Even though your PC or console will be handling all the behind-the-scenes math, Baldur's Gate 3 still wants you to feel like you're playing a classic Dungeons and Dragons experience. To that end, you will still get to roll a digital D20 for important skill checks during your quests through the Forgotten Realms. If you're a little superstitious about how your rolls go, you may want to pick out a more "lucky"-feeling die to do your rolls. While you can't substitute in the trusty D20 you bring to your tabletop games, you can at least change the appearance of your in-game dice skins. Here's how to add a little personal touch to your die in Baldur's Gate 3.

How to change your dice skin

The unfortunate part about changing your dice skin is that you can only do it at very specific moments in the game and at no other time. If you miss one of these chances, you'll have to wait for the next one.

Step 1: Play normally until you come across a skill check that brings up the dice-rolling screen.

Step 2: Look to the bottom right of the screen for an icon you can select called Customize Dice.

Step 3: Selecting this will bring up a menu where you can swap out your dice skin for any others you have available.

Step 4: Depending on which version of the game you have, you will have access to different skins. As of now, there are no ways to get more dice skins in-game, so your options are limited based on your version.

Valve keeps widening the SteamOS net, and more handhelds are finally getting caught
Valve's SteamOS handheld empire just got a little bigger

SteamOS isn't just a byproduct developed for Valve's gaming hardware, and the company is proving this by expanding support for other handhelds aside from the Steam Deck. While the platform hasn't been exclusive to the Steam Deck, more handhelds from MSI, Ayaneo, and Konkr are getting support for Valve's latest SteamOS beta.

As spotted by Notebookcheck, Valve’s new SteamOS 3.8.25 beta expands support for several third-party handhelds. This doesn’t amount to Valve giving every device full SteamOS certification, but the update brings another handful of machines closer to working properly with the company’s gaming-focused operating system.

Intel Arc G3 Extreme Tested: Intel has finally arrived in handheld gaming
Intel's new handheld chip brings serious performance without treating the battery like an afterthought.
MSI Claw Intel Arc G3 Extreme Logo 2

I first caught a glimpse of Intel's new handheld silicon at Computex 2026, where I saw early hardware powered by it, including the MSI Claw 8 EX AI+ and Acer Predator Atlas 8. But seeing a chip run a demo on a show floor and actually pushing it through real-world workloads are two very different things. When MSI eventually sent me the production Claw for a spin, I finally got that opportunity. I only had the device for a short time, but that brief window was enough to make one thing clear: Intel's Arc G3 Extreme is a seriously capable handheld gaming platform.

Logitech PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE review: This one hits differently and it made me rethink clicking
Turns out, the humble left click had a lot more room to evolve than I thought.
Logitech PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE Design 1

Between reviewing tech for a living and spending most of my day in front of a screen, free time is a luxury. Yet almost every evening, I somehow find myself queueing up for two or three ranked Valorant games. My peak rank is Ascendant 1, and while I'm far from going pro, competitive FPS titles are where I put hundreds of hours every year.

For the longest time, my trusty Logitech G502 X Plus LIGHTSPEED was always waiting on my desk. It wasn't the lightest mouse around, but it felt dependable. I'd flirt with lightweight esports mice now and then, only to come crawling back a few days later. Most of them either felt too hollow, too small, or simply lacked the reassuring heft I had grown accustomed to. Then the Logitech PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE showed up, and for the first time, my G502 has been gathering dust.
