Baldur's Gate 3 comes out on PC today and people seem to be talking about it everywhere. Developer Larian has done great work with the Divinity: Original Sin games and built a strong following, so a lot of the excitement is unsurprising. What does surprise me is where the other surge of excitement is coming from, because it's something I haven't seen before. It's a surge coming from outside of video gaming, from the colossal community surrounding Dungeons & Dragons.

Digital Foundry today launches a new channel on YouTube - DF Clips - which aims to bring more of our work to a wider audience. Looking at the way our content is 'consumed' on YouTube via analytics, it's clear that while we've built up a large audience and an excellent supporter community, YT itself isn't really a platform best suited to longer form, in-depth material.

Can the modest 15W APU that powers the Deck deliver a good experience in these cutting edge games, with good-looking visuals at reasonable frame-rates? Or do these latest PS5 ports push past the limits of Valve's handheld?
