Siliconera: Armored Core VI may be the best game FromSoftware has made to date
That statement carries a megaton of weapon-grade weight upon it.
Mostly kept away from news about BG3 story because I'm playing it and don't want to be spoiled. Had no idea that there might be "backlash" against Lae'zel. Though I'm not going to read much stock in an article that's just a bunch of tweets compiled together.
Had plenty of RPG characters not to be to my taste in other games, but my complaints usually only come in if there's too many of them within a single game. I kinda want to know there's a range of characters to explore with, shows breadth. Certainly if it were a full palette of whiny brats then I'd probably bounce off the game.
My only complaint so far (and I know there's been posts in this area) is just how fucking horny people seem to be. I'm trying to buddy up with party members and they're taking it as me coming on to them. I feel like I'm walking on egg shells when picking some responses in fear it'll get me shoved into the sex pen with them. I'm also surprised at how fast relationships develop. I'm still in act one and have had 3 or 4 people in my camp express their wishes to bed me. Dudes, we've just met and yer boi has a fucked up STD like wriggler in my eye.
Hide for 30 days is not the option I want YouTube. I blocked them on desktop and have trained my brain to ignore them as I use the iOS app.

Wait, I can redeem cash prizes?!?
I did web design in the 90's and remember one customer reviewing the site that I'd designed her. She said she liked it, but asked if I could add something like that neat little paper clip she has when she opens up Word, so it can help people navigate her site.
Note: Javascript was in its early days around this time so the idea of a dynamic/interactive site like this was not on the cards.
For those wanting to know what the ink costs for comparison it's £2.04 per ml.
Next time I'm in the club and want to show how baller I am then I'm buying a round of HP light magenta.
I'd recommend avoiding Google for web searching. Duckduckgo has been a good alternate for me for about 5 years now. I've heard that Bing is a good alternate, even though its a Microsoft service. ChatGPT is also a good option to compliment web searches, though I'd recommend getting a second result from another service if looking up an answer to a question, but when doing general questions/suggestions it can outperform a web search in both detail and ability to refine/filter.
Google is just a ranked ad delivery service based on an abused and gamed SEO system, it's fucking awful for delivering useful links.
Reddit is far too recognizable of a name to die. Myspace still exists today, as does Digg. It may have peaked and shifted from its original vibe, and will continue to shift, but with it it'll still live on as the investors try to figure out ways to claw back their money.
I'm sure in ten years time you'll be able to visit reddit.com and be fed some cleansed ad friendly news feeds snuggled between ads, pointing you to content funded by marketing money. Just go to Digg right now and you'll see it.
This is like the discovery of the Rosetta stone.
It's already dead, please leave the corpse alone.
It is kinda sad given the legacy of the show, it almost made it to 30 and was the place of so many big industry moments (good and bad). Things have become more spread out now across GamesCom, PAXs, TGS, GDC, Develop and the many I'm forgetting.
I can get the argument that we really don't need much of an in-person event given that stuff can be streamed instantly around the world now, we don't need to rely on people setting up cameras in front of TVs to show off noisy gameplay footage, but the fact that so many others shows still exist proves that there is a want for in-person events.
E3's death kinda came about because it got chipped away from all sides. There were better places for industry deal making to be done (GDC), Big publishers peeled off to do their own thing, and the expensive mark up that hit the other companies no longer appealed as they could get what they needed from PAX and GamesCom.
