Well, did you expect them to hand NVMEs out in fucking cereal or something? SATA SSDs are even cheaper and will work just as well for games. MX500 is 105 Euros in France.

Imagine thinking that Eastern European shitholes have better electronic prices than France or Germany, lmao. Dude's living in a different dimension or something.
A lot of the "uggghhhh the west has fallen" posters fetishize eastern Europe, without having any clue about our realities.
Aren't your wages going up though? And economies growing?

Edit: I know Bulgaria is the best country for doing business with the lowest taxes
For Bulgaria, wages more or less doubled since the financial crisis in 2008. However, inflation also was a bitch.
As for the doing business part.... Taxes are low, but securities are also low. You can build your business here if you want, just no promises that it won't be set on fire by local competitors.

105 euros is a hard day work on the fields to draw a comparison.
5 Hours in the tertiary working for a boss yelling at you.

Seems perfect for online businesses though

And it probably still is due to NVIDIA Jewry.

Thanks, dude, I know you just wanted to post a list of your favorite fantasy novels, but I was talking about cRPGs because this is the cRPG section.
This is the Baldur's Gate 3 thread, where we strive to our utmost to ensure that discussion remains on the topics of classic Dungeons & Dragons and fantasy literature +M

A few notable CRPGs where the player-character is not the "chosen one":
  • Rogue (1980)
  • Wizardry (1981)
  • The Bard's Tale (1985)
  • Dungeon Master (1987) & Chaos Strikes Back (1989)
  • Pool of Radiance (1988) and the rest of the Gold Box games
  • Eye of the Beholder (1991)
  • Ultima Underworld: The Stygian Abyss (1992)
  • The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall (1996)
  • Fallout (1997)
  • Arcanum (2001)
  • The Temple of Elemental Evil (2003)
  • The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (2006) is worth mentioning as a game where there is a "chosen one" but he is an NPC
  • Legend of Grimrock (2012) & Legend of Grimrock II (2014)
  • Age of Decadence (2015)
  • Salt & Sanctuary (2016)
  • Wasteland 3 (2020)
Many more could be mentioned.
Storms of Zehir is an excellent choice. It has a fine merchant simulator in game through which you can get filthy rich!

That's my line goy! There's nothing antisemitic about becoming a rich merchant adventurer.

Up to 6.600 MB/s writing speed.
Is this really that important? My logic is that any kind of SSD is better than HDD, but a few seconds of difference in loading won't really matter for most people.
Its important for VM, probably for emulation. Not for download, internet speed is almost always lower than write speed. And games don't write much at all.

I'm lazy and don't want to learn the new spelling of Kiev.

The new spelling of Turkey looks even worse
Forgive me, komshu, but for me you will always be Anatolia.
Jesus, is everyone from the Balkans here, who isn't from Poland :lol:
Poland and Balkans, are some of the very few places left in Europe, where you can still post on Codex without risking getting arrested for accidentally comitting a hate crime, by brofisting a comment of someone who used a racial slur. If I was in Belgium, France, UK or other shit like that, I would straight up be afraid of posting here. You never know when the government will decide that you're akshually a part of racist white supremacist terrorist group for not liking drag queen Jamal in your medieval fantasy game.

At some point somebody drooped there theories about Dark Urge as Bhaalspawn and three antagonists as Dead Three clerics. First thing we can drop in to bin, Dark Urge just stood in Orin circle. Second sounds reasonable - Orin as Bhaal follower, Kethric as Mrykul guy and Garosh as proud Bane k-poper. I wonder if Absolute is something like amalgamate of wakened gods (as a girl, apparently) and Ilithids just wanted to stop this new power. Then, Giths probably wanted took Mind Flyers technology for themselves (and their retarded Queen), but they failed and that's why we cannot have nice things.

Person who animated this never touched a woman.

More like slavs are the last people on the planet who predominantly play on PC, and not phone or console.

Clearly black.

Hilarious how the whole cuck squad show up the moment you remember that all the metropole of faerun being the racial equivalent of modern san fransisco is a recent stupid retcon that made no sense in the setting whatsoever, and this how you got golarion.
