Woah I am late 3H is my 3d Fire Emblem game. Started wth Awakening and then did Fates, first Conquest and then Birthright. Never did revelations, youtubed it in the end and was pretty happy with that decision. My initial house in 3H was the Black Eagles, was the house that caught my attention first but even then I had to put the controller down and think for a while as the first playthrough always is a bit special. Also managed to play through both the Golden Deer and Blue Lions routes and booooooy did I not expect to fall so completely for the Lions as I did. Dimitri is a very precious boi ^^ it's alright ^^
for Fates I've so far only finished Birthright, I've yet to do a Conquest playthrough, I've also tried doing a Revelations one but eh *shrug* didn't really get into it
I'm currently replaying Awakening, and maybe I'll wait for the Switch Lite to be released and buy that to play Three Houses

I'm currently replaying Awakening, and maybe I'll wait for the Switch Lite to be released and buy that to play Three Houses It was pure chance that I played Conquest first. Always been a bit weak for the colour purple I suppose. and Awakening is always a good game to replay. Can never spend enough time with that cast of characters!

More Witcher 1
Roaming the Fields/Murky Waters/Lakeside areas in the midst of the noonwraith quest, Alvin following along at times. He doesn't seem quite as annoying this time around, maybe because I was expecting it? Decided to not turn in the centipede carapace contract to the elven crafter since he uses them to make armor for when the elves attack later on. Also not bothering to talk to Toruviel.
Cleared the Fields crypt (twice, since the game crashed first time I exited causing me to have to redo the whole area). I'm making sure to avoid progressing the Lady of the Lake quest since last time I did that and it forced me into the next chapter before I was ready.
Still fighting the inventory space limit. I think I have more potion/bomb/coating recipes this time, so I have more mixtures I'm lugging around, leaving not much room for other stuff. Also, why is there a space limit on ingredients?

So the Show: Lets see here...three games...three wins. Seems I finally got my offense going once more for a chance all up and down the line up. I don't have a single cold person in my lineup anymore. Granted very few people are actually considered hot...but there are a few people who are putting together some pretty strong recent performances. Xander Boegarts is like 7 for his last 8 against Colorado with 4 RBIs, Christian Vazquez finally woke up out of his cold streak...his average had fallen all the way into the .260s with 4 RBIs of his own. Holt had a hit and a two run home run getting him off his bad streak. Bennintendi had an RBI, Martinez is up to 109, Betts had 3 RBIs and is up to 100 Runs scored which is something good IRL. This also gave me an excuse to put in a lot of people in as reserves so I can rest people up and distribute my at bats before the post season. For pitching trying to do the same thing...but having little luck with it. Strasburg is finally up to 20 wins after pitching eight innings and giving up a run. Porcello gave up 2 runs over 6 innings and then Price I think...had the same stats. So yeah...there is all that. In New Vegas: Got a lot of crap done which was really nice. But the big news is...well first off got into the Strip...But the Big News is I actually got a .50 BMG Anti Material rifle! Its a bolt action (at least for now) but man its a lot of fun. I also have like 10000 caps after all of this still which is really nice...certainly not hurting for money. I was able to knock back super mutants with it and blow off arms of Legionarres. Only complaint is I got one shot in vats and I have a hell of a scope sway with it...so gonna have to figure out a way of getting more vats and less scope sway. So it takes a while to get a shot off but when I do...incredible flying super mutants and or body parts. So as for what I actually did the first order of business was to find the last companion after getting Rex fixed up. Raul in this case. First off running all the way up Black Mountain and killing Super Mutants along the way...with my BMG ...Also when trying to sneak with Neil I ended up ignoring his plan and the Nightstalkers snuck up on me and bashed me...so I killed them all at close range quite easily. Quest ended with me following my wife's advice to try and do the nice quest ending...and I ended up pissing tabitha off...so much for listening to Wifey Afterwars it was time to get all the companions in the Lucky 38. Though I must say...Cazador's are fast and sucky, and then I got distracted by investigating some of Cass's carvan friends. Though at the end of the day got to the 38 and am about to head out for greener pastures in Utah.

