For those of you following my #diablo4 feed, I've set up a new one for Path of Exile 2! It follows the same pattern, filtering twitch and kick links to prevent spam.

I think the game of figuring out what builds one's drops enable is an element of ARPG design that is often overlooked. PoE2 nails it. I was kinda floundering around on day 1 with witch, and was reading a lot online about how rough the class was. Eventually had a sorc wand drop which...

Some are complaining that Space Marine 2 is a bit short on content, but I feel like this is the amount of content we typically saw in "full price" games before the era of micro transactions (of which, sm2 has none)

Just set up a new feed for space marine 2!

Really proud of how this turned out in the office. @michaelwhelan.bsky.social 's visual anchors are in a realm all their own.

Looks like we are getting the capacity to bind town portal to a specific location in #diabloIV

Pics of the final version of my Diablo IV Lego MOC scene. Pretty happy with the way it came out, other than not having room for one of the wings in it's final location in my office. #lego #legomoc #diablo #diablo4 #diabloiv

Its looking like the "max level reduced to 60" thing might be happening #diabloIV

Sounds like they are also adding a Scroll of Retempering in #diabloIV, which I'm not sure if I'm into. Bricking does feel bad, but I think its an interesting risk/reward system. I hope they are rare.

Whole bunch of #DiabloIV stuff from gamescom. Notably, a new party finder feature (which sounds like it will be available for all content)

I'm stoked for diablo IV's season 4! If you are getting back into the game after a break, I put together a quick primer:

I've been playing off and on for a week, and Embark's "The Finals" is real good. Lots of subtle decisions in how spawn rates work, team composition, and map design paired with solid shooter gameplay... it just feels good to play. (I'm also always a sucker for longer ttk games)

New episode out on the music and sound of the (super cozy) "Cocoon" - this game is from a small team which also worked on Limbo and Inside:

If you are not participate in the reddit ecosystem but still find yourself on the site occasionally, you may or may not know that prepending the domain with "old." will yield the traditional reddit view.

Today I learned that "ol." also works, which I find very charming:

Got some good d4 time in last night to take advantage of the bonus xp. Despite some weird progression decisions and rocky start, I'd forgotten how much I enjoy minute-to-minute gameplay of this game. Say what you will, the combat does feel viscerally good.

Lesser known fact from the original WoW manual. You can find some videos on youtube of fast tauren.

As everyone is tuning in now... I thought I'd post my starfield feed once more:

bsky.app/profile/did:...

should be bunch of starfield posts with some filtering for anything tagged as a spoiler!

I'm really not feeling the vibe the starfield team has taken with it's marketing this far from a musical perspective. The "rocket man" cover and this Image Dragons tune have felt a bit stylistically off, and they both feel very... "on the nose"
