    Solasta: Crown of the Magister

    Started it up and I'm already very impressed. Your original characters are created with various personality attributes which shape the different dialogue options that are available to them. Yes... this is a game where your original characters are not mute but are, in fact, actual characters...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    They have apparently sold a million copies on Steam. This would align with their statement that sales were 'insane'.

    The Haunting of Bly Manor

    Well Kate Siegel (Viola) is the wife of Mike Flanagan and so I knew she had to come into play at some point. Was still and interesting backstory episode.

    The D&D thread

    We are doing Dragon Heist at the moment and at level 4 no one in the party has a single magic item of any kind.... This is especially bad as both me (Rogue) and the other melee guy (Monk) have substantially worse AC than either the Wizard or the Cleric.

    Torchlight III

    Decided to give this another shot as I hadn't played in months and certainly not since they made many of the post free-to-play conversion. It's not good. I actually nodded off while playing at around level 10. It's just that uninspired...

    Star Trek: Discovery

    At first I thought the 'guns' were just like the personal transporters and were beaming whoever was hit to jail. NOPE She does indeed murder a lot of security folk and who-knows-how-many bystanders caught in the crossfire. The fact that the space cops accept their surrender instead of...

    The West Wing

    It was a different read of the character, but in doing so it highlights the aspect that the actor injects into the words. Same words, different delivery.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I am very intrigued by the storyline from the quasi-animated short trailers they came out with. Nothing about the actual gameplay has motivated me and so this is the first expansion I've not prepurchased.

    Star Trek: Discovery

    First episode of the new season is "meh". Its all mystery box about what happened to the Federation in this distant future and the various different side mysteries about various new characters / situations. J.J. Abrams would be tickled pink.

    Playstation 5

    The local Burger King is right next to the local McDonalds and the difference between the two is striking. The McDs will have two drive thru lanes that are completely full with an queue to even get to the lane split that goes back 4-5 cars while the Burger King will have not a single soul...

    Dune (2020)

    I think we would have seen this released digital had Mulan done better. Executives viewed Mulan as a tentpole movie for reasons that are completely unfathomable to me. Even if I wanted to see it, which I do not, its not like theres any level of FOMO associated with a movie like Mulan.

    They should make a Razer Vritra for neanderthal men with big Americanski hands.

    Cyberpunk 2077

    Razer has effectively sink their claws into me with the naga. I can't even comprehend gaming now without the numpad at the thumb position of my mouse. This is amplified for any action-y game like Diablo.

    Cyberpunk 2077

    I am trying to not get too excited about this, but its hard. While I enjoy action type games for what they are (Risk of Rain 2 for example) I am aching for a world that I can just get lost in and chill out for awhile. The last time I felt like that was Mass Effect 1... I was happy just to...

    This dropped today. So far not as enraptured by the first episode. The only ghosts or related background things I noticed were the obvious plague doctor ones.

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Steam does have fairly large 'This is Early Access....' warning messages that you have to acknowledge along the path to purchase. I guess people look at it as an EULA and ignore it.

    Season 4 was based on the weakest book though. I think they did rather well given the source material.

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    There is quite a bit of this sort of environment related gameplay elements. It has to have been a royal bitch to develop but now that they have it as a tool it should be possible to do some pretty awesome things with it.

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Blame the Brits. They are the ones who came up with the githyanki etc in White Dwarf magazine. Then it got added to the Fiend Folio and the rest is history.

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    I should have said 'taking the time to code' rather than adding. I actually preferred the way 4e handled healing in that the healer was more of a catalyst for healing rather than a walking medic. In our 5e pen and paper games we've had people try to play creative cleric/druid types the past...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    I mean it makes sense in that Githyanki are a big new addition for this game. They are the new Tieflings I guess. Peak concurrent users on Steam for the past 24 hours is 73k. So that's a LOT of people for Early Access...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    They did a cool thing by adding in a bunch of nifty spells. Damn shame that I'm back to 'heal bitch' for the cleric and 'pew pew magic missiles' for the wizard in nearly all encounters. WRT Stadia -- it is far from ideal yeah but the GM for my Zoom-based D&D game has a crappy mac and otherwise...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    I can already see many different ways this first megamap of encounters and interactions can go down. Had difficulty playing multiplayer with a bud who uses Stadia because PC had a hotfix yesterday that didn't go out to Stadia right away. It seems odd to take a long rest during the first map...

    Theater Chain Death Watch? Chapter 11s inc

    What are the odds that WW84 sticks with the X-mas day release? Warner Brothers has cleared all other 'event' films waaaaay out with the next one being Dune in Oct 2021 and stuff like The Batman shoved all the way to 2022.

    Ahh I hadn't noticed that. Obviously the Githyanki chick is super evil and Astarion seems to be a vampire... Gale seems to be a Dorian knockoff, only a womanizer.

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    I don't know if the companions available are evil so much as douches. It looks like there is potential for you to play as one of the companions given the options in the character generator, which would help with the whole 4 person limit for parties. The 'low magic' 5e is driven largely by...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    I do like the amount of flexibility they incorporate. You can use spells in much more creative ways than before but the flip side is that unlike in Pathfinder the melee classes are kinda dull.

    I played their demo that they had up for that Steam Week thingy back in June and I was pleasantly surprised by Solasta. It really felt like an authentic D&D experience.
