(Disclaimer: I know someone who worked on this) The Castlevania: Belmont's Curse Demo is full of stunningly beautiful art, with excellent voice acting, and slick, satisfying animation. Cannot wait to get to play the full game when it comes out.

A baseline is an investigation. I don't care who you are, where you are from, or how promising people think you are Investigate If your friends are talking about doing things to or with someone that you would not be ok with happening to you, or someone you love? Call them out. This is basic stuff

I think there would be a lot of "Wait, what?" in regards to just where my life has gone, the people I have been lucky enough to befriend, and what I am doing both professionally and personally. Overall, impressed, and a little mad that I didn't do more.

DC has put in a TON of work to make running a game for your friends (or friends with benefits), enemies (or enemies to lovers, I don't judge), or randos you find on the net a LOT easier. Thoughtfully designed, easy to use and expand because it is built on Obsidian. 3 dang dollars is a bargain!

What would I do if AI was banned tomorrow? Save $$ so when the price drops hit I could buy RAM and a new video card. My work would not change, as the only time I interact with it is if I have to document it in one of our systems. If it were banned? I could focus on the tools we actually use.
