War of the Overworld+PetDungeon DLC because of Steam sale. ....but I have yet to even download it. I'm actually more interested in the pet dungeon then I am any mission-campaigning. When it came to Dungeon Keeper 2 (which is what I think, based on videos, War of the Overworld more resembles), the Pet Dungeon was really my fave aspect.

Double-checked, pretty sure I didn't post these already. Noct's meow. So far, my favorite mod/s. Everyone but Ignis (or whatever bro of your choice) is invisible! Great for screenshots. Sadly invisible bro's weapons still show up in combat, breaking the illusion. Ah well. When you catch the game AI in the middle of the 1 second or so of insta-teleporting chrs to the chocobo's.

The old thread hadn't quite reached 500. I know what's going on here. You just wanted your dino pics on the first page.

Like some others here, I really hate overly hot weather. The thing is, in Bay-California, most summer days it's actually pretty nice outside, if you're sitting in some shade. Just enough breeze where it's warm but not in a sweaty way. It's inside the house that feels like an oven that makes you sweat and stick to couches. I've considered prying off the wood siding on the house and spraying that all-uniform foam insulation everywhere and in the "attic" crawlspace, but that would make it difficult to access wiring and such I'd imagine. So would pouring concrete into all the walls. Maybe I should build a computer-gazebo. You know how some people go all out with their covered BBQ spaces? Like that, only rigged with outlets and cables for computer-ing. Then I could just stick a desktop, TV/monitors and snoozing-lounge outside and annoy the neighbors with the sounds of gaming and youtube all day/night long. Along with my occasional shriek of being woken up by the cold noses of raccoons.

Dog still the best thing about FO4.

I am weak, so this turned out to be a complete lie. Haha...your original statement is about where I'm at right now. I mostly want it because it's supposed to support Ansel, and having another game to use Ansel with would be awesome for me. But all the user reviews talk about how the game is shallow and the maps/play area is so small and ... I dunno. Maybe $30. So I say now.

You know those FFXV chibi chr. models I was goofing off with? SE liked them a lot apparently. https://steamcommunity.com/games/637650/announcements/detail/1694924880250725312 ...but the thing is, I'm not sure what to make of this. They liked them a lot, but maybe still thought they were visually buggy/crap so they wanted to put out official, better looking, versions to represent? I mean, it's pretty cool and all but... ...does this mean if I (or anyone else) makes some gap-filled, bad textured shirtless Prompto/Noct/Ignis models, that are still subbed to a lot, will they finally put out official versions of such? They put Ignis' "hairdown" outfit due to popular demand. Gladio has his Official smexy shirtless outfit already. Be fair now, Square. .....

I have War of the Overworld+PetDungeon DLC in my cart (for $12 or so, I'll finally try it ) . Can't decide if I want to stick Tyranny in there as well...it's a deep discount but I'm not sure if I'd be into playing it any time soon (eg, before next winter or summer sale, haha). Not much else randomly sticks out at me. Edit: oh was thinking about Jurassic World, but only because it has Ansel. I hear it's not very good.... edit-edit - not part of the sale either, just sayin..

Graphics not being important to good gameplay is why games don't "age" like movies do, imo. You could have some games where the gameplay style itself becomes so outdated no one could play them anymore, like how many have difficulty with Shakespeare because of the writing/language style, but I get the feeling that wouldn't be very many yet. I mean, even Asteroids could still be fun for short bursts ... which outside of high-score obsessions are what games like that were designed for anyway. Also this: Many of these types are even less dependent (than some other genres) on "visual immersion" to be great fun so yeah...I'd agree.

I only replay games I like enough to replay in spite of any possible "issues", so in that regard, "all of them."

Today it's choc. chip brownies .... and spending 1.5 hours cutting my own hair, because I'm picky and like doing things the hard way.

....well, the Assassin's new game sounds mildly interesting. I'd certainly probably like the format change vs. what I perceived the original format to be (never had interest/never played any, hence "perceived"). But it's Ubi right? Uplay? I haven't played anything that requires Uplay since Uplay began. Maybe one day a game will make it happen tho (just like FONV is what made me reinstall/use Steam again)...just probably not this one. Still, I do like the setting and I do like arpg's/open world, if the dev's choices match my personal tastes well enough. Hm.

Thor Raganrok. Terrible movie by any standard. But ... I'm sorry, couldn't help it, I laughed out loud quite often so at least I was entertained. At least it didn't take itself seriously. Plus it always helps to not care about any "lore"/have zero expectations anyway. I didn't like the 2nd Thor but the 1st and this 3rd one (I think it's the 3rd one?) - what I liked is Thor himself, Loki (the mostest!), and the humor level. Although this one did reinforce that I really don't like Mark Rooflufalus as Banner. CGI Hulk is CGI Hulk, who cares, but...the actor has been fine in other roles, it's not that I dislike the actor, but as Banner ... yeah, not fond.

