A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one!

In fairness, games are still something I’m willing to pay for and books. I think probably because Kindle and Steam are better user experiences than pirating those.

I used to have a moral objection to piracy, I thought that if a piece of media is good enough that I enjoy it then the people that made it deserve to be paid for their work.

I’m increasingly of the opinion that even if I do pay for something there is no guarantee that the people that worked on it will get their fair share and paying for media is increasingly a worse user experience than piracy.

In my campaign the party came across a magic item seller who had two juvenile mimics in a terrarium in his shop. This is now canon for how he met his first mimic.

It was to tell the reader that the mimic got out too. The same jagged seams as the first time it became a blanket

I turned down a few graphic settings but honestly thoughly playable. Looking forward to performance patches so I can turn some of the eye candy back on

I’m enjoying it. I’ve remembered that I’m terrible at building cities, but I’m having fun while coming to that realization again! Performance is mid 50fps with about 5000 people at 1080p with a 2080 super and a ryzen 3600x.

Sex ambivalent ace here, it has been pretty jarring each time a companion hit on my character. It does ask you if you are ok with sexual content and nudity when you first start. I said yes to both because it doesn’t usually bother me in most media but maybe being a roleplaying game I feel more connected to the character.
