Played two games of baseball today. Both of them victories for the Red Sox.
Game 1: Porcello pitched a complete game shutout and ended up winning 7-0. Thought it was going to be a tough game but got a few lucky breaks. For one of the first times all year I actually had more runs then hits. Their pitcher hit Pearce then Betts send a two run homer over the Monster to make it 2-0. Devers hit a tripple. Bennintendi got another RBI and is seemingly doing better.
Game 2. I was pitching. 8 strong innings. 17 strikeouts, but also gave up 6 hits inlcuding a home run and had two errors behind me. 4-2 was the final. Betts singled, stole second, then scored on a Martinez single then Moreland broke it open with a two-run home run.

It turned out that resource in my previous comment was silver, not aluminum. But the score boost this wonder causes is very nice and who needs more aluminum when you finally can choose a policy that makes your strategic resources double (plus aluminum can be found everywhere)! A demonstration of my southern ocean fleet, another two capitals conquered. What a shame I got 0 score because I couldn't establish my own religion. Soon after this war with Rome is over I need to get into the next continent...

So got lots done in ACOD, nice rainy day so some extra hours of playing was had. So thought I'd finished the quests for Xenia but was wrong so retrieved the Lyre of Apollo and Pans flute. Previously opening "?" and not clearing them has been paying off in terms of not duplicating stuff as visited several sites that I had found but not cleared including two of the much bigger forts Olouros and the one on Mykkonos whose name avoids me ATM. Was really pleased took both down without being discovered including the Leader of the area in Olouros. Anyway returned the treasures to Xenia and got a special reward. Then on to Mykonos which I had totally forgotten about even though its been on my quest log for ages. Cleared all the "?", supported Kyra over Thaletas and even having decided to stay neutral on the romance side of things, Kyra's allure was too strong. This PT Kassandra has been a lot more blunt with people and so after doing all the lead up sub-quests and the Conquest Battle, Kass had no qualms killing Thaletas (he is kind of a dick anyway) and not telling Kyra. Second time around I really think Kyra's romance scenes including the writing and Kyra herself are the best in the game, closely followed by Roxanne's which I still have to do but just not looking forward to that stupid Mountain Battle. Anyway yesterday was also a day of killing many merc's and I mean many as in near on 20. It got to the point where I was killing reincarnated Merc's, well they at least had the same name. These included Doris the something Walker and Eirene The Fashion Soul. Both the above forts attracted at least six each even though no alarm was raised!!!!!! Pic's Poor Thaletas but you are a bit of an idiot and how did he know about Kass and Kyra they'd agreed not to tell him? The Romance Scenery

