The “I want Civ II back” CIVILIZATION 7 trailer.
I do want Civ II. Every version of Civilization since then has not thrilled my soul. I doubt Civilization 7 will, either. Is this… is this the triggering event that will prove, once and for all, that I am old?
The Exceptionally Self-Aware THE OUTER WORLDS 2 trailer.
THE OUTER WORLDS 2 is a sequel, with all that this implies. Obsidian knows it. They accept it. They may have actually rolled in it. I will not lie to you: I laughed. Repeatedly. That’s a good sign!
The ‘negative interest now’ VAMPIRE: THE MASQUERADE BLOODLINES 2 trailer.
Yeah. The mantra is ‘no preorder,’ and I can sorta see why. This game screams ‘development Hell,’ the character faces and skins would have looked good in 2016, and there’s just something obnoxious about trying to make a Nosferatu look winsome. I don’t even mean the transgender thing. The World of Darkness has incorporated that stuff since long before it was trendy. But male, female, nonbinary, whatever: Nosferatu are supposed to be ugly. It’s the bloody, ha, point of that Clan.

[UPDATE: Sleep Madness has struck. I’m out. Peace!]
Baldur’s Gate 3 is very fun. It is also kind of distracting, and distracting may be… a good idea for the rest of the month. It’s getting a bit intense out there.
I’m impressed with Baldur’s Gate 3’s game engine.
It’s crisp, smooth, no stuttering, and intuitive once you figure out what the keys do. I assume everybody spam-saves before doing dice checks, yes? Because I am totally doing that, and I don’t care what that says about me.
Check out Baldur’s Gate 3* if you haven’t already… oh, who am I kidding? I am one of the last people in my demographic to download the game.

So I’ve been playing it. Well, after they got Starfield Script Extender to work, at least. One entertaining thing that’s come up is Bethesda’s weird little habit of trying to pump up the drama of having my character join yet another faction. I’m always amused by that. Like I’m going to buy the DLC and not play it? So yeah, yeah, hail the Great Serpent and show me the cool ship I’m gonna have at the end of this which I’ll never fly because I actually got the corridors* to work right on my current starship. And I can go from one level to another without having to jump down some stairs.
Sorry. It’s just that it took forever to figure out how to do that. I’m gonna brag about it.
*Starfield desperately needs some designated four-way and two-way corridors that are clearly labeled. They got it working for Fallout 4, they can get it working here.

Should I play SPACE MARINE before SPACE MARINE 2?
SPACE MARINE is apparently ten bucks on Amazon (the anniversary edition is fifteen bucks on Steam). Is it worth it to play that first for the story, or should I just shout THE EMPEROR PROTECTS and get SPACE MARINE 2 when I’m tired of farting around with FALLOUT 4 until the new STARFIELD expansion comes out? …Which is in ten days, so I probably would have to move on all of that.

Modders unlock full BALDUR’S GATE 3 mod kit. :wink:
As I understand it, when Larian Studios released the mod kit for BALDUR’S GATE 3 a few days ago they left some of the tools greyed out and inaccessible. Why? Well, they say ‘complexity,’ but I suspect they mean ‘Hasbro.’ Copyright violations of D&D, copyright violations of other IPs, copyright violations involving porn* – take your pick, the company’s probably going to freak out over it. So they released a restricted mod kit.
