Get ready for another multi-part Baldur's Gate 3 saga, on my 12th playthrough of the game. Once again, I saw scenes and places I'd not seen before. Near the end of my write-up of my 11th playthrough of Baldur's Gate 3, I set my goals for playthrough 12: Use the Adjustable Party Limit mod to include every…
This post is a follow up to An “honest” 66!! It's what I think will be the final post in a series that began with 46! I'm not going to recap those earlier posts. If this post doesn't make sense to you, I suggest you glance at the older ones. Of course, you can do whatever you'd…
This is a follow-up post to my last one, 67!!, in which I describe a potentially dubious approach I took to rolling a 67 on an Ability Check in Baldur's Gate 3. I strongly suggest you read that post before reading this one; otherwise my following remarks may not make sense. I got a roll of 66…
If you've been following along these "die roll" posts, you may be confused. If you've haven't been following these posts, I strongly advise you to start with 46! and read them in order. That will put this post in context. What's the confusion? Clearly I've rolled a 67 in an Ability Check in Baldur's Gate 3: There…

You've come directly to this post, probably due to one of my social-media links. Or perhaps you're looking through the posts in the order they're listed in…
Just a few days later, I surpass the unexpected! C'mon, Mattis! You saw the post title. I rolled a 57 Ability check in Baldur's Gate 3! Again, the game didn't give me the image of the die with the number displayed. I didn't think I'd get this far! Can't I get some more enthusiasm? How about another…
After writing that long post on rolling a 46 in Baldur's Gate 3 yesterday, I though it would be a long time (if ever) before I'd write a follow-up post on rolling higher than that. I didn't think it would possible that I'd beat the roll the next day. The Goddess of Luck had other plans. I…
If you read the title of this post as "46 factorial," you are an amazing human being who deserves to be loved. If you didn't read the title of this post as "46 factorial," you are an amazing human being who deserves to be loved, but you know less math than the category of people listed above.…
TL;DR: I did not like this game. Get ready for a negative review, with lots of pictures. Context If you've read any post in this blog for the past year, you know that I've developed a fascination for Baldur's Gate 3. I've gushed over the quality of its story, and praised the design decisions made by the…
Yes, you! And you don't even need a copy of Baldur's Gate 3 to do it. It starts with this article that was published in Ars Technica. The article describes how a software engineer set up a public test of Google's AI photo interpretation. I strongly suggest you read the article, then head over to They See…