Wrapped up Mafia 3 mainstory today. All in all, I quite liked it. Think I'll rank it second favorite, with two being the best and first being a close third. But all in all a very enjoyable journey. Notes on the session. Long, spoilery and some pictures. Did play it a bit yesterday, but the mooks had gotten grenades to play with instead of molotovs, and the "Bad apples" like they called them could too easily sneak up on you. So pretty much hard mode if you're drunk. Only notable thing that happened was that I was delivering booze to the hideout when hit men came behind me. Which was a dumb move on their part since I just drove into a warehouse with a bunch of irate Irishmen who liked me more than them. So thanks Burke's men, yah saved mah bacon. Then today was a pretty long session. Wrapped up the busy work in the last three districts and did Burke's and Cassandra's available loyalty missions. Then started wrapping up the bosses. Turns out for the last three missions there are four bosses, two for each racket and then a under and final boss for the district. First did Southtown because I found the rackets there the most boring and figured I'd better get it over with first before doing the more interesting districts. The two racket bosses weren't too notable. But had a problems with the under boss. Partly because I decided driving in the middle of a gunfight was a good idea and secondly because the car the man wanted to get away in was kinda shite. Doubly so when a extra group of mooks had spawned and had good two minutes to wreck the tires before the man decided to get in the car and let me take off...Luckily it broke down after I'd escaped the chase scene and just had to put down two mooks to get a new car instead of six. So thanks for small graces and all. Final boss also gave me troubles, but more of a buggy kind. Had to do some fisticuffs and that made the camera decide to take control of it's own life and steer Lincoln into walls and all sorts of messes. But the fighting went well and was kinda fun. Then there was a really cool escape for chair scene. Except I didn't see the prompt right away and when I saw it it lied to me that I could use w,a,s,d buttons when I could only use w and s. So ended up wasting a lot of time and needing to retry it. So cool concept, had a bit of a problem with the execution. Then the camera was still angry when the shooting parts began, which would have been infuriating if I hadn't been able to just summon Vito's men to help me out. Will take the blame for the last bit of trouble as I should have just called Burke's friends right away instead of trying to outdrive the cops... BUT I did like that the game tried to spice up the gameplay with these bosses and give it props for doing so. And like, visually and story wise those bits were great. Either way, Vito got both the rackets and then ended up controlling the final district. I think he's onto me... Then onto Frisco Fields. Racket bosses were nothing of note and Cassandra got their rackets. Since she's all into weed and...well I figure she'll be the opposite of the slavery stuff... Also, her men made a classy entrance to one of the districts. Then onto the under boss. The mission was okay, nice view and all. Failed spectacularly on being sneaky so had the joy of seeing a bunch of robed ass hats go off running. Underboss got a fitting end at least. The final boss on the other hand was loads of fun. Started by going to a party and having to navigate around without violence. Caused some miscief involving Wine+LSD and seeing the room before and after was a treat. Shoot out was also fun, even if I was disappointed by Lincoln's whole "I don't kill women" spiel. Say that to all the chicks whose head exploded like melons when you were distracted while driving...And all the chicks who've been caught in the crossfire... Luckily the enemy got my back so the lapse in judgement did not bit Lincoln in the arse. Was also a bit disappointed of having to drive the same crappy car as in Southtown. But lost the cops pretty quickly and by the time I could switch cars, only three of the wheels had been popped and the engine was still coughing. Heh. In the end Cassandra got the district and Burke claimed he had to drop a load in a bog, whatever he meant by that... Bit of an interlude with a man with an accent succeeding in murdering Lincoln. On second load he was not as lucky, since that time I had an armored vehicle and called Vito's men early. Also gave him a round of assault bullets in the face before cutscene killing him, just to make a point. Also did all of Vito's favors, so Joe, hope you'll rest easier now my fancy shirted friend. Then onto the French Ward. Drug racket boss had a really nice lair in a cistern under a jazz bar. It had disco lights and stuff. Really nice. And his name was Doc Gaston, so when the game actually crashed after killing him, I could just use it as an excuse to listen to the Gaston song. So real nice. Other racket boss was fairly forgettable. Underboss was surprisingly simple, just needed one bullet in the head when he made the mistake of rolling down the car window. Usually they need a whole magazine at least, so it was a nice change. Final boss was on a boat! So of course I had fun! Well not really, but props for bringing the song up in my mind. But the swamp stalker bit was nice. Final sit down and of course my dear Vito got the district, he was running the rackets after all. Then onto the final mission. First off, the music was on point. Not sure if I just got lucky or it was intended, but the three songs on the way were just perfection. The shoot out was a bit annoying, but nothing too bad. Especially since I could summon Vito's guys to shoot people and get shot instead of me. Felt sad about killing the underboss, but alas, you should have shot twice. Then had a really nice, touching moment with the final boss. Before stabbing him in the gut and kicking him out the window. Bye bich! Then get the final cutscene and make the father proud by picking to leave the town for good. Was planning too either way, but his speech did touch me and the music was just too perfect for it! Watch the credits (or well, let them roll while browsing the phone). Vito ended up ruling the city and living long enough to get old and be able to watch the view with a glass of scotch. Lincoln almost got married to a woman, but alas. ( His heart belongs to Vito. Hehehe). Then Donovan ended the playthrough with a bang! Massive plus points in his direction. So yeah, all in all had a great time with the game (some frustrations aside). Not sure whether to move on to something else next or maybe try ticking off some achivos for Mafia 2.

