Yeah, mission design is really barebones, so it gets rather repetitive. Still, open-world coop is never not fun if the people you play with are willing to go off-script even a little. It's the only reason I considered getting Far Cry 5 for. Me, I've been going through Divinity OS/2 with a friend. Loving the writing and characters, but the stat bloat and progression model kinda hurts the whole experience for me. Stellaris still unplayable, even with the beta patch. Yep, in my case we routinely re-enact Black Hawk Down as neither of us has quite figured out trees and rotor blades don't mix.

Higher standard for one. MLS isn't as horrid as it used to be, though

That is correct. It's basically a small niche in an overloaded sports market. You have American Football, baseball, basketball, hockey, Nascar, golf, and tennis all getting more attention. Americans and their inferior sports.

Playing GR Wildlands co-op. It is pretty fun, even if it will get pretty repetitive. I did like the tag that the game is not an actual representation of Bolivia

Guess specific examples were too much to hope for. I should get around to trying Civ VI, maybe when it's not so expensive. Or maybe just wait until they go with Civ VII and get it all for cheap

Like what?

Play 4. And only 4.

Death marching myself through 'A Sword Into Darkness'. Not even sure when/how I ended up owning this book, but good grief it is tedious. Sections of Crichton-esque masturbation sessions by the author showing off his research mixed with Honor Harrington really make this an enjoyable read.

You should write for video games.

...Did you take all the refugees that were running from the massive ice storm? Only the healthy ones, probably could have managed all if I didn't forego getting heaters and some other medical improvements.

Well motored through Frostpunk on second playthrough, survived the New Home scenario and didn't become a despot or nutcase. Worst I did was put kids to work in 'safe' jobs which, considering the circumstances is all right.

Sorry to hear that, Hurl, condolences to you and your family. Rough time of the year to lose someone. That is a good way to commemorate him though.

Frostpunk is pretty fun, nice challenge for me at least. Failed horribly on first playthrough, though I did end up convincing my people that I was somehow God's Messenger so that was cool. Think I have a better run going, just need to get a lot of steam cores and automatons

Alone in the office as everyone's working from home or on vacation. Means I can safely blast Ice Cube on my laptop in the office.

He just wants to be loved.

Got Frostpunk for Christmas so am going to kick that off, I had heard it was short and shallow but as I paid $0 for it, might as well give it a go. Also ignoring the titanic backlog of games I have yet to work through. Remembered why I play Overwatch again, is to troll people that get bent out of shape. Yesterday's highlight was some guy having a crisis as he fell from 2200 to 1900 and was on a tear how we all shirked our 'responsibility' to switch or whatever. Some people are going to kill themselves with such stress.
