Yeah, all those Americucks who scream that they would LOVE to move to the BASED AND REDPILLED Poland would get a huge reality check with their first paycheck (heh) and 23% VAT prices.
Not to mention the choking on the wonderful coal oven smog every winter.

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

I always buy from them, even with the shipping fee, it's still cheaper than buying locally.
Holy fck that's cheap
Writing speed is 3300 MB/s up to 3500 MB/s, for double the writing speed you can double the price.

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.

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.

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.