So yesterday, god I am getting old have trouble even remembering what I did!!!!! Thank god for Screenshots. Alright, so cleaned up some remaining things on Mykonos and then headed off to get the last cultist I had remaining for the Aegean Sea line to reveal himself. That required destabilising the Obsidian Islands and doing all the sub-quests that lead to the battle of 100 hands and then of course the battle of 100 hands itself. So killed The Leader, took down a treasury (?) and reducing The Obsidian Islands to 0% power and then went and spoke to Drakios to get the ball rolling on the battle. Headed off to spar Roxana which was a dawdle but the archery and shooting the wolves was a fail as about six of the wolves just launched straight on to me. Got some snide comment from Roxana but whatever. Then thrashed her on the foot race to "Lovers Leap" and having rejected all the flirt options I couldn't help but accept the last one as I didn't want her to die later on. Did some exploring and took down a group of damn Lynx that was far harder than it should have been even though there were some guards there to help. Anyway headed back to get the battle underway, I hated this battle first time I did it as I melee'd every single opponent. This time was a breeze as with the CRIT build I just Rush Assassinated everyone with one hits until the very last battle against the cultist guards. All to easy and much quicker. Convinced Roxana to not fight and join the crew and then returned to The Adrestia and hunted down the Cultist (Sokos?) and had a relatively easy battle. Pic's Enjoyed killing this guy This guard did a very poor attempt at hiding Beat Roxana in melee with one hit Then thrashed her running Decided I couldn't let her die And succeeded and got a new Lieutenant Then did some sea fighting and Athena shows how to use the pointy end of a spear and Kass also gets on with the death dealing

I finished Okami. For those that have some interest in japanese folklore/mythology, it has some alluring elements. You play as a literal god, Amaterasu, in the form of a white wolf, and fight against Orochi, among other enemies.
The gameplay is somehow unique. There's some of hack n' slash, but to use your powers you have to paint, controling the nature elements.

I'm playing my favorite clan right now at Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines: Malkavian. I gave her the skin of the female Tzimisce from Lenuscas Antitribu mod.I think, I have postetd that skin here some time ago. It's this skin: I have a save right before meeting Andrei the Tzimisce, because I'm planning to play with her the normal way (and choosing the anarch ending) and the Sabbat storyline. I love the Sabbt story from the Clan Quest Mod, because of some unique new characters and you have a lot more interactions with Andrei, who is one of my favorite characters. They even got a very good voice actor to do Andreis new lines. The sad thing playing on Sabbat side is, that you have to kill a few characters, I really like. I won't tell which, because I don't want to spoil it for anyone, who wants to try this really great mod. It's worth for being able to have more conversations with Andrei, but also some of the other quests are quite good. Especially the Gangrel quest, I did like. It did involve Becket - another favorite of mine.

Gave Divine Divinity the Original Sin a poke today. Started a new game since I'd been ignoring a lot of the dialog last time so was pretty lost when it came to the plot. Then restarted again and again because of some minor details that were bugging me. Eventually made it to the town and have been exploring a little, but don't feel like this run will be successful either. Mostly because the bickering between the two Source hunters is annoying me, especially when the game chooses to pick the one I wasn't planning on having speak, like animal dialog triggers with the lass and not the lad, who has the Pet Talk ability. And I don't think you can have them switch roles as speakers, which is infuriating since the little twits have no qualms about piping up when they disagree with something. So basically constantly annoyed at them, which is extra annoying since I do like the personalities.
Then of course venting here did give me the idea to try a new game and giving them no AI and realizing they pipe up dialog either way but I can control them in the conversation. Which does take out some of the annoyance but also ruins some of the novelty. So that's another thing to stew on.
Not sure if I had fun or not, since there were interesting bits but general annoyance seems to overshadow them for me. Still at the same time want to give it another go. So much internal screaming going on.
Also played a bit of Sims 4. And finally there is a trait randomizer. Yay. And a lounge chair! Whooo. So yeah that was fun.

Which does take out some of the annoyance but also ruins some of the novelty. So that's another thing to stew on. I thought it was fun being able to argue with myself while playing both characters since either way, I would win. I stuck with controlling my female archer though. I wonder, when playing co-op, does the game still decide who gets to talk first or do the players fight amongst themselves about it?

I wonder, when playing co-op, does the game still decide who gets to talk first or do the players fight amongst themselves about it? I felt very uncomfortable because I felt I was having multiple personalities. It's a weird sensation. That is one of the reasons why I did not finish my DOS I pt. ***** Book reading phase is tapering off so I played Vampire Masquerade Bloodlines. I think it's the third time I play this game since it launched years ago. Back then, it was janky but with patches and newer PC systems, transition from one zone to another took mere seconds. Went for top of the line; Ventrue. Used a skin mod which I like the look of. I'm pretty much going for a independent ending and as little bloodletting as possible. I've forgotten some of the humour, especially the one about the Nosferatu woman who was formerly a model.

