What did you do today in any other game out there

And finally managed it, I ended Nox. It took forever, I had to save literally every three seconds and I had to play the ending twice because the game decided to crash even as it played the end cutscene, but I did it. Whew.

Now it's back to Inquisition. XD

Got the huge and ungainly rockets pointing in the right direction and burnt some. But even with 16 nuclear engines it's a big project to burn for a trajectory to Jool. Mainly due to that the rockets still weigh in at +1200 tonnes. So it's gonna be a multi-session thing. It's competing unsuccessfully with job and bed.
Over and out.

Started playing Recore.... it doesn't deserve the 5.5 that gameinformer.com gave it. I agree more with the 7.3 IGN gave it. I'm a sucker for platformers.

Today I mostly yelled at Steam to download the early access version of Divinity: Original Sin 2 faster. So far it's not listening.

I'm definitely enjoying my second attempt at the first game more than my previous one. Partly because of some quality of life improvements made for the Enhanced Edition and partly because I'm skipping basically all the dialogue to get back to the things that are actually good.

Finished chapter 12 of SWTOR Knights of the Fallen Empire. This is the second time I played through this chapter. The first was on my JK several months ago, like last year I think. This time, I did it on my sith warrior and I still have no idea where the story is going. There's this feeling of disbelief...really? Really??? It's nothing to do with the lore but with the ultimate goal and intentions of a few chars. That's not say I don't enjoy the mystery. 

Started my Uncharted 4 speedrun. I'm doing well, I'm at the Madagascar jeep chase and I'm 2.5 hours in. I played some overwatch and got a Winston play of the game. Which never happens!

Playing my orlan paladin (Kind Wayfarers) in Pillars of Eternity. Working my way through Raedric's Hold to put an end to his madness.

I became a stripper and saved Christmas.

restarted my Darksiders 2 playthrough from 2012.

Today, however, I have made quite a few mistakes. Luckily not any that I couldn't afford (propellant budget was very good, thanks to things having gone so well up until to now), or couldn't work myself out of. So the crews have worked hard at the insertion into Jool's moon system. Things got pretty messy for a while for the vessel destined for Vall. Luckily, the rockets arrived at Jool sufficiently staggered (28 days) to give me time to work out things without burning too much fuel, before it's time to focus on the other.



After hours of juggling orbits and trajectories, the Vall rocket is now in an orbit aligned with Vall's orbit and will also have an encounter in 7 days. That's the time I intend to make a burn for going into an orbit around Vall. I think I have time to land too, before it's time to manage the other rocket's insertion.

I left the game and closed it, because I've had it running for so long, switching between two ships, that I'm afraid of game crashing due to some memory leak or something. It's been very stable for me, but the stakes are high now and I feel it's better to reload every fourth hour or so. You never know what happens to the persistent game after a crash. I was going to restart the game after writing this, but I've changed my mind, now that I feel how tired I am.

Tomorrow.

Well, I did it. It was scary and came with a knot in the stomach. And maybe I used a bit much fuel, being too careful. But careful is nice when it pays off. It was a very neat and gentle landing. I figured it close to perfectly. And I'm reasonably sure we got enough fuel to get back up into orbit, so all should be well. My very first manned landing on Vall, one of the moons of the gas giant Jool.



I let the astronauts do a ton of science from the ship, then tentatively tested the ladder again (it worked back home on Kerbin, but gotta be sure), because I'm not attempting a landing on Laythe with the other vessel if it's all for nought.

The crew is safe and fine where they are for now, and I'm going to pay attention to the other rocket.
