She has a pretty face and she looks kind which is a precious quality. Also, she plays great games.

 

Seems like a pretty good person.

 

Agreed, she has sweet and authentic reactions to everything & seems like a good woman, like the German girl Lizz

 

I think she is probably based up north near Maine USA.  

 

The other Witcher fangirl is Meg and IMHO she overreacts to everything.

 

Lizz did a stream of Witcher 1.  I need to re-watch Witcher 1, I am currently re-doing the audiobook for the books.

Witcher 1 modded looks noticeably better.  This game always had massive potential for a remake

I'm starting to watch Excalibur 1981.  The artistic style is so similar to Dark Souls 1 that I think Miyazaki definitely got inspired by it.

 

The film is genius level, like watching a lucid dream.

Looks like they took some inspiration from both dark souls and bloodborne.

I think this madame is from one of the stories in the books!

Been playing Baldur's Gate 3.

 

It is great. Some of the backlash from the industry as a whole has been interesting too. Interesting as in very stupid and revealing.

 

I'm thirty hours into it and still very much in ACT I of the game. It's huge in terms of content.

 

If you are interested in some of the background about the controversy (mostly other devs and game critics complaining about the ambition and scope of BG3) then this IGN video gives you some basic idea.

I've heard many times people saying the game is great. Looks like the big surprise of 2023.

It looks well made but I think a disadvantage is that it is turn based, a lot of people aren't into that so much.

Another proof of the benefits of competition. Gamers are the best because they only reward good work (unlike other types of customers).

 

This shows the divide between 2 models :

a) big studios buying each other to become one big mob, milk the shit out of us and force-feed woke propaganda to lick the boots of woke journos/influencers

b) medium studios (aka the competitive fringe), working hard, fostering competition and focusing on one thing: providing good games

 

Competition is king. Long live market economies!

PS: I'm surprised that IGN didn't defend big studios for once... good for them! (or maybe it's the competition of youtubers that make them stop shilling for big studios)
