I picked up Expedition 33 to play after Christmas during my PTO. All the cut scenes in this game makes me think they needed to make a short film or series instead. Gameplay is fun, when I can dodge, and I enjoy the different characters. But regret putting a resource into one character after Act 2.

The best way to beat AI slop? Systemic change, regulatory overhaul. The next best way? Rebelling against it in our everyday lives.
That means sustained, active engagement with non-slop—real people, challenging art, new ideas—in the real world and online.

“The first time I caught up to them, I could tell that they already knew who I was. They had seen me before, so they thought they were just going to speed away. I was like, ‘Ha ha, bitches, I got a new scooter!’"

I hate getting ads or seeing posts for crowdfunding campaigns that have not yet launched but they want me to subscribe to get notified when it does. I see that and then my opinion of the campaign takes a nosedive. Tell me when it's ready to back, not when there is nothing.

This is Denni. She took an unexpected babysitting shift when she found a baby koala in her yard. She cheerfully delivered the joey to her human, who put them back in the tree to be reunited with their mom. 14/10 (FB: Steve Lamplough)

I talked on stream yesterday about my issues with the Arcane Archer Unearthed Arcana. I'm big on fixing problems, so I've drafted my D&D 5.5E Arcane Archer Redux, and gave design notes for why I made the changes. You can check it out for free right now!
