One Clever Baldur's Gate 3 Decision Can Turn Enemies Into Lovers

A new Inside the Game trailer for Diablo 4 Season 3 and an interview from PC Gamer unveiled some new details about the upcoming seasonal mechanic. Both sources combined showcase 3 of the 12 Governing Stones and 7 of the 27 Tuning Stones (including one of the 2 elusive Uber Uniques) coming in Season 3 at various levels — check out the tooltips down below! All Governing and Tuning Stones in Season 3 What Are Seneschal Companions?Based on the video footage, we can also assume the following regarding Governing and Tuning Stones in Diablo 4 Season 3:

Take the little boy with lancing white eyes from Playdead's Limbo, ruthlessly clone him a few dozen times (an extremely Playdead thing to do) and herd all the clones into a world redolent of Klei's Don't Starve, and you have something like The Tribe Must Survive. Developed by apparent Macbeth fans Walking Tree Games GmbH, and published by Starbreeze, it's a heavily horror-themed tribe management sim with a roguelike campaign loop, set in what the developers are calling the "Lovecraftian Stone Age", with flagrant disregard for my nerves. Does the Lovecraftian Stone Age feature any actual walking trees? We'll find out on February 22nd, when the game launches into early access.

As we level our new characters in Season 3 of Diablo 4, Season of The Construct, we will be gaining the boon of some powerful new Seasonal Blessings! These new Blessings will be of great use to us all throughout the season. Diablo 4 Season of The Construct Revealed All Governing and Tuning Stones in Season 3 The new Seasonal Blessings are focused on both loot and utility, increasing Shrine buff durations, chances to get Greater Collections from Whispers, and improving overall drops of Tuning Stones from Wardwoven Chests, part of the new Season 3 mechanic.Urn of Enduring Grace:

In Diablo 4's Season 3, Season of the Constructs, players will have to fight off mechanical monstrosities created by the demon Malphas, who got in control of a machination called the Loom, which was once created by the mighty horadrim Zoltun Kulle. We have learned that the evil constructs will appear not only in seasonal dungeons called Vaults but also during Arcane Tremors — but what exactly are those? Seneschal Companions — New Season Mechanic All Governing and Tuning Stones in Season 3 In Diablo 4 Season 3, Arcane Tremors are seasonal open-world events that will spawn all over Sanctuary. Blizzard's season announcement states that some underground constructs will emerge from their vaults and try to spread terror throughout the overworld:

The number of potential player actions that Baldur's Gate 3 accounts for is one part of what makes it such a special RPG, but players have finally found something that it looks like Larian didn't expect them to do: use Gale's corpse as a remote explosive.

Stepping away from the constraints of corporate life and into the farms in Stardew Valley should be a meditative, healing experience - unless you mistake the shipping container for a chest, in which case the game takes a horror turn as you lose the most valuable possessions. 

There's no shortage of ways to get the edge in combat, but one of the easiest to use is also one of the easiest to forget about. With long lists of spells and items to wrangle, it doesn't take much for tools kept in the recess of an inventory to slip the mind. In more difficult encounters, however, wasting anything that could be used without repercussions can hand the victory to the enemy for no reason at all.

Wizards are better than Sorcerers in Baldur's Gate 3 for one simple reason: they're weirder. Vaporizing enemies with the power of the elements is fun and all, but when it comes to magic in RPGs, I increasingly find myself hungry for off-beat approaches to thaumaturgic tactics. Enter Dragon's Dogma 2, which, to the surprise of no one, has applied its inimitable brand of cool nonsense to magicians and come up with solid gold: a Trickster class that can taunt enemies straight off cliffs. 

In a follow-up statement to recent comments regarding uncomfortable behavior from Marvel's Spider-Man fans, Stephanie Tyler Jones, the capture model for Mary Jane Watson (MJ) in Insomniac's superhero series, affirms that she'll remain open to playing the role "as long as the game creators will have me."

With an adoring fanbase to dote on him, Baldur’s Gate 3‘s Astarion has been the source of inspiration for countless memes, fan art, and even catchy mash-up names like Goosetarion. We have Neil Newbon himself to thank for that one.

Over at CES 2024 I was handed a couple hours to do with as I pleased with an MSI Prestige 16 laptop. On the surface, that might not sound too exciting for a PC gamer, as the Prestige line isn't explicitly built for gaming, but this laptop had inside it Intel's latest Core Ultra 165H processor. That's a 55W version of Meteor Lake with six P-cores, eight E-cores, two Low Power E-cores, and eight Xe-cores—a whole lot for a small mobile chip.

One of my most-anticipated management sims has completed its Kickstarter campaign, but there are still a couple of days left to help it reach its stretch goals.
