Next up in book cover throwbacks is Legends of a Shattered Age, the 2nd book in m rookie trilogy. Of the 3, this one got a complete top to bottom rewrite. I learned the most from rewriting this book. It's an adrenaline rush with some cool characters I had a lot of fun traveling beside.
Been hooked on Crimson Desert for nearly 100 game hours, and yet I still feel like I barely scratched the surface. I'll probably hit a mental wall and golden path the rest of the game at some point, but the exploration and rewards from that have kept me engaged.
Tonight's DPS Podcast has been cancelled. We'll be back next week at our usual time, Thursdays @ 9PM EST. Enjoy your weekend, guys.

Sad day for me.
My role at DICE as Studio Art Director has been eliminated and I’ve been impacted by the layoffs on Battlefield.
I’m very proud of our work on BF6, my team at DICE, and my own impact since joining 3 years ago. I learned a ton, and got to work with amazingly talented people 🙏
I have an ancient e-ink reader(a Nook) but I can definitely use a new one.

Xbox Mode is heading to Windows 11 in "select markets" starting in April to offer PC users a "distinctly Xbox experience." This is the same gamified version of the OS used on the ROG Xbox Ally handheld.
I'm definitely there day one.

Alot of guilty ppl crying foul right now.
First video of the day - my look at Resident Evil Requiem! The visuals are stunning, the best yet delivered by RE Engine, and the PS5 Pro version is, surprisingly, a gigantic leap over the others - more than we've ever seen. Switch 2 video coming later today as well!

I typically avoid games with a card system, but Echo Generation 2 made it work for me. The demo alleviated any concerns I had about that one. Good job, Cococucumber.