I made a 9x9 pan of honey cornbread, then ate half of it. it was so good tho. Hubby's with the sis-in-law, who's in town for the weekend, helping her with some home repair type stuff (they rent out the house they used to live in). He took my car - something he does more and more often - leaving me "stranded" (I can't drive his big van). Good thing I'm a homebody. I think he's put close to 10k on my '98 model car the past 16-18 months. Might reach 50k by 2020. Ha. Ha. @ShadySands - that definitely sucks, sorry to hear. :/ @tek - too cute. I need a kitty to rescue. The neighbors small chickens that keep flapping into our yard now and then aren't quite the same.

The problem I have with Steam like stuff is if the "services" they offer are nothing I want, they're just in my way or bloat things up, when all I want to do is buy, install, and play a game. Where's the "none of that stuff, Lite version" I can download? My irritation with Steam would lessen by about 50% if they would: 1 - allow the user to COMPLETELY HALT auto-updating, at least for single-player games. I should be able to choose when I want to apply a latest patch. The "only update the game when I launch" does zip, since as soon as Steam detects you have a game that needs updating, you can't run the game again until you update it. At least, none of the games I own will run without updating. >.> 2 - allow the user to COMPLETELY HALT Steam from any similar kind of auto-updating re: specific game (auto-updates to the Steam client, eh, fine), including Workshop mods for a specific game. When I decided I'd finally try nvidia experience a while back, upon install it automatically started a process of checking my disk for games and installing profiles for said games, without asking if I even wanted this to be done. There was no way to stop it, it was part of the install process. Are the profiles harmful? No. That's not the point. I wanted to try Shadowplay, not install "game ready" profiles I have no need for and are impossible to delete/remove without completely reinstalling nvidia drivers or using a 3rd party program. Blanket installs, things I have no use for/no choices given, and update processes like this are what I can't stand and it's what software seems to be these days. And I dislike it intensely, thus I dislike Steam.

Pretty much this. At least for the "newer" games, including some indies. And if it wasn't Steam, it'd be another company's similar "service." Or console service. Service, service, service.

Only the Brave - I think Starz had it on. For one of those based on true tragedy/events type films, it's fairly decent. Slower paced, maybe 15-20 minutes too long but in general doesn't turn into melodrama. A large ensemble of chrs. but focuses only on two so most others get short shrift. Effects worked and didn't make me think "CGI" all the time, outside of a dream sequence, and that's a dream so... The bro-team-building bits and humor were done well. Maybe I'd give it a ... 7/10?

Your wish is my command!

(double-posting, shoot me) ...which reminds me, does anyone else just boil herbs in a pot as an "air freshner?" i suppose that doesn't work well if you have a huge house but I much prefer the smell of that than some chemical-fruit-perfume odor. Either just on the stove is enough or you can put the heated pot on coaster somewhere else for a while.

I guess my current "hobby" is to check Steam-workshop once a day and try one of the silly/stupid mods. I get my daily laugh and then go back to doing other, non-computer things.

Today it's slow cooked beef tri-tip roasts (wrapped in bacon) and around halfway through some small red potatoes tossed around the edges to cook with it. The house is going to smell so yummy all day...

I was thinking today about how my old 35mm film camera, it had a tiny little watch-like battery in it, that I replaced maybe once every year. Sometimes longer. Vs. having to recharge batteries constantly/carry more than one battery, like now. Which made me hunt for the thing (stuffed in a box somewhere). It was a Pentax ME-Super, with a couple zoom lenses (I never had the stock 50mm). It was a very nice basic film camera for those days. Tough too, and mine's in great condition (no scuffing or cracks etc). I picked it up and it's so small/light vs. the DSLR's, even with the zoom lens attached. Outside of having no instant-access to pics, I still love the concept of non-digital. So I looked up if you could still (easily) buy film. Apparently you can although not as cheaply as before. If I only had the space or an extra bathroom for a development room, I could get back into it as a hobby probably. Hubby wants to build a shed, a small greenhouse etc. in the backyard. Can I build a darkroom shed? The grass area is fairly large and rectangular, we don't need any grass, right?

My online presence is shrouded in dark mystery and confounding contradictions to confuse and misdirect all search and ad bots and such. I am invisible! .... "but honey, there are gov. forms and the like that" ... hush, you, I'm invisible, let's go with that. Today I'm inelegantly sprawled out on the daybed in my PC room, watching Netflix/surfing the net, because past couple days it's too bloody warm outside/in the rest of the house. Maybe summer has finally arrived vs. only peeking around the corner now and then? When the early evening picks up tho, I'll go back outside and do a little yard trimming. Summer days may suck in a way (to me), bu summer evenings are the best.

Right now I'm playing the Steam is doing its service downtime and thus I can't play FFXV since that last game update appears to have replaced Offline play ability with an endless loading screen (SE programming ineptness, I assume). With a side of "#1 reason why I hate always-online singleplayer gaming/services no matter how convenient it may appear."

My life is now complete AND I don't have to buy the Pocket Edition! Hardehar. Man I don't know how all the modders manage the zillion bones when they convert stuff to work with XV. I've looked at some models - sooo many bones. Still so many issues plaguing them (rigging gets wonky/gap-filled with movement or certain angles, cloth physics, lighting issues at night, other things). I've downloaded a lot of object models of the bro's and other npc's for future but I'm far from being able to work with them myself yet. :/
