Actually, it can be there, but then you won’t know how fast it’s moving.

At first this caption made me think that Kenyan giraffes are especially gay, as if Kenya was some kind of Washington D.C. of giraffe world. In other news, I am now aware of grey whale orgies.

I feel called out

like this?

Looks like Delta will be one of the first, but I don’t think it’s available just yet.

I think “Nintendo” should be treated like a plural noun because they consist of many lawyers.

Nice try kiddo, but sloth is a sin 😎

Yes, I get that literally clean energy is important and in many places it would be a significant improvement. It can also be easier to explain that we need to move away from fossil fuels based on tangible pollution, not the nebulous “greenhouse gasses” and “global warming”, especially when talking to conservative folks.

Still, I feel like public awareness of the issue is… questionable. Whenever I read about some government program to fund more renewable energy, or hear politiciants discuss it, it’s almost always the literal clean, not green clean. Invisible emissions will still mess up our climate, and more people should know that.

One of my personal pet peeves, along with people who act like “clean energy” simply means no smog or visible particulate emissions.

I see nothing wrong here

Cisco needs to open a restaurant where they cook with heat from servers.

Great, some nightmare fuel to refill my nightmare tank.

Unity executives kind of forgot they can’t change US law on a whim like they changed their Terms Of Service.

Are you trying to summon Louis Rossmann?

I thought I’d refresh my memory of DOS2 by watching a playthrough on Youtube and noticed some very suspicious references to Project Gustav and mind flayers. After some digging I found out Tarquin’s plan worked out, apparently he’s wreaking havoc casting Source magic in Baldur’s Gate.

Because some Act 3 content was scrapped in a way that leaves hanging threads with no resolution, awkwardly pointing you to things that were changed/removed, such as:

Personally I think in Act 3 general pacing is a bit wacky, also the amount of quests there are in Lower City is overwhelming. Is this a result of moving a bunch of quests that were originally intended for Upper City? No way to find out.

Of course it’s perfectly normal to cull content that seems too ambitious, time consuming etc., Larian just didn’t properly cauterize what was left after removing all that stuff, which made the story flow really weird in some cases.

Also in the release Panel From Hell (timestamp here) it was mentioned that Crystal, the associate writing lead spent 6 months working on various ending permutations, and now we don’t get to see most of them because they’re too long. Oof.

One of the reasons why we trimmed the epilogue is because we were afraid the ending cinematics were becoming too long and would detract from the epicness of the experience.

Deception check critical failure. Larian pls.

I was willing to grant them the benefit of the doubt when it comes to some disjointed writing/quests in Act 3 if they were pushing for a quicker release, but now they come out and say

It’s just important to know that what ultimately shipped was planned long ago, in function primarily of making Baldur’s Gate 3 fun to play, not for us to close development quickly.

Well… more power to you I guess, though I really, really hope they’re just bullshitting and will make a Definitive Edition in a year or so.

On this note, does anyone have experience with Minthara later in the game? Does she even have a companion quest chain like everyone else? From what I’ve read her interactions are more limited compared to other companions.

I think I’m in the middle of Act 3 and I’ve had every companion I met in Act 1 ask me out, except for Karlach. Yes, I helped her with the infernal engine upgrade. I’m just slightly confused, maybe I picked a wrong dialog option early on.

Realistically we’ll see Spa and Interlagos dropped for 2 more street courses in the middle of a desert. My expectations for Domenicalli and his buddies are pretty low.
