Dragon Age Mark Darrah is currently playing Baldur's Gate 3 (live stream):

Keep in mind he was among people who created the original Baldur's Gate! And there was an awesome video related to this.

New physics engine for #Godot4 – the installation is surprisingly simple, just place it to the add-ons folder and enable. Then change physics engine in the project settings and restart.

Jolt Physics was used in Horizon Forbidden West, for example. In Godot it supports Terrain 3D plugin, so you will be able to use it for open world games.

Intel is panicking: to improve financial reports for the next couple of years the company is shutting down a lot of divisions and services.

Among them goes PC development one and all their legendary NUC mini PC lineup: the last device will be produced in September. And Intel is trying to get rid of all units they still have by contacting partners and asking them to speed up sales.

Some parts of the division were consumed by ASUS who has their plans on portability (including ROG Ally lineup), but it's fascinating that the company was using their own laptops and NUCs to support new GPUs and now it's all gone.

After years of waiting Starfield has gone gold!

The game is already sent to the media for review, but reviews will come out a couple of days prior to the release.

Surprisingly, it's still unclear if there's some annoying DRM or not. And Bethesda refused to comment on that.

🤔 What do you think about Starfield? Let's talk in the comments!

#Modding is fun unless you work on mods so hard that you forget to play the game: a nice video interview with one of the Bethesda games modders:

YouTube is now hiding homepage content for users without active views history. Before they used local and cloud storage and were able to suggest accounts you previously watched even without visible views history.

This will affect millions of bloggers and channels who will no longer receive views from people who forgot to subscribe and even from ones who subscribed. Overall: they will open YouTube and close it back, instead of watching suggested videos.

Bethesda fans are sharing their first impressions of "THAT MOMENT", when the game finally sets you free to explore the open world.

CPU performance of Baldur's Gate 3 is getting worse later in the game and here's why. If you are using Ryzen 3600 or any model with a lower IPC, then you may struggle after reaching the crowded areas.

But the issue is obvious on any CPU, where even the most advanced ones lose 10% of performance.