Fire Emblem Awakening So the other day I played the first side chapter, gaining Donnel as a new unit the fun thing with Donnel is...he starts out as a weak villager, but depending on how you build him he can eventually one shot enemies without breaking a sweat After that I also played chapter 4, aptly named "the two falchions" arriving in Ferox we learn that the Khan we contacted (named Flavia) lacks the authority to grant Chrom and his people the alliance they were hoping for. However, she also states that if they win the current tournament in her favor, she will be able to grant it. So Chrom agrees to have himself and his Shepard's fight on her behalf In the arena we learn that "Marth" (from chapter 1) is championing the other Khan, and that we have to defeat him in order to win.
Cue the cut-scene where Chrom learns "Marth" has the same sword he does, which is confusing since according to everyone there's only one sword like it. "Marth" also seems to know all of Chrom's moves, copying them seamlessly. Chrom inquires where "Marth" learned how to fight like he does, with the latter stating his father taught him to do so ...so let's see, Chrom and Marth have the same sword, Marth knows his moves...and they both have blue hair...coincidence? I think not (but more on that topic in future chapters)
Eventually we're able to defeat Marth's team, granting us the alliance between Regna Ferox and Yllise. Before the team leaves the other Khan named Basilio grants Chrom and his Shepard's another team member, his former champion Lon'qu. Lon'qu being a myrmidon...which is pretty much a speedy swordsman
Arriving back in the capital Emmeryn is overjoyed to hear of the alliance, but the cheer is short lived as Emmeryn's lieutenant Phila comes bearing bad news. King Gangrel of Plegia has attacked a border village, destroying it and kidnapping the local lord's daughter. Lissa exclaims that this daughter must be her friend Maribelle, with Chrom vowing to bring her home. As the group makes preparations to leave, they're approached by Ricken, another member of the Shepard's who asks to come along.
Chrom explains to Ricken he can't come on the mission since he's to young, but something tells me Ricken is as stubborn as his lord, so we'll likely see him soon
So anyway, next chapter we'll be going to safe Maribelle, who's another healer (though she's a mounted one called a Troubadour), and we'll also be gaining Ricken as another unit (him being another mage who's initially equipped with a wind tome which is effective against flying units)
Several of the characters gained some level ups in these two chapters, and I was able to unlock some more support levels as well least of all which support level B between Chrom and Mystra...gotta love their supports Chrom: *walks in on Mystra bathing* uhm, why are you naked? Mystra: gee I don't know...but maybe you could wait OUTSIDE?!!! Chrom: ...well...sh*t *starts falling in love*

Finished Crysis 2. The ending was no surprise considering several ingame hints. It was interesting to see how during several levels Alcatraz's heart was pounding so much as if barely holding up. Then after some certain event the heart wasn't to be heard anymore, but the suit got even more of a personality. Somewhat subtle, but still noticeable story touches. Gameplay wise I think the last levels got a bit too much for me. Maybe even repetitive. Same enemies, same fights. The stealth enemies were a welcome change, but they made only a short appearance and seemed overtuned to my taste. But when the game offers you an EMP gun out of nowhere right before an encounter, you kinda figure out the tactic. I also had the module for "warn about stealth enemies", but no idea what good it did. Nanovision was all I needed.
So, to the next Cry engine game...and it's not Crysis 3. The first two games burned me out a bit and with my anticipation of Greedfall I wanted to dive into that "new RPG" feel once again. So my backlog offered between DOS 2 and Kingdom Come Deliverance. Well, isometric is not what I want just now and went KCD. The game was gifted to me by my brother as since he thought it's "my genre", but I haven't touched it yet because of the reviews I read and my fear it is too much of a Middle age simulation instead of a fun RPG.
So, first KCD steps - optimization. I hear now it's better than before, but still KCD runs like crap for the overall not really cutting edge graphics it offers. The developers obviously did a great job in creating a really nice atmosphere and putting a great detail in just about everything I saw so far, but this is more about work put into world building and should not equal graphic intensity. The country side looks awesome (if there are no NPC's to ruin the view with their weird movements), but this is something that could and was being done with the same engine for at least 5 years on weaker hardware. But as I am in the PC Master race league, mods are available to help with the proper configuration and finally I managed to put the game on mostly Ultra while running stable 60+ FPS going as far as 100+ sometimes, except in certain city areas where it drops close to 55. The 30 FPS cutscenes kill me though. And here is something that I keep noticing lately - the cutscene quality looks much worse compared to the ingame graphics. I played KOTOR, Crysis 1-2 just now and it's quite obvious (especially with KOTOR, but those cutscenes are probably in 540p or whatever it was back then for consoles). I guess Crysis and KCD has their cutscenes rendered in 1080p/30FPS so when coming from 1440p/60+ FPS gameplay - it is a way too obvious quality drop. And I recall when I wondered if we will ever be able to get a game with the cutscene quality of Crysis and similar titles
KCD gameplay - obvious Elder scrolls and Witcher influences (mostly Elder scrolls though). The simulation part is obvious, but not as annoying as I feared. Again - PC Master race has mods to remove some of the worst crap (limited saves? no bow reticule? terrible lockpicking? awful inventory?) The food/sleep stuff is not bad. But how 10 apples equal a slice of bread is a mystery I don't think there is a penalty for going pure vegan, so for now that is what my Henry is. Mostly because of the shop meat prices. But I am just at the quest where he learns hunting. We'll see...
The "you are useless peasant" thing is quite another matter The prologue of the game seems like the Medieval version of "A million ways to die in Bohemia". And Henry died a lot. Mostly because I stubbornly tried to explore instead of sticking to the intro railroading. So just about any fight was a death sentence. Cumans, bandits, they all manhandled poor Henry without him getting even a dent in their armor. For reference, I did the Theresa DLC (mostly on accident) and that peasant girl in her nightgown (cuz stealth was better that way for some reason) was 5x the fighter Henry is. The "you know nothing, can't do nothing" trope is a bit too much for me, but I am at a stage of the game where Henry starts to build up his skills at last.
And oh, man, those prices for just about everything... Fuck those traders. No wonder one of the peasants claimed he had a good life because he manages to put food on the table AND buy the wife a scarf every once in a while... Obviously Henry had to turn to the life of crime. It was not by choice, but by necessity. And I won't change my stance on the subject. It's not my fault you sleep while Henry walks by (you should also put better locks than "Easy" ones on your door, cheapskate). And why do you keep so much stuff in your pajamas anyway? I haven't found the equivalent of the "bucket tricks" from Fallout, but I do fine without it. Hilariously Henry was enlisted in the City Guard to help with the rising refugee crime. If the authorities just jailed Henry, all the crime rates would have fallen by 98 %. I got a city tour by a guard and all the time I was just "Oh, yeah, this house, robbed it. That house, been there. The tavern - already sold everything which wasn't nailed inside. The smithy? Damn "Very hard" lock, but I am getting there. Robbed this schmuck you just talked to. No need to go to the city square, nobody has even a dime in their pockets anymore. Oh, and while we were passing by the church, I already emptied your pockets too, Mr. Guard". While on the subject - how the hell does a guard know which item in your inventory is stolen? How is this stolen roasted chicken wing any different from the two others I have?

