BLGP EP 458: Bomb Rush Cyberfunk Been a busy week here at the Fortress of Darkness, and some kind of weather is rumoured soon. Meanwhile, I spent the whole fucking week playing "Baldur's Gate 3," so this week, a handful of games I haven't played - along with a "Jet Set/Grind(?) Radio" spiritual sequel ("Bomb Rush Cyberfunk"). Our offerings are rounded out by a slasher survival horror franchise adaptation ("Texas Chainsaw Massacre"), and even a racing game you can attempt to play for free all weekend! ALL THIS AND MOAR!

This week, we clear the deck to talk about some game called "Baldur's Gate 3." These detailed first impressions are absolutely spoiler free, in the off chance that some listeners might want to play it. To paraphrase the game, "Oh! Do please resist my generous offer; avail yourself of every opportunity, exhaust every potential, chase down and make certain that all competitors ultimately go to ground, evaporating in fantasy. And then, when you have for so long whittled at the bone of hope that you scarcely notice your blade has long begun to carve the fruitless marrow of your own despair... then I will be waiting to hear you beg to accept."

This week: we blast your faces off with every kind of alien terror from every which way till you're fucked so silly you think it's a Tuesday on Jupiter (good work, trooper): FIRST OFF: we blow your tiny little minds with an aperitif of "ERMAGERD SQUAD: WE ARE GONNA DIE" flavored "Starship Troopers: Extermination."

In this week's long (but I think reasonably lucid and fairly captivating) episode, we take a look at how MicroSloth has strip mined FOSS in the attempt to escape its own lack of new ideas, proprietize these ideas, then sell them back to the world under a different name, all while controlling the access to the most powerful form of computing technology so far devised by our species, the race to invent (and control) AGI.
