⚡️Larian wants to pull the same stunt: publishing director Michael Daus framed a note about how Baldur's Gate 3's early access briefly knocked Steam offline.

Peak was 74 thousand in 2020 and shot to 875 thousand at launch. Daus joked he hopes to "completely wreck" that record with the new Divinity. Valve, warm up your servers for the next HYPE WRECK of fan frenzy.

I am really enjoying playing BG3. My Act III Sorcerer is powerful and the playthrough with her has been a lesson in how to level up strategically, but I must admit I keep returning to my Act I Bard, simply because she is such *fun* to play. Bards are very versatile and surprisingly powerful if you play to their strengths and more ability checks seem to work with them first time than other characters. I have her dual wielding two hand crossbows - non magical at this stage of the game - and the damage she can inflict with them is really surprising. And her ability to boost the rest of the party with Longstrider and Bardic Inspiration perks is really important and makes such a difference in combat. I was originally dubious about the Bard, but so far she is my favourite Class to play ☺️

What has everyone been playing?

Hello again! I finally wrapped up *Bluey: The Video Game* with my son, and I am proud to say we collected everything! He really enjoyed visiting all the classic locations from the show. Like I said in a previous post, it’s a little rough around the edges but it does what it sets out to do for the most part and the $40 price... #gaming #video #bluey #baldurs #truegaming
