Since no one mentioned XCOM 2 I’ll pick that. For some reason it only lets me play it with War of the Chosen expansion, though, and it’s very difficult. But I have fun getting my squad wiped because I’m masochist like that.

I just wish they’d add some more achievements

The empire is crumbling, yet the only thing on the mind of the people of Rome is who will win in the epic showdown between Priscus and Verus??

I dual boot anyway to use some features on my scanner, so I might as well use that in case something doesn’t run. So far I’ve been able to move all games I play to Linux. Older games tend to run better than on Windows, in my experience.

Before going with dual boot I was considering running a VM, which seems way cooler but also very tricky to set up properly with passthrough and all that.

How is it even possible that my apartment stays over 24℃ when it’s only 18℃ and cloudy outside

uhhh… because communism no A/C

…move along, citizen

I’ve been playing The Outer Worlds recently, and if I’m being honest it’s a little bland.

The hypercapitalist space dystopia is fun to laugh at and all, but after reading the nth message log about a company cutting corners and abusing their workers for greater profit it gets monotonous. Also, it’s all so similar to Fallout that it could almost be called plagiarism. They even do a kind of 50s/60s aesthetic.

The item system is cluttery, there’s too much of the generic consumables you need like ammo, lockpicks and weapons, and there isn’t much excitement in scouring boxes with loot. When you find a new weapon type, there’s bound to be 5 others of the same type close by.

I’m playing on hard difficulty, and apart from the early parts of the game the combat hasn’t really been much of a challenge. I try to do stealth kills for fun, but honestly at level 20+ I could just run up to a bandit or monster group and take them all out with a machine gun without them getting much chance to do any damage.

The colourful environments are nice though, and you can tell that the artists put a lot of effort into it. The Unreal Engine really shines in indoor environments.

Thank you for reading.

I for one am happy to have my ballsack free of weeds

Can’t wait to do this once I get my new computer

Now do the chores that you put off during the week and once you’re done it’ll be Monday

I feel like I’ve seen that cat somewhere before…

Scrolling through all my preciouses that I’m never going to play again

While you were out chasing booty, I studied the bootloader. While you were partying, I mastered the fstab

Missed opportunity to sneak Amigara Fault in there

Back in the day, there used to be Swedish politicians worth assassinating. That’s gotta count for something

I might just try that if it doesn’t get better on it’s own

Got some joint pain in my thumb, hope it’s not carpal tunnel. I wonder if there’s any way to make it go away except less computer? I don’t want to less computer.

First distro: Arch

Flying real close to the sun there
