Nice!! Some of them have downsides I’m not sure I want on my first playthrough, but I’m kinda tempted by the family one - would be cool to see how well their face generated parents match my character, and by the endgame I’ll proooobably have more money than I know what to do with, anyway.
Haha, I’m also very tempted by the jumping trait – mostly cause if it’s anything like No Man Sky’s jump, I’ll be doing it all the time anyway!
Looks basically as expected from the official trailers! Cool to see more backgrounds; I think I’m going to go with Explorer but it’s gonna be hard to choose.
I have a personal Discord server that I drop links into - fully intending to get them out of Discord and into my notes someday, though let’s just say I’m quite behind on that.
Mostly I find it useful because I can drop a link on from my phone and quickly access it from my PC, or vice versa. There is some organization into channel types (food, music, games, etc) but these days I just use a general channel as a dumping ground and figure I’ll sort later, ha.
This is it right here, at least for me personally. I’m a huge Dragon Age fan (played through DAO and DA2 before Inquisition’s release) who has always been vaguely interested in Larian’s Divinity Original Sin games but never made them a priority in my backlog. Seeing the cinematic cutscenes and the 3rd-person voice acted dialog for BG3 made me immediately interested and now I’m 10-ish hours deep into Baldur’s Gate and loving it!
Also slowly resigning myself to DA4 not even coming close to matching BG3 in quality given the circumstances of its development.
I’ve had good success using it to write Python scripts for me. They’re simple enough I would be able to write them myself, but it would take a lot of time searching and reading StackOverflow/library docs/etc since I’m an amateur and not a pro. GPT lets me spend more time actually doing the things I need the scripts for.
Cool lockscreen! Where’s it from?
what pen? :)
I’m curious, how are you discovering new music this way? my understanding of soulseek and nicotine+ is that they’re great for finding music by artists you already know, but idk how they would work for discovery..?
sick! do you think you’ll ever print these physically? I’d love to pick up a copy if you ever do. :)

A closer look at the slide in the recent direct that breaks down all ship parts that can be used to construct a spaceship.
I think most of them are self-explanatory, but I wonder what the distinction between grav drives, engines, and reactors is, and what exactly fuel tanks affect.
I also wonder how cargo capacity manifests, and if there's cargo that we can't carry on our person but only on our ships. It would be a bit silly if we could carry tons of ore in our spacesuits to our ship, so having some way to transfer directly from outpost resource collectors to our ships would make sense to me.
I noticed that there are "advanced skills" (green bar) and "expert skills" (blue bar) - I'm guessing the last bar is "legendary skills". Advanced skills might unlock after spending 4 skill points in the tree, while unlocking Expert skills seems to require somewhere between 7, 8, or 10 skill points. I wonder if ranking up skills might reduce the number of skill points needed to unlock Advanced/Expert/Legendary skills?
Discussion: What skills are you most excited about? What do you think the un-labeled skills will do? How do you feel about the new skill challenges as the way to gain ranks within skills? Are you going to focus on combat skills or non-combat skills or a mix?

Oh. my. god. This is such amazing news!! Chesko was an amazing modder, and economy design was one of the often-changed areas of Skyrim, so to hear that he had a hand in Starfield’s economy is incredibly exciting to me.
