Finished Norse: Oath Of Blood. It is a buggy mess. It could have a bit more content. The content it does have though is good. The story is well written. The world is fleshed out. Once you get to recruit people, you have way more hirdmen than you'll ever need to use in battles. Actually, on normal difficulty the ones you get while progressing the story are more than enough I really enjoyed it when I wasn't battling corrupted save games... Once they have sorted out the bugs it is a good tactical game.

Norse: Oath of Blood is a fun game, when it works. I hear it is about 13 hours of content. I assume 20 of those hours are trying to get save games to load.

Nah

Been playing a lot of Against The Storm. They added Seals at some point, which I guess are the city builder equivalent of boss battles. Every time you fix a seal, the duration of the cycles gets extended, allowing you to build settlements farther from the city, and the farther you get the higher the difficulty. I beat the Gold Seal which is kinda the story goal. Now I am pushing through Prestige difficulty to get to the next one. Last cycle I was one settlement too far away. This time I may just beat it if I get lucky and beat the next couple of settlements in good time. I kinda doubt it since I am at Prestige 5 difficulty.

I never realised the Devs behind Skylanders also made Starcontrol 1+2

They added a cat to Against The Storm with one of the updates. But with the rain setting, it is a shark cat

New Arc Line has some interesting ideas. But there isn't much content yet. And with the devs being Ukrainian, a part of the fanbase isn't certain they'll be able to complete the game. If/when the next update hits, I'll let you know how it is coming along.

So, 12th of March Greedfall leaves Early Access and Solasta enters Early Access. I;ll have to buy a second PC so I can play both at the same time...

I am re-reading Men At Arms.

The only Battletech author who could write a novel worth reading was Blaine Lee Pardoe, quiaff?

I have been under the weather, stuck on the sofa. So I finally felt lousy enough to waste time and watch The Watch. That show is a dumpster fire. The most amazing thing is, the people responsible for it were so delusional, they even wrote in the hooks for a second season.

So, should we schedule you for next month?

But only about a month behind me playing it, so you are good, carants. Just be careful that you do Old Countries in a New World before Mystery if the Ancient Ruins. Anything else in the game you can progress and leave as you wish (the few times things are timed it will tell you). But if you progress those specific quests in a mix, you can get the game breaking bug I got.

Hmm, Disco Elysium is today's free game on Epic. Maybe it is time to see what everybody was so excited about.

Though do we know who owns the rights to the IP after Troika went under?
