I got, I could have been clearer. Anywho, grade A content my dude(ette)!

Could someone explain?

Yeah, frankly I feel the Boys is as gory as I want things to get, my gf closes her eyes throughout about half of each episode as is!

I’m playing through BG3 with a good friend too, we’re actually planning on doing another, wildly different, playthrough when we’re done with this one. We’re playing sorta chaotic/neutral good right now and intend to do an evil campaign next with different characters and classes and possibly even modded.

Now I obviously haven’t tried it yet but the game has so much hidden stuff, branching paths and different-to-play classes I’m fairly confident you can play it at least twice and have an almost entirely new experience!
