Remember the massive passive skill tree in Path of Exile? Well, it’s back in Path of Exile 2, offering over a thousand nodes for you to lose your mind over. If you’re a newcomer to Path of Exile, the passive skill tree has plenty of branching paths to choose from. Depending on which character class you pick, you’ll start at a different place of the tree. From there, you’re free to take whichever direction you want following the established paths, which adds to the experimentation element around builds.
As you might expect, it’s hard to commit to a path over others, especially if you feel like your current build is lacking on certain resistances or attributes halfway through the game. That’s when respeccing comes in. If you’re wondering how to respec passive skills in Path of Exile…

Read moreThe government for the Netherlands has reportedly postponed the planned debut of the nation’s regulated iGaming market by a month so as to allow operators further time to get to grips with the coming raft of new regulations.
According to a Tuesday report from iGamingBusiness.com, the delay marks the third time the country of some 17 million people has deferred the launch date for its iGaming market following the ratification of its enabling Remote Gambling Act in February of 2019. The source detailed that this most recent interruption was announced by the nation’s Legal Protection Minister, Sander Dekker, to mean that operators will now not be permitted to begin offering their services to Dutch punters until the first day of October.

Read moreBernie Sanders met his first catboy vtuber on a Twitch stream yesterday to help promote presidential candidate Kamala Harris, and, I gotta say, he handled it pretty well. Most people—let alone U.S. Senators—might’ve been more hesitant, but Sanders took it in stride.
Twitch streamer and virtual YouTuber Sykkuno greeted Sanders in his anime avatar moments after he joined the stream and explained why he wasn’t on camera like the others, which included host AustinShow and popular streamer Pokimane.
“Do you know what a vtuber is?” Sykkuno asked. There wasa brief moment of awkward silence before Sykkuno repeated the question: “Have you heard of a vtuber before?”
“Nope,” Bernie admitted.
“No? I’m the first one! Thank you for supporting vtubers!” Sykkuno ex…
Read moreWhen you frequent gaming circles on social media, there are certain topics that poke the “discourse bear.” You’ve probably been exposed to the carousel of phrases that inspire developers, journalists, influencers, and fans to chime in every few months with Thoughts (review scores, easy mode, yellow paint). Usually I find these pow wows safe to ignore as folks repeat the same reasonable points at each other, but I admit there’s one recurring topic that always rubs me the wrong way: game length, and how much we’re supposed to (not) care about it.
The topic goes back further than social media, but the first time I remember everyone having an opinion on price and length was Gone Home in 2013—a time when indie games had started to command a lot of respect in the industry, but b…
Read moreBaldur’s Gate 3‘s second act has a couple of very important decisions—so much so I wrote a whole dang guide on how to thread its particular narrative needle. Before I get stuck into it, spoilers for the game’s second act, in case the headline didn’t clue you in.
A Reddit thread optimistically titled “How to bamboozle Lady Shar” by rokamuda (thanks, Gamesradar) lays out how exactly this comedy of errors happened. “I made short work of Nightsong, saw the cutscene of Last Light Inn dome crumbling and got all of Lady Shar’s boons … as I exited through the portal I got the cutscene of Lady Shar cursing me for not completing my mission, being marked as the enemy, and Shadowheart asking forgiveness.”
Turns out, that’s down to the Disgu…
