I AM DELIGHTED TO SEE ANOTHER FELLOW HUMAN HERE. ALL OF THESE OTHER COMMENTS ARE HARMING MY AUDIO SENSORS EARS.


I hope it expands the endgame content, since that’s the only thing I think Grim Dawn is lacking. It’s the only ARPG where I’ve gotten a character to lvl 100. Overall, a dynamite game.



Pretty sure the official rules have killed off the idea of the peasant rail gun. Now a barb raging before impact to halve falling damage, or doing the same thing with a Moon druid in 5e, that’s just exploiting the rules.


It really does get pretty trippy. I’ve been working through the secrets to unlock all the other characters. Some of them are pretty funny, others have curious quirks.



Umm, excuse me, but I believe you’re missing a “start” and/or “select.” pushes glasses up nose


There’s only one thing I would alter in your statement. You said:

…and to focus on shareholder profits over making a good product.

I would say, "and to focus on shareholder profits over making a good product anything else, including life itself.

It’s more profitable for a health insurance company to deny someone’s claim than to pay for their healthcare in the US. The insurance company won’t care if that ultimately leads to the person’s death - they have to answer to their shareholders.

It’s more profitable for Nestlé or Google to siphon water from countries in the global South than it is to have sustainable practices that don’t exacerbate climate change. So what if that means that millions of people will die in the years to come? That’s their problem for being poor.

We need to bring about the kind of change that has politicians recognize that there is more to human life than a dollar amount, and that poverty is not a moral failing on the part of the individual. But until that happens, poverty is akin to a death sentence.


This is like saying, “people need air to breathe.” The fact this is a revelation to gaming studios is deeply concerning.

I played some when it was in early access, and I’ve been absolutely loving BG3 now that it’s officially released. I haven’t felt like this about a game in a long time, and it’s probably because Larian studios treated this like Divinity Original Sin - a complete game with loving care. As I saw in another review, they didn’t make a D&D game, they just made D&D.


Any film made by Christopher Guest and Wes Anderson. Every one of them are gems.


I composed a choral piece away from a piano at a coffee shop years ago. What I’m most proud of is that the voice leading works really well, and yet the chords are quite interesting. It also helps that I’m a professional musician, but I get a little thrill when I get to conduct or perform that piece.
