Baldur's Gate - still living in Act 1

I just had such bad luck repeatedly on a very long encounter I thought it might be scripted to fail. Nope, just terrible, terrible luck. I am at least just barely past where I was before I restarted.

( Very vague act one companion spoilers )

Also, the studio put out some stats on how the game is doing. "During the launch weekend, you played a combined 1225 years of Baldur’s Gate 3". Also, players spent a total of 88 years in character creation. More stats here

* I've seen some GO metas drift past my dashboard and I kind of want to ramble about what these posts don't understand, especially about what the second coming means, but also I just don't want to wade in. I once read a book and then many years later other people had read the book and then there was a fandom and... the fandom has always baffled me at best. And I avoid Pratchett fandom so much I sometimes act like I haven't read the Discworld books. I have had very weird experiences with what Pratchett fandom has become.

* Looks like we are getting 100-110 degree weather, but it should drop to 70s overnight and there is a big difference between that and not that.

* The fucking self-check out machine at the grocery story accused me of stealing food. Guess I'll make people check me out from now on. If I was going to steal from the grocery store I wouldn't do it by pocketing items during check out.

* Still in Baldur's Gate 3 act 1. This is where I live now.
