Baldur’s Gate 3 first act before my current playthrough is over

I always finish the first act, take a break. Boot it up 6 months later and forget all the controls and start act one again. Rinse and repeat.

I played through Pokemon FireRed not too long ago, and it started as annoying, but I really grew to like the recap "This is what you've missed since you last played!" thing on every login.

There were sometimes 2-3 weeks in between sessions, and normally I'd have to either keep a notebook of where I was at (or going), or just remember, but every single time I hopped on it would give me this friendly little text and screenshots of my recent past and sometimes hint (or straight up tell me) where I'm supposed to be going.

I'm sure it was helpful to little kids in 2004, but to this old dude in 2026, it made me wish long games like Baldur's Gate 3 had that feature.

Was this on an emulator? I've been thinking about getting back into a Pokemon game so very curious about this lol