Finished Assassin's creed main story with my bro. Enjoyed Alexios so much ! I was also quite moved by the powerful family dynamic, especially the ending. I don’t remember feeling such thing since DAII, with Carver or Bethany as brother or sister. Kassandra was so cute when she shed a tear ! I’m now waiting Greedfall that got my interest, giving me a DAO vibe, which I haven’t felt for years. I have a good feeling about this game. In the meantime, I’m doing a new playthrough with Fallout 4, with my new character, Josh. Young father, lucky husband in a new America at peace. Hard hands, soft heart, sharp mind. Loving music, dancing, but above all, enjoying beauty of earth, peaceful moments and life. Proud but bitter veteran soldier despite his numerous medals of honor. Now free of duty and death, to his great relief after years of an useless bloody war against China he survived. With the terrible taste of an unbelievable waste in his mouth, too much blood on his hands, having also lost two brothers among millions of other random compatriots like them. Bitter is his mind, guilt is his daily life, without flavors are his dreams. His only joy, his lovely wife, his baby, his house, trying to adapt to his new life as if he was reborn, with a new chance offered to him, trying to forget the horrors of the past. Bitter. That is the word. Josh used to be nationalist at first.. young, innocent and rash.. truly believing he was in the right, that they had the absolute truth and good was at their side against the enemy. If you listen to him today, about his experience as a soldier... You won’t surprisingly hear him praising patriotism anymore, as silent as a crypt on such topic. You won’t hear him praising his country above all anymore. You won’t hear him praising the Army and the Generals. You would never hear him blaming the chineses for the responsability of that war or bragging about the number of enemies killed like others. No. He would rather defend ferociously human life and spit vigorously against violence. He would rather condemn the agressive thoughts of nationalism and self preservation to the detriment of others. He would rather value education, and children above all growing in a world at peace where empathy and love still mean something, where humans would try to understand each other, help each other and live together in spite of difficulties. A world stable and at peace, their most precious treasure. What so many had forgotten and taken for granted. What America and China had forgotten. Bitter he was. War transformed Josh, war showed him the ugly face of humans. He knows now who is the Real Enemy. The evil instincts of humans. Still, nowadays he was almost living the american dream, deserving a bit of happiness with his wife after the nightmare. He fought bravely for his country after all. Now enjoying peace, like in a classic movie…. Just lacked the dog and it was perfect. But he got at least the Robot. However.. it was too beautiful to last… Not enough drama in his life surely. Everything is about to change for him…. Again.. Everything is about to change for everyone..

