Realised I don't have a pin, so I'm Riley, that genderfluid trans woman who everyone likes. You can also find me at rileyisclass.tumblr.com and on twitter with the same @.

But doubt anyone is going from here to there.

The Banshees of Inisherin.

What wonderfully bitter true to life feeling emotions.

what’s the best movie ending of the decade so far?

Ziets wanted to, the souls get out and have to go on the run, with Kelemvor likely attempting to start rebuilding the wall.

Wizards of the Coast said no.

Either them or Atari also shot down Gann and Safiya being bisexual and same sex love interesting despite them both still being written like it.

This playthrough Evrart Claire in Disco Elysium is reminding me of Anderson Dawes from The Expanse

Is he a shady crime boss the cop protagonist has to deal with? Yes

Is he a charismatic revolutionary who wants to forward the interests of the working class? Also yes

I like 'em

Anytime Square Enix business stuff is in the news I just remember how they sold Tomb Raider and Deus Ex for NFTs.

He wrote for it, but yeah is more George Ziets baby than anyone

Looking at the other games that core team would work and in what capacity is interesting. Like Ziets was lead on Wasteland 3. Kevin Saunders lead on Tides of Numenera. Jeff Husges and Eric Fenstermaker lots of the stand out stuff in NV

So far I've found that 1) Everything is so interesting to her, no end of curiosity, wanting to smell, taste, see everything. 2) Boy, she didn't leave that desire to climb at the tree.

Was literally rescuing a cat from a tree at work this morning. Which of course became my entire day.

Sony give games the most roll off your brain titles.
"Horizon: Zero Dawn"
"Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet"
You could put all of those words in any order and it'd mean the same to me.

MotB rules, genuinely fantastic.

But I think it's the trial that would have stood out from base NVN2. I don't think that baby is worth all the bathwater of campaign and hate how it still goes combat. But it was the most notable part.

And clearly followed up on in Tyranny having a climatic trial.

Have seen exactly one (1) person say they dislike rolling in BG3. They don't like seeing a roll and also want flat "You Win/Lose."

They were wrong, obviously. Hating the sensation of rolling bones is like disliking the purr of a cat.

The joy of making a clutch roll in a group is wonderful.

CRPGs spent a lot of time abstracting non-combat rolls, tabletop origins. Not even seeing percentages or being told rolls happen

So I like how much success Disco Elysium & BG3 had doing the opposite. Being transparent, people love seeing/hearing dice roll and knowing modifiers

Day 1 as Pysche/Physique Superstar Hustler Cop. So far I have punched Cuno and roundhouse kicked Measurehead.

Violence has a bright future for Detective Raphaël Ambrosius Costeau.

It matters because he's Minister of Justice. Every outlet reporting was quoting him saying fireworks started a fire.

And throwing fireworks throw a window to harass residents is bad. And can start a fire, sparks light up curtains.

Pouring petrol on the stairs and lighting it is much worse, right?

Haven't seen any outlet throw it at him yet, but really hoping journalists start asking Jim O'Callaghan why he said arson attack on immigrant housing was caused by people throwing fireworks.

An Gardaí, the victims and the video footage don't show that. Where is he pulling this huge downplay from?

Making a Disco Elysium character who's all into psyche, physique and grinding for that reál.

My man would have been a great podcaster selling fitness supplements.

90% of everyone in the world in my CK3 game are suddenly holding sticks. Men, women, children, even the dead.

All the baseball energy on here has reverberated and traveled backwards through time. Not only will everyone be talking about the sport, but everywhen.

You shed actual tears playing Fallout 4 for the first time, seeing the beauty of the Green Monster still protecting people.

Your favorite part of a Yakuza game was with some guy who like, was meant to throw a game and didn't or something? You remember him in Yakuza 5. Jesus that game is long.

Muat be so annoying writing an article and then the website wants to start out with an AI summary at the top.

Hey, we thought we'd increase engagement by encouraging people to not read anything you write.

Wonder how much British politicians are scared of talking about the country as a good hub for Video Game development, that they're proud of the industry and want it to grow because it would involve breaking the taboo of saying they think Grand Theft Auto existing is good.
