Baldur's Gate 3 is a massive game, which makes for a wonderful experience filled with unexpected story beats. Unfortunately, this also means there are some bugs that are still kicking about, even after several patches.
A lot of them have been squashed, and Larian's blistering pace has given us a whole new epilogue among other quality of life improvements: but some traces remain. One such bug is a hilarious interaction with Freecast, one of the illithid abilities obtained from chowing down on some brain worms. Minor Act 3 spoilers to follow.
Freecast is a toggleable passive that causes your next action to be (you guessed it) cast for free. No action cost, no bonus action cost, no spell slot expenditure, nada. It's a powerful gift from your wormy roommate.
It's also been bugged for several patches now. According to the tooltip, Freecast refreshes on a Long Rest. However, there are a lot of weird ways to refresh it. As someone who abstained from the power of the worm during my first playthrough, I had no idea—but a recent example on the game's subreddit tipped me off.
Ant_of_Doom uses the Idol of Silvanus you can nick from the druid grove in Act 1. This item grants an aura that provides proficiency in the Animal Handling and Nature skills. Inexplicably, it also refreshes Freecast if it's been used.
However, swiping the idol has some severe story consequences. After doing some digging, I also discovered that there's another known way to trigger this exploit: taking off your underpants. Turns out, equipping or unequipping any item on your character will refresh Freecast. Here's some video evidence of it working on the current patch with my paladin boy:
The only caveat? Freecast is a partial-illithid power. You can only get it if you turn your painstakingly-crafted character into a failed goth with too much eyeshadow and rotten teeth. It also takes an action to equip or unequip an item like this in combat: so you won't be able to refresh Freecast in the middle of battle.
Still, this is an incredibly powerful way to apply buff spells like Aid, Heroes' Feast, and Death Ward scott-free. Gale's perusal of the Netherese Orb was all for naught—it turns out that the true secret to arcane power is to scarf down some worms, then take off your underpants (or a ring, if you're boring).

Palworld players are discovering glitches and exploits aplenty in early access, one of which lets you "get high off your balls" in a very literal sense.
Almost anything can happen in the untamed open world of Red Dead Redemption 2, including Arthur flying through the air like the God of Thunder himself thanks to a strange glitch. Just like Rockstar’s various Grand Theft Auto titles, Red Dead Redemption 2 allows players to distract themselves from the story of outlaw Arthur Morgan to engage in all kinds of entertaining side activities like hunting animals for their pelts and tracking down dangerous criminals for a hefty bounty. This in turn can open the door to wild and unexpected moments, such as one unlucky player being chased off a cliff by an angry bear.
A developer on Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown has revealed that they want to make a Legend of Zelda spin-off, which doesn't seem too far-fetched considering Nintendo and Ubisoft's previous collaborations.
With almost half of the world's population heading to the polls in a national election in 2024, leaders at the World Economic Forum are grappling with how the arrival of ChatGPT will affect these democracies — and how governments will in turn regulate AI. Leaders in artificial intelligence including OpenAI's Sam Altman and Microsoft Corp. founder Bill Gates weighed in this week at Davos, the gilded annual conference where billionaires hold forth on global problems. While all said they took the threat of artificial intelligence on elections seriously, there was a split in whether they thought major disruption was likely.Microsoft Corp. Chief Executive Officer Satya Nadella somewhat downplayed the risks. “It's not like this is the first election where disinformation, or misinformation, and election interference is going to be a real challenge that we all have to tackle,” he said, speaking at Bloomberg House at Davos on Tuesday.

There are many easy-to-miss quests and events to see in the first Act of , which may require a checklist to keep track of things.
