If I still enjoy this game this much by the end of the year, I'm considering getting the 33 tattoo'ed, haha.

Now, let's get back to farming some Lumina, because a couple of minutes ago I hit what is hopefully the last phase of this game's superboss and I wasn't prepared.

Pretty much all of the awards this game got are well deserved. You can argue that this game wasn't "indie" enough, but that word's lost all of it's meaning by now. If it really meant "independent" we would have one or two nominees per year, and Baldurs' Gate 3 should have been one of them last year.

The prologue already made me cry and got me invested to end the "cycle" the story revolves around (so far). Almost all story beats land SO well, it's unreal. It really motivates you to go further, progress more, uncover more mysteries. And it strikes a pretty good balance between serious and silly.

If you're using AI to generate "concept art" and then creating an in-game asset based on what the AI plagiarizes, you're using an AI generated asset.

I would have disagreed a year ago, but I recently rewatched all movies, and I’ve been converted. It’s grown on me.

Mocking AI and its usage/fanatics is good and right, actually

Making jokes about the "hard R" is thinly veiled excuse to reference racist jokes, slurs, and sentiments in an 'acceptable way'

This is not a difficult or subtle difference, it's actually quite blatant and clear

If it’s allocated in the main function, I leave it to the OS to clean up. Everywhere else I don’t trust myself to remember that I don’t reuse the function later and forget that it doesn’t clean up after itself.

By the way, the little learnings and cool moments from someone whos been doing this for as long as you have and is getting back into it now, those would be pretty neat to share 😄

Sick! What's the rule set?

Do it. I'll always pick to be in a more fulfilling job even if it is unstable, rather than being unhappy in a job I can hardly lose. I'm in the former situation right now working in a startup, and I don't regret a thing, even if there's always the looming risk of us going under.
