Борщ має якусь таємну магію: як не намагайся зварити трошечки, все одно отримаєш цебер.

A stupid idea and a vain hope to increase the replayability of a game by romance with only one character. People are polygamous, and there will soon be a mod for unlimited love. Should I wait for that or try the game? Not all ones will be desirable anyway.

I wonder, is there a video game in the world that can be played without third-party mods? One of the characters has a nasty voice, the camera is uncomfortable, the the character is ugly or dressed in bad taste... There are many variations.

Baldur's Gate 3 is brilliant for its banter. The plot (if there is one) is simple and uncomplicated as a hamburger. But the humour and satire in the little incidental episodes, side quests, and background talks of NPCs is a masterpiece.

Gale in BG3 is a cake. However! Seducing a shy virgin is an interesting and tasty gameplay move, but only if the process doesn't take too long. When the character rejects the first offer, it will arouse interest, but after the second rejection, the desire to continue this line will disappear. Gale's absolute loneliness has a solid basis in the plot, and it has the prospect of being with him forever. A very lifelike game.

I love the turn-based combat in BG3. It's like chess with role-playing. You don't feel like a monkey, mindlessly and quickly pressing buttons. You're a strategist. And you're always relaxed. In the middle of a battle, you can go and make yourself a coffee and think about how to position your heroes and how to choose combat spells. It's a game of the mind, not the fingers.

I've always hated jokes about blondes being stupid, but when the really stupid Shadowheart turns out to be a secret blonde, it's trolling at its 1000th level.

Gale in BSG3 is like a cat in the house: zero usefulness, zero brains, zero plot, but he is so cute that you don't want to let him out of the squad for a second, you buy him toys (armour + weapons) and pet him all the time (talks).

True Bloodthirst (2012) is a surprisingly good movie. Not stupid like 99.9% of vampire-themed flicks, and makes you want to watch it again.

It's interesting. I watched a lot of videos about how bad modern games are and how good ancient ones were, and then I read how many millions of $ and € the scolded games brought in 3–4 years after release, when gamers should have forgotten about them. It seems that I'm not the only one who likes casual gameplay, beautiful pictures, good plots in an open world, and relaxing play. And I'm glad that the devs give me a large choice of such works.
