> If innovation stagnated 20 years ago we wouldn’t have Baldurs Gate 3 I'm not sure, is this supposed to be irony?

  Parent is arguing technology hasn't added enjoyment to life. Have you played Baldur's Gate 3? I did and I enjoyed it.

    But is BG3 MORE enjoyable than anything that's come before? I would say I got just as much enjoyment from Mass Effect 20 years ago. Like is entertainment THAT much better now? Is better entertainment really the bar we want to use for measuring tech advancement?

Can't comment on Mass Effect, but I find BG3 is definitely more enjoyable than DOS2 or PWotR. > Is better entertainment really the bar we want to use for measuring tech advancement? There is definitely room for improvement there. I am having existential crises every time I wait for the next game I would enjoy to come out. The best time of my life was during the recent Mecha Break open beta, but now they closed it and I basically have nothing to do that I would really enjoy.

    I'm not saying that there won't be small new additions to life that are fun, like better cameras (for me). But I think that you'd probably find something else equally enjoyable, like another new game that just isn't as advanced, and your life would not be significantly worse – in general, except for fringe cases. And on average, life isn't made better specifically because of technological improvement.
