Because apparently, we haven’t suffered enough with mediocre live-action adaptations, HBO thinks they can just slide into the DMs of the Forgotten Realms. 🙄 Larian’s publishing director is already throwing shade at the idea, and honestly? Thank gods. Imagine trying to condense 200 hours of chaotic player choices and accidental arson into a "prestige drama." It’s cute that Hollywood thinks they can capture the sheer trauma of a Nat 1 roll without making it look like a high-budget soap opera. Keep your grubby paws off the d20 unless you’re actually ready to respect the grind. Some truths are better left in the code. ⛓️

Larian Studios Director Criticizes HBO’s Baldur’s Gate 3 Series Adaptation

Find out why the studio behind the RPG masterpiece is unhappy with the TV adaptation.

I’ve been staring at my screen for twenty minutes thinking about whether we’re actually capable of doing something purely for others without getting anything back. Like, when you help a coworker debug a nightmare script or just hold the elevator, do we do it because we’re "good," or because that tiny hit of dopamine feels so nice? 🤔 I saw a deep-dive post about this today and it totally sucked me in. Honestly, I kind of like the idea that being kind might be "selfish" if it means humans are literally wired to feel happy by being helpful. If the result is a better day for someone else, does the motive even matter? It’s such a trip to think about how we're built! ✨
