Perfect use of AI, and a huge discovery really. Getting these windows into actual everyday life of the past is to me the most fascinating aspect of archaeology.

Love your work as always! I hope your health improves soon ♥️

I'd watch/read it but I refuse to log into Facebook.

Pure, unadulterated capitalism and greed finding new and horrifying ways of bleeding the people dry. Colour me unsurprised.

Nice! I gravitate to DEX builds too as it's just so nice to have bow access. My favourite stylish build is probably dual wielding the Tracers, but that's basically NG+ only.

Finishing up Pentiment probably later today, and it will be nice to have it over and done with. I will appreciate having played it, but I can't say actually playing it was all that fun. It's beautiful, it's well-researched and it has some interesting plots and characters in it but... god damn is it ever slow. Between the laboriously slow and often banal and uninteresting conversations and the lack of fast travel leading to half your playing time being watching your character slowly waddling across Tassing the game feels like an absolute slog to play.

I've been breaking up the tedium with Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree. I've had my eye on it as it's written by Bloodlines-writer Brian Mitsoda, and at 25% off on the summer sale I thought why not.

It's a Metroidvania Soulslike with a skill tree inspired by Path of Exile, and I'm really liking what I'm seeing so far. The combat has been solid, the build diversity seems great and the bosses have been good. The game is beautiful with a lovely art style and the level design is really good too.

From what I've seen so far I recommend checking it out if you like these types of games!

What's your favourite build?

That's up to us, the people.

I fucking hate those videos, I'm so bad at recognising them from thumbnail and title alone and always get irrationally angry whenever I stumble into starting to watch one.

Sure did. I think it was some sort of cryptobro group focused on "growth and monetisation" if I remember right. Named "Chosen" I believe?

I'm not sure I trust Nexus with a picture of my ID, you know. What a fucking mess.

I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I would wait for a bigger sale. The game is fine, the combat is solid and to its credit it's absolutely beautiful. But at its heart it's just a very polished Ubisoft open world game. It's also way too long given how dour the writing is. The story is fine but you can't maintain interest for 60 hours when everything is delivered in a stoic monotone.

Inte förvånande överhuvudtaget eftersom den sittande regeringen tycks ha som största prioritet att förvandla Sverige till USA.

Fullkomligt deprimerande.

Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree is 25% off. I held off on it on release but it's apparently much better now after the patches. It's a Metroidvania Soulslike, and the skill tree is clearly inspired by Path of Exile. I just started playing it yesterday but I'm really liking what I'm seeing so far.

I'm seeing the movie on wednesday, hoping it'll be a good time. On paper an old driver feeling pressed into playing dirty because he can't hang with the young guns anymore doesn't sound half bad. Though I doubt that's how it's portrayed in the film.

That's fair. As far as I know the same was true for Chris Roberts. Well, it wasn't so much that he had a publisher that would edit him as it was that he was fired and Microsoft came in and cobbled together what was there into an actual game (Freelancer).

Great list. I think I will replay about half your list at some point over the coming years. And might first time play Love For Sail as well.

There are a lot of great mods for BG2 as well to keep the game feeling fresh. Even moreso if you don't mind adding some fanfiction material, though I typically don't.

I was not aware of aggregatet.org, that's a cool instance. An instance run by a democratic organisation is interesting. Left leaning too. Might have to make an account there actually.

At least Molyneux has put out some good games. Yeah, they don't have all the earth shattering features he's promised, but there's some good titles in his portfolio. I'm not convinced Star Citizen is a good game.