Booo, come on Crysis 3 has some great maps and you'll rip through it. Also you get to do a plane dog fight with Pscho flying and then there is the bow you get to use as well !!!!!! Had a rough time in Crysis 2 yesterday, wasn't feeling great but also did the map where you have to demolish the building and I had completely forgotten how to play it and so was pretty full on.

Today was the day where I played the meta game amusing myself by watching the reactions of people that wanted Classic World of Warcraft being upset at long queue times to get into Classic World of Warcraft.
I also made sure that Assassin's Creed Odyssey was all patched for I have the upcoming long weekend to myself and going to try to get some time in the game.

So for the past month pretty much the only game I’ve been playing is Fire Emblem: Three Houses. I finished all four of the routes and am currently doing replays of it.

So New Vegas: Was going to go up to Utah and then I found out you couldn't bring your companions...and then I had to have a 75 weight limit to even go..which really sucks. And would probably mean I would have to pack away my toys...which is not something I want to do since I just got some of these toys...so I am off to go do other things. Like finally get a lead on Benny which stupid me I went there and then I let him go even though Wifey warned me it was an ambush and could've seen it coming... fortunatey I had Rex there so he are all the assailaints up. Then took off after him...he escaped and I met Yes Man though who let me in on Benny's plan and opened up the next 'Act' in the game for me which is eerily reminiscent of Origins. Anyways still going to try and find Benny because I did give him a chance...sort of...even though I was hoping to decide what to do with him...today.
MLB the Show: One game. Won 6-1. Great game all and all. I pitched 7 shut out innings and since the Sox have pretty much locked up the division at this point I am really resting my people and giving them some time off when I build a lead and trying to not give my pitchers too many innings. Which worked out. I was surprised that I had thrown only 94 pitches in 7 innings so I tried to send...me...out there for one more...only to give up a single immedietly and so I went to the Pen who got me out of it. It was funny though first inning runners on first and second with one out. JD was up. And he launched one to left field, my runner didn't inititially advance so I was hesitant and wasn't sure if it would be caught, as it became more obvious it wasn't going to be and would split the outfielders I was panicking and sending the baserunners...because that control seems to be very...hinky...and then suddenly Vazgersian screamed "GONE"for a three run home run. Betts would hit a two run home run later and Pearce would add the sixth run with a single.

Played some multiplayer stuff with my cousin again. Civilization V, FIFA 17 & 19, Tekken 7 and now recently Micro Machines V4 added to it.
Note: MMv3 was actually pretty fun
Also found my old GTA1 CD, the version that can actually run on Win 7. Plus it has Dos mode too that can be run on DosBox. The first city is nice, but I love the 2nd. The 3rd is too crazy! And had some Heroes V Necropolis campaign advancement too, but not enough to make screenies. OK this is where I'm stuck! Until raising enough army to beat these Titans.

POE II Deadfire More god dialogues. Really, do you have to drag me into your discussions when I'm just the fly on the wall? All the gods except for Berath seemed to fear Rmyrgand for he is the god of death, famine, plague and bad luck. I suppose he could end them? Berath being the god of death, cycles, doors stand on the same level as him I guess. They're both gods of death but death under Rmyrgand is permanent whereas Berath has the power of renewal, hence she stands in less awe of him, I suppose. That's pretty much the reason why I opted to ask Eothas to give a fraction of his power to Berath in previous PTs. Of all the gods, Berath seems more staid and practical, not prone to hissy panic sly arguments and also seems to be the de facto leader or the one leading the gods. That said, I doubt I'll be changing that choice since chaos was reduced under Berath's influence. I seem to be doing the right things with Aloth because his regard / rep with protag is max. I had a difficult time pushing that in previous PTs despite doing things that he approve of. I guess the devs fixed his glitch. I think they also fixed / made changes. Tekehu did not suddenly go all lovey dovey with the protag with 5 minutes of meeting her. Oh he flirted and pranced, yes but he didn't come right out of the blue and declared he's in love. I also refused the two companions of the two different factions in the palace meeting. In previous PTs, they were pushed to the protag irregardless of the answer. This time, nobody's pushing so I didn't have those two companions. Not sure if I would still end up getting them later. Had a fiery dialogue with the queen after I told her I released the captive dragon held for centuries and being made used of by one of her divisions beneath the island. She was so furious she dismissed the protag and then had second thoughts when I didn't choose to protest or anything and merely bide her farewell. ha!

