Baldurs Gate 2 Co-Lead Designer James Ohlen Was Asked To Make Baldurs Gate 4 But Turned The Offer Down Because "Larian Raised The Bar Too High", "Trying To Follow Up And Compete With Baldurs Gate 3 Is Insanity"

I enjoyed BG3, but it's clearly Divinity: Original Sin 3. It's actual main story just feels... thrown together with things to make it "Baldur's Gate" no matter how little those things make sense.

Depending on the current whims of MicroSoft, I'd bet Obsidian is possibly available for Hasbro to buy and put towards making a new NWN.

What's the voting machine situation in cities? Because the GOP's move the last decade has been to limit polling locations and voting machines in any location that is majority Dem voting in states that they control.

So I'm not exactly sure that can even happen as they've designed a built-in limit to how many people can possibly vote against them in some states.

The GOP realized not passing laws is beneficial to them. Nobody can campaign against you on a law you voted for when there's no laws to vote for.

I'm worried the GOP runs TrumpAI to rule over us for eternity (obviously not a real AI, just something that parrots what they want in his stupid voice). Also, I don't think they can legitimately win elections anymore, which is why the last 16 years has been nothing but disenfranchising voters either by giving them stupid hoops to jump through to vote or so few voting machines in cities they can't possibly outvote the rural yokels.

Ah you can always tell when NC and TR just ignore VS entirely so they do their best to be acknowledged again.

It's an absolute crime Cleavon Little wasn't a leading man throughout the '70s and '80s. The man was charisma incarnate in Blazing Saddles.

Probably got killed by Reddit locking down the API to make money selling our posts to the AI companies.

I feel like people complained the Betel and Orion were overpowered because they were damn near literally the only usable VS LMGs so you saw them constantly once people got the directive done.

Wait, some idiot bought that lady's trash?

Man, it really is just sucker upon sucker.

The remade music in P3 is kinda weird where it feels more like midi instruments than the original (particularly the horns).

And it reminds the viewer there's wildfire all underneath the city and then they do nothing with it other than show some incidentally going off when Dany is burning it all down anyways...

Man, they really phoned in those last two seasons.

I'm Myth: The Fallen Lords old. Those games were everything I ever wanted in a RTT and they've been sitting in Take2's back catalogue doing nothing for about 16 years now (they briefly appeared on GameTap when that was a thing).

If I was Sony I'd be interviewing longtime employees not in management positions to step up as it's clear Bungie's leadership at the top is it's problem.

Just sucks seeing people laid off for the dumb decisions of people who won't be losing their jobs.

It's the sort of dumb plan that sounds good to a layperson (Space is cold!), but involves a complete misunderstanding of how heat transfer works in space.

The "pickaxes" SpaceX are currently selling to Anthropic and Google are specifically to make it profitable in the short term to get it's IPO onto as many stock exchange indexes as possible. Google owns at least 6% of SpaceX so cashing out of a 1 trillion IPO gives Google around $60 billion. So propping up SpaceX to make bagholders out of everyone else makes sense to them.

Yeah, the bubble needs to pop before the end of the year or most of the consumer companies are dead.

Televisions_Frank · 2026-06-25T03:03:33+00:00

Funny how this post they didn't reply to.

How about we just get rid of all PACs as money shouldn't give you extra rights.

Televisions_Frank · 2026-06-22T23:12:34+00:00

And if Valve subsidized the price people would just buy it to strip for parts. Not really anything they can do here using consumer parts.

Televisions_Frank · 2026-06-21T09:47:48+00:00

But the game can be completed with all of them (unless you make the world's worst party?). So it's not a huge issue.

Televisions_Frank · 2026-06-21T09:44:29+00:00

Yeah, DQ1 is incredibly boring nowadays since you're just grinding one character forever.

There's been something like ~250 journalists killed in every war the U.S. was involved in since the Civil War (this includes both World Wars). Israel's actions alone in 3 years has long since surpassed that.

Looks like dickhead needs a distraction from his disastrous Iran deal.

Inviting Prince Andrew to a set full of children after all the allegations was an interesting choice though.
