so Balders Gate 3 takes place around Balders Gate.  fascinating

The game takes place in a tiny part of The Sword Coast.

“The Dungeons & Dragons franchise takes place in the world of Toril”

One of my favorite things in Dark Souls 3 is battling through a grueling landscape, slogging through an interminable swamp at the base of an enormous bridge and then you pop out somewhere higher up once you have the context of where you’ve been and see that...it’s all there, visible and connected, covering maybe…

Other members of the subreddit have weighed in and pointed out that some of Larian’s official map renderings do seem to take a few liberties with its illustrations, including having mountains in places where they didn’t previously appear.

A “technical error” consisting of a very deliberately placed ad for their new game that occurs at a very specific in-game action....yeah I’m going to call bullsh*t on that one.

He didn’t say they were lying about the incident *being* an error. He is asking for more clarification on the *nature* of the error. Probably something like: Was this a new feature being tested that got leaked? How did it come about that timely, live advertisements are tied to in-game button presses? What about…

Lol this would be the most Ubisoft thing to do. Put me in the “accidentally leaked” camp.

That’s....actually a good policy.

So you know how in the US even a little sexuality gets a game an M rating? The same is true in Japan for any game that allows killing civillians. In Goldeneye you can kill scientists and in Jet Force Gemini you can kill the civillians.

Reference to a Rage Against The Machine song about cops.

The second I saw that the original founder was replaced by a 31 year old woman I knew she would last days (more of a comment on Silicon Valley politics than Mira Muarti herself).

Before they put the rest of us out of work, it’s nice to see one of them lose their job.

“AI actually has potential to be a useful technology.” For the people who absolutely don’t need anymore power, sure. It’s not for us (unless you think being a better consumer is ‘useful’). 

I don’t believe that for even one second. Think about it: it’s a non-profit with a for-profit subsidiary. The whole point is to use the non-profit status to justify their theft (“the stolen material in the datasets are for research purposes!”), protect them from criticism (we’re not just trying to line our pockets, we…

“I have guns, gold, potassium iodide, antibiotics, batteries, water, gas masks from the Israeli Defense Force, and a big patch of land in Big Sur I can fly to.”

“Became” a circus?  It’s been one since the beginning. It’s the same all the same idiots running the crypto scams now moving into the AI scam and the same tech “journalists” are falling for the same scam all over again. 

French GQ, for example, apparently called the film “deeply clumsy, unnatural, and unintentionally funny, French newspaper Le Figaro comparing its versions of Napoleon and Josephine to Ken and Barbie, and Napoleon biographer Patrice Gueniffey calling it “very anti-French and very pro-British. Scott, who of course is…

Yes, exactly. I think Scott had two or three good movies in him and the rest have been mediocre at best. He gets by on bluster and arrogance and “you’re no smart enough to understand my art”, not on what he produces.
