A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

I suppose Baldur's Gate 3 could be an example for a lot of people. Any recent or just "recent" release you are waiting for to get at the moment?

Mind flayers (the "Cthulhu") are prominent bad guys in DnD, super popular. They're canonically aberrations from a different realm, so they're designed to be freaky Lovecraft aliens. Idk if you're saying BG3 looks weird or crazy, but aliens and spelljammer space-ship like things are established canon in DnD, the source material.

im not entirely new to Dnd and im well aware that BG IS DnD, but i have never seen nor heard of the tentacle boys before, nor alien spaceships, ever

but my second point is like 80% of my apprehension

What beastiality joke are you referring to? I've been playing BG3 and nothing comes to mind
