Well, let's see how avowed fares.

2006, lol.

I feel like whenever I end up upgrading my gpu I'll perhaps also get a new ultrawide, with higher refresh rate and proper hdr, so the bottleneck will still be there. I also somewhat recall that in all the hardware configs I have run over the past 25 years, the gpu was always the bottleneck, barring minor exceptions for specific games. My hardware history is here and in the previous thread, so I could take a look. At some point I intend to play cyberpunk, at least.

Isn't the gpu the bottleneck anyway at 3440x1440?

I don't think it will make much difference but it was cheap enough.

How do you think a permanent white population in South Africa affected it and differentiates it from other sub Saharan African countries?

Avowed forces you to hear politics at about the same rate as both Pillars of Eternity games. Hope that helps.

As far as I know there isn't a retail version of Avowed. So far, anyway. I also want an addition to my physical Obsidian collection, so I have been looking for it. A ver se temos sorte.

He is right that the moderate left has effectively abandoned the working class, but he is wrong that they abandoned it in favor of liberal elites. The moderate left has in fact abandoned the working class, but in favour of moneyed interests, be it multimillionaires, large corporate conglomerates or banking giants. This is true of moderate left parties across all advanced economies. In the US you could rephrase it to say in favor of the lobbying class. Fundamentally, due to Reagan's administration outsized influence in US and world politics, the moderate left got infected by supply side economics from the 90s onward, later known as trickle down economics. Another way of putting it is that the Economy Overton Window moved clearly and definitely to the right. The main consequence of this was depressing lower and middle class wages across the board, in every advanced economy since the 80s. First and foremost, over time this created an undercurrent of resentment, due to a disconnect between expected purchasing power and effective purchasing power among the traditional left-wing base. This decrease in the revenue of the general population, also inevitably led to a decrease in tax revenue, which has had a definite negative effect on all public services, especially healthcare and education. And while this has been terrible enough during left-wing government tenures, right wing governments have been only too happy to make things even worse than left wing governments are making them. Also, given the extended timeline under which this has been happening(30 to 40 years, depending on the country, I'd say), it's beyond the ability of any well meaning government to effectively turn this tide and significantly correct economic outcomes for working class families. This means that we are literally in an era of economic inequality that would make late 1800s robber barons blush at even the thought of it. And the only parties that have been able to effectively profit politically from this state of affairs are far right parties, meaning parties propped up and financed by the same financial interests which are making things worse economically for those who are poorest.

Just for the record Musk is not a particularly successful businessman. He is just, like most multimillionaires, rich enough to be effectively immune to all the stupid crap he has done to his businesses. He is more successful than Trump, but that is such a low bar you'd have to be shorter than the Planck length to limbo under it.

I'm not talking about Americans or even just Americans who voted for Trump, though. It's the same here in Europe. Or say, entirely randomly, in places like South Africa.

What still surprises me is how so many people have an idea of Trump that does not track with reality in any way. Despite what he is being right there in everything he says and does openly and plainly.
