It was horror Sunday today...
GW2
I started Living Season 2 episodes on my Sylvari Reaper. I even finished the first one which bring the gang back together, from a very short vacation, to fight big killer vines and walking plants. Very tentacle monster of the bad guy(s).
Skyrim
Travelling at night is creepy. First I barely see anything even with torch/magical light and all the tiny noises makes me think something is ambushing me all the time.
But I made it to the dungeon where I need to fetch something for the Old Men at the top of the Mountain. I was ambushed by spiders and bandits along the way. Oh and a sabercat and some wolves too. It was rather uneventful beside that. There was an amazing aurora thought.
SWTOR
No horror here. Not really. I decided to change my Bounty Hunter race from Chiss to Human-with-the-cool-tattoos (why are BH the only ones with them?). I only played Chiss to unlock the race Legacy-wide and that's done now.
I'm still trying to decide which character I should focus on. Consular was a bit boring a few days ago. BH is starting Alderaan and they have a fun storyline there from what I remember. Inquisitor Lady is still on Voss, but there isn't that much left until the main storyline is done on that character.

I think they're tied with Smugglers about how to be a troll, especially if you pick certain racial combinations for that sole reason I plan on making my new smuggler a Chiss, just so I can get the line about "I know, I don't look much like a Chiss, my parents were surprised too"

"Her hair were standing straight up" ~ Rox
Rox and Kasmeer need new eyes, Solana doesn't have hair. She got a very polished white woody bald head. The devs should have realized that going bald was a feature of character customization. That line comes off as weird when you do. Even weirder then you play a Sylvari, since they technically don't have hair. It's very much plants parts of some kind that mimic hair or woody scalp like my character has.
I have now completed the first two episodes of Living Season 2. I also see that they changed how achievements works. Before, you had to replay the story with a character to be able to unlock achievements. Not anymore, they changed it so it works like the rest of the game now. Wouhou! I'll be unlocking a lots of achievement with this character, because I never could be bothered to replay those episodes just for the achievement on previous characters. Yet, I've been through them so many times on different characters.
SWTOR
I beat up a noble with my Bounty hunter. My employer approved, Mako approved too... Mako like your BH's consciences, but she can be a vicious little one in certain cases.
She mostly disapprove what I'm doing actually, because I'm role-playing a Imperial posing as a BH character. That's not really supported by the game, but it is supported by the game because the writers forgot that the BH were not Imperial in a lots of Imps side quests. So you can act pro Imps with a BH super easily.

Hogwarts Legacy
It's winter now and Lavinia has tons of stuff already to do again.
What might she be worried about:
Well... (spoiler for Poppys quest)
Yeah I think I'm almost to Winter as I've just done Sebastian's quest where we meet his sister for the first time. He hasn' t Crucio'ed me yet though so I assume that's t ocom esoon. But a tleas tI didn't have to fly all th ewa ybac kfrom Feldcroft thanks t othe magic mirror. This gam definitel yfeels lik eit's taken a few cues from DA as well as Harry Potter. I jus tgot a message from Natty to meet her somewhere too so will probably do tha tques tnext. I thin kit's cool tha tyou kind of have a friend from eac hhouse really given Poppy's a Hufflepuff I think Natty's a Gryffindo rand Sebastian's a Slytherin. Though tbh I'm no texactl ysure I'd call Seb a friend knowing that he starts turnin gto the dark arts but still it's a cool fact I happened to notice. With my character being a Ravenclaw we have one of everything.

Wasn't in the mood for Hogwarts Legacy or Battletech so I decided to fire up an old game
Star Trek Elite Force
I had a lot of fun with this back in 2000. Graphics is outdated of course, Character models are blocky but the voice acting is good with the original cast of ST Voyager with some new additions. I've no idea who's voicing female Munro but the cries of pain is the same as those I hear from commander Shepard so this has to be the standard sound track for female characters in pain.
Gameplay. Reminds me of the original Doom. 😄 First person shooter. My mouse is too quick so I flipped around too fast that I made myself confused as to where I was and where I was going. 🤣 I had to pull mouse sensitivity to zero. Going up and down ladders is more of sliding than climbing since the ladders are flat against the walls but it's difficult to pick out ladders standing on a platform. There's no highlight button so more often than not, I'll just jump and hope the character does not die.
The game starts off with a Borg simulation; Munro has to rescue her team mates. At the last, she tries to use the control panel and couldn't get it to work so what did she do? She shoots the control panel and it explodes. Big time, killing her and all the prisoners. Since it's a Holodeck simulation, no one is hurt. Tuvok, of course, reprimands her.
This is rather funny. I was expecting her to pull out a tricorder, make scans and figure out how to bypass the console, not shoot the console. Her response is decidedly un-star Trek like. 🤣 She told Tuvok there's no way to win that simulation. He told her to consider it her Kobayashi Maru.
The conversation is interrupted by an emergency. It turns out Voyager responded to a distress call and now the supposedly ship in distress is attacking. Voyager ends up badly damaged and transported to an unknown ship yard.

