The newer AC games need a plan of attack imo. They're so freaking big. If you just run around doing anything, many gamers will get tired of the game before they hit the best content, so focus on the main stuff and ignore the noise.
Currently Valhalla is the exception for me, for some reason I enjoy doing every little thing and I'm already 110 hours in, but Origins and Odyssey definitely outstayed their welcomes in the end

And out of nowhere, FC6 is now a horror game. I do not care for horror games. One minute, Dani is happily minding her own business, helpfully slaughtering FND thugs on an idyllic tropical island and offering to investigate some missing freedom fighters...the next she's in a fucking shadow dimension being chased by one of Aliens that Ripley missed. I had to play some Valhalla for its cheerful lightheartedness in order to settle myself down

Ghostwire Tokyo So I found that photo mode does not work in combat and talisman run out during photo mode. So no strategic shrubbery or peace sign with the scissor lady. Granted the latter could be possible via the figurines, but too much luck involved. So this is the best picture I got of the scissor lady. Today's session was lots and lots of cleansing gates. Think I got most of the right side of the map. Unless more spawn in later I guess. Could very well happen. Leaving the left side for later since the next main quest stuff is on the right side and I just know I’ll have to hoof it to the left pretty soon. Side quests involved chasing a dragon picture, enjoying the sound of Moonlight Sonata, some hide’n’seek and cleaning the local well. Finally met the sanguine dancer and yep he’s a pain in the butt. But in a boring way. Since I can’t hit the broadside of a barn and the twit just wont stop moving. So I run out of ammo and end up just trying to reflect the damage via blocking. On the plus side he’s a very good exercise in blocking. Otherwise a fairly mellow session. Edit: So did one more main mission before sleep. Which took place in an underground parking lot, which is always fun. Especially when the lights go out and it's you, the darkness and enemies. And if it wasn't for the scissor lady in red it would've been a massive, I'm not trapped here with you, you're trapped here with me. Alas I was skewered by scissors instead. But the real horror. The true terror. Was after I turned on the lights before going ghost hunting and learned that the scissor lady has a severance attack, aka she can block my powers. Granted this time I can get them back a bit easier but also no, no, no, noooo. Don't think she can block my talisman but still, just please no. I'm scared enough by your snipping. Don't go truly cutting me. So def going to have some nightmare visits tonight.

So back playing as I got my old PC back to what it was after OneDrive had it's little house cleaning exercise and also I got my new one!!!!! Waiting for a new external Hard Drive to transfer all the stuff I want from the old PC to the new one which should arrive today. So with only a small amount of time had to satisfy myself with making Kass run around Athens doing the Sokrates/Akibiades quests to get them done. Also closed out The Daughters of Artemis quest with Hunting the last Legendary Animal and resolving things with Daphnae. That damn pig is a hard one to kill. The Erymanthian Boar The decision at the end of The Daughters of Artemis for me is a difficult one if I put myself in Kass's shoes and how I played it out with Daphnae. Spoilers melbella

I purchased the deluxe edition for Resident Evil 4 Remake. Even though it has extra costumes, I will be using the default outfits. I do have Leon wearing sunglasses. The good looks good. I'm moving at a snails pace because I want to make sure I don't miss any treasure or other items. Collected some trophies.

AC Odyssey
Kass is now parked outside the Pythia's home so she can hopefully talk to her without annoying guards interrupting.
Night. Meditate until it's night. Wait a while for it to take effect and you'll see some of the guards going to bed, leaving fewer guards to roam around. While waiting, look at the door and surroundings so that you're oriented the moment you come out. If you dropped down immediately once the guards in that area moved off a few paces and enter the room, that meant when Kass come out, the ones coming in will be several paces away, giving you the time to climb out of there.

Wellll....I did the night thing but a bear ruined my cover. So, I just killed the guards (they were cultists anyway) and busted down the door. Pythia spilled the beans and Kass went on her way.
Was hoping to do some more bounty hunting at the Temple of Artemis but instead got sent to hunt a pig. A giant pig with an attitude and a horde of annoying baby pigs! Ugh, took me 3 tries to kill it. Third try I remembered I had fire weapons available so that made damaging it go a lot faster. Also flirted with Daphnae.
Question time!
Are there any men around to flirt with? So far the option's only come up with women.
How do I use arrows other than the normal ones? I have Paralyze arrows crafted but I don't know how to select them when bowing??
Moving on....
Now I have even more stuff to do because.....cultists cultists everywhere! with their own chart to keep track of and everything. As if there wasn't enough to do already!
Aaannndd.....baby brother also survived getting thrown off a cliff. Knew who it was as soon as he appeared though. Visions of clone Shepard are dancing in my head now.
So now the game has told me to go to Andros, so I sailed straight there, stopping only to loot yet another sunken temple (killed the sharks first this time ) and to take out a few pirate ships. The sailer songs make me think they are dwarves. "Far over the Misty Mountains cold...."

Yes there are some men, the nearest one to where you are is a quest called To Heal a Healer I think. Hit "G" to cycle through the arrow types whilst you have the bow in use If you use a female crew they'll sing in a female voice probably obvious.

