I'm a little further along but I'm starting to feel like the novelty of the various British accents has worn off. And they did the most annoying mission design mistake: I helped my chosen faction to raid another faction's armory. Did I get a bunch of badass guns out of it? No. Did I get even one badass gun out of it? No. Did I get anything out of it? Sure, a little XP and whatever I looted from fresh corpses just like any other mission. Sigh. On the other hand, I do have a silenced weapon now so getting Mr. Sandman perk soon. IOW, my character is on the way to becoming the kind of sneaker whose gun just goes thbt thbt and someone loses their head. Quietly and without a fuss. I also ran around the map a lot, trying to get to a specific place where I Googled I could find an intact hazmat suit which seems to be needed for another mission. In lieu of a small boatload of rad-x and radaway each. The reimagined London turned out to be quite a maze, filled with unpenetrable high concrete walls and little hedges which seem equally formidable, you can't get through either. Wouldn't mind a nuclear powered hedge trimmer :) Well, at least it's not invisible walls in this day and age.

I have thousands of hours in KSP, with plenty of QoL mods, so was disappointed when KSP 2 came out. Put a few hours into it, hadn't played it since. At the end of September, I went back into the game, and saw that I was in the middle of a mission to Minmus (the smaller moon of Kerbin) at a point of interest site. Walked my kerbal back to the spacecraft, which is set up with unlimited fuel and indestructability. To make a long story short: I put about 2 hours into getting the spacecraft of 3 kerbals back to Kerbin, the details I won't bore you with. Will mention this: If you have a high apoapsis on your orbit, that's a good place to make orbital maneuvers if all you have is RCS at that point. A little change at apoapsis makes a big difference at periapsis in that case. Remembering this saved me some time, because I set my periapsis at 50Km for Kerbin, which wasn't deep enough into the atmosphere to slow down for a landing...I went around and around, until finally I woke up and lowered my periapsis to 30Km with RCS at apoapsis. For those who don't know the terms: In an elliptical orbit: apoapsis: furthest point periapsis: closest point And: https://xkcd.com/1356/ I will be playing it more now, this time with realistic fuel and damage. -- -Scott System76 Thelio Mega v1.1 x86_64 NVIDIA RTX 3090 Ti OS: Linux 6.11.0 Release: Mint 21.3 Mem: 258G "Join Taglines Anonymous.

It's playtime was creeping up on my logged playtime for Civilization 5, and though I know that one is missing a sizeable part due to Steam library shenanigans, that still is a rather long time I spent with one game. Well, when I say finished, I managed to get the Atlantis questline done. I also managed to get the best possible result with the family questline, reuniting the whole family with nobody dying at all (allowing me to use all four as special lieutenants on the Adrestia). Only after finishing it I realized that this is not necessarily something everybody manages. It was a pretty good game, even if a bit uneven in some parts. I noticed design and detailing of different areas seem to have been done by different people, as the quality of voice acting and look of some locations changed drastically between places.

Sid Meier's Civilization V. Thing's getting pretty hot. Seems like there is reason to go back to Civ IV even though 2K didn't prepare achievements for it. Gonna have a few games of Civ IV and see what's necessary to keep it running smoothly. For reference, this is the last Civilization that used squares. Civ V and VI both used hexagons for position. I think Civ IV also allows stacked military units.

Civ IV definitely has Stacks of Doom. :)

But just one more turn, okay? C'mon, have a heart! It's only 4AM!
