I think I just had the worst possible FTL run with the best amount of potential. Tier 3 Hacking. Tier 3 Cloaking with Stealth Weapons. Ion Blast 2. Combat Drone 2. I legitimately don't understand how this build failed beyond the game being the biggest RNG bitch I've ever seen, the missed shots were completely out of control. The final phase was down to one tiny little pip and my Combat Drone missed when it counted the most.* I didn't even have the dignity to die to an attack, of all places, my fucking Med-Bay blew up.

Losing opportunities at critical moments happens regularly enough, but never has it been more true than in this run. Usually I get mad at this sort of thing, but I've transcended mad and have simply become impressed at the dedication of the RNG demons this day.

I only used Strong so he could carry all my stuff for me and soak up bullets, because he's not good for much else. I get tired of hearing him whine every time I pick a lock though.

I feel like VTMB would've been game where those ridiculous Acrobatics of earlier TES installments would've suited well.

Got the C&C remastered collection on steam, all delicious 90s cheese. Red Alert was one of my favourite games as a kid, nice to play it again.

So I just bought Battlefront 2 for like 15 bucks and after hours of downloading I have begun playing it and honestly I am shocked about how fun it is. Like after all the lootbox shit I was prepared to be let down but no the game has really turned around.
I do be tired