melbella That's actually a great way to look at it. No idea how it works in co-op but figure it would just go by the person who initiated it/person at the top of the character list for auto dialog. --- So did play more Divine Divinity Original Sin. Tried doing the no ai path, but wasn't fully feeling it since having to read and pick two dialog options in a row took my attention from the convo. But decided to try the second part of melbella 's tip, that is just sticking to one of the characters instead of switching between them. So just treating the extra as another npc. Decided to stick with the lad Kraven since we are both door mats and let the lass Aerie spice things up with some Free Spiritness. But also took away her charisma point so we'd have a better chance talking her down if it came to that. So far it's working. We got into the town and got our lovely Bairdotr on the team. Aerie is not having it that Madora and Jahan join the team. Kraven kinda agree's with her on Jahan, since he can't promise he'll never befriend a demon since he hasn't met them all and some of them might be really nice ya know? Madora is less of him agreeing and more of him not being bothered to argue. But both took well to Wolgraff so a team of four is formed. Dialog is also going along nicely, since Got further in the murder mystery and have started braving the dangers outside the gates. In small doses though, but baby steps and such. So far just trying to pick my fights outside since I'm not sure what more I can do inside the gates. Got a lead on the murderer but they've fled to the top of the map and getting there is tricky. Also been keeping off leveling but will probably have to start thinking about it soon. ish. But a good time was had in general, so that was nice.

Finished Vampire Bloodlines. LaCroix went bonkers, Jack had a good laugh, my protag flipped off Nines (I like him though, just didn't want to stick with the Anarchs) and walked off into the night. On the whole, I think the Anarchs are slightly more trustworthy than the Camarilla and Kuei-jin but then, it's better to only trust oneself in this game world. I destroyed the LA Sabbat though no doubt, more sabbat would trickle in from other states and without a doubt, they wouldn't like the protag. But that's all right, she wasn't going to stay in LA. That brings the question of the protag's blood legacy because she had to be pretty near to Caine. Three, four generations away? Chars that I like. Jack, Nines and Beckett.

Glad to hear! I also was less stressed out about rock/paper/scissors when I could win regardless.

Tried out Left 4 Dead 2 with a friend. It was an interesting experience. Ended up dying while fueling a car, with one gas tank left to go. Miiiight have been my fault since I wanted to see if we could revive Ellis first, but then we got swarmed. Neither was interested in trying again.
Then tried out Stardew Valley in co-op. Went through the first two days and had an okay time at least. So it was a fun time.

I've been playing Vampyr recently. And I ran back into the sad saint. He wanted me to spare him, and he convinced me that it was the right thing to do. I decided to go sleep, and lvl myself up. So I go next door, and do just that, get my healing back up to snuff. increase the blood drawn from biting, ect.
And once I rested up, I get a notification that our Mr. Saint turns his mission to a cult. So, I think 'wtf?' and go see him. The front door is barred, and I hear skalls on the other side of the wall. I go around the side, and all the people are dead or turned. So I kill everyone, go see the saint, and he turned too. Like, seriously? I went through that whole ordeal, go see the underground skalls, kill that thing that was attacking them, and you still turn feral? Whats more, that feral can really kick ass. I was able to beat him, after a few times trying. Suddenly I'm very glad I did upgrade my bite blood drain. Cause now I'm needing to rely on my healing to stay alive, and that uses up a-lot more blood.
Fine, lesson learned. Don't let skalls fool you. I go down to see Bridget again, and everyone down there is perfectly fine. No new blood stains, bridget herself isn't making any remarks about what happened. Like...wtf?

Bit of Divine Divinity the Original Sin. Mostly being really annoyed at the combat movement, since it's so easy to click an inch to the left and watch your character merrily blunder towards their deaths. Looking at ALL of you in my team. >:C
Then got interrupted by my friend for some Stardew Valley Co-Op, which was a lot less rage inducing.
Then back to Divinity. Ended up winning the fight I was stuck at. Found a party robot (and killed it with much difficulty, no doing the robot on my watch!). Had to look up how to do it, or well tips in the correct direction. Then ended up fighting him twice after killing him the first time around, since damn it I could do better and I wanted the guys I found to keep breathing. Was not surprised that MLM turned out to be a MLM. Because of course.
Then ended up being annoyed at my companions insistence to murder an old guy on the beach. And don't "Think about the children" with me missy. There are no children in this universe so if he was going to kill them, somebody else got to them first! And he'll be dead by the time the next batch is out of the oven. Think of the children, bah.

So managed to get a fair bit done yesterday. Got Tesikles to the Olympic, well to the wharf anyway then signed up for The Pankrateon and did the first stage. Then remembered I wanted to kill the last cultist in the Aegean Sea line so headed off and did that, again got attacked by several pirate ships who mysteriously rose up out of the sea (literally) and then sank the cultist ship before I could board it. Then back to Elis for the Olympics and did all the quests nearby including the two lovers and killed the fathers, helped the woman who was going to be killed by the priestess and then for the hell of it thought I'd shoot the priestess which I did and surprisingly got no bounty!!!! The bounty's for me are an ongoing source of aggravation as they seem to have no basis in reality. So I stealth a camp, Rush Assassinate a guy and no one sees but suddenly a bounty pops up and the bounty giver is another guard asleep in a tent in the same camp. Then is Elis during the truce for the Olympics I am chasing the kid that steals your drachmae and literally 3 bounty hunters in a row run down the street and I Rush Assassinate all of them individually in front of heaps of people and no bounty. Wiped out a whole bandit camp with RA and there are no prisoners or anyone nearby and get a bounty, its just insane!!!! Anyway I digress. Did the mission to get the antidote for Alkibiades then back to the Pankrateon and defeated the last guy and then went and killed the Cultist dude. Had a bit of time left so then did Alkibiades marriage quest. Pic's Eagle Bearer Three Musketeers Innocent Dead Psycho Priestess and as you can see no one cared and no bounty Thief And the magnificent Testikles if anyone wants to watch it:

I did stick around a while more with my original village in Banished. As I expanded my village, there were new things to learn. I managed to keep it a complete Utopian Paradise at all times . But it was close. I ran into a food crisis. I did everything I could to increase food production, confiscated the traders stock and managed to buy some food too, but there were four years with scary winters & springs it was touch and go. It was further complicated by a lack of fire wood. I paid for the food with fire wood. Still, I've had another three villagers starve to death, but not because of the food shortage. I assigned work so far away from the village that they didn't make it back before they starved to death. One of them died just steps away from food. Another got lost. When you play this game, you get the impression the path finding is very polished and robust. It's not. Build bridges here and there, across rivers close to the village, even if you don't need them. Someone else might. I now have a slight log crisis. (I increased fire wood production ) I expect it to get fixed though, since my fourth forestry should start producing. I'm probably done with this village then though. Seems a good time to leave them.

Ok so last night in Vampyr, something happened which I thought was going to: I met up with my sister. The same sister that you find out he kills in the beginning of the game. And my first thought was 'I knew it!'
I was thinking about how skalls are made by vamps who feed carelessly. Or at least thats how lady whats-her-name describes it. And I was like 'I just woke up, and killed my sister. Could she become a skall?' but then I started to analyze the plot and realized that it would be thematically better if she became a pissed off vamp instead. She is one tough boss fight, let me tell you. She has an AOE where she can spawn an arena full of blood...I guess blisters on stems. They burst, and do chemical damage to me. I've only gotten her down to half health once, so far. I'm thinking I might want to try to do some more exploring, and level up some more. Cause I when she gets down to half health, it seems like the entire arena is full of these things. I can't find a spot to not get infected and die. So I got frustrated, and gave up. I went back to divinity Original Sin 2, and I finally got off the island. The boss fight to get off the island was a tough one too. But I made it. And I think I finished up every single side quest on that island. Tbh, I'm really unclear on how warmages are used in this game. I started the game with our pirate friend saying he was a warmage. But he came equiped with knives. And I kinda need a rogue to pick locks, pockets, sneak around, ect. And that's how I'm building him. But he started as a warmage and its bothering me that I never really figured out how to use him the way his starting class was intended to be used.

