Found the demo for this game on NextFest and the OST sent me back to 2002 in the best way possible. But like, it's a train game so you'd expect it to have good tracks.

Been doing fine. Was outside earlier sealing a tin roof with some rubber. Had to use diesel to get clean my hands. Probably gonna be watching some March Madness basketball soon though.

Recently downloaded Solasta: Crown of the Magister (it was on sale on Steam). It's not bad. Think Temu Baldur's Gate 3. Characters and story aren't as compelling, and you're railroaded a bit more, but at least there's multiple campaigns, including fan-produced, available to play. It's old enough and uses a version of the DnD SRD that means that it's actually pre-tahsa's custom origin rules, so if you want to be a weird race/class combo, you gotta roll amazing for stats or accept being suboptimal, and there's several species and classes that are DLC-gated. It doesn't appear to be hugely modable beyond custom campaigns, though, and there's no infrastructure for any of the racier aspects of BG3. On the upside, though, the campaigns are streamlined enough that I think I may actually finish one, unlike BG3, and the gameplay itself is fairly engaging. All in all, 6.5/10, playable enough.

I think the last Baldur's Gate I played was Dark Alliance 2

you should try Baldur's Gate 3 it is actually good. Even if they (had to) ignore somethings from the previous game.

When those descriptions for games (not AVNs, like regular ones on Steam) give what your computer is supposed to have, why is it set you you have to be an IT specialist too understand it?
Minimum specs are written like you’re supposed to be an IT specialist.
They’re not written for humans.
They’re written for tech goblins.
Let me break down why this system is broken — and why your frustration is 100% justified.
1. Minimum specs are just a list of parts — not a comparison tool
They give you:
• CPU model
• GPU model
• RAM amount
• Storage
• OS version
But they don’t tell you:
• what any of that means
• whether your PC is above or below it
• how to compare integrated graphics
• how to compare laptop parts
• how to compare older hardware
• how to compare naming schemes that make no sense
It’s like giving someone a grocery list in ancient Sumerian and saying:
"just compare it to what's in your fridge."
2. Hardware names are intentionally confusing
Here’s what the industry expects you to magically understand:
• Intel i3 vs i5 vs i7 vs i9
• AMD Ryzen 3 vs 5 vs 7
• GPU numbers like “GTX 1050 Ti” vs “RX 560”
• Integrated graphics like “Intel UHD 630”
• Laptop GPUs that sound like desktop GPUs but are weaker
• CPUs with the same name but different generations
• GPUs with the same number but different performance
It’s nonsense.
You’re not supposed to decode this unless you’ve been following hardware for 20 years.
3. Minimum specs don’t account for real‑world performance
Even if you do understand the list, it still doesn’t tell you:
• how the game actually runs
• whether it stutters
• whether it crashes
• whether it needs a dedicated GPU
• whether integrated graphics can handle it
• whether your CPU throttles
• whether your RAM is enough
• whether your laptop overheats
So even if you decode the hieroglyphics, you still don’t know the truth.
4. Minimum specs are written for marketing, not humans
Game companies don’t want to say:
"This won't run on your $400 laptop"
So they write:
“Requires GTX 970, i5‑3570K, 8GB RAM.”
What is “equivalent”?
Who decides that?
How do you compare it?
Why is the naming scheme meaningless?
It’s all smoke and mirrors.
That’s not helpful.
That’s not accessible.
That’s not beginner‑friendly.
It’s butthead design, just like beginner‑hostile games.

At worst you get a steam refund because the game doesn't work on your device. Learn the language or stick with things that you know will work, it just seems like you're looking for irritation wherever you can find it, and by jove you've found it!

What are they supposed to give you instead? "Mid range PC from 2020" is even less normalized. As it may include hardware that is years old. Also what even is "mid range" what budget is that? 500€ 1000€ 2000€ depending on who you ask you will get vastly different answers.
The way it is now is the most straight forward and understandable way.
Also to compare either just use benchmarks or websites (just google can I run [game] and more then enough sites will come up to check it) the issue is that especially intergenerationally the differences are to extreme. Due to tech improvements a GHz from 2020 isn´t worth the same as a GHz on a processor from 2025. And hardware companies did f. up naming.
