Almost finished BG3 (at almost 100 hours on this playthrough), then planning to start Starfield!

Good luck, you got this!

Been another week of pointless stressful bullshit at work for me, which eats into my real life outside of work more than I’d like. That being said, making some progress on finding a therapist (a surprisingly difficult process it seems) and also a driving instructor – almost made it to 30 without learning to drive, but the time is now!

Also starting the process of ditching music streaming in favour of Bandcamp, which has been fun. Been feeling some real nostalgia for the old days of buying tracks off iTunes!

Loved the first article, as a relatively recently out bi man, it’s always nice when I read something else that makes me feel seen, y’know?

I’m only relatively recently out, and still feeling out what label works best for me, but I like bi, it feels right. And it’s the nicest flag so 🤷‍♂️

Apollo all the way, sad to see it go

Thank you!

Mostly from YouTube and doing lots of experimenting on my own, I particularly like Max Hay’s stuff on YouTube, he’s recently released a paid-for course which I’ve done about half of and can say that it’s also very good so far. Normally I just try and get a good picture of what I want the outcome to be in my head, block it out in Blender with cubes etc, and then start googling for specific techniques to make things look the way I want.

I’m trying really hard not to get too hyped for Starfield, what with the way games seem to release these days…but damn it looks like the SciFi game I’ve always wished I could play!

Cult of the Lamb is great too.

Dorfromantik is a very chill puzzle game that runs great on Steam Deck if that’s your thing, a favourite of mine while the TV is going in the background.

If you’re into factory games I 1000% recommend Shapez, which is a shape-building game that doesn’t have the notion of grinding or currency or running out of resources. It’s immensely satisfying when you get the perfect mechanism together and you’re churning out shapes. Definitely one for mouse and keyboard though.

That’s brilliant, hope to see Reddit turn into nothing but a slew of super-specific protest posts.
