Fuck me what a horrifying/exciting time to be a computer science student. I feel like I’m either going to be obsolete by the time I’m handed a degree or my job will basically be doodling and asking a robot butler to do everything for me.
In a fit of nostalgia I bought Yugioh: Legacy of the Duelist: Link Evolution. I watched the original show as a kid and played the game at recess, but never went any further than that. The game was on sale for a couple bucks on steam.
I gotta say, this is a great amount of content for the price (again, I bought it for like 5 bucks). You can play through the show’s storyline (every season) with all of their dumb little decks, and after every duel, you unlock a “reverse duel” where you can do the same fight but from the antagonist’s perspective. If you complete all of the duels involving a particular character, you unlock their “challenge duel” where they use a themed meta deck with actual combos and interesting win conditions. Because this game has every season of the TV show, there’s at least a hundred different characters you can fight like this. Every time you win a duel you get some of your opponent’s cards and money to make your own custom deck. The online is dead though, which is fine, I’m just playing this to relive my childhood watching the show.
I’ve been kinda hooked, even though I haven’t been a Yugioh fan since 4th grade. I feel like a kid again. I just wish the Pokemon TCG or Magic: the Gathering had a modern game with a story mode like this.
I really wish Baldur’s Gate 3 had a shared party inventory. It’s already partway there, I can still move a potion from Astarion’s inventory to Shadowheart’s inventory now matter how far apart they are. It’d just be nice if I could save a few minutes of inventory sorting if everyone just pulled from one mega inventory that added everyone’s encumberence together. The way its implemented now just adds several unneccessary steps that don’t even matter because of the magic pocket system.

Right? BG3 seems like it’s going to be a gateway game into more CRPGs for me. I think I’ll try my best to enjoy Divinity OS 2 afterwards as well, but I think my problem with that game is more about the unbalanced, nonexistent class structure and random difficulty spikes rather than the genre, which BG3 fixed by using tried and true D&D rules. But maybe I’ll see it from a different angle and appreciate it more.

Starfield and Baldur's Gate 3 both weigh the player down with encumbrance. Love it or hate it, it seems like it's here to stay.
