I'm not waiting 5 years for everyone to realize The Outer Worlds 2 is another Obsidian classic—I'm giving it its flowers now

The Outer Worlds 2 lead says his RPG isn't a critique of capitalism, but Baldur's Gate 3's publishing lead isn't so sure: "Expression in video games is cooked"

The Outer Worlds 2 director doesn't want games to be "preachy," but the RPG's capitalist satire strikes a nerve "because this thing happens all the damn time, and we're just seeing it over and over on a loop"

This is your daily reminder that Microsoft is subject to a BDS boycott due to its active support of the IDF during the genocide in Palestine via Microsoft Azure & AI services. Microsoft has additionally actively tried to purge pro-Palestinian dissent among its employees and has repeatedly fired people for objecting to its complicity in genocide. If you support Microsoft (or its products) with your money or with your voice, your supporting is helping to enable genocide.

In September of this year, Microsoft (allegedly) cut off Microsoft Azure access for a unit of the IDF that was using it for mass surveillance of Palestinians. This is a major victory, but Microsoft is still doing business with the IDF as a whole and is thus still complicit in genocide.

This boycott targets most of Microsoft's products and services, including the entirety of Microsoft's gaming division. This means every company owned by Microsoft - and unfortunately, that is a lot.

Popular developers owned by Microsoft include ID software, Bethesda, Activision Blizzard, Obsidian Entertainment, Double Fine, and Mojang.

Popular & upcoming games included in this boycott are Overwatch 2, Minecraft, Doom: The Dark Ages, the Oblivion Remake, The Outer Worlds 2, the Elder Scrolls Online, every Call of Duty game, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4, the Forza series, and more.

If you aren't willing to stop playing these games, please consider at least not spending any money on them and not amplifying them on social media. It sucks, I know. I have been a huge fan of ID software and Bethesda for much of my life. But they will still be here in a few years, whereas if we do not do everything in our power stop the genocide in Palestine, Palestine may not.

I completed Outer Worlds 2 this morning after about 26 1/2 hours.

Super fun game with so much stuff to do. Very similar to the first one, but improved compared to the first one as well.

Definitely a game and a series I highly recommend.

Playing through The Outer Worlds finally after seeing the new one in action (not that it matters, will kinda run like arse on my desktop) and had to dump ~45 min of gameplay as I hadn't made a save in a while or before making a potentially big decision. I had some quests that got *bugged* as in they weren't botched, but everyone in that group was SUUUUPER hostile and only responded with glorious gibs as I had to now them down.

I'm kinda bummed because I found a REALLY cool scythe (I'm a sucker for 'em) and I don't think I'll be able to get it again as it might involve some violence against a group that I'm trying to work for.
