The announcement for the new Diablo 4 DLC reminds me how much I love that game -- except for the bosses. I hate video game bosses that change the entire play structure of the other90% of gameplay. Yuck. If I had a "skip boss" button for D4, I would probably never stop playing that game. One day...

Is the patch thing still true of the new Steam version? That is what I am asking.

This analogy does not work because the lawnmower is still in your neighbor's garage. Look, GenAI commercial art is bad for art and artists and consumers of art and, well, everyone. But that is a terribly narrow slice of what AI is and can be used for. There are costs, of course, and like...

Also, I totally forgot in all the Game Awards excitement: Temple of Elemental Evil is out on Steam. Has anyone gotten and played it yet?

The idea that no good can come from AI is as short sighted an idea as believing AI will bring us a techno-utopia where everyone can be Spielberg. There are a lot of things AI is really good at, in the same way that there are things computers do much better than humans. We absolutely should be...

I own it and just haven't gotten to it. Not least because I kind of don't enjoy depressing entertainment and I am worried it is going to be that.

OF COURSE they don't sell it in PDF. ::sigh::

I would be interested in their take on 5E sci-fi since, if I understand it correctly, the TTRPG part is a bit of a passion project for the game director.

Aside: Brass Against's Tool covers are AMAZING.

I think i want to get really acquainted with Rivellon before Divinity comes out. Which Divinity games are worth playing all the way through? I plan on definitely doing D:OS2, but should I D:OS1? What about the older games?

Is the RPG broadly available or did only backers get it?

I have done that, but generally I like to read the whole thing. I like Tolkien's prose, and there is important worldbuilding in Bombadil, plus a peak into Tolkien's philosophy.

Larian's next game is Divinity. Very cool cinematic trailer but way too early to know more. New Old Republic game announced. Diablo 4 gets a new DLC.

When people yell about Veilguard, I have to wonder how many Dragon Age games they have played. Each one is significantly different.

This theory seems to be completely at odds with the past 40 years of mass entertainment. I don't think there is a force on Earth that can make Opera "popular entertainment" again. If Cop Rock didn't do it...

One round. One hour. Ugh.

Gird yourself for The Old Forest. it is the most difficult, slowest chapter in the whole story, and it is where I hit a speedbump, if I am going to hit one at all on a particular reread.

There's a whole thread of people disagreeing with this rather uncontroversial perspective.

Any reactions from the Game Awards last night? I definitely need to finally play Expedition 33. I am super excited for Divinity, but I imagine it will be a few years. Similarly I am curious about the Fate of the Old Republic, but if the announcememnt trailer just dropped I will be retired by...
