This game is unplayable out of the box on modern hardware. My monitor refresh rate is too fast for it, which leads to the character I'm controlling getting stuck after combat 90% of the time. So random, everything else is fine. Unfortunately, I can't seems to get any of the workaround to work outside save/reload which gets annoying fast. So I decided to mod it more to see if I can get the FPS to fall below 60 fps. Do you use Nvidia? If so you can set the max. FPS in the Nvidia Control Panel

I dipped deep into the well and pulled out Assassin's Creed Unity. I'd been messing around on my 100% save file for a few days. Today, I decided to start a fresh playthrough on my newer PSN ID. (The old one bears a name I'd long wished I could change.)
Arno survived a year of Assassin training and killed his first target, Charles Gabriel Sivert, in a confessional in Notre Dame. I'd forgotten that we then have that Abstergo "server sweep" to escape, so I ended up playing longer than intended. Next, I'll focus on some of the Cafe Theatre missions and some CoOp Missions (in Private) in order to accrue income and XP. The next assignment from the Council is to identify, locate and "bring peace" to the Rois de Thunes.
I joined my own Club (which is 3354 days old, today), headed by my Legend on my other PSN ID. I think membership will grant me some Creed Point perks once I complete a CoOp mission. Alas, I don't have any of the unlocked gear that I earned by winning Club Competitions in 2015. I'll have to buy my gear. I recall that I only upgrade twice, from starting to a mid tier to legendary, in order to save livres. I can't recall, though, which intermediate pieces I favored, so I'll need to reacquaint myself with it.
I don't intend to delve too deeply into the Animus Glitches or Nostradamus riddles. I plan to complete the main story, including all the CoOp missions (which I thoroughly enjoy), fully unlocking all skills well before the end. I don't know if I'll play "Dead Kings" DLC. I was never a big fan of it.

There are multiple FPS limiter option I tried directly in Steam launch command and none fixed the issue.
I also nuked the entire install now. It stopped loading after installing some other mods. I'll try again tomorrow with a fresh installation, it's bed time now.

Dang it!!! Not the horse! Not the horse!!!!!! You know that moment when a dear companion loyally supported you all the way, been with you through your journey, tried to comfort you in your moments of grief, walking till its last breath before finally collapsing.
I had chosen the name Sora, or Sky, for the horse which is black. I never expected this. It's heartbreaking. It always is when a loyal companion dies. especially animals because they give their devotion wholeheartedly.

KoTORI totally don't remember how to build a character in this. It will comeback eventually. Easy. Dump everything into DEX/WIS
Btw, you can always limit the FPS with programs like RTSS, Nvidia Control Panel, etc.

I finished up the Werewolf Book of hungry names. I think out of all the choice/hosted games I've gone through this would rank last. Overall it felt very disjointed in how the story was told and it never really managed to pull me in. Def not a recommendation at the regular price, maybe on a deep discount if you like that setting/lore.

Baldur's Gate III Am currently wrapping up the Underdark in Act 1. Still have to complete the Rescue Mayrina quest. After that comes the hard part getting through act 2. I've only completed the game once and have had several discontinued subsequent playthroughs. Also I have sated my curiosity with Minthara. I have watched several of her cutscenes on youtube, and I do find her interesting. She is the stereotypical Drow but she has some redeeming qualities. Don't get me wrong she is still evil but there were some scenes with her that were uncharacteristic of a Drow. Like the scene when she opens up to Tav and the deleted scene when she sort of but not really apologizes to Halsin for massacring his grove. She has some funny moments and her banter with Gale reminds of Alistair and Morrigan. Lastly her voice actress is really good.

SWTORI did my weeklies and conquests on 2-3 characters. Some personal conquest left to accumulate, I'll finish that tomorrow. Weeklies reset on Tuesday so, I got time. I did do some more Shadow of Revan on my very neutral Consular too. She caused some trouble for some pirates (destroying their weapons stash and freeing their slaves) and now she's gearing to go visit their main local base. More mayhem awaits! KoTORI fixed my " refresh rate cause character stuck after combat" problem...and it ended up being super stupid . I had set the refresh rate in the display settings to 144 manually Sunday basically right once the Linux installation was done. That was the root of my stuck issues. I reduced it to 60 it was at before I changed it. I play in 1920x1080 anyway, 60 Hz should be fine.
But I discovered a way to get Anti-Aliasing in the game (the game's version is broken) and get a fullscreen mode* despite being windowed so I guess looking for a fix wasn't for naught. I also installed the community patch and the widescreen one.
*I'M just using a linux tool to do AMD FSR, but with the same base and final resolution that has a few shortcut to do things like set fullscreen. The image is very crisp and almost no jaggies. Even textures looks good, I don't feel like I need a texture mod anymore.
So yeah! Tomorrow I'll start a proper character.

Horizon Forbidden WestOne of those funny things that does happen in games from time to time. The game is opening up. You can go whervever you want depending on level, actively explore, start really diving into things. Me: Instantly turns Aloy around to head back to Barren Light. So lightning round, hopefully, of things that I have learned and realized for the first time now. Figured out how to and that the game has a trans mog system in it. I kind of like the current armor kind of so we will see. Though side note I do find the Carja armor kind of funny. Figured out how to do the 'Valor skill's and figured out the globes aroudn it represent upgrades to the skills which I didn't know so ended up spending more points then I intended to on one of them but now I know. Now figuring out the good times to use...well both abilities and the right time to use the Valor abilities and what not especially given their limitations but right now I was practing on the 30% range bonus and the 5 % heal bonus found in the Hunter tree because that just sounds more practical...not sure how much its actually helped me out yet. Figured out and trying to come to grips with the inventory and stash mechanics a little more. Its a bit weird but kind of acceptable way of doing things because I have imagined similar mechanics for like a Ghost Recon or a ME even. But it has even weirder application when it comes to health with your health pouch and what not first you have your regular health pouch and then you have additional health berries in your inventory and THEN your stash. Complicating this too its not always just one berry will get you all the way to full health but it will keep draining your berries to get you to full health. Was trying to figure out why my health berries were draining 2 or 3 at a time and where they were all going and what was happening...ohhh. That also adds the strategic implications for the health potions on top of that especially since they can over clock your health doing it so that really adds a lot of give and take. And finally for the food bits and well this kind of food mechanics in games which give you optional buffs I prefer and think its a great idea because it gives games the options to go into hard core survival mechanics, but also not, and yet makes the food more valuable and can do different things then just add health which then health pots usually are way more effective then food in the games that have them. So its a great idea to make food actually a part of the game BUT few games who have done it, in my experience, does it right. Food really isn't that valuable. So far I haven't done it because I haven't figured out how but the food actually does seem to do some pretty unique things. Of course hunting all of it down could still be a limiting factor...but we will see. On the combat front I have been getting a little...sloppy/ unlucky. Has not resolved into a death yet but still having some close and weird calls. Underestimated the escorts in a machine site, and then blew the stealth approach to two of the raider camps basically. Second time it was funny because stopped outside figuring I was safe but had to do something on my phone so stopped to do that then heard, essentially, 'hey its her!' So that resolted in a bit of a massive rolling battle. Second thing which happened there is that I let an Oseram worker out of captivity and he joined me in battle...yey...but I do not get any credit for their kills, so the bitch stole three of them on me, including the leader! But there is enough in this game where I am not sure it'll matter too much long term just something to keep in mind. Other complication here is that I have been going heavy into the infiltration tree because it makes sense and even seems to have some great abilities in it. But I don't have a lot of stuff for my sharpshot bow yet, in terms of arrows, and I'm not the best at it yet. Plus I am finding once again the 'hunter bow' to be the most enjoyable of the three styles, granted haven't used a light bow in combat, but this part is carrying on from AC basically. Prefer the middle 'assault rifle' style to the sniper style or the SMG style, as it were. Going to have to keep track of things to because seems the Hunter tree also has some great abilities to. ANd then do that stuff. Other then that the side quests continue to impress. Like the first game the side quests were pretty descent all and all but much like with DA 2 I don't think I was left with like a loving opinion of them. But right now the side quests here have their own arcs in various ways and well even the rebel camps seem to be dropping bits of lore and further stories which just continues to flesh out the world. The bad news for me is I am going to have to be a lot more diligent about spoilering my spoilers. Shadows of the Past (side quest)So the Shadow Carja is a thing that is still running around and the prisoner ended up being in the right and there was a little bit of a Shadow Carja conspiracy.
Worse still it wasn't their only base and the Eclipse have also been trying to rebuld their army by 'going into the west' from the Sundom. Do wonder how the Tenakth and their rebels will react to that. Eastern Lie (Rebel Camp)So this is interesting. First little throw down with the Rebel Tenakth since the Embassy and it got crazy for a second as I mentioned...
But even more interesting they had audio logs within the command tent which showed the Tenakth talking with an uknown third party...teaching them to ride machines. Definitley not Sylens. Now based on what I *do* know I wonder if its...well Far Zenith and their descendents. I do forget that detail from the game. And well it is also nice to hear that it isn't Sylens either per se or at least adding that little bit of nuance there.
Even nicer though is that Aloy didn't be like 'well these people MUST be working for Sylens to'. Which admittedly is still a possibility but at least she is not being railroaded into being too dense.
Ghost Recon BreakpointStarted to do the Resistance live event with the wifey to get the strike launcher. While A. didn't know I could replay it till recently and B. didn't have much of an opprotunity to do so...I kind of wish that I knew about being able to do this earlier and could have done it because that would've made things so much easier but then it kind of does make sense given the story. Like at this point Walker is wiped out so the story is over, Sentinel is on the ropes, so Sentinel desperatley launches an attack on the Outcasts and they then desperatley launch a counter attack which will then draw in more reinforcements. The weird thing about this though is that it does not really last. Your reinforcements don't really stay active if the live event itsn't active so if we move onto episode 2 and 3 eventually, which we probably will, then we won't have constant gun fights between Snetinel and the Outcasts, especially as we go after Stone for the final time. But the Resistance is just super fun me and the wife were having a bit of a blast. Only thing we had trouble on was the first convoy mission but we've been able to clear out each one of the hostages and hit two of their bases with little problem. It did get tense for a second but during one of the hostage rescue ops we woke them up so they actually started 'clearing the base'. And were getting closer and closer...but we coordinated pretty accurate fire when we could get one of them alone as we whittled them down. Also always tough wanting to use both the 416 and the Barret both cool weapons but you can only use one at a time. I can see dual wielding two 416s...but a Barret and a 416? Not likely. Though I did discover that you can one shot a helo with the armor piercing ammo equipped to.

Act I. I was trying to stay samurai. Act II. Still trying to stay samurai. Act III. I'm not bothering to challenge the Mongols any more. It's pointless. I just run straight in and slaughter them any way I can.
The honour code / system of the samurai cannot be applied. I should think it works very well against a single nemesis, a small band and generally protecting the innocent against those who prey on them. In wars? No. Not when the opponent is working on a different set of principles and know how to turn that honour code against the samurai, leading the samurai to dash themselves to death hopelessly. Of course the samurai are too hidebound to see the failure.

Ghost Recon Breakpoint
Kind of a sad day in a way but one I should not be too surprised by.
We started off by wrapping up the Resistance arc. Basically like four missions roughly.
Just only real noteworthy stuff I guess is first mission we ran rescuing hostages it did screw us over good. I think these live events can get quite buggy and given their nature Ubisoft does not have real incentive to actually fix them, it was acting odd. But the highlight was I was sneaking up on a guard trying to clear the perimeter...and then the fecker instant transmissioned all the way and just dissapeared. Got the 'you are about to be seen' alert and then it was literally the same guy who popped up right behind me to see me, shoot me, and that spoiled things. Second time we got it and started to clear the base from the out to the in and using a lot of synch shot drones. No real qualms about cheating when it cheats you.
Next set of missions was the whole thing with stopping convoys. This time we decided to have air support, she was in the helo and I was on the ground triggering the quest. First mission was kind of fun in that regard. She fired, I fired, and that was basically it. Must've been secondary explosions or something. Next mission though was fun because with her flying air support and getting the shot off I was fearing I wouldn't get any action but the foliage blocked her shots so I was able to get three rockets give or take to blow them away. Still fun.
Then afterwards started off doing Deep State...and bit of a story but only got one mission in. Met with Victor Coste. Met with Sam Fisher. Helped Sam infiltrate a base and had the same situation from last time where I had to defend him because they traced the signal so there were a LOT of badies outside waiting for me. Still we fought through it...and just having a super amount of fun.
Right around this time to, actually before but whose counting, the wife got a little trigger happy with rockets. Started off with a convoy got trapped because a Sentinel vehcile stopped in the middle of the road. I was like 'hey honey check-' *whoosh explosion* Did you? *another explosion* Then trying to get through with all the finding of the next location. Funny how little of the map we've discovered...but just watching her tear off on foot after the sentinel dune buggies firing rockets as they went. Quite amusing to watch.
Anyways though discovered something annoying. Forgot that Deep State was a paid DLC and just the first mission was free. Me nor her, at least for now given the circumstances, feel like buying said DLC. At least for now...I guess. So that does provide a sad note because seems our DLC adventures, at the very least, are going to come to an end and Breakpoint in general. Now I am pretty sure Conquest Mode was a free update and then for some weird reason Red Patriot is working without any warnings that the content will be cut off...but won't be surprised in at least the case of Red Patriot. So that will be interesting to move forward.
But in kind of a twist...well I am feeling like I was with Hockey...just something that started off and then continues and I feel a bit stuck.
After this started on back with fem Nomad. And the idea was to I had Deep State on my PS5, and it gives me a chance to have cutscene action with AWR/Fem Nomad so that is a bonus. Decided to dress her in super secret sequirel crap, changed out the vest, got her in the leather jacket which looks neat at least, black camo or straight black pants, ballcap, vest.
For missions did two of them. The one with us finding out more information on just what CLAW was which involved us stupidly blowing up Fisher's mines with bullets. I hate this mission really. Stupid set up...just why. And then the mission where I help that guy sabotage the work he did on CLAW after they killed his wife.
First mission did involve some neat RP. Kind of have the idea where she has the 416 Scout for distance shooting and out in the open and the P90 for clearing buildings with its full auto and larger mag capacity, of course they use the same bullet supply in this case so might try and find a different SMG. ANyways though it did work out rather nicely for here though and had a situation where I think one of my people went down and so I had to clear the room. But then to get to the next area had my people going hot at that moment so they were charging along the lower part of the bridge and I had Fem Nomad just on the top of the area just plugging away with shots from the Scout above them.
NExt mission was the escort of the guy ultimatley then had to defend him from a Sentinel counter attack. Helicopter and a drone showed up, all three of my team went down so I had to flank him and then deal with the drone. I tanked everything like a boss though and took a real cool picture mid explosion.

Starfield
Yesterday I started my second playthrough of Starfield. In my first playthrough I did not really stick to any type of rp I just explored as much as possible and joined some factions whether it made sense or not. But this time I am going to rp as a United Colonies citizen and join the factions and do the quests that benefit them. I Completed the tutorial section and the first mission where I had to find a leader of the Crimson Eclipse. Landed on New Atlantis and am going to head to Constellation's HQ.

SWTOR7.5 update has dropped. I don't have any character far enough into the story to do that part, but I could start the "Spring festival" on a character. I also finished my conquest stuff for the week.
My BH advanced her story on Tatooine. She found her "rival" and he didn't exactly made the best decisions. I think Tatooine is the lowest point of the BH story. The chase after the con man who join your crew isn't fun to do. You can't even kill the guy properly!
KoTOR
Zalbaar/Mission isn't exactly the best combo for the Vulkar base. :/ And I forgot to do a quick save right before the "boss" fight to get the gizmo and I have quite a bit to redo now. Boooo!
I need to remember to put those shield on...

At this rate all future Bioware games will be half done and modders need to rescue it for free.

SWTORPlayed a bit my BH on Tatooine. Still some stuff to do there before leaving. I also switched to Mercenary. I like it better than Gunslinger. KOTORI did a lot. Wrapped all the side quests, killed all wandering enemies, became a Mysterious Stranger, won a Swoop race and "freed" a Jedi. I had forgotten how dysfunctional the party was at the start of this game. Just a bunch of people snapping at each others. I want to throw them all off the railing on upper Taris...but I'm going for full Light Side!

GoT
Finished the main game. Next is the DLC and to clear away the remaining Mongols on the island.
The ending is emotional but I didn't flip back and forth undecided. Moreover I had seen the end a couple of years ago and know what's the cannon ending according to the director of the game.

Ok, we now head over things and discover Mother Sphere just might be something she wasn't what we thought as knowledge is being locked away:
