The FALLOUT LONDON launch trailer.

I probably don’t have time to play this.

You can pick up FALLOUT LONDON at GOG, and they’re kind of suggesting that you grab a copy of FALLOUT 4 GOTY there and disable updates. This seems like a very good suggestion, because apparently it won’t work on Next-Gen Fallout and the developers aren’t even going to bother trying to keep up with the updates. I can’t say that I blame them much for that, either. Besides, I also think this replaces the base game, and people are still playing the base game. Heck, I’m finishing up Far Harbor as we speak.

The “…Well. THAT looks like [expletive deleted]” DRAGON AGE: THE VEILGUARD reveal trailer.

I mean, I kind of felt bad after the DRAGON AGE: THE VEILGUARD trailer. Bioware’s dead to me, sure, but I’m not into watching EA violate its corpse like this. It’s… unseemly.

PS: What do I hate about it? I dunno, everything? The aesthetic looks like EA heard ARCANE was cool but wasn’t sure why, the storyline’s all over the place, Dragon Age has never really been able to decide what kind of fantasy setting it is and they keep making things worse with every game, I haven’t been happy with the gameplay since ORIGINS, and I have an almost irrepressible urge to just haul off and punch the featured NPC above in the nose. It’s not even because I dislike the NPC. It’s just that s/he/it/whatever has a very punchable nose.

Sony reverses course on linking Playstation accounts to HELLDIVERS 2.

Man, I miss the days when you didn’t worry about SEO in your title. I would have totally made a torturous joke about Sony getting swarmed by those ballistic drop bullets HELLDIVER 2 apparently uses. I dunno, my kid’s the one who plays it.

Also: if you happen to have Community Notes access on Twitter – which, by the way, offers endless opportunities to aggravate people who really deserve to be aggravated – there’s an entertaining (if ultimately counter-productive) argument going off inside there. Ach, well. I suppose it was inevitable.

My kid is now a solid Helldivers 2 player. Fixing this mess for him is gonna be fun…

Got Fallout 4 up and running again.

More or less. The Script Extender is still being updated, so I can’t use any of those mods. Right now I’m just carving my little mini-settlement out of Sanctuary, prepping everything so that people can move right on in when I get around to going to Concord. I’m not really playing it again so much as I’m waiting for the Starfield DLC to drop…

PS: I know people think Fallout: New Vegas has a better story, and it does — but I can build stuff in Fallout 4. That’s a huge part of the fun for me.

They’re being jackasses over trademark, apparently.

I understand that this particular situation is weird and complicated, but dammit: physical discs are harder to deactivate.
