Baldur’s Gate 3 continues to reign as one of greatest RPGs of all time. Even at full price we called it gaming’s best deal — something you can easily spend hundreds of hours playing and still have more to see after multiple playthroughs. The game has further evolved since its release with a number of free, content-rich updates, including this week’s Patch 7 that added new evil endings, an in-game mod manager, and revamped split screen gameplay.

It's been 35 years since the original Baywatch TV series premiered on NBC in the 1989-1990 season. One year later, it was syndicated and became one of the most popular TV shows on the planet. The show's original cast included David Hasselhoff, who stayed with the series through its entire run. During that time, he was joined by other actors, including (but not limited to) Pamela Anderson, Alexandra Paul, and Jason Simmon. At the time, Simmons, who is gay, was in the closet.

Fortnite is a “dead game,” League of Legends is a “dead game,” Overwatch 2 is a “dead game” — at least, that’s what people online sometimes say. Despite people playing the games and developers supporting them, the long-running meme is commonplace in gaming, used to mock (both a game and the people that call the game a dead game), insult, or to just be plain silly — very rarely is a game actually dead. Concord is an exception.

Mortal Kombat 1’s upcoming expansion Khaos Reigns will include a re-imagined Sektor, thanks to Fire God Liu Kang’s timeline meddling. She’s still a Lin Kuei devotee, and now very tight with Sub-Zero, but less of a classic cyborg and more of an armor-clad warrior. And as Sektor’s first gameplay trailer reveals, she’s basically Iron Man, except much more sadistic, as Mortal Kombat characters tend to be.

Overwhelm is a word I often hear folks say regarding decluttering. Decluttering does not have to be overwhelming. When you Declutter For Life the process is not stressful.
