It rained really badly last night and this morning. A little cat (I would say around 5 months old) in the vacant lot next door panicked, climbed the wall, climbed the two meter mesh and, reaching the top, realized it was easier to get down from my side. Problem is, she can't get out that way, as there is nothing to step on on the other side, so trying to get across the mesh (and barb wire the neighbours put up) has her scared of impaling herself. After hours of her crying and me trying to figure out a way of getting her down, another cat got tired of the situation, climbed up and tried to show her how to get down. Problem: the other cat found herself in the same predicament. A friend came over and we set up a ladder, I held the ladder and he climbed up, bent the bottom of the mesh, so they can slip out underneath. The older cat did just that. The younger was still hiding. We decided that with time and us gone, she'd slip out the same way. So I started gathering up our stuff. As my back was turned, he grabbed the ladder to do another attempt. He leaned it against the wall, instead of opening it up properly. He leaned it against the wall while on a wet glass floor. Suddenly I heard a BAM. I rushed out. Found him lying on the floor. Probably broke his ankle. Waiting to hear how things went at the hospital. If the cat got the XP for downing him, she probably leveled up.

You can read the first four books or so. Horus, Abbadon and the rest of the traitor characters will still be badly written, but up to and including the flight of the Eisenstein (I think the ship is called), at least you are rooting for main characters like Saul Tarviz and Nathanael Garro who are worth rooting for. But the moment Garro reaches earth, every word worth reading has been read, and the series devolves into plot stupidity on the loyalist part and plot immortality on the traitor side. And of course the fact a lot of those authors do not actually understand the English language. Rather sad seeing how they are English themselves and know no other language. And the editors should live in hiding in case proper editors find them and execute them for crimes against the trade. In general, I wasn't too keen on Eisenhorn. Gaunts Ghosts I found enjoyable, but the series dragged on. Necromunda novels have been mostly fun.

Youthful optimism always had me hit R a few times.

I never understood the difference between Abort and Fail. Both meant your job didn't get done, no?

It also may be always online, I read.

Can I import my save from Skyrim, including my adoptive children, the family dog and the family fox into Starfield?

Fae Tactics has one of the cutest protagonists. NPC: "I don't know why you are here, but you better leave." Peony: - long explanation of why you are there - NPC: "Why are you just telling me all this?" Peony: "Well, you said you didn't know why I was here, so I am telling you."

Like stomach ache after too much pizza, hours of gameplay are ephemeral. Unlike the living one, who transcends hours of gameplay and will live again On WINGS OF FIRE... No, that's not right... ... ... Will be reborn. That's it! The Living One will be reborn ON WINGS OF FIRE.

It is difficult to get Hawaiian over here. Otherwise 9-15 euros for a normal sized 8 slice pepperoni depending on where you get it (delivery, which delivery, restaurant, which restaurant)

I now compare it to the price of pizza and the grief my stomach will give me , now that I am over 40 and a late pizza plays hell on my metabolism.

I think it is great when hidden characters get unique dialogue in scenes that aren't specific to them.

Will he become an admin at loverslab after he leaves Bethesda 😛

Fae Tactics. Finally managed to beat the Stone Gardens without killing any of the gorgon sisters. Didn't get the loot out of the chest, but getting the good ending for the fight has been the hardest thing so far in the game, so not going to try this again just for some loot.

Prometheus didn't go get his liver eaten out daily by an eagle, for people to just eat their food raw. Honour his sacrifice. Eat your steak like charcoal.

I never managed to punish myself to read as far into the Horus Heresy as to encounter Jaghatai Khan. The books get so terrible bad, and the words in them inconsequential, I prefer watching paint dry.

Flurry was fun in Kotor.

Sounds legit.

You can pay for a loot box that has a 0.67% chance of dropping an active quest increase. Chances doubled if you get a premium subscription!

Indeed. I will have to read the book now. I read The Warriors which the respective movie is very very different to, even while keeping a lot of the pacing and theoretically a lot of the scenes.

No branching and no real surprises. It's a pretty straightforward story. They added a couple of twists, and one of them I didn't see coming. At least not the way it did. But the story itself held no surprises. The sponsors are irrelevant to the story. It is just a secondary upgrade system, where at each game threshold you get to choose between three rewards. First choice is 1000xp or 3 medkits or 3 frag grenades. Later a choice is between a 10% melee damage boost for all characters or a unique implant for the main character or... can't remember. So just small boosts. Play the game once, you have seen everything and unlocked everything. For people who like xcom style gameplay and running man like plots, this is a recommendation if you get it at a price you are okay paying for 15 hours of gaming time. Because unless you say you want to play the exact same content a second time, you won't get more playtime out of it. There is only a handful of arenas where you have enough choices of characters to play them with a different line up.

I finished Showgunners. Overall a positive experience, with only a few minor points of criticism based on personal preferences. It is a turn based tactics game made by the people behind Hard West and Phantom Doctrine, where the player takes the role of Scarlet, a contestant in a Runningman style reality TV game show. The game has 7 "episodes", as the show follows the protagonist over a span of a week. Each episode has the player explore a map, avoiding traps, fighting minor ambushes, signing autographs. and entering combat arenas for the large highlight battles of the show. There is nothing random in the episodes - the ambushes and other surprises are scripted. Between episodes the player rests at a hub location, where they can interact with team mates and npcs. The plot is predictable but works. The combat is fun. Character progression has you spending points to unlock bonuses and abilities, but at max level everything will be unlocked - you choose the order in which you unlock, not what. You also unlock sponsors based on your fame and personality. The choice of sponsors is the only thing that really changes between playthroughs. A playthrough is around 15 hours. I would have liked each episode to have had a named mini boss instead of simply introducing a new enemy type. I would have liked npc contestants at the hub, to better show how others are participating in the show. I find it silly they went out of their way to make one character Ukrainian.

Speaking of, John Blanche retired.

Why? They were all idiots or crybabies. Except for those who were idiot crybabies.
