#cyberpunk2077

My second-to-last event this year - LET'S GO, WRESTLING IN POLAND NEAR ME

Garry to zloty człowiek i warto go odwiedzać jak jest okazja.

Additionally, art I use for character portraits are ones often shared by artists, with a big caveat that I avoid AI-generated art-pieces like a plague.

So far the biggest MVP is @useless-elf.bsky.social, which character closeups make up like 20% of my entire NPC cast. Go follow them.

Fukushū Rioji - Moodlist - YouTube Moodlist that decided the theme of my ongoing campaign, originally called Edge of Creation - currently named Fukushū Rioji)

As I already once mentioned - I use music and concept arts of different other games and/or movies to set the theme for my D&D campaigns.
So, I've compiled a modlist on YT that should capture the mood and theme. @legpoks.bsky.social could verify if its' true. 👀

9. Following the trend of Final Fantasy stuff, it's a scene from Final Fantasy 14: Endwalker.

This scene had 10 years of buildup, using one of the most recognized OSTs from this game in completely new meaning.

8. Honestly, if I were to really choose I'll choose Final Fantasy 14 but ONLY because of a sheer BANGERS the OST has.

Just listen to this banger.

7. Squall Leonhart and Rinoa Heartilly

6. Orin from Baldur's Gate 3 is my pick. I didn't like interacting with her throughout entire BG3. :-;

5. Game Character You Feel Like - This beautiful man right there. This edgerunner gonk V, mah boy from NC.

4. My guilty pleasure - I don't have guilty pleasures because you shouldn't be ashamed of playing something!

I like modded Skyrim. Sometimes overly modded. Very overly modded. Last time I had 2000 active mods on my modlist.

3. Underrated Game - store.steampowered.com/app/1016800/... - Had so much fun playing Chernobylite is disgusting, I adore the STALKER esthetics and this was my STALKER 2 before STALKER 2.

2. Favourite Character - Emet-Selch from FF14. I absolutely love everything about this guy.

1. First Video Game - I don't remember absolutely anything from it except for the Panther itself.

Why not?

Hit me up with these.

I've just watched GGG Live about Path of Exile 2 Early Access.

Honestly? If it released a bit later we would have a serious contender for a TGA 2025.

WHAT THE FUCK, GGG? THIS IS INCREDIBLE.

Huh. Uuuuuuuh.

Indeed you do, sir.

It is a banger indeed.

Help.

It's all @rtgame.bsky.social fault - I've watched his video about MTG: Foundations with a tutorial match and I am extremely tempted to swipe for that starter pack.

And then I have my friend CTSG who plays Lorcana who also indirectly indoctrinates me by sheer mentioning it.

My wallet cries.

Raczej nie inaczej.

Personalnie nie zgadzam sie z duża ilością nominacji w tym roku (czysto subiektywnie).

Infinite Wealth got robbed, powinno być w dyskursie o gre roku. Best Ongoing nie ma realnego contendera za wyjatkiem Fortnite'a bo tytuły co mogłyby stanać w szranki nie dostały nominacji nawet.

Did my voting round for TGA, as almost every year.
I do believe that, while Elden Ring DLC is noteworthy, it did not enjoy it as much as other titles, that's why it's not voted by me in any category.

ASTRO BOT is one hell of an accomplishment though and I will always sing praises about it.

Powiem szczerze, że odpalilem ten tryb z ciekawości jak on wychodził i te koty mnie bardziej przerażały niż pająki.

Środek nocy i słychać miauczenie ale nie wiesz skąd aż cie nie zaczyna gryźć po kostkach.

I guess it's time for the first *beep* on this platform. 🤔

So we'll start with what I love most and that is #TTRPG.

The second session after the Reunion and almost six years of time skip. Our own ‘Vox Machina’ of this universe.

Our gang, called "Wyzwoleni" (To translate it: "Liberated") is made of a Tiefling Bard (previously Swords, now Valor), Yuan-Ti Monk, Dhampir Sorceress and Dwarf Paladin.

Now they are reunited to deal with incoming threat of Tiamat invading the mortal realm. Yay, we're f***ed.

While most of the time in a past year I'm a DM of a D&D campaign, the gang from the previous one is back in action as our DM and world creator (as I'm using his world as a setting) wanted to make a new campaign using our universe equivalent of "Vox Machina".

Meet Maladius, my Tiefling Bard.

Half-Life 2 Anniversary Update Experience Half-Life 2 all over again, with a brand-new commentary mode, improved graphics and gameplay options, Steam Workshop support, and more. We're also bringing back the art book, and have a new...

Most notably - Half-Life 2 and Episodes are free for limited time AND they're now a one product - you can seamlessly go from Half-Life 2 to Episode One and Two from a single game.

Half-Life series was one of those games that made me who I am today professionally. I've played them as a kid and I still have fond memories from entire Valves' catalogue.

I still hope that someday we will have a conclusion to Gordon Freemans' story, especially post-HL Alyx.

YouTube video by Valve Half-Life 2: 20th Anniversary Documentary

Oh. My. God. I love you Valve.

They've just released a 20th anniversary update to Half-Life 2 AND a 2 hour documentary and a bunch of lost media demo videos from E3 2002, E3 2003 and SIGGRAPH 2000.

This is incredible and I'll always praise Valve for stuff like this.

Oh I feel you.
The moment I've started my BSKy account I had to mute my notifications on a phone from constant "followed back" or "followed" spam.

But hey, found you here so at least I've spammed your notifications. 👀
