Patch 7 for Baldur's Gate 3 just came out. If I've heard correctly, this is the end of the line for big updates. The highlight feature is new cinematics for evil endings.

Let me know how it is! I have it on PC, but mainly play on console, so I figure I won't get to experience it until it comes out for console. Might have to dip into PC again for the mod support though...

It's going to be a little while before I play again, not only am I right in the middle of a Knights of the Old Republic game right now, I need to work up the emotional fortitude to be able to handle an evil run in BG3.

You know that old internet saying: whenever someone mentions Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines someone reinstalls it? KOTOR is that for me. Now I gotta go play them both again.

I'm building a city out of red rocket.
It's known as New Boston and is a North Korea-esque settlement.

I writ up the Motto.

"Glory to the New Bostoneers!"
And I'm writing an anthem as well.

On the topic of hunger, I don't strictly support Kreia or her views on things, but damn if she wasn't a really cool villain for the time. Obsidian was cranking out gold back in the day and they still are. GOATs I tell's ya.

Ive enjoyed it a lot and i paid for the gold edition since i had the money saved though the multiplayer definitely needs more maps and game modes.

What they asking for price of PS5 Pro which one site i read it's $1,199 for us Australian is not worth it going on what out there for the ps5 and for it having no disc drive, no vertical stand and no backwards compatibility for PS1-3 discs.

On my own gaming front I'm kinda all over the place at the moment, it's starting to be a problem.

I've been getting through Space Marines 2 1 mission at a time (those things are long), and it's super fun. Ridiculous, gory, hoo-rah fun in that way that only WH40K can be.

I've picked GW2 back up again and finally hit "max level". I never knew how they did the end game prestige-like stuff before, it's pretty interesting. Mostly been working my way through the story with the intention of clearing at least 1 map every time I boot it up. Kinda messed up with my build though, cause I didn't save my hero points, so now I need to clear maps to get enough to finish my elite specialisation. Build is a little unfinished as a result.

I've got a Minecraft realm with the boys that I'm working on. Usually go for overground builds, but this time thought I'd be more dwarfish about it and build an underground base. I've got plans, but cause you need to dig everything out, it's taking a while. Guess this is why I usually go for overground builds. Still, gives me something to do if I want a mindless grind while I watch YT vids, or listen to a podcast.

Going through another BG3 playthrough as a Ranger/Fighter. Just got to Act 3. Romancing Lae'zel this time around. She's sweet in her own way, but I don't think I'll be doing it again on any future playthroughs. I'm sorry Lae'zel, it's not you, it's me.

Still popping into FF14 every now and then to do some roulettes and get my weeklies done.

Hop onto Zenless Zone Zero every now and then as well, but less often. The story hasn't caught my attention as much as Star Rail did, so I'm less invested, but I like the gameplay and the character designs.
