I just want to be friends with all the companions but every single one of them keeps expecting me to kiss them. ):

"Watch the Irishman Suffer" is practically it's own genre of Star Trek episode. Chief O'Brien needs a break, he's just a regular dude who has witnessed his own death too many times.

Hello from Spokane, where we were literally off the chart yesterday! (AQI of 511 out of 500!) I went outside for five minutes to water the garden and my eyes were stinging and teary for a while afterwards.

But nobody gives a shit unless it's the east coast, because this has happened nearly every year for the past 5 years. At least I can see the sky today.

The sweating means I'm enjoying it. I don't want a curry unless it makes my nose start running.

Can't stop thinking about it every waking moment. I have put off many household chores just to eke a few more minutes of gameplay out. It's a massive accomplishment of a game with a few bugs, but still an incredible and well deserved achievement for Larian.

I am a little worried because it felt like I had to poke into everything in Act 1 to get enough XP to get to Act 2. Hopefully the outcomes are different enough to make replaying interesting, because I know I want to do several playthroughs.

Why is everyone acting like Dragon Age: Origins is the only fantasy RPG that ever existed? Baldur's Gate 3 is the next step in a long legacy of genre defining games.

Don't tell my friends, but I actually like GMing more than playing now. It's fun to have the galaxy-brain "always on" feeling and multitask information. (And it's always your turn in combat!)

It feels like game development timelines are so long these days that there's very few games per hardware generation. I look back at the PS2's library (to be fair, it was enormous even for its own time) and everything on the Switch feels tiny in comparison.

Also, even if the "new Nintendo Switch(i)" or whatever is backwards compatible, the rise of digital sales means I can't play my switch games on the new console anyway.

I'm just tired of having to buy new crap.

It’s also been confirmed that the game will give “affectionate and consensual romance options with a man temporarily transformed into a grizzly bear,” for example.

Excuse me, what the fuck?

I am desperate to discuss this game, it's possibly one of my top 3 Final Fantasy games.

The combat feels pretty great, I don't mind it being a Devil May Cry action system. It's really satisfying to chain together evades and teleports and blow up the screen with particle effects. The game really opens up as you get more abilities but it does take a while to get into the full scope of combat.

The sense of spectacle is amazing, I am a huge fan of kaiju movies, so I am all on board for 50 foot monster battles.

And the story and characters are so good! It's so refreshing to get a story where the protagonists want to make the world a better place by throwing down oppressive authority and are actually allowed to do so. Clive has a strong sense of honor and a very endearing dorky streak wrapped up behind all his emotional trauma and he's a great sympathetic protagonist. Cid is possibly one of the best Cids of all time (where did they find the absolute mutant that voices him?). Jill is a perfect complement to Clive, they are possibly the only two people who can fully understand each other.

Additional marks for letting everyone say "Fuck."

Please mark spoilers!

Honeybees are a non-native livestock species. Their survival rates tell us nothing about the health of the ecosystem, only the agricultural practices.

The bees we need to save are the solitary native bees. http://xerces.org/pollinator-conservation

Good.

Reminder that Blizzard sexually harassed an employee literally to death.

Big Fuzzy Jumping Spider (pathfinder.social)

This spider got into my house this morning and I had to put it back out before the cat got it. It's about a half inch long and very fuzzy and cute.

I'm so hyped for this game. Yoshi-P is the only one at Square-Enix who knows what he's doing. We're going back to some cheesy ass faux-Shakespeare localization (yeah I like Final Fantasy XII, don't @ me). We're getting a classic medieval fantasy story with magic crystals and killing god, but you also get to play a motherfucking kaiju battle sometimes. Inject it directly into my veins.
