Still on Baldurs Gate 3, but this is my second run and the first time as Durge. Made some different choices, recruited different companions, and it’s crazy how different it feels.
I thought I was going to be satisfied with two playthroughs but I’m already planning my third
I’m still on Baldurs Gate 3 and loving it
Saaaame BG3 what a game! I’m in act 2, this is my first run but so far I’m still planning on running again. There’s just too much and I can’t do it all in one go.
If you were OOTL and confused af, here is a paragraph that makes it easier to understand:
The consequences of the full permanent injunction would stretch far beyond Epic’s own store and its game Fortnite. They would force Google to effectively open up its app store to competition for three whole years. Google would have to distribute other rival app stores within the Google Play store, too, give rivals access to the full catalog of Google Play apps, and it would be banned from a variety of anticompetitive practices including a requirement that apps use Google Play Billing. You can read a summary of the details here.
It’s not about making something eternal, it’s about letting the public be able to maintain it once the company ceases
In other words don’t trash, donate
Whaaaaa? Shame on them especially since they had events going. Would have been easier to just not have any events if you were going to cancel in like ten days

“on ice” sounds like a show you could buy tickets to
I know OP has a point that they weren’t asking your opinion on games, but I really like your stance of demanding performance from the game devs especially on older hardware. There is a culture of "must have newest hardware to run everything maxed " that’s just dumb consumerism.
When I play it’s usually solo games, and I never had an issue with 20fps+ . If performance drops below that, I’m visually ok with 16fps, but usually at that range my system is struggling with game mechanics and that’s the deal breaker for me
Well it’s listing only one game per year and BG seems to be the winner for 2023.
I didn’t know BAFTA awarded videogames too. TIL
Ohhh didn’t know about libredirect
Never welcome news to hear studios closing down :(
They do say straight away that the concept and design departments are getting slashed, now with very few human artists, all who are forced to use AI in their workflow.
The same is happening in VFX and film to some extent, though I know that from personal acquaintances and not the article.
That’s it. The rest is conflated as you say. It is a very loooong article so I didn’t finish it. Perhaps I missed the real horrors at the end of it.
They might go up but I’d be surprised it will rival Skyrim. I’m a Skyrim fan, yet I’m not enticed to play Starfield for reasons beyond me. It feels like it’s lacking something and I can’t put my finger on it. I don’t believe mods would make much of a difference, but who knows, maybe I’m wrong.
I modded Skyrim (and Oblivion) because the vanilla game was exciting already, in spite of its flaws. I couldn’t be bothered otherwise.
I knew the onion is old, but didn’t imagine they would keep a website with old articles still up!
I was laughing at the onion article and stopped- was that really published in 1998 ?!?!? Or is the date also a joke?
Maybe I misunderstood something in your explanation. But afaik, jobs in the videogame industry are very much like freelance jobs and the position you have today is going to be very different from whatever you will be doing in 2 years or whatever. Heck, you are lucky if your contract lasts more than six months. Same for VFX jobs.
I’ve… Never heard of this game before, I must try
