HZD I feel like I'm overlooking something obvious but, how do I use my 2 skill points to do anything? All the ones without a picture say I haven't unlocked them yet, but since I don't know what they are I don't know how to unlock them.
Edit: I figured it out. It looks like they all are for override/mount abilities which I haven't unlocked yet.
Story-wise I did the other side quest, finding the brother who hears voices, hunted some more machines, and managed to whittle down the loot box backlog to 3 pages. Some of them have stupid stuff like rocks. I also upgraded my last bow quiver to max level. Yay for mindless killing of the local wildlife. I've made it to Mother's Heart for the night before the Proving and knocked over all the grazer dummies in the area. The next one's are outside the Embrace, I think.
This is why I don' tend to bother with New Game plus here. I preferto start wit ha clean slate. Othrewise you spen da ton of the game reorganising everything. I know a lo to fpeople lik et okep everything and all their upgrades and NG + allows the mt od othat I jus tfin dit's no tworth the hassle most of the time. Whic his why I don' t tend t ouse i ttha toften. I d ohave a NG+ run on the go on Midnight Suns o nthe g obut planning onreturnin gt ostandard playthrough's afterwards

Stardew Valley 1.6 is coming on March 19th with new content. I guess I know what I'm playing after Horizon Forbidden West (which actually release a few days after that patch) which I'm going to play after I'm done with my current BG3 PT (or a BG3 PT, I need to stop restarting characters). I'll continue to sprinkle some SWTOR here and there too. And maybe some GW2. Sorry Dragon's Dogma 2, you will be forgotten...

TR remastered
Boulders. Boulders. Hanging menace. I think Lara has been flattened quite few times. Either flatten by rolling stones or falling items from the ceiling.
I'm now in TR II and the worse menace is the broken glass on the floor. I've also dropped the modern controls entirely. I think if the devs have any intention of correcting the crazy jumpiness of the camera, I would have finished the remastered by the time they came around with the patch
So I heard a bit more on the next TR game by Crystal Dynamics. . . . I will not be buying it if the news is true. If it's true, then one more iconic character is destroyed. It's sad. Is it any wonder I look back at the gems of years gone by? The Tomb Raider series will remain the cherished old titles of 1996 to 2008 and the new of 2013 to 2018.

Couple of better ones, I checked my MODS and she is all in game though these are helped a bit by Photo Mode Has imgur now become really slow downloading as well as ruining it's image uploading to folders?

