The latest episode of Gnosia was incredibly hilarious! I haven't laughed that hard with an anime in a long time.😂

It's a light episode in regards to tone, which is refreshing.

I'm surprised how many people are surprised at this (Linus too).

Valve says on the steam page that this is a PC in the promotional material on the Steam Page

Valve reportedly says the Steam Machine will be priced 'like a PC' instead of a console 🎮

So we're on the Gundam SEED timeline. Didn't expect that 😐

Another gaming one:

I think members in the JRPG community should play more WRPGs. Several of them have the stuff that JRPG fans want from the bigger franchises.

"I wish modern FF had classes again".

You should check out Divinity Original Sin 2 or Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader.

Got a few gaming ones.

BG3 was able to lift all ships (i.e., get more people check out other CRPGs) because that genre's space welcomed newcomers in and helped guide them to other titles.

Expedition 33 didn't because of how the JRPG community operate (mostly with the big titles)
