In Baldur’s Gate 3, many players met the Githyanki for the first time through Lae’zel — disciplined, aggressive, and utterly uncompromising. But the Githyanki are more than psychic warriors riding red dragons. In this video, we explore how their history of enslavement by mind flayers, systemic violation, and violent rebellion shaped them into a civilisation built on control, hierarchy, and perpetual readiness for war. Through the lens of psychology, we examine how trauma can crystallise into doctrine — turning survival mechanisms into cultural identity. #baldursgate #dungeonsanddragons #ttrpg #dnd #gaming Happy Pokemon Day #dungeonsanddragons #dnd #dndhomebrew #ttrpg #gaming Roleplaying games like Dungeons & Dragons are often dismissed as escapism, but long-term players know something deeper is happening. People don’t just create characters — they reveal themselves through them. Patterns emerge over time: who takes responsibility under pressure, who protects others, who avoids conflict, who craves control. These aren’t random role choices; they’re expressions of identity filtered through fiction. The Johari Window, a model of self-awareness, helps explain this. It divides the self into four areas: what we know and share (Open), what others see but we don’t (Blind), what we hide (Hidden), and what remains undiscovered (Unknown). #dungeonsanddragons #dungeonsanddragons5e #dndmeme #dnd #ttrpgs #dndgram #dndtok #gamesnight #dungeonsanddragons #ttrpgs #dungeonsanddragons #dnd #dungeonsanddragons5e #gaming #ttrpg #dnd #dungeonsanddragonsminiatures #dungeonsanddragons5e #ttrpgmemes #ttrpgfamily

House of the Dragon is Back !!!

We Don’t Need Kings

The Spider-Man Noir Trailer looks exquisite

By David Cromie on February 13, 2026 • ( Leave a comment )

I wasn’t sure if I wanted this show, but after seeing the trailer I’m pretty sure I need it. Nic Cage is bringing that novoshamanic energy and I’m here for it.

Crunchyroll To Increase Prices

By David Cromie on February 4, 2026 • ( Leave a comment )

“I’m as mad as hell, and I’m not going to take this anymore!” — the quote immortalised by Peter Finch in the 1970s classic Network — feels uncomfortably appropriate right now. Last […]

Baldur’s Gate 3’s lost character

By David Cromie on February 3, 2026 • ( Leave a comment )

During early development, Baldur’s Gate 3 nearly featured a fully fledged bard companion — and no, it wasn’t Alfira. That honour belonged to Helia, a scrappy halfling bard with a dark secret: […]

Did Jeffrey Epstien Help Ruin Modern Gaming?

By David Cromie on February 2, 2026 • ( Leave a comment )

I think we can all agree that Jeffrey Epstein was an absolute piece of human garbage. And frankly, if there is a hell, I hope he’s rotting in it. Compared to everything […]