Wasn't in the mood for Hogwarts Legacy or Battletech so I decided to fire up an old game Star Trek Elite Force I had a lot of fun with this back in 2000. Graphics is outdated of course, Character models are blocky but the voice acting is good with the original cast of ST Voyager with some new additions. Damn, I loved that game. Played with and without the Jeri Ryan voice pack (she recorded her lines some time after release and it was a patch or a DLC). Her temporary voice replacement was fine, but not the true Seven. The first Elite Force was so Treky. The second game was far more shooter and less Trek. So I played EF1 much more.
Anyway, Horizon Zero Dawn.
I always meant to get back and do a replay on a NG+. Kept hearing the game got a lot of fixes and runs much better than release. I recall a lot of micro stutters at high settings and the game struggling to run steady above 80 FPS unless I lower a bunch of things. But I kept postponing it. And now I got a new 4090 card (still on the old trusty CPU, which now has to work overtime). And tested every previously heavy game I had in the library. Thought I'll do a 2nd run of Hogwarts. Somehow I ended up playing HZD. Because it's the true magic, folks. Magic!!!
Maybe I should have tested the patched game with a 1080Ti to make a fair comparison. Too late now. I used DLDSR to uplift the image to 4k and back (on a 1440p monitor) and it seems to be just a tad sharper than a native 1440p. DLSS removes the ugly TA blurriness. All settings to maximum. This looks pretty!!! I am quite sure I got a nice graphic uplift from my previous run, which is expected. But now the game also runs at 130+ FPS with small exceptions - the Proving party at the village tanked me to 100 for a few moments. This is smoooooooth, gang. Real smooth. No microstutters too. Just moving around and rotating the camera is an amazing feel. Not quite the "looking through a window" vibe you get when the FPS is 200+, but really damn close.
I wondered if it's a placebo and my mind playing tricks. So I capped the FPS to 85 to simulate the old experience. And no. Nope. Never again!!! Not a placebo! There was a drag in every movement and camera rotation. And I am certain the 85 FPS now is smoother than what I played a few years ago. We sure get used to smoothness fast, aren't we, folks? Took me just a couple of hours in the 130+ FPS goodness to never want to go back again.
Speaking of smoothness... - cutscenes at 30 FPS. Pain! After all the high FPS gameplay you suddenly get thrown into a 30 FPS cutscene that feels like you are watching a stop-motion clay animation. I dread every cutscene now
Ran into a familiar issue that happens when you play a game you haven't touched in almost 3 years. Started a NG+, had all the old gear. And kept asking myself "why the hell did I upgrade this piece in this way?". I can't recall the logic, but am certain I must have had a reason. So now I undo all the hard work and switch the modifications around.
The game does feel different now. Not quite a "new" one, but like a remaster. The gameplay benefits a lot from the smooth movement and the graphics feel even better. I am having a lot of fun, probably more than I had the first time. Maybe the NG+ helps too. I am still quite early in the story and not yet out of Nora territory. Aloy is asserting dominance in the wild with all her cool tools.
Can't wait to replay other games and see if the hardware upgrade improves the experience there too.

GotG looked amazing even at optimized settings. Wonder how it will look with RTX and everything maxed out. If only the combat gameplay wasn't so boring.

