Had a wonderful time revieiwng the new (free!) DLC for Sea of Stars! And it is made by a Canadian dev based in Quebec: Sabotage Studio!
The #SeaofStars: Throes of the Watchmaker's brings the circus to town with a free admission post-game DLC. Will it change your mind if you weren't all-aboard the base game? Probably not. But it still looks beautiful and plays just as well! 🎪⭐

The current discourse about generative AI really casts the use of the holodeck in Star Trek into a different light. In retrospect, Data and Geordi telling the computer to write new Sherlock Holmes stories is pretty damn close to the Miyazaki memes. It's basically a hyper-advanced plagiarism machine.

I reviewed AC Shadows for RPGFan.com!
It's still foundationally the same as the previous three Assassin's Creed RPG games, but it's definitely the best version they've delivered gameplay-wise.
That said, it's a game of two halves, and Naoe's half is, unfortunately for Yasuke, the far superior one.

#AssassinsCreed games are often a fun trip through major points and places in our world's history, and it's great to finally explore the much-requested Japan! Some simple flaws aside, Shadows is another solid installment in the series.🌸
