In more positive, less doomscrolly news: Lex Imperialis, the second expansion to Rogue Trader, releases Tuesday. It may finally be time for me to think about diving in to this game! – even though I know a further two expansions are coming.

Since I shouldn't be the only one saddled with this terrible news I'm going to share it with all of you: The Steam Summer Sale begins on Thursday.

Saw someone referring to 'the original Baldur's Gate trilogy.' Yeah, I don't know, either.

We still have no idea who the ICE agents are. They could be insurrectionists, extremist militiamen or criminals themselves, chasing law-abiding citizens down the street for recording their kidnappings. The odds they aren't are low. Congress must raise hell about this. A masked gang runs our country.

Why do I suddenly feel like doing a halfling Way of the Drunken Master Monk run.

I think I may have found a new favorite developer in Spiderweb Software! It's just one guy and his wife, and he's been making CRPGs for the last few decades. I've put in a little over 20 hours into Avernum: Escape from the Pit and it's so good! The writing and world-building are all excellent.

Hey @cynetrunner.bsky.social : given your appreciation of cyberpunk settings and CRPGs, you might want to keep an eye on this game. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yo4n...

Something I've noticed in the last few months is that as I've gotten older, FOMO is not a thing for me when it comes to video games. It struck me that I could easily spend the rest of my life replaying my favorite games, only playing new games from my favorite devs, and be quite happy.

Of course.... 🤦‍♂️

Should mention that I played these six games for the first time back in 2001, from around June through to the end of the year. They are the reason why I love RPGs so damn much. 🥰

I started Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura this morning (first time I'm playing the game in 24 years!) and it should come as no surprise to anyone who knows me that it took me almost an hour to get out of the character creator. 🤣
