September financial update—and Beehaw needs your help rebuilding our donation base
  • I've not been around for a while, but last time I was here there was talk of moving off of Lemmy and on to a different kind of fediverse. Is that still the case or will we be remaining on Lemmy?

    Larian says it’s discussing potential Baldur’s Gate 3 DLC | VGC
  • As you get further from spells and abilities which have a limited and defined effect on the world (I hit him with a sword, this spell sets that on fire) and towards reality-bending superpowers (wish spells, divine intervention) the 5e ruleset becomes increasingly difficult to deliver within a CRPG framework.

    Sea of Stars (2023) review thread
  • A few of the reviews pick up on this and say its actually not just a tribute to them, but builds on and improves this kind of genre RPG.

  • Of course they are. They'd be mad not to.

    I am interested to see what they do, as they've said before the BG3 engine sorta breaks down after level 12 so they might not go any higher. Presumably that means it's another 'start at level 1' type campaign.

    A return to Icewind Dale or Spelljammer perhaps??

  • What matrix is missing is anyone that I know. Ultimately that is way more important than features in a messaging client.

    Microsoft’s Xbox Series S Parity Demands Are Now Handing Sony Free Wins
  • No. You can run split screen on non-Steam Deck PCs, and in fact you can launch BG3 on a Steam Deck as if it were a proper PC with split screen enabled (it prob just won't run well).

    Microsoft’s Xbox Series S Parity Demands Are Now Handing Sony Free Wins
  • Larian have disabled split screen on the Steam Deck to account for that lower power. They can't do the same thing for the XBox S release because Microsoft demand feature parity with the X.

    What is up with Baldur's Gate 3?
  • It's also bright and colourful and slightly cartoonish in a way that, say, Pillars of Eternity wasn't. I wonder if this makes it feel slightly more mainstream, slightly more 'fun', and a bit less like a stodgy old CRPG from yesterday (and to be clear, I loved PoE the way I loved BG and BG2).

    It's also got enough wild shit in it to grab a few headlines that way.

    (August) What are you working on now, DIY?
  • I am currently not installing a ventilation system in the workshop to remove nasty 3d printing fumes. Any day now I will start.