Fire Emblem Awakening
so...the other day we may or may not have started a war with Plegia (nice job Chrom) how this happened? Well...
King Gangrel of Plegia had kidnapped Maribelle, a childhood friend of Lissa and demanded that Emmeryn hand over the titular Fire Emblem to him for her safe return. When Emmeryn refused he tried to take it by force by trying to have her killed, Chrom protected his sister and said any who'd attack his sister would suffer the same fate. Naturally Gangrel took that as a provocation...and well, then the war happened
Gangrel's lieutenant Aversa taunted Maribelle that later she'd be known as the one who had destroyed Yllise with her (as Aversa put it) horrible behavior. Thankfully Ricken had sneaked up on the men guarding Maribelle and rescued her from Aversa, the pair carefully making it back to Chrom's company.
After the battle was done Chrom apologized to Emmeryn for his rash behavior, but she told him he wasn't to blame, as Gangrel had sought to start a war with Yllise for years now. On Frederick's suggestion they headed back to the capital to prepare for the upcoming war. It's interesting to note that the father of Emmeryn, Chrom and Lissa was apparently some sort of warmongering tyrant who had led a brutal holy crusade against the people of Plegia. Something the Plegian people are (rightfully so) still very bitter about. Though Emmeryn had tried since her ascent to smooth over things with the neighboring people as well as inside her own kingdom, up 'till now her pleas for peace have fallen on deaf ears. I suppose time will tell what'll happen next. After that chapter I also made it through the second side chapter, meeting the traveling merchant Anna for the first time. Anna introduced herself as "the secret seller" I suspect we'll hear more of her in the future
I have several characters on level 8 by now, so a few more levels and I can use the master seals on them For now I guess I'll be trying to level up the lower leveled characters (such as Maribelle, Ricken and Donnel) to get them toward the same level as the other units I have so far
In the next chapter we'll also be gaining two more units, the thief Gaius and Taguel Panne, the latter being a member of an enigmatic people with the power to change into huge beasts by use of magical stones (in Panne's case she becomes a rabbit/hare kind of creature) A concept art of Panne's beast form

So New Vegas. Man this game has a rather interesting pacing to it. Killed Benny and now Caesar wants me to kill House. Its not going to happen but I am quite sure that this is one of the things that I 'have to do' for the ending or to start it so yeah. Not going to do that. On the flip side this does really make me appreciate Odyssey's quest system since they do actually divide their quests up into smaller managable bits. Its annoying that the 'kill House' objective is still in the 'Render Unto Caesar' quest which has still been going on for a while. Also fascinating since even though I did not do what he wanted he still things I did from the rumble of all the Securitrons coming online. AND it was very interesting that House let me keep the Platinium chip after using it to update the Securitrons...like the game is letting me keep my options open...for no real reasons?
How I killed Benny was rather fun. Because I thought that Caesar would've been onto my little deception I stoll a shotgun AFTER he had me give up all my weapons. Which worked. I double tapped Benny's head point blank and then no one reacted that I had a sudden shotgun in my hand. It was funny.
Now both House and the NCR wants me to go to the Boomers to check them out and get me to work for them. Who knows if I am going to do that now or for awhile but I am curious to see how that all works out when I get there.

POE II Deadfire I decided to do Beast of Winter since I sailed by that ice floe. As it turned out, someone was doing a lot of lying and there's a rip / hole into Rmyrgand's realm which has to be sealed or the entire Deadfire would simply be part of his domain. One of the additional tasks was to gather someone's soul that was ripped into four pieces by a catastrophe. The way to do this is to travel to before, present and after the event and it does not make for happy gaming. The time periods were named Dawn, Noon and Dusk which created some confusion. The devs were trying to be too "clever". It took me more than an hour to wrangle down the four soul pieces, running through four portals and cycled through the time periods. grr

