The Divinity: Original Sin Collector’s Edition. Missing the art book that was exclusive to the Kickstarter Edition, but otherwise a sharp package and Larian’s best physical release at the time.

I’m watching the new Naked Gun movie, and the bit with the snowman just broke me. 🤣

I loved Malcolm in the first game. The way they did his story in the third game never sat right with me… he was clearly sinister and evil in the first game, not goofy and misunderstood.

Absolutely. Digital is convenient but it can never replace the feel of physical game packages. The packaging itself was part of the game’s experience. The manual was the first glimpse into the world. We studied the maps, read the inserts, studied the screenshots.

The Neverwinter Nights 2 Lawful Good and Chaotic Evil editions. Beautiful oversized packages filled with figurines, rings, art books, soundtrack CDs, and maps. Well worth tracking down for fans!

Hey whatever blows your hair back.

I never got into music much, aside from some video game soundtracks. Movies, games, and books—but music just never caught my attention. I’m not a sports guy either, so I grew up watching people so excited for their sports team or their band, but never joined in.

I admit I haven’t played it fully enough to really judge it. I gotta dive in one day and really see what there is to see.

ParadiseRegaind @paradiseregaind.bsky.social · 2d

Thanks, all!

Did you know there was a Dragon Age TTRPG? I got lucky on an eBay listing and picked up this beautiful hardcover for a few bucks.

So sorry. My son is nine… I cannot imagine.

Classic literature at this point!

My wife and I celebrated 13 years of marriage today. Two beautiful kids. A nice house. A wonderful marriage. And bins filled with PC games. I can’t ask for more in life!

Strike Commander could easily take place in the world of RoboCop and I feel like that is nowhere more clear than the original 1991 CES demo presentation. youtu.be/iKjT7JrGDt4?...

Loved the movie when I was younger.

Back before I got married and had a family, I lived another life in Vana’diel. It was so magical at the time. I doubt I could ever go back today, but I’ll never forget the adventures I had back then.
