Dave the Diver's next DLC may not stick to sushi, but its underwater croc fights and jungle exploration have my attention

Dave The Diver took over my PC around Christmas in 2023. I found Mintrocket's wonderfully charming restaurant manager/ocean explorer a joy to flipper around the depths of, battling big fish, discovering ancient civilisations, and then returning to the surface to do some sushi waitering. I've honestly not thought about returning in a while, but the fresh look the devs have just offered at their upcoming In the Jungle DLC has me very much pencilling one in. Read more

I may not achieve the ultimate goose shagging climax by Christmas, because my vomit children aren't earning enough billions

A platoon of Tingi, strange mutant babies that a goose with a very long neck keeps vomiting out, march along in Santa hats. As they crawl, fall, and drop into drinks which serve as orange-hued progenating pools where they merge with others to form bigger tingi, they earn money.

But Tempest Rising is not C&C again. Even though I've summarised it as such in a few emails, given the clear similarity of its design and setting. It feels more like an original work made wi

Larian announce plans to let folks ask anything about their generative AI use, asserting "a lot has become lost in translation"

Larian hope to offer "more insight" into their usage of generative AI via an ask me anything session set to take place in the new year. It'll also be a chance to ask more general questions about Divinity, if you fancy. Naturally, this all comes after the Geoff announcement of the Baldur's Gate 3 devs' next RPG was swiftly followed by comments from CEO Swen Vincke which revealed the studio are making limited use of generative AI.
