This is the Kickstarter for The Wayward Realms, being made by 3 of the original team behind The Elder Scrolls 1 and 2, Arena and Daggerfall! I'm excited for this one! :)

I literally didn't know there was a difference between "k" and "ok" in text-meaning until this moment, and I feel a bit ill about it.

I've been waiting to captain a Bethesda starship since the Designer's Note in The Elder Scrolls: Arena back in '94... a little more time to make it even more amazing will just make it all that much better! Thank you, Bethesda! Thank you for your worlds, your multiverse! 😺

An update on Redfall and Starfield.
We’ve made the decision to delay the launches of Redfall and Starfield to the first half of 2023. The teams at Arkane Austin (Redfall) and Bethesda Game Studios (Starfield) have incredible ambitions for their games, and we want to ensure that you receive the best, most polished versions of them. We want to thank everyone for their excitement for Redfall and Starfield. That energy is a huge part of what inspires all of us every day and drives our own excitement for what we are creating. We can’t wait to share our first deep dive into the gameplay for both Redfall and Starfield soon. Thank you for your support.

Except, from her posts, she asked her coworker what he was paid, not her boss. Her right to ask her coworker is protected, and that, as far as I can see, is what this is about.

"Ultima is well-known in the gaming community, and for good reason. The original helped define the computer role-playing genre when it was released in 1989. Later games also added features that you can still find in RPGs today."

Underworld had all the trappings of any prior story-driven CRPG — inventory, skill points, NPCs, conversations… but its realtime first-person view, and object physics, took immersion to new levels. We hadn't seen anything like it. (Dragon Magazine, Nov 1992)

This week (we’re not sure about the exact date, but it’s likely today) is the thirtieth anniversary of the debut of a game whose commercial success (though respectable for the time) is far outweighed by its influence, still felt three decades later. 👇👇👇

Back to YouTube & DOS2 music claims... @larianstudios & @Cromwelp are on the case, & one of the two claims against my video has been dropped. The second, however, the one I disputed, remains. But wait! There's an "Appeals" process! To the same people who denied the dispute!

What's more? The creator assumes all the risk! Whether I have actual permission or not, if the "claimant" decides my "appeal" is not to their liking, I can get a copyright strike! What proof doth claimant need to claim? "I said so." It's amazing this system isn't abused. /s

Let's continue the saga of Divinity: Original Sin 2's music... Believe Music (aka Merlin) has decided that they have a true copyright claim against my video & denied my dispute (my claim that @larianstudios actually did give permission for videos to be made of game & music).

This video's seen a grand total of 66 views over the last 28 days. One of two things is happening: 1. They're testing their claim against a small channel to see how far they can push... or... 2. They're rolling out a new search for DOS2 music and I'm just one of the first hit.

I'm tired. I'm battered. Maybe I just make a great target for "Believe" right now. The odds are they just don't care. I've tried to dispute their claims, but, they're the judge and jury. So I'll be the executioner. I'll just take down the video. Nothing else to do.
