I'm still completely hooked on Baldur's Gate 3, the first time for a while I've been properly firmly sucked into a game and it's set to get some big updates too. Thanks to Valve's effort with Proton, it's working fantastically on desktop Linux and could easily be my GOTY - it's going to take a lot to top this.
You can see my initial release article here, plus the article about it now being Steam Deck Verified — although for Steam Deck you'll really want to wait for September to get the FSR 2.2 upgrade.
So what do Larian have cooking? A lot by the sounds of it.
Firstly, in reply to someone on X (formerly Twitter) asking about changing your custom character during the game Larian's Director of Publishing said "Things are being cooked", so you might eventually be able to re-do your look. Sure would be nice, there's a few things I completely missed when making mine.
The latest is from Larian's Founder and CEO, Swen Vincke, who mentioned a little teaser about upcoming updates: "We're all very enthused by your feedback. It's very rewarding. Our focus now is fixing any issues you report, but we are listening to suggestions. Current roadmap: a) Hotfix 4, b) Patch 1 (+1000 fixes and tweaks), c) Patch 2. The latter will already incorporate some requests."
You can buy Baldur's Gate 3 on Steam and GOG.

Quoting: ziabiceThe game's great, but they should fix the inventory (is a complete mess, seems one from a game in the '90), the font size of the UI and they should let me see the cards/stats of every member of my party, even the ones which are in my camp, so I can decide what items or enhancements are best suited for them.
Totally, and I would add to that list being able to swap party members without having to remove one and then add another.
With that said, I expected the game to be more bugged but looks like that the Early Access approach was worth it (at least in my experience)

It happened just last month, apparently. Loosing billions in brand value in the process, of course...

I feel corporations are hijacking our language. E.g. I frequently have to clarify what I mean or play around with context when using the words ex, meta, or apple. I am forced to think about those brands orders of magnitude more than I would otherwise. The trick is working. I much prefer names like Facebook, SpaceX, Microsoft, Starbucks, Nestle, or Mazda. I hope I EU will have some regulations about brand names one day...
