Cultural Tip
Spanish speakers often add the preposition 'a' before the name of a video game (jugar a). The title itself stays in English, so you don’t translate 'Baldur's Gate 3' into Spanish. 'Ahora mismo' is a colloquial way to stress immediacy; in more formal contexts you might prefer 'en este momento'.
