If there was anything that depressed him more than his own cynicism, it was that quite often it still wasn't as cynical as real life.

Has anyone played Baldur's Gate 3?

I loved Baldur's Gate 1, didn't really like Baldur's Gate 2, but I'm really curious about Baldur's Gate 3, which just came out this year.

I just spent an hour working through a sudoku puzzle on sudoku.com. It was their "evil" level. I'm not sure why they call it that. It just took a while. I did have to resort to guessing a few times, so I suppose that makes it evil. :scratch:
