Nothing against the artist, they’re obviously highly skilled, but this (and other) character art is the biggest barrier to me wanting to try BG3.

I really don’t like it and have a hard time putting the reasons why into words. At the very least, the sneering smile, the hand gesture… It’s all too much. Feels like a Marvel movie poster.

I reconnected with my lifelong friend last weekend and it was great. It’s been about 4 or 5 years. Turns out we’d both gone through a lot of the same shit in that time and were able to share the trauma.

Number keeps going up

Yes. Most of them are “fentanyl zombie” followed by a number.

It sounds interesting to me. Whether or not I would play it myself depends on knowing more or playing a demo since it’s not the type of game I usually play, but if someone I know or one of the few streamers I follow was into it I would definitely be interested to watch.

I think it’s important to make the game you want to make and trust your vision. It looks good so far and I’m following you on Steam now to keep an eye on it. Good luck!

Maybe a hot take, but I’ve never really found horror to be scary at any age. I enjoy it more for the tension and suspense. And cool shit that happens in dark fantastical settings. In fact a lot of movies lose their edge when they reveal “the monster”. It’s better to imagine or only have a slight glimpse, or else it risks getting cheesy.

Following protests throughout Spain in 2024, tourist arrivals increased 4.1% in the first seven months of 2025, according to its National Statistics Institute.

And it’s going up still, despite it being an issue before this year. It’s interesting that there’s still an increase despite the pushback.

Makes me wonder if people who would have otherwise travelled to the US but decided not to are upping the numbers elsewhere.

You sure it’s not this?

Does your partner want a horse, or is it just you?

I’m absolutely “the gatekeeper”, but these days I like to keep the gate open and welcome newcomers who are interested in hearing an old man’s ramblings.

No, I think you’re all good. That part scared me too.

Remember to check the instruction manual for clues.

It’s starting to look like Facebook comments out here

No new games

It’s still unclear to me if you are always a trio.

Is “solo” you + 2 bots?

Can you play as 2 friends + 1 bot or 1 random player?

Get some sort of speaker or use a smartphone. Play some music or video and put your volume around your talking volume, or a little louder. Then leave the room and close the door. This way you can get a sense of how much noise bleeds outside to your roommate.

Have you all received any updates about beef strogonoff lately?

Why? Did something big happen?

• Be in MS Teams meetings all day and talk with your hands
• Delegate software and system changes with confidence based on the sales pitches of vendors who over-promise and under-deliver
• Be a punching bag for executives when the solutions that were meant to save money for the business end up costing more time and money than before

I’ve heard about that and through multiplayer have been able to experience it. Honestly I prefer the base game without either DLC. Even the Void DLC is too chaotic for my taste.