Fire Emblem Awakening so the other day we got two new units, our first thief Gaius (voiced by Gideon Emery), and the taguel Panne
in the same chapter we learned someone was after Emmeryn's life (shocker!), and that Marth was...a girl
Chrom: wait...you're a woman? "Marth": and quite the actress too, honestly...I'm surprised you didn't figure it out 'till now Mystra: *chuckles* so sassy
so yeah, we foiled the attempt on Emmeryn's life...the leader of the assassins though...he seemed to know Mystra he attempted to have her join the dark side as it were Validar: if you join me I'll tell you who you really are Mystra: ...*deadpan stare* ...*one shots him with a thunder tome* (no seriously, Mystra had him one shot with a simple thunder tome...granted Virion had softened him up a bit, but still) seriously though, just look at him (Validar)...he screams villain just by existing < screenshot from Fire Emblem Warriors in which he also appears so yeah, the next few chapters should be fun...I mean, it's war time ...and shipping wars time as well...gotta get my characters teamed up
I also almost got Lissa to level 10, so I should be able to promote her soon so she can hit people and heal them Maribelle is still level 4, so she needs a few more levels for her promotion both Chrom and Mystra have reached level 10, but so far I only have 3 master seals so I gotta see who to promote first

So New Vegas. I didn't get a whole heck of a lot done lasst night other then medical and selling stuff. Continuing to work on my armory a bit.
Only thing I did was I visited Vault 22 in New Vegas and went on the grand tour. I was dissapointed that apparently there is no quests associated with the vault or at least none that I got because I suspect there might be something more going on considering A. I missed a persuasion check and B. the story is kinda fishy.

POE II Deadfire
I finally caught up on Cohh's (Twitch streamer) PT of Deadfire because I'm curious about the ending he got for himself. I watched a few hours when he played this to get an idea of game play, etc and bought it a day after it launched last year since I felt it's a vast improvement over POE I.
One thing I can say is, Obsidian devs punished the players for not playing attention. In a manner of speaking. Veteran rpg players know if there're factions in the game, then it's inevitably a choice of supporting one main and a secondary and refusing the rest. Actions and decisions dictate the outcome for Deadfire. Cohh made assumptions, didn't pay attention and merrily thought if he garnered very positive reps with all factions, it's a happy / good ending. He got the worst pie in the face for that and I was glad he got it.
I didn't get such endings in my first PT though it still wasn't good. I moderately supported the factions ( Vallian Republics and Rauatai), did more for the Huana, and chose to attempt Ukaizo alone. But because I made a stance where some factions are concerned, namely the Principi because they worked with slavers (I made up my mind after meeting Romaro), I severely curtailed the chaos and damage they would have done when the game ended. In the present PT, I'm going further. I slaughtered Mad Morena and her people at Neketaka, Dereo is next.
I wish the devs delved a bit more deeply into consequences because it would put the brakes on players who make assumptions. Take the meeting with Aloth when the Watcher picked him up. There's some comedy in the dialogue because players who played POE 1 know Aloth and his history and clearly Aloth was assuming an alias with his present colleagues. The personal history story he told them was funny and it's up to the player to expose him or keep his secret.
It was hilarious but then as the dialogue rolled on I began to think; Aloth is a honest char, why would he need to hide his ID? Was he undercover? On a mission? If I exposed him, would that put him in danger? Put his colleagues in danger? Hence I kept his secret, thinking if he was there on an innocent mission, he could come clean to his colleagues himself.
As it turned out, there was nothing dangerous to his assuming an alias. I felt however the devs missed an opportunity to tie in consequences to that event. No doubt they missed others too. How did Cohh do? Oh he never thought, he just rolled merrily along, ha ha he hee, let's exposed Aloth and have some fun.
Anyway, I'm spotting more changes the devs made. It's easier to do so when I watched Cohh's PT which was back in 2018 and compared it to my present PT.

Logged into WoWclassic. Just 58 minutes queue. Decided to start with my human warrior lady. We were a nice cozy bunch on the outskirts of Stormwind. I guess the worst rush have moved on to higher level adventures in Elwynn forest.

Fallout 4. Cleared out raider scum at Revere Beach. Well I let that Lurk Queen help me out with that by leading it to where the raiders are and let them fight each other before I finished the survivor of that fight. The raiders run away from me any way. Must be my high level with high level armor. You can run but you can't hide. Went further along the beach coastline and fought off some more lurks. Needed their meat for future dinners. Went to Norhagen settlement and they were whining about their daddy being kidnapped, so off to the rescue I went. Not because Alyssa is a good at heart Samaritan but she just likes to kill. Being a former sniper in the special forces of the military, she wants to keep the practice up wit h taking head shots with ease. A mod that makes the "Nora" character a veteran of the war. With a weapons mod I have installed I found my new favorite up close and personal weapon. A killer shotgun that does devastating damage and is quick firing. I haven't enjoyed a shotgun as my up close personal weapon since the combat shotgun of Fallout 3.
