I haven't played much of anything the last few months, the other day I joked to myself, "didn't gaming use to be my main hobby?" Haha. All that grinding I did in P3F I think killed any desire I had to go back and finish my P4G playthrough.
I played the prologue in Deathloop, in fairness it generally takes me a while to get into a game but Deathloop wasn't doing it for me. I had a theme going because the next game I tried was Returnal, I found this game a lot more interesting. I couldn't get past the first boss though, suck too much at dodging. The only other roguelike I've played is Hades, and I found the RNG aspects alot more fair in that game. I dropped Returnal for now but I'll probably go back to it every so often. I did have a good laugh, at one point I was trying to kite a strong enemy and was having difficulty navigating some jumps and had a flash back to I think Medal of Honor European Assault, which I haven't played in 15+ years, but apparently it's my gamer version of Nam. LOL.
Even though I intended to play Ghost of Tsushima again next, somehow I ended up playing P5R again instead. When you choose your team name I went with Ann's choice, The Diamonds, resulting dialogue was pretty funny. Sadly Morgana's choice, Tilefish Poele, doesn't fit in the allocated character slots.

I am almost out of no-PC hell....supposedly will be ready next Monday (fingers and toes crossed!) Did they say what the problem was? Hope you get it then.
So, by "Monday" they apparently meant "Friday" I got notification last night my PC was ready for pickup so I went to get it this morning and am now back up and running.
They said there was nothing wrong with the hardware, that apparently a Windows update (or something) glitched the software and the cpu ended up acting like it was overclocked. They fixed the settings, and re-set the cpu cooler and re-pasted it. Supposedly their stress testing showed everything operating as it should, so we'll see how it goes!
Edit: welp, not fixed. Still overheating just by having Diablo IV open on the char selection screen.

DAI I did all the available maps before making a choice between mages and templars. I also skipped a couple of SQs at Redcliffe as I don't see the point of getting a lower grade sword and chasing a demonic ram. 😄 For this human PT, I went for the Templars. I also chose to ally than conscript. This led to great disapproval from Solas and Viviene, I think. I forgot who approve and so on. The meeting back at Havens was blistering. Cassandra was spitting mad that all the Templar leaders were corrupted, Leliana was not happy with the decision, Cullen was okay with it and Josephine was diplomatic. Next up is to close the hole in the sky. Barris for one, was happy to be offered an alliance. Yeah I lfet m yplaythroug hhalf wa ythrough Adaman t so have been finishin that. I d oplan on comin bac kt oit again properly a tsome point after I'v efinished playing the F1 story modes on F1 21 and 23. But plan t ofinish thhtis run an dd oa complete run of all 3 games after I've done that in an amongs tsome other games. But yeah I think I'm goin gt oenjoy this little stint with m ycomfort games and sports games.

Been playing a heavily modded Skyrim SE/AE off and on from time to time. My newest character is a Dunmer spellsword with the goal to complete the College of Winterhold, Companions, Main Quest, Dawnguard, Dragonborn, and the Ghost's of the Tribunal dlc from the Anniversary Edition. Downloaded the latest version of the Serana Dialogue Addon mod. She now comments on the main quest and Dragonborn dlc. Like I said this an off and on playthrough so I won't be completing it anytime soon.

No. My point is, it's not fixed because it's doing the same thing as before even when nothing is running. I even installed a different temp monitor in case the one was off, and its readings were even higher on some cores!

I really don't want to have to send out again for "service" but it would have been nice if in 3 wks they would have fixed the problem. I don't know what stress tests they ran but it obviously wasn't enough. Either that or the in line numbers for this cpu are super high?!
I'm tempted to just uninstall the temp monitor and play dumb until it fries.

Can you not tell them you want a replacement, Australian Fair Trading law says if something isn't fit for purpose it has to be replaced especially after it has been sent back and returned still unfit for purpose. Most retailers here would just replace it especially if they are a big chain. Is the high temp causing problems with the games? If not I'd probably go the ignore route but I also would not want to have to replace it because it dies. When does the warranty expire?

I'm tempted to just uninstall the temp monitor and play dumb until it fries. Did you plug it back home on the same powerbar and wall plug as before? It could be a problem with the powerbar or the plug that the power supply isn't throttling which cause the CPU to overheat (aka acting like it's overclocked because it's getting too much juice). Generally, overheating is because fans aren't working properly or bad airflow in the case though. You could always remove the side panel and leave that open to see if that cools it down a bit more.

It just expired (1yr mfr) but was still in effect when I took it in the first time.
Did you plug it back home on the same powerbar and wall plug as before? Yep.

Already off, and not helping. The cpu fan kicks on and the temp spikes even when I'm not doing anything, just have it on and I'm off doing something else. And yet atm it is perfectly fine.

