We know there might be questions about what Early Access will include.

Well, worry not, weโ€™ve got you covered! ๐Ÿ‘‡

Hey, @larianstudios.com - is there a chance you might be working on a fix for the last BG3 hotfix that broke so many people's games? I can't get more than 10 frames per second, now. The game is unplayable after starting a new game and playing for a few hours. There's been no response at the forums.

Last night I was finally well enough to run the second episode of our Savage Worlds space adventure campaign. Building our own world and digging into the various SWADE rules we didnโ€™t get to use much in the last game, and having a blast. Sci-fi Companion for the win!

Heโ€™s a legend in the industry for so many reasons, but his treatment of minority characters and female characters in that book definitely helped blaze the trail for better representation. And thatโ€™s just on the page, he did much the same for the people he worked with.

I was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves.
Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven't lived in blood and bone.
That doesn't mean I want my people bombed, maimed, killed, their homes in ruins.
If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it's not freedom you're after.

I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own governmentโ€™s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds.

I support neither imperialism or dictatorship.

Indiana ICE immigration bill heads to governorโ€™s desk for final signature into law The Indiana Senate approved a bill that allows local and state police to enforce federal immigration laws and cooperate with ICE.

Events like Gen Con owe their community an explanation of how they intend to ensure the safety of convention-goers who may be targeted due to national origin, racial profiling, or โ€œgender policingโ€ in a state like Indianapolis, while justifying their continued presence in such an unwelcoming state.

Tired of AI hype posts? You might like my sober assessment of whether AI-generated summaries are suitable for studying and research. Spoiler alert, they are not.

They replaced the Xbox CEOs with an AI CEO and someone else. Also all the game developer studio mismanagement, but that's not unique to Xbox.

Six different character faces, formatted to crop for virtual tabletop gameplay tokens. The characters are all wearing sci fi fascist uniforms from different military and social classes, bearing a somewhat family resemblance to each other.

After Mass Effect 2, where they cared so much about what Fox News had to say about the first game they cut a bunch of sexy content from the second.

Grappling with Gaming's Environmental Sustainability Issues "The global emissions of the games industry is 50 to 100 million tonnes of CO2. This equals the footprint of Sweden or Norway," said the SGA.

Between e-waste, rare materials, logistics, and now genAI, gaming's impact on the global climate is significant.

We speak to the Sustainable Games Alliance, Playing for the Planet, the Videogame History Foundation, and more to understand what's happening and what they're trying to change.

I just did the dumbest thing of my entire career to prove a much more serious point.

I tricked ChatGPT and Google, and made them tell other users Iโ€™m a competitive hot-dog-eating world champion

People are using this trick on a massive scale to make AI tell you lies. Iโ€™ll explain how I did it

How one country stopped a Trump-style authoritarian in his tracks What Brazil got right that America got wrong.

The Brazilian political system is, structurally, very similar to the American one. But when they elected a Trump-style authoritarian back in 2018, their Congress and Supreme Court actually fought back.

I went to Brazil to find out why. And what I learned surprised me.

I have never been happier to avoid the Current Movie Discourse and I will continue to not engage in the Current Movie Discourse because, in my opinion, the end goal was not to make a movie but to be the Current Movie Discourse and I would much rather show you the Editing Goat

If you're looking for fantasy games that don't funnel money to transphobes (and in fact has a number of queer and trans creatives involved with it), may I recommend Realms of Pugmire? It's kinda like D&D, but with cute dogs! realmsofpugmire.com

Holy shit. Ro Khanna fucking did it. He just went up there and read the six redacted names into record and threw down the gauntlet, challenging conservatives to join the fight against the "Epstein Class." Did we just see our generations' "Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last?" moment?

Age verification? I remember not being allowed to turn in college homework made on a dot matrix printer until they made a printer with a button on it that made the printout look like it was made on a typewriter. It was still against the rules, but what the teacher didn't know...