Even if tempest Started it like a month or something ago and finished it yesterday Had a blast with it. Granted I am a total sucker for Voltage games but this one was very different from the slice of life stuff and still so good. Did skip the bad endings though because very lazy. And the normal ones were sad enough There is a monster in it called Endy and he's so cute but also horrifying. Like genuine panic when he showed up. So was absolutely tickled that the game crashed at the start of the session when he showed up. Double because the protag wasn't expecting it either and went basically "Wtf no no nope" then Endy's sprite popped up and boom the game shut down, literally going "wtf no no nope". Thankfully that was the only crash in the session. But very amusing. Saints Row Had a bit of a scare when I loaded the game and my boss had reset into the default one. Luckily I've been making hard saves at the end of the session and loading that one had my boss, but it was startling for a while. Mostly just been doing mayhem. Building my criminal empire, being a menace on the road and doing some shopping on the sides. The usual stuff.

Must admit this was one o fm y favouriet games back in the day. Still go tm ydiscs somewhere I have Elite Forc e2 as well. Been a whil esinc eI las tplayed i tthough. From a time when FPS's were decen tand more lengthy in genreqal.Onl yFPS games recentl ylike thaat were probably Halo Infinite and the Doom games.COD and Battlefield seem moer interested in providing MP gameplay these days rather than a good SP experience. Which is why I only pick them up dirt cheap these days if I eve rdo.

Yeah I think I'm almost to Winter as I've just done Sebastian's quest where we meet his sister for the first time. He hasn' t Crucio'ed me yet though so I assume that's t ocom esoon. But a tleas tI didn't have to fly all th ewa ybac kfrom Feldcroft thanks t othe magic mirror. This gam definitel yfeels lik eit's taken a few cues from DA as well as Harry Potter. I jus tgot a message from Natty to meet her somewhere too so will probably do tha tques tnext. I thin kit's cool tha tyou kind of have a friend from eac hhouse really given Poppy's a Hufflepuff I think Natty's a Gryffindo rand Sebastian's a Slytherin. Though tbh I'm no texactl ysure I'd call Seb a friend knowing that he starts turnin gto the dark arts but still it's a cool fact I happened to notice. With my character being a Ravenclaw we have one of everything. You have still a lot to do in autumn. You could say, that professor Fig is your Ravenclaw companion. Th echecklis tit's given me is almos tdone though bu t yeah I kno wfrom Summe rthre was moer than 1 checklist o fquests. Didn' trealise Professor Fig was aRavencla wI know Proffessor Heca tis and I think the Astronomy Teacher is as well. But yeah I don't know how many quests ther are in each part exactly. But if thre's moer then great as I'm reall yenjoying it. Go tm yfirst Vivarium yesterda yas well wi ha fwe adorable mooncalf's and Puffskein's. The room of requirement is definitely a very useful place. Glad I was able to rescue Highwing for Poppy as well last night.

GW2
My Sylvari went to talk to her mom to ask her to host a summit. She needed Kasmeer to get an invite to be able to talk to her mom which is weird. Also, that one of her siblings didn't know her, but knew she helped Caithe take down Zaithan was strange. Is Caithe more popular than my Solana? At least, Mom remembered her daughter (despite having a lots of them). Thanks Pale Tree, you are the best Mommy...
I also remembered why playing a Sylvari is so satisfying once you reach Living Season 2. The plot turns into a family matter. Also, things are directly related to your dream in the intro. I actually wonder if they had LS2 planned before the game released or they just decided to reuse the "Shadow of the dragon" model. In the early game they say it's about Zaithan, but what happens in that dream fits the jungle dragon so much more.
I like having family members in story focused video games, but writers clearly prefers orphans, people who don't care about their family or the family is just fridged for drama in the first 10 minutes. It rarely happens that you have to hunt them down thought or adopt someone along the way...

I'm still saving the flarking Galaxy. Just escaped from the Grand Unifier. Gamora showed up with one of his arms. Good trip. Omg, thank you. Just reminded me of yet another game I need to test. GotG looked amazing even at optimized settings. Wonder how it will look with RTX and everything maxed out. If only the combat gameplay wasn't so boring. 4K, Ultra, Max RT and it's mostly idling. The only hitching is when it appears to be an engine issue, rather than a GPU one. And excuse you...? Boring? No, sir. GotG is a blast from start to finish.

Hogwarts Legacy
I did the quest with Amit today and I'm still amazed how normal he reacts to what happened during the quest - not heroic like all the others, but 'Let's not do that again' I really like him.
And since I have space in my vivariums thanks to the mod, I try to breed every species once - and mooncalf and puffskein babies are just adorable (and no, I don't sell them, they all stay)
A bit of cuteness:
