I've been surprised at how friendly everyone has been in Arc Raiders so far.
Might be a low level, solo queue phenomenon, but everyone I've met seems happy to get along, laugh and share. It's felt like everyone against the robots.
Very different vibe to the Server Slam a few weeks ago. #ArcRaiders

Holy shit, how did Aspyr manage to make Deus Ex look worse than it did on release?
If you're going to spend the time remaking all the art assets for a 26 year old game, at least make sure they actually look half decent. I can only assume that AI was used heavily to churn out this low effort slop.

This is still probably one of my favourites from a few years ago. Ships are really fun to draw.

Very upset that the pen for my drawing tablet has just 'disappeared'. Was on my desk a few days ago, but no longer. Perchance a cat is involved..
I really don't want to buy a replacement when I know it must be somewhere in the house, but I need to draw more maps and characters for my DnD campaign!

Oh no, I started yet another Baldur's Gate 1 playthrough with the idea being to continue the same character into BG2.
Playing on Core Rules difficulty, 2 days in and I've already taken down Davaeorn in the Cloakwoods mines and reached the city...

The players for my DnD campaign immediately connected to a random sad guy they met in an inn, and now apparently my entire story is pivoting to help Wimpothy get over his ex boyfriend... So he needed a new token in case they decide to kidnap him and take him with them on their mission...

Fun fact!
Our earliest surviving written records are Cuneiform tablets from Uruk around 3,200 BCE. Which means that if you're older than 52 then you've been alive for more than 1% of all written history.

So Peter Dutton lost the election so hard that he lost his own seat, the party leadership, and now the entire Liberal-National Coalition. That partnership stood for close to a century, it's almost impressive how much the Libs have been so utterly destroyed.

Another map, this time one that's actually built to a grid at a reasonable scale so I can use it as a placement map. In case one of my PCs decides to start throwing down...
