  • I have lived in Germany for 7 years. I hold a STEM master‘s degree and was working an industry job that paid market rate salaries. With 50k€ in savings I was still denied mortgages because 50k was just barely covering the additional purchase costs (such as realtor and notary fees).

    For a modest condo with a small garden in a small-ish city in central Germany I would’ve had to work and pay the mortgage until I retired, because the average house was 600k EUR. And most of the properties sold at that price still needed significant renovations.

    If that is not f^cking crazy, then I don’t know what is.



  • I had some nagging feelings about Starfield from the start and I hoped they would go away. Many of the overhyped features lost their shine quite quickly.

    I did give it a real chance and have about 60 hours logged. In the end what killed it for me is how small it feels. It’s just a bunch of levels connected by fast traveling, lots of locations are copy and pasted, the „capital of the universe“ has like 20 buildings and feels dead, etc

    I have 300+ hours in Skyrim, and I am more likely to return to Skyrim than to Starfield.

    Also, dragon shouts in space? Ridiculous.

    Regarding BG3: I’m enjoying it. It’s a bit steep for someone who didn’t have much exposure to the D&D universe and D&D overall, but I already see the depth and the replay value. It’s a great game.
