My PC struggles a bit with it so i have it on medium graphics and it runs well enough. Only lags a bit when a bunch of explosions happen back to back or there is a LOT on screen.

Probably gona need to upgrade my PC some point in the next few years when i get a new job and build up a decent amount of money, but for now it does its job.

My laptop would chug a bit playing Hardspace, but I've replaced the thermal paste since then and that made a huge difference in performance in playing Warzone.

If you can't accept her at her worst you don't deserve her at her best.


I mean I guess, but her worst is really bad. It's partly my fault when I accidently killed her daughters one by one just because they didn't like light or some shit and kept walking into my bullets, but she just flew into a murderous rage when I just wanted to show her this cool dagger I found and she tripped and stabbed herself. She grew wings and many, many teeth, it just wasn't good.

I have to say at first I was super skeptical about Sea of Thieves. Played it on and off for a while now and it's admittedly something amazing when everything goes right.

Joined a galleon of fun folks, made a fortune with a vault, only using automated text phrases I had to parse out commands because I was the best navigator on that crew and that's not saying much.

Which contrasts painfully so with crews that don't communicate at all. Like, I get that the text phrases aren't too intuitive and that... People somehow miss the Maiden Voyage tutorial, but is it really that hard to figure out what to do.

Pick a flag, pick a quest, don't pick fights if you suck and if you lose don't just blame everyone else in the crew.

Some Dark Syde Phil shit. If greedy CEOs are to blame for 90% of the bad shit in video games, the other 10% is definitely their "I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO" audiences and supporters.

So I finished the next part of the Dark Pictures Anthology, Little Hope. I have some serious beef with the ending.
It was seriously all in his head from a concussion? Like at least in Man Of Medan they were tripping on goofy gas from WW2, but the fact all of this game was a bus driver hallucinating from guilt is just stupid.
I am deeply unsatisfied.

I think I'm going to commit to putting myself through disappointment and sadness for my first ME:L campaign. Soldier class, full Renegade, male Shepard. The completionist within me is already demanding tribute in the form of getting the least fun ways to play out of the way so my experience going forward is nothing but an uphill ride. I don't think I could handle it any other way.

Going back to Battlefield 4 after six months. Absolutely nothing has changed, people are still using cheap weapons/accessories and they are still whining about the cheap weapons/accessories. Been playing on and off for a month and it's still a great game, they even have a double xp event going on.

Decided to play Fo4 for a bit after a year or so.
By which I mean I spent two hours getting 70+ mostly outdated mods to play nice with each other and about half an hour playing the actual game.

Like the rest of the internet, I've been playing Titanfall 2 on account of it being free to play at the moment. It's fun. And I don't care what my teammates keep screaming at me, Scorch is a good Titan and I'll play him as much as I want.

If I have a complaint, it's that what tactical you pick changes your pilot appearance. And I don't like the pilot appearance for Stim. Looks like a cheap robot.

So I finished Halo 2 on Heroics with some skulls on. It feels good and rewarding enough for me, I suppose. I ain't that hardcore, anyway, and like I said, I don't like to rely on exploits.

Now just to play it on Easy and screw around in the game. That's the fun half of it!

Titanfall 2 is really, really fun! I'm glad you gave it a try. The campaign is pretty nice too, if you manage to buy the game and you have more time for the campaign.

..Pretty much, yeah. :lol2:

Normally I don't use a lot of mods, but I like the settlement building aspect, and you kinda need them for that, because of how limited the base game is.