The Healer, as Dak said. SQ The Smith. SQ The Spartan General. He'll pop in one of the main quests for one of the islands. The DLC character. Healer, smith and spartan are optional btw. In one or two PTs, I opted to have Kass some down time with the healer. The smith and spartan general are always a NO.

Re the Spartan Polemarch "Thaletas" I never romance him because I always romance his girlfriend which of course has consequences.

SWTORI finished Makeb storyline and started the prelude to Shadow of Revan on my Dark Nox. I've done the attack on Tython and Korriban flashpoints so far. And being an Imp character that means quality time with Lana before reaching Manan. GW2I kicked a mouth in the face with cat (Charr) paws. Or something like that. Now I need to cripple Zaithan undead production...by attacking his magical production factory.

GW2
I did some levelling for my second ranger - this is Lynnis:
And did some events like Drakkar and Tequatl with my mechanist Lilia.
I want to start on my ascended gear soon with teh help of a friend from my guild. The good thing is, that the two rangers and the mechanist all have Berzerkers stats, so that I can switch the aromor around, when needed. Since I'm doing mostly story with my Sylvari ranger, I do all the other stuff with the other two characters (plus my Harbinger).
Btw, I found this screenshot of my Sylvari ranger - very mystic :

Ghostwire Tokyo Got a scissor lady figurine so could do this: Got another one with her tipping her hat but haven't messed around with that. Also realized how dumb I am since I saw a floating hand beckoning and went running to check it out. Granted nothing happened but it’s like those times you check in the back of a van to see puppies and realize you could’ve died. . Hello Had the fright of my life while purifying a cherry tree. Thought I had dispatched the foes, turned around and saw TWO scissor ladies running at me. Ooof. Thankfully I had a full tank of “Screw you” power, so I survived. They’ve been teaming up this session. Had one battle with one red and two white and then a couple of white ones. Having an easier time with them combat wise but it always feels a bit extra dicey. Getting pretty good with the Sanguine Dancer. Or at least less rubbish. Finished one fight with some magic ammo left, so felt pretty proud about that. Then died to the next one and that knocked me down a peg. The ghost parade has been extra active lately. Still not brave enough to try and fight them, but it’s neat watching them pass by while I hide in the nearest garbage can. Found some red slippers and realized the song Namba sings in Yakuza like a Dragon is an actual song. Guess that’s neat? Getting closer to the end I think? At Least the game told me that I was about to miss out on some side quests (and mentioned which one) when I tried to move on with the main story, so ended up doing those instead. Got a couple left but from what I can see I can do one more chapter before they are cut off (or do them in the post game, so that’s chill). There is an achievement for saving 100% of the souls (the dlcs add a bit more so the total is slightly above that) before the end of the game. Not going to happen. BUT I did get 50% so kinda proud about that. Also cleared all of the gates. The rest of the collectibles is a big old Haha no. But I like the ones I've gotten at least. Now just need to hype myself into doing the main quest because it feels like it's gonna be spooky.

So I have a problem I have twice tried to install MEA and it does not seem to create the Bioware Folder under "Documents" and it doesn't create a Save Folder that I can find anywhere under EA Games\Mass Effect Andromeda Folder where the .exe is.
Is that where I should put my save folder, does anyone else have MEA installed that can have a look?

Some game files (save folders) can only be found under User/User name/AppData/LocalLow but I doubt Andromeda would use a different path as it's a Bioware game.

Dark Messiah of Might and Magic
I completely forgot about this title until I saw a vid of it. I had played this years ago, 2006, and enjoyed it very much. Back then, it was on disc. I still have it but decided to buy another on Steam. It's cheap anyway. What surprised me is that it's made by Arkane Studios. They did the Dishonored series, a favourite. It was published by Ubisoft.
It works on win 10. The best resolution I can get is 1280x980 for widescreen. It takes a bit longer to load and save but there was no crash.
I played for a while, going through the tutorial. It's first person view btw. The combat is simple. There seems to be two basic sword strokes (there may be more later) but the protag, Sareth, can kick his enemies off and destroy weak pillars. He can crouch, jump and climb. He can use sword, bow and magic.
He studied under the wizard Phenrig who sent him to deliver an item to another wizard, Meneleg, at Stonehelm. Phenrig summoned a companion, Xana, to accompany and help Sareth. She appears as a human woman. A beautiful woman btw 😛 but I think she's a magical being or a spirit (I can't recall but she will speak of it with Sareth later as the story unfolds) because she resides in Sareth's mind.
Sareth arrived at Stonehelm and from the words of a peasant couple hurrying out of the city gates with their wagon, Stonehelm seemed to be under attack by necromancers. At the gates, Sareth was about to enter when something smashed into one of the gate towers and a golem appeared.
The guards dragged Sareth, who was nearly crushed by the debris, past the gates. He was told to run deeper into the city. So I followed the guard, then leaped upon a chain and climbed up into a warehouse, I think. I stopped there to test out quick save and the manual save as I exited the game.