I guess I know what I'm playing after Horizon Forbidden West (which actually release a few days after that patch) which I'm going to play after I'm done with my current BG3 PT (or a BG3 PT, I need to stop restarting characters). I'll continue to sprinkle some SWTOR here and there too. And maybe some GW2. Sorry Dragon's Dogma 2, you will be forgotten... Heard rumors about DD 2 getting a demo which will be a huge boon for me as I gotta decide if the gameplay changes they have made and also haven't made are going to work and how much of a sale I want to wait for before I get it sort of a deal. Still gotta finish the first game too ideally before starting this one. At least I kind of want to. *** Far cry 6Wifey had something fun happen during her playthrough. Just was going to tag a helicopter with the phone and a lightning bolt slashed right through the middle of it knocking it down. Trying to get into the vein of trying to decide which side quests I want to do and which I don't as I start slowly peeling myself away from hockey (maybe ) so I can have more time to play it and other games. Just don't know how much of a speed run I want to make with this game given the story is pretty awesome but some of the side quests are....meh. Also tempted to move on to other games. So doing a lot of the story missions and getting through the Monterro story pretty quickly, though having fun on base clearing. On the story front...next mission was another one my wife was doing and had trouble with and then I kind of had an moment where she had to drive this truck out and get it to Philly. Well she ran into a tank which blew her up pretty instantly and then had to start over. Well I not too intentional but still worked out kind of hillariously I essentially took this large UHaul type truck off road down the secret guerilla paths, avoiding most of the main roads, and then driving down the main road for a bit just to find a guerilla trail again like probably 80 percent of the way. So paranoid I'd run into something and damage it that way but at least I avoided any armor. And just at the end I ran into a slight vehicle patrol and they took pot shots at me but I got through it. As an aside I am having flashbacks to my first playthrough and the Monterro farm is just so hard to get to. Sure makes it harder to get to and thus justifies how they have been hidden from the FND...more or less...but man I hate trying to get there. Second big story beat is I played the mission where Miguel betrays us...and had the same issues on the first playthrough just not quite as bad, only took me twice. But Espada's AI still freaked out and was still confusing which still caused too many issues for me. The other highlight of this mission was that it is one of those things that they give you infinite ammo on all your weapons and even an insane amount of explosives (fifteen for the C4 I have for instance) so my initial plan was to switch to an LMG and just fight that way...but maybe that weapon didn't have infinite ammo. But then my bow did so infinite explosive arrows just made quick work of anything pursuing me. Got home, recriminations were had, and Espada killed Miguel. Though it is hard to not be sympathetic towards him. Wife really bitched at him and that is also understandable but in the end from his perspective he really was left behind...and then left in jail for an extended period of time. That would make quite anyone bitter to the Monteros. Also trying to find ways of differntiating this Dani from my previous one at least in terms of gear. Again what I wear largely dosen't matter but the weapons do. And first Dani went for the integrated supressor carrying AS Val which is some sort of AK variant. And well decided the bow just has way too much utility to get rid of that and the SVD is one of my personal favorite weapons of all time and generally a pretty good sniper rifle for the game...though maybe not quite as powerful as the fifty cal equivalents. So yeah decided to go for a new AR because my other slight goal is I am very heavily stealth influenced so far in both these playthroughs and I want something that is a little loud and also something a bit better in close quarters fights if I have to go loud. Though ironically with this to I also put a supressor on the 1911 I'm carrying so I can get a close range silenced option to so that is fun. With the new weapon though and testing it out the pistol can fire off a mag plus before the silencer 'overheats'. Anyways for the AR trying out the SSGP-58...not a real gun but based on a real gun and it fires 7.62 X 51 and apparently the real equivalent is an update to the classic FAL...so hmph. But anyways entirely modern weapon system unlike the AS Val so it has mod attachments for pointers and the decanted sights which not sure how practical those are IRL but they look kind of cool...haven't tested it out with a silencer too much in combat yet but I did with a compensator and early reviews are impressive. But anyways with this in mind too and usually what I do when I'm testing out new loadouts...good time to do side quests. So side quests...did two bases at least and a full Yaran story. Trying to think but pretty sure I remain mostly perfect or maintaining my streak on perfect bases. First one Oluso did most of the leg work because...he...got caught out in the middle of the courtyard and swarmed, did a good job killing most of the guards for me but eventually went down. Just had to deal with two, alert, guards hunting for me so I was a bit paranoid. So decided to use my flashbangs to stun/blind the enemy and then shoot them and it counted for clearing the base out. Occured to me later that maybe I should have lobbed actual frag grenades down there to actually kill them but it worked. Second base kind of proved an interesting gameplay design decision that makes sense from a pure gameplay design perspective but not internally to the world. In short either all or most of these bases actually have three objectives. I've done a great job getting the undetected and no alarm raised bonus objectives for the extra resources but this is the first base where I got all three. In this case there was a supply truck sitting in the middle of the base in view. Well since I did have the opprutunity right in the middle I did push and get in the cabin and then got right back out and that was good enough to count. From there just swept through the base and cleared it out, Oluso got the last guard, all three triggered. Thing is though while it encourages you, the player, to have to balance out what you have to do like forces you to go into these bases if you want all three and hence risk getting detected a little easier...it just does not make any sense because if you are undetected, and no alarms get raised...then how do you justify the enemy being able to blow up, kill hostages, or wipe data off of hard drives? So if you get the first two then you should be able to get the third later. Its annoying. Anyways though speaking of annoying did the two side missions where I met with the lady who wanted me to steal a tank, repaint it, then use it to harrass the FND...I decided to take a leaf from my wife's book and summoned a tank from the station and saw if that worked. It did. And it was hilarious too because my first tank is the tank design she uses when she repains the FND tank...it would've just been repainting the tank basically. But I got it drowned so second tank I used was 'Karlito' which you get from the Legends arc...and they all painted it all pink and what not. Follow up mission hyper annoying though. Got the tank blown up but it didn't fail the mission so I went down and had to go on foot and explode the billboards on foot. Under constant assault so had to use explosives on the Spec Ops and the tanks and especially the helicopters which kept on trying to get to me. So that took probably what should've been a simpler mission and took quite a bit of time to finihs...much like this post.

SSD failure? Well they I think were talking some rubbish. I installed a two TB drive to replace my one TB which was the C: drive and cloned the 1 TB to the 2TB to be the C:. They claimed there was no issue with the actual disk but there ended up being two versions of windows running and that caused the issue as I had not properly wiped the 1 TB drive. Why after 9 months did that become an issue? Any way then the dumb asses installed the 1 TB instead of the 2 TB as the C: so completely defeated the purpose of installing the 2TB as the C:. I specifically asked them to ring me before they did anything.

Anyone playing a game on GOG and having sync issues? For HZD I keep getting a message to pick which place has the most current data - PC or cloud - and the 'date' for both is 54 years old.

