Ech, all them U-tubers farm views by crying about how wimin, and wokeness and whatever are ruining gaming. It's the thing to do as a tuber these days. Even if they have no clue what they are talking about or what online culture they in turn are contributing to. Trailers and preview videos can be awesome and the game can still end up an Evil Genius 2. Trailers and stuff can be utter garbage and you can still get a Saints Row 3. And right now we aren't even that far with the kotor remake. Some twit making a video out of reading twitter in the end is just that, a twit reading twitter.

I replayed Kotor. Never replayed Kotor2. I found it to be trying too hard to be profound.

And the party reactions to the plot twist were fun. The writers threw it at you as the super important revelation that defines the whole game, and the majority of npcs in your party had the exact opposite reaction, so it prevented the scene from becoming cringy like so many super hero stories "Oh, wow the bad guy is your step brother who hates you because you got more attention blah blah". It was one of those games where the writers weren't trying too hard to be super serious writers and just ran with it. I think it is what makes it Bioware's best game.

You could always play Majesty or Mordheim or Troubleshooter until you are better

My two big issues with Skyrim now are: 1) who to marry, since I'd like the children to have two parents and not be left so much time with housecarl nannies. 2) how to split my holdings between them fairly. The house in Solitude is probably the most important property, being as it is in Solitude, near the Blue Palace and next door to the emperor's cousin. Windhelm has symbolic value and is also a port and the link to Solstheim and the manor there. Whiterun is strategically placed. Riften is a port. Markarth has the mines. Then there are the three homesteads which should grow into villages by the time the girls inherit them... Doh client showed up. Have to interrupt the important musings for work.

They'll do a Linux exclusive to spite everyone except you

Yeah, monitoring your vital signs has become a full time occupation ever since you mentioned I may have to take care of your kids if something were to happen to you.

In the very random gaming news section: @Hurlsnot died at least 3 times already playing Encased.

Yeah, you could theoretically go to Who's Online, click Full List and filter it by Members. Then for example you'd get Bruce reading the Food thread 6 minutes ago (as I see while I am posting). So if anyone has been looking at a thread you are about to lock in the last couple of minutes they could theoretically be posting. But with a long reply that could be longer, so there isn't too much point checking. How many minutes would a moderator have to then wait to have given people a reasonable time to post? Because this tiny post took 7 minutes. On the other hand, since the "locking this" post comes first, and whoever is typing at the time should get a notification that a new post has appeared in the discussion they are posting in, they could be given a small window (30 seconds? Dunno, someone else do the haggling) to see that post and copy whatever they have been typing. Eh, hasn't happened to me in ages, and when it does it gives me something to tease the moderators with.

Trying Hard West. Having to enter the game options to enable the "experimental" feature to be able to save the game is among the most ridiculous things I have encountered in gaming.

No hard feelings. And as proof, I will tell you that Road 96 was also in my discovery queue, which could be more to your liking.

I am looking through my discovery queue instead of getting work done, and I have to wonder, why did nobody post here last month that Boyfriend Dungeon was released on Steam? The store description: Date your weapons! Romance swords, daggers, and polearms to level them up in this “shack-and-slash” dungeon crawling adventure. I feel this forum is really not keeping up with gaming news.

I finished both seasons of Kingdom (the Korean zombie show) and watched the movie Kingdom - Ashin of the North, which I guess does the character background for Ashin so the audience is prepared for season 3.

Did games under her watch not produce enough DLC?

It's the Hearthfire DLC. Also the awful scripting of NPC routines in Bethesda games, that makes them get lost and walk out of towns and off into the sunset.

Back to your favorite stories: Skyrim Tales of Parenting with Melkathi We played hide and seek with Lucia before I headed off to Whiterun and what would turn out to be the siege of Whiterun. When I returned to Solitude, Lucia was gone. Of course my housecarl Jordis had no idea where she was. Or any of the guards (read: I ran all across Solitude where her routine could take her). I talked to Noster Eagle-Eye, who I pay to keep his eye on the girls when they play outside. And I had a stern word with Sofia, after having tried to bribe her with honey nut treats. Lucia had snuck past the guards at the gate, out of Solitude... So I went searching for her (console player.moveto refID). And found her well past Dragonbridge, on the road heading for Whiterun. Seems she got tired waiting for news from the battle and decided to check herself. "But muuuum..." "No. You are heading straight home and straight to bed." There was an Ancient Dragon circling overhead, but even it understood enough to keep well away from angry mum, so it didn't attack. Seriously. I may have to make a mod to ground her.

And I didn't like HumankindIt seems like an improvement over a few things in Endless Legend. I didn't feel as strongly that the game was clicking End Turn for 40 turns until I could produce the next thing and click End Turn for 25 turns. With EL I had a strong feeling that the devs didn't want players to do things or get things done.With Humankind I have the feeling the devs want us to do things, but they don't know what.The most interesting part seems to be putting together a "unique" civilization through the traits of advancing each Era. But the actual gameplay you have to go through to do so... not so interesting.It reminds me a bit of Spore actually.

Trying Humankind. Not really feeling it.

Unlike the Gamedec demo which even installed, now has turned the Play button into a Purchase button.

Besides, we really should institute Western European Time as the timezone with the best acronym.

I no longer play games at BST release time. They wanted Brexit? Have 'em take their dumb time zone with them as they leave

Steam releases usually are in 2 hours. 19:00 CET.

Steam had this indy event thing where indy games could showcase demo versions of their games. Like that game I posted about that was battle Brothers with legs.

Ironically I stopped playing the demo because I couldn't decide what choice to make.
