Thank God, mine only figured out cupboards and brings me chocolate, bonbons, and books instead of dead animals.

That was exactly the scene that came to mind for me as well

Kassandra showed the vets that she paid attention when I was playing Saints Row.

You just want to know what she looks like, in case you truly anger me and I send her to take you out.

Vet 2: I'm okay. She bit me. But I am wearing gloves. It hurts. But I am imagining how it would hurt if I didn't wear gloves and that makes it easier.

Took my cat to the vet's. Right out of the carrier she went for his throat. No "where am I? What am I doing here?" Just "I remember you feth!" He tried those thick leather gloves. She ripped them off his hands and tossed them across the room. I tried putting her in the straight jacket like contraption. I'll now have some cool new scars in my face. It took over 30 minutes to restrain her and then she still bit through the leather gloves into the hands of one of the three vets (the fourth had fled and locked herself in the surgery room). Take aways from the experience: Vet 1: if you ever visit any vet again, first give her something to calm her down. I've never had such a violent cat ever. Vet 2: her bite is like a cobra. Suddenly she strikes. Like a cobra. Vet 2+3: she is really smart. She knows exactly how to block every move we make. Such a smart cat. Vet 4: if I don't make eye contact she may not pay attention to me.

Showgunners was a fun little indy game with XCOM style TB combat. I may personally scoff at the virtue signalling of having one NPC being explicitly Ukrainian when no nationality is mentioned for anyone else, but that doesn't change the qualities of the game as a game. It has fun combat, a predictable, niche story that appeals to men my age. But it lacks random encounters and enemy variety, meaning that after one short, fun romp the game is done. Capes suffered from bad reviews from people who wanted a different kind of game - a party based RPG with custom characters, instead of the Chimera Squad style superhero themed xcom clone they got. It also got a concerted attack from right wing trolls who see the game as a conspiracy to remove blond white protagonists from our culture and to besmirch Elon Musk. The game itself though is fun, even if the odd mission can be frustrating. The characters all have different powers meaning it matters who you take along on a given mission. Again, there are no random missions, but at least this time all missions are repeatable. Troubleshooter is huge and not everyone's cup of tea, especially with the Asian grinding for components to craft better and better gear required for the dlc enemies, but it did well enough for them to be working on the sequel. And honestly, an xcom clone jrpg instead of a final fantasy tactics clone was a big step. Lamplighters didn't offer anything. The combat in Shadowrun was uninspired and dull, the games enjoyable because of the good writing, not the gameplay. Battletech didn't have all that great tactical combat either. Harebrained had the IPs, but they didn't really make gameplay to convince they could pull off a good XCOM clone. And the good Americans Vs Nazis has been overdone - the world didn't need the latest Indiana Jones movie either. Harebraineds success was built on nostalgia. Far fewer people would have given the Shadow run trilogy a chance if Shadowrun Returns didn't have the "but it is the only shadowrun game we have" going for it. Even I, who hated Battletechs gameplay the first time round, made three attempts to perhaps enjoy it enough to play for the setting. I chose to watch the 80s cartoon instead (it is terrible, you have been warned). Harebrained has been a bit in a bubble. There are a plethora of games in the genre coming out that are worth looking out for. I am waiting for Mars Tactics. Others will enjoy Every Day We Fight - I personally hate the real time overwatch, but others may find it engaging. The genre has something to offer for everyone. Maybe not everyone has something to offer to the genre.

Tried Disney Speedstorm. It is an Okay Mario Kart style racer. It is also a nasty gacha game, so it could have been published more honestly by Paradox. It would have endless DLC, but it would be less predatory.

I bought Two Worlds 2 when it came out. Never really played it. Something bothered me in the initial feel. Maybe I'll have to try again after a full BruceVC rating has been given.

I lost all interest when they said your character had another vampire inside their head. WOD has so much to offer, it doesn't need dumb gimmicks.

And compression. Or lack thereof. Worried that Bokishi will run it at ultrahypersuperextraultraultra HD and a resolution of 192.000 x 108.000, some devs don't compress at all, to ensure best quality no naked eye would be able to identify.

Which is game industry speak for "you have to reinstall the game"

May have to try this out when it is ready.

I have started work on my backlog. Thus I played through Robothorium. A rogue like with a robot rebellion fighting for robot rights. The writing was done by someone who's English isn't the best. It could have done with at least a community proof reading. It was interesting to see the robot I found the least interesting gameplay wise initially turn into my favourite in the end. I'd need to do another three runs to get all achievements, but I don't see myself doing that. It did get me to want to play though, unlike Fallout 4. More enjoyable than Fallout 4 - better love story than Twilight.

We should do something about that.

By the end of season pass 3 it may be a good game. It will of course have reached a proper Paradox price by then.

Should have called this character Bruce as well. The real Bruce would have gotten a giggle out of that.

Well, if we accept the tit for tat logic and say what Isr@hell does is OK, then carpet bombing Telaviv would be fine. After all, the Mossad, IDF and their political leadership are hiding among civilians. A lot of israelis are armed and even have panic rooms (what normal civilian has one of those?) and isn't pretty much every adult a reservist anyway? But the pro-genocide hollowborn only apply that reasoning one way. No morals, no soul, no point arguing with them. They are Waidwen's Legacy at it's finest.

The looking for jr thing works for me. Or I can pretend it does. I can make the logical choice. But typical Bethesda gives you a drive then forces you to ignore it. "They stole your baby! Now ignore it because NPC X can't put down a mattress on his own."

I tried giving Fallout 4 another chance but I loath the settlement thing so much that I just can't play this. Uninstalled and moved from the RPG category to the Junk category in my Steam Library. The terrible writing about the Minutemen didn't help. WTF would I want to join an organization that is non-existent so I can do things that I could do just as easily without this organization that in fact I am the only person doing cr@p for? Classic case of writers deciding people need to care because the writers want them to, not because they gave them a reason to.

She does speak loudly and clearly.

What I did today: Tried to figure out why I didn't have no internets. What my cat did today: Disconnect the network cable.

Is it the 1st of April already? Man time flies.

Was it a free range bottle?
