Elden Ring made me realize my gaming tastes have changed. Maybe it’s because I’m not 20 anymore, I don’t know. Read more

I made it about 10 minutes before turning to something else. Jaskier’s slapstick overacting is a lot to swallow even at the best of times, and doesn’t really work in the opening of a new show where they need to get you hooked and engaged (especially doubled up with him playing against himself?).