But anyways with this in mind too and usually what I do when I'm testing out new loadouts...good time to do side quests. So side quests...did two bases at least and a full Yaran story. Trying to think but pretty sure I remain mostly perfect or maintaining my streak on perfect bases. First one Oluso did most of the leg work because...he...got caught out in the middle of the courtyard and swarmed, did a good job killing most of the guards for me but eventually went down. Just had to deal with two, alert, guards hunting for me so I was a bit paranoid. So decided to use my flashbangs to stun/blind the enemy and then shoot them and it counted for clearing the base out. Occured to me later that maybe I should have lobbed actual frag grenades down there to actually kill them but it worked. Second base kind of proved an interesting gameplay design decision that makes sense from a pure gameplay design perspective but not internally to the world. In short either all or most of these bases actually have three objectives. I've done a great job getting the undetected and no alarm raised bonus objectives for the extra resources but this is the first base where I got all three. In this case there was a supply truck sitting in the middle of the base in view. Well since I did have the opprutunity right in the middle I did push and get in the cabin and then got right back out and that was good enough to count. From there just swept through the base and cleared it out, Oluso got the last guard, all three triggered. Thing is though while it encourages you, the player, to have to balance out what you have to do like forces you to go into these bases if you want all three and hence risk getting detected a little easier...it just does not make any sense because if you are undetected, and no alarms get raised...then how do you justify the enemy being able to blow up, kill hostages, or wipe data off of hard drives? So if you get the first two then you should be able to get the third later. Its annoying. Anyways though speaking of annoying did the two side missions where I met with the lady who wanted me to steal a tank, repaint it, then use it to harrass the FND...I decided to take a leaf from my wife's book and summoned a tank from the station and saw if that worked. It did. And it was hilarious too because my first tank is the tank design she uses when she repains the FND tank...it would've just been repainting the tank basically. But I got it drowned so second tank I used was 'Karlito' which you get from the Legends arc...and they all painted it all pink and what not. Follow up mission hyper annoying though. Got the tank blown up but it didn't fail the mission so I went down and had to go on foot and explode the billboards on foot. Under constant assault so had to use explosives on the Spec Ops and the tanks and especially the helicopters which kept on trying to get to me. So that took probably what should've been a simpler mission and took quite a bit of time to finihs...much like this post. Yeah I stil need t ofinish the firs tgame as well. That's the main reason why I'm thinkin gleave i tin m ybacklog for now. A tleas tuntil afte rI play the first one. Thankfully wit hHorizon I don' thav ethat problem as I'v eplayed Zero Daw n a few times now so I'm ready to jump into Forbidden West .I am looking forward t oplaying a bac kto bac krun of bot hgames but saving tha tfo rlater. Ma yend up going back t obac kwith Dragon's Dogma as ewll.

Anyone playing a game on GOG and having sync issues? For HZD I keep getting a message to pick which place has the most current data - PC or cloud - and the 'date' for both is 54 years old. Smell like save corruption. I played a game on GOG last night, but I keep cloud saves off because I always have issues with it. On Steam too. So I'm free of sync issues.

Smell like save corruption. They are new saves, from my NG+....not sure how they could be corrupted already. Looks like maybe it's fixed itself now. Will see when I load up the game again.

SWTORI started Makeb storyline on my JK. Somehow every none-hostile NPCs feels like they need to clean-up when seeing my Jedi. It feels weird.

HZD
Talked to Teb and Karst, then Olin and Erend, and Teersa. Finished the blessing ceremony, then talked with everyone again, then headed to the hunters' hut. I was dreading the Proving because I had such a hard time the first go-round but with NG+ weapons and skills it was a breeze. Except, I once again missed the point of the first part where you are supposed to get a trophy and instead ran around shooting all of the grazers instead. Got a trophy, then got another trophy after jerkface Bast destroyed the first one. Then ran the race on the old path and of course won, only to have to fight off a bunch of mooks with machine guns.
Rost died, Aloy lived, toured All Mother and got a new job as a Seeker. Talked to Teb again, then jerkface number two, Resh, and took out the corruptor machine to get the override ability. Now all those hidden mystery skills should be revealed, at least once I test out the thing on a Strider.
Pics!

TR remastered Progressing well thus far. No glitch. Feels like old times with the Tank controls. I'll likely put the TR remaster aside for a while because the Star Wars Dark Forces Remastered will be release on 28th on Steam. I think GOG will also have it. That's hours away. I played this back in 1995 and looking forward to dive in. Hopefully, the Jedi Knight series will also be remastered. azarhal , will you be playing this? Edit. Oh, it seems that if you already own the game, there isn't any need to buy it again. Cool if true since I bought all the SW games on sales.

So the Red Rocket Settlement is coming along. I re textured the Red Rocket overalls to remove all the dirt and grease. (when feral gouls point at you and laugh, you know it's time to clean up your act.) The place actually looks better than in this screen shot now, because my clean textures mod was being over written by the Red Rocket Glow Mod, So that had to go. No rusty trims for me. I had one of the settlers mow the lawn and the place is starting to look as good Sanctuary. i.imgur.com/3yhODvp.jpgInside I re textured the rusty Nuka Cola frames for the clean galvanized look, and re textured The cash register while I was at it. i.imgur.com/juO5gDn.jpgThen I spent all day editing the Big Nuka Cola Billboard. One side worked, but this one didn't. i.imgur.com/iMphURx.jpgI edited the wrong .dds. But somewhere in the wasteland there's a pristine Nuka Cola Billboard. Edit: I found the right one, and it was a quick copy and paste in gimp. The right one would have been less work, her body and clothes weren't so dirty. i.imgur.com/bahNg36.jpg