Are you Icelandic, kipper? Yep My Time at SandrockDidn't feel like going down the tower so played this instead. Just a few chill days with Rosa. She's now besties with Burgess and Pen, Miguel and Mathilda close behind and Zeke and Mort trailing after that. Have decided she's going for Pen, since I'm a glutton for punishment and a fan of the self absorbed. And also he makes sofa from the corpses of our enemies and I can't say no to that. Just about ready to put down the sign in board for the Sandrunning gig. Dragging my feet for a day or two to get Pen's romance quest over since might as well see if that makes any differences. I doubt it, but still curious. She also installed the telescope for Qi so now I have a bigger selection of things to do on playdates. Which is nice. Also unlocked Pablo with another builder called Lukas. Kinda sad there aren't any more beard options, other than a chin braid and a moustache. A nice full beard would've been lovely. But alas, what can you do. Still had some nice chill fun, with zero deathblows.

My new PC if I unplug it from the wall or take the cover off and put it back on causes the fans to surge. Restarting the PC fixes it, god only knows why that is?????

GW2I finished the Sky pirate episode on my Spellbreaker Warrior. It was easy. Probably the easier of the Season 1 episode actually. Halo 1I got a memory leak that is super annoying. I have to close/open every mission because the game becomes unplayable usually toward the end of it. I'm a bit over half-way through the story already thought. Amusingly, I was thinking the game had no shotgun since I never saw any, but I just did a mission where shotgun is the way to go. I'm liking this more than Halo Reach, despite the same crappy vehicles handling, guns working the same way, and the very samey-samey confusing level maps.

I'm back in Rivellon, Divinity 2 Ego Draconis. I met Morgana and got the ability to see ghosts. i.imgur.com/O2hNgF6.jpgAnd I met Isobel and got the ability to read minds. i.imgur.com/wPzNckr.jpgI'm actually a Dragon Knight now, but I have no screenshots as I started pressing the wrong key. I can't remember the last game I played with no mods at all. It's a pity, this game might have been a lot more popular if it was mod-able.

Obsidian Gryphon The author of The Survival of Sarah Rose got back to me and I found more on the Princess routes side of things. If you do no romance Varga but decline Marion's proposal anyway, you get access to Lily the hostage turned Knight and two casual flings with Carolyn. It otherwise plays out the same, so there isn't tons to be gained there story wise. But it seems odd that it would have the same endings, I do wonder if the author won't write more on that side of things later. Otherwise, I bought the Queer Games Bundle 2023 on Itchio. Skimming through them, I'm curious about: 1. A Tavern at Night (Romance Options) 2. Repurpose (Romance options) 3. Stillwater 4. Sigh of the Abyss (Romance Options) 5. The First Day Of The Rest Of Your Lives 6. The Life We've Chosen 7. Limbo Line 8. Travellers Road (Romance Options) 9. Ladykiller in a Bind (Romance/Sex. Been curious about this one, not enough to pay full price) 10. Paradise Inc (Succubus! ya!) 11. Hoping this finds you well 12. Butterfly Court 13. Heart of Butterblue (Farming sim with romance options) 14. Moonflower (romance options) 15. Vampire Hunter 16. Quaint (romance options) 17. BDSM Boys (M/M romance with sex) 18. Coiled up together (F/F poy relationship with sex) 19. Curse in Bloom (linear/kinetic no choices) 20. melancholic-star-to-sleep 21. Your Lucky Charm (F/F romance) 22. The Priestess They Needed 23. Decay in Crevice
Captain's Farewell took only one minute to read one ending. Curse in Bloom (linear/kinetic with no choices.) Took like 5 minutes. Both Browser games.
Not a bad pull for $60

Not a bad pull for $60 Refuse the two male choices and the alternatives are Lily and Carolyn. Interesting. I've seen images of Sarah and Lily together but had no idea what are the decisions that led to Lily. In hindsight, kicking the two guys should have been obvious. 😄 Though if Sarah ends up Regent and Thomas did not marry, Sarah will have to make a political marriage in order to have heirs. I doubt the Council will let the bloodline die out. If Sarah ends up the Queen, the pressure will be on the get on the moment the crown lands on her head. That list for $60? Good buy. Some of the titles are not my cup of tea though. Vampire Hunter sounds interesting but I get the feeling it would not be what I'm thinking about, you know, for triple A games.

Vampire Hunter sounds interesting but I get the feeling it would not be what I'm thinking about, you know, for triple A games. Outside of Ladykiller in a Bind, I think most of them are short projects that creators put out there to get their toes wet. Those were just the 24 that looked good to me from skimming, I got 16 pages of creator content, I think that totals 460 items. Not all are visual novels, there is some TTRPG stuff, card games, there are little comic books, and things that seem to be a interactive journaling game. Then there are visual novels I don't care to read- saw two about gay orcs, saw several featuring transgender linear stories, or even F/F linear romance stories. Those 24 were just the ones that looked like I'd be interested, and it does donate to a good cause so I said, why not. Edit: A Tavern at Night was short. A conversation with a green orc/goblin mercenary at a tavern during the rain. Can end with you sharing a bed (no explicit details) or just wishing each other well. I liked it, the dialogue carried it well.

