    This is Baldur’s Great news.

    Long ago, I wrote about Baldur’s Gate 3’s character creator. I liked it a lot, yet I wondered if it was also possible for developers to consider, in addition to adding things like diverse hairstyles and skin colors, to add other diversity options like religious headwear, diverse body types, and vitiligo skin pigmentation.

    I don’t play World of Warcraft.

    And that’s because I’m playing Hello Kitty Island Adventure which comes out today on Apple Arcade. Hang out with Dear Daniel, Hello Kitty, and more of your Sanrio friends on a tropical island which more than beats killing boars in Elwynn Forest.

To promote Mutant Mayhem, they brought back Jonathan, the now grown kid who became an instant meme for his love of the shelled reptiles — zombie face paint and all.
