  • I didn’t even have any hype for this game because I don’t do anything DnD related and I typically don’t like how complicated CRPGs are, but this game has me by the balls and I constantly think about it. I find myself having to avoid some fights even on easy (those god damn phase spiders in the well at the goblin village) but it’s so freakin’ great either way. I played co-op on Friday with a friend who has been playing DnD for 30 years and he was impressed by my experimentation and creativity which is something I’m usually pretty poor at.





  • I’ve had a job posting up for 3 months in the Midwest USA for a couple of warehouse positions starting at $25 an hour and I’m barely even getting any applicants. We still have a few boomers and GenX in the warehouse but the millennials (like me) and GenZ went to college so they aren’t looking for these jobs, at least around here. We’re a very small company so the weird thing to me is that this is an easier warehouse than Amazon to work in, by far, and the Amazon hub 10 miles down the road has no problem staffing, even though they only pay $16.00/hr and their benefits sucks ass compared to what we offer. The average warehouse pay in my area for my industry is $18 an hour.



  • Depends what you mean by measure up. Baldur’s Gate 3 is my first CRPG that I was able to stick with for more than an hour and I absolutely LOVE it, and that was before even trying co-op, which somehow made it even better. I’m hopelessly obsessed with it, to the point where I had all Sunday to myself while my wife napped off her hangover, and I opted to try to power through the rest of Final Fantasy 16, just hoping I could get to the end, so I can focus purely on BG3 with all of my gaming time. It would be nonsense to compare this game to Starfield (which I’m also very excited for) because they’re such vastly different types of RPGs. I think this game sets the generational benchmark for RPG quality, but I don’t think it’s even going to be the highest selling RPG of the year if that’s what benchmark we’re using. I think for now and the foreseeable future it’s certainly the benchmark for quality especially when it comes to your choices actually mattering.
