Celan

I made it to act three in BG3. My drow ended up only half as menacing since she got one of her red eyes replaced. Now she's practically cuddly. She decked Gale out like Father Christmas, with the garland I took off a murderous druid. I think he looks rather handsome in that get up. She's romancing Astarion, though, because they share in lack of morals.

While you guys are praising some Japanese monster movie*, I'm here for Bollywood's Top Gun. Can't wait for the mid-movie dancing musical. *Just kidding, I will see it when I have time.

What a snoozer. As usual, games I don't give a shit about.

Fuck Bethesda and their bloatware, never installing this shit again.

Yawn

This is fair but I think Starfield is uniquely awful even by Bethesda standards. But enough of that dead horse.

Not necessarily, I just haven’t had the character who can appreciate him. But I also am a sucker for sexy elves and manpain hence chasing Astarion and maybe Halsin for now.

How can two syllables be so smug. To be clear, I still hate turn based combat.

I mean, looking at the Steam stats currently, it's #53 on the "currently most played" list. BG3 is #4 and CP2077 (which many players including myself play on GOG and not Steam) is #23. I can thank Starfield for encouraging me to give BG3 another try. I don't love turn based combat still but the story makes up for it.

I mean, technically I'm in that 12 million, and I sure ain't playing that game ever again.

I wouldn't be mad if they depict the NCR won the Mojave and then declined because of overreach. But here I go again, thinking they might have good writing. Damn it all!

That's a really good trailer. I'm... nope. Not going to do it. Not going to believe this could be good.

The metro? You could tell it had been in development, just not quite there.

Cyberpunk 2.1 sounds pretty cool. https://www.cyberpunk.net/en/news/49594/redstreams-summary-and-recap?utm_source=newsletter_en&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=u21-announcement - gangoons can initate car chases later if you shanked them - working metro - invite LI to apartments - newly opened highway - improvement to final boss fight (spoilers at the link if you haven't finished the main game)

Hold up, hold up. The mastermind of Unity Engine's "we're going to scan all your machines and make developers pay per download" was John Riccitello?! That's the asshole who told EA investors that you could charge gamers $5 for an ammo magazine and they would just pay it to keep the game going. It's a good thing he's been forced to "retire" because this guy shouldn't be anywhere near a gaming company ever again. Or any company that has customers. And now a bunch of Weta engineers lost their jobs because of him. https://www.theverge.com/2023/10/9/23910441/unity-ceo-president-john-riccitiello-out-retire

My company announced a simulator training program using Unreal Engine. I bet the story sucks. https://modernbattlespace.com/2023/11/28/collins-aerospace-unveils-arcus-image-generation-solution-at-iitsec-2023/

Heartbreak all around. This is a cute BG3 animation.

A ship with a similar name to the Prydwen, BoS stalking the land imposing order... It sounds like it to me. Anyway, it's like a law of the universe that this is going to suck balls. Might as well accept it. BTW, I see that AMC is developing an Alan Wake series.

The timeline has this taking place about 15 years after FNV. Maybe these are East Coast Brotherhood invading the NCR?

The article says it is. It looks to me like the BoS are going to be stand ins for "authoritarian conservatives ruining our fun."

Little history on the ship. Prydwen is a later name given to King Arthur's ship, which supposedly sank in the sound of Bardsley, which in Welsh is Fryddiau Caswennan. So the ship is indeed a nod to the Prydwen.

Fallout TV series Prydwen confirmed? edit- fake Prydwen- it's called the "Caswennan"

Yeah, I'm fine with it too. Glad that these 2 games are getting recognized.

BG3 is currently #1 in the Player's Vote GOTY running. Cyberpunk Phantom Libery is #2. Starfield is #18/22

He should have said to name three books in the series. Pretty sure that would have stumped her. And she followed it up with the Twilight series.