DAI Closed the hole in the sky and guess who showed up with his pet? He went through great lengths to create that hole, says Cory. I don't know, dogs go to great lengths too when they're in the garden looking for that elusive mole and they often never find what they're looking for. Isn't there some saying about digging a hole big enough you'll get to China on the other side? Cory clearly believes blasting a hole big enough will get him to the heavens. ... or is it Hades? Solas showed the way to a run down castle whereupon the Council decided they need a big pair of shoulders to put all their troubles upon. Naturally, the protag said uh uh, no way. Cassandra wasn't having it and blasted back; oy, you know that Cory guy is gonna be on your tail, like forever, right? After a second's thought, not a second thought mind you, the protag said; ok, you got a point. Gimme the big ass sword. Hey everyone! We're gonna whoooop Cory's big bad ass, right?? Everyone yelled yaaah then went about their business. In the meeting after, Varric sidled in and said; uhhhh, there's someone you gotta meet. Knows everything about Cory but keep it quiet ok? Meet me up at the battlements. Of course, Leliana immediately cotton on who he had brought to Skyhold. image This is what Hawke looks like in DA II This is what she looks like in DAI. I went to look around for a hairstyle that looked remotely like the one in DA II. Most modded hairstyles will only show in base game and not the DLCs. I'm also using an extended CC mod that somehow makes noses difficult. I can't get a straight nose on my current Inq and had to fiddle a long time with the bridge to approximate one. Of course Cassandra found out and there was a fight with Varric. It's too bad there's no interaction between Cassandra, Leliana and Hawke. A dang waste. It's too bad Hawke isn't the protag for DAI. Would love to have her snark. The down side is that she would lose her left hand. 😶

Pillars of EternityI've not been playing FFXIV that much recently so I wanted to switch to something else until the next big patch. I've had Deadfire on my Steam wishlist for a long time but never went through with the purchase, so 2 nights ago I actually bought it on GOG because the price was way better than on Steam. I thought I remembered enough from the first game to just jump into Deadfire and I'd be fine but, going through the "build your legacy" thing where you establish what choices you made in the first game, I realized I barely remembered anything besides some of the companions' names. So I bought the first game with all its DLCs on GOG, as well, to have both of them there. I played and finished the first game back in 2019 but did it only once and without the DLCs, so I'm running through it now to remind myself what's going on and also do the DLCs. I've picked up Eder, Aloth and Durance and I'm now doing a quest for Gilded Vale that I don't remember doing the first time. Maybe my memory is worse than I expected or I didn't do this the first time. I did Aufra's quest and, while going to the inn to sleep before heading out again, Kolsc came up to me to ask my help with Raedric. I'm currently raiding Raedric's manor and trying to remember anything (insert Gandalf "I have no memory of this place" meme here ).

Has anyone had trouble trying to run Dragon Age: inquisition on PC through the EA app? I've played the game before on this PC with Origin and it worked fine. But with the EA app it lags horribly. Has anyone had this problem too? Just wanted to test a mod.

So I decided.
But also before I went to go off to do what I wanted to do I had a thought. "Does Basim show up in the Animus anamoly bit instead of Layla?" Given the eccentricities of this game and these types of games I wouldn't have been surprised to see things fall through the cracks. But no Ubisoft actually went through the effort of putting in the Basim model. Bigger surprse? He had unique dialogue. He called the anomolies his... though I seem to remember a video plays after each one but then maybe it was just the end? Something to maybe look up.
But the main thrust of the night was to hit all the Drengers around, and as it turned out just in England, in order to get my power level hopefully high enough to take on Hamtunshire. And well the toughest of the group ironically was the first one, Thor the Fishmonger, with his twin spears he hit like a ton of bricks. Almost killed me once. Though I found it really...interesting...how accepting of the situation the son was. Continued to fight tthrough the rest of them and most of the rest of them were pretty easy with my doing Focus of Nornirs and stun attacks or sicking my dog on one of them as I stomped him into oblivion. Had still one close moment.
From there seems I missed a monastary raid so did that. The Picts still hit hard.

Has anyone had this problem too? Just wanted to test a mod. I am playing DAI through the EA app. What do you mean by lag? Loading the game or loading through the chapters? I don't have any lag and I'm using a number of mods, with a couple of new additional mods for the new PT. Before, with Origin, there were problems; starting a new game (the interrogation cutscene with Cass and Leliana may not load sometimes and the player ended up somewhere on the mountains near Haven. The solution was to run to Haven) loading the cutscene (it may not run or took several minutes to load) for the Skyhold discovery after Haven I found out accidentally it was the texture mod (for the eyes) that was causing the problem. After removing it, those two problems vanished.

Has anyone had this problem too? Just wanted to test a mod. I haven't tried DAI yet through the EA App but have had terrible problems on Windows 11 with the EA app and DAO AND DA2. Have not tried since setting up an account as a Local account yet though. If I think of it will try tomorrow.