DDtOS. Managed to convince Aerie not to murder the old sun tanning man, since well, he's just getting a tan right? Take a moment to rest beside him, just enjoying the sun. Now in hindsight, I should have made Kraven strip to his fancy panties. BUT wearing metal while sunbathing does give you that extra warmth! Reveal the exit and get A WAY BETTER reasoning to kill the old man. But now there is no consideration for the children eh? Take two tries but manage to skip the combat with some charm, bit of reasoning and then more reasoning. Or was it charm? Either way, old man is back on his blanket enjoying the sun. We go inside, murder a young girl, the usual. Initiate combat with a bunch of weakened, but numerous people. Half way into the combat I give up and reload, just sneaking past the lot. Then many, many attempts to kill the boss. Like gosh darn it. Eventually success. Loot the room, try napping on a torture bench. Bad idea. Just because you lay on top of it it isn't a reason to use it Kraven! Also damn it Leandra. First you get turned into a zombie and now you're dragging people down with you... Go back to the other room and murder the people. Took quite a few attempts, but I have save and reload. They don't. Go outside, talk to the old man and he heads off for sunnier beaches. Go back to town and Kraven decides to try and keep the staff another old man wanted, because it might be a weapon of mass destruction and what have you. And who pipes up? Aerie. Yes let's let the senile old man get a staff of mass destruction, who gives a damn about the children when HE's wielding it because you think he's cuddlier than the beach guy. (He's not). Alas she won this round so now he's gone off, twirling his staff. Next the plan is to go to church. Which is filled with venom, oil and fire. Greeeeat. Entered the church, got invited to see a fellow then rudely stopped by some initiates. You heard her you twits, he would have loved to see us! Either way they shut the door and looking for a way to open it I ended up in another area. So probably way off. Explored the area, Bairdotr found a hella sexy troll, but alas we could not introduce them to each other, much to Wolgraff's relief. Found some shrooms, talking and quiet ones. Got a riddle from the chatty ones, and may or may not have reloaded to get the answers right. But the interesting bit was that in the first round, Aerie was a total yes person, nodding to everything. Then picking the same answers on the second try she was absolutely not on board and Kraven had to fight her each step of the way (with her even making threats that she was talking to a dead man! Chill out Aerie it's only riddles! ) Then ended up in an area where the game told me I was sorely underlevelled, so decided to stop the session there and prod it later, probably from an earlier save. But did have fun with the later bits of the session. First bits were real infuriating. Top spot, top pick of the group. To the left Kraven pondering if he left the stove on, Wolgraff sandwiched in the middle feeling dandy, Aerie to the right not having it and Bairdotr in the back since the rest were jerks and didn't want to sit close enough so that she could get a spot.

So very painful but quick session yesterday, had an epic fail as I wanted to bring Achaia nation power down to get the Conquest Battle so I could lure out a cultist. Did the Conquest Battle after doing some stuff in Achaia and then realised it was the wrong conquest battle!!!!! Then went back to taking down nation power in Achaia and went to clear a ship yard and seriously it was broken. Rush Assassinate a guard, all good none of the guards nearby react but suddenly civilians from every where pile on even though I am hidden?????? Had saved before so though whatever will start again. Assassinate a guard from cover and again civilians run from everywhere and guards as well. So killed the guards whilst trying to avoid hitting civvies and then one of the guards turns out to be a cultist - YAY but I then have to run away and hide because I can't confirm the kill with civvies whacking me with wood. Wait for the cooldown on hostilities and go back to confirm the kill and again having not done anything civilians again run in and attack me!!!!! Anyway didn't get the Conquest Battle because I can't find the leader anywhere and there is nothing to do left except kill random guards and it seems to making less impact than normal. Time to move on methinks. Only one screen shot, always feel a bit bad assassinating guards whilst they pee :

^ Why feel bad killing them when they're peeing dazk . Finished Detroit Become human for the second time this time with a walkthrough as i mentioned before waaaaaaay back. And i should have done that the first time ... this time was a "perfect" outcome i kept everyone alive yay. Also finished Shadow of the Tomb Raider for the second time and i think i died a little less unnecessary then in my first PT. But overall a good game that i can recommend to everyone. Rise of the Tomb Raider is still my number one though. I also played and finished Days Gone and had fun not always though but most of the time. Killed a few ( but just a few ) zombies but they killed me to a couple of times. Overall a good game that i can also recommend to everyone who owns a Playstation 4. Then i went back to my first PT of AC Origins and came maybe to half way through the main story line before i had to quit again ... nope this game is not my cup of tea. Also played a little AC Odyssey and finished up my second PT. I now play FC New Dawn the superbloom edition ( that i bought for only 5 bucks for PS4 ) and have me some fun ( again not always though ). the game looks absolutely gorgeous. And this is my new partner she is not perfect and with that i mean her lines she repeats herself way to often.
