can't wait to have the experience I get when I look at BG3 fan art on Tumblr: enjoying seeing my friends Karlach and Wyll and Lae'zel and getting jump scared by the random stranger they all know who wasn't in my game for some reason
HBO and Craig Mazin are adapting Baldur's Gate 3 for TV to continue the game's story, but developer Larian Studios is seemingly not involved. gameinformer.com/2026/02/06/h...

insisting on calling every mass day of protest or one-day boycott a "general strike" is not the move. it's good to see people rallying around the cause, it matters, but if you want to be part of a large-scale labor action that shuts down the gears of capital, start by unionizing your workplace!!!
