What are you playing?

[Vario]

Playing Space Engineers and trying to figure out the best way to mine.

Back when I played a lot of survival in 2015, the way to do it was to put a piston or maybe a stack of connectors, since pistons blow up/bug out easy, and a drill on the back of the yellow respawn ships refinery. Depends on your scenario really. Game was more about asteroids then.

You can't see it in that picture but it does have a refinery at the very back of it. All of stuff the drills mine gets transferred to the refinery which acts as a counter balance.

Looks good, did they fix the wheels? When I played, wheels were so buggy it was suicidal.

To clean up the rough remains you could run something like a floor polisher with drills pointed straight down but a distance away so they don't eat too much material, suspended in a square frame on wheels the width of the rough path.

 

[FordGT90Concept]

That vehicle is just rotors + wheels so no suspension whatsoever. It drives like a skid steer with left and right accelerated separately. It doesn't handle well when the drills are running.

It's...over...
I...I actually completed the Legacy of the Void campaign...
Feels a bit unreal that the StarCraft saga is over. I've said this multiple times before but this is one of my favorite game series of all time. The Legacy of the Void campaign was superb.

Spoiler

The few last epilogue mission just needs the player to get used to playing Terrans and Zerg again, then it gets pretty "easy".

Spoiler

Transform, evolve and ascend. Kerrigan sure did go through a lot.

Spoiler: The cinematic ending made me smile

Thank you Blizzard Entertainment for decades of fun

I just skipped the epilouge tbh. I just couldn't bear the stupidity of what they made of the story. OK, stupid is probably unfair, but ... it would have been better if they for once skipped on the entire "OMG THA UNIVERSE WILL KAAAABBBLOOOOOMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!1!!!!11!!!" drama. I liked Wings of Liberty the best because at its basis it was the campaign with the narrowest narrative. It was the most human. "Yeah but Zerg isn't hoooman duuurrgghhhhh" I can hear someone say, but screw you. The Overlord worked excellently because of that fact, but Kerrigan is very much human. "BUT SHEE'S EEVOOLVDEEH", and again, shut up, fictional Internet dweller. That was actually my problem with Heart of the Swarm. She just went "AARRRGGHHHH" and just discarded everything without much reason and went back to the Zerg and just accepted everything. "But Frick", someone with sense might say, "This is an RTS. Not an RPG." To that the reply is - again - "Shut up" followed by "So?", not necessarily in that order. Shadow of Zeratul or whatever the campaign was called (yes, I just quoted the title of it) ... I honestly don't even remember much of. It was probably fun and well made, and I conceptually really like the Protoss, but I don't like how it's always about the universe is at peril, or whatever. They were actually nice in the first game that way, they were essentially racists dicks there. That was nice.

In short, I really, really, really think they should have stayed off the universe is doomed drama. I am sure it would have worked without the tentacle beasts even being revealed. That Amon or whatever was in the game I was completely fine with, an old fellow from the super advanced race turned insane is classic material, but they really should have stopped there IMO.

BTW, the rant is not directed at anyone in particular.

EDIT: Oh, and this.

I think I'm finally happy with a wheeled miner in Space Engineers:

It doesn't take long for it to collect ~150,000 kg of material, drive back to base, back up, unload, and take off again. Pretty sure it is faster than refineries can process it.

I'm thinking I should have put the double axles in the front though, not the rear.

Hmmm, how is the learning curve on that Space Engineers game?

The more you show of it, the more I am interested in nabbing the game. I like games where I can build stuff.

Finished up Ratchet and Clank a few days ago. Very fun game. Probably do a 2nd go in Challenge mode later. I will load up some screenies since I figured out how to do that on the PS4 Pro.

 

[FordGT90Concept]

It's a pretty steep learning curve. I spent many hours in creative before deciding I had to use the blueprint system to design a vehicle to use in survival. That design is about the 4th or 5th to be tried. And now I discovered that the way I connected the top and bottom parts is fine for the host but it freaks out for clients so the second version is built in survival but just sitting there as a transport truck because no one wants me to put drills on it.

And after all that, lost power to the entire starting base. I'm not entirely sure why. In any event, spent several nights without power and now I doubled power storage and generation capacity. I hope it's fixed.

 

[silentbogo]

Trying out my new 4K monitor with various non-demanding games.

I only have a GTX950 (trying to gather up some cash for GTX1070), so it's kind of hard to find something new that will work.

Dota2 after the last update only gives me ~30-35FPS at max settings, AA disabled. Lowering textures/shadows and other stuff gives close to no result.
@2K, however, it is solid-stable @60FPS (with framerate cap enabled, no vsync).

Right now I'm downloading Bioshock Remastered. Pretty sure there will be no performance issues @1440p ))

It's time for The Prince to shine again

Playing some Prince of Persia: Warrior Within. With any luck, I may have enough time to beat this before the year ends.

7 days to die. Originally played on PS4, now on PC. It's much different. The crafting is a bit different, mining is a bit different, night time and 7 day hordes are a LOT different. Night time is actually very dark and dangerous, and 7 day hordes actually exist. On PS4 we went out on the night of the blood moon and we were fine, hardly saw shit. On PC if I go out at night at all, on a normal day even, it's extremely risky and just plain unpleasurable due to the darkness.

My first night... campfire on the roof of some water tower like structure.

Bedroll placed on a pipe sticking out. Comfy!

Crafted and upgraded the nescessary 3 wood frames for the initial survival quest. Used them to help me get up on the roof and block the zombies that were coming up the ladder after me.

Looking out from my crude first-day "base"

7 day horde action!

 

[Tsukiyomi91]

Playing Blade & Soul Taiwan server.

 

[hat]

More 7 days to die... what's in the base? Well, here's the outside...

Gun safe and forge inside

"Kitchen" area... campfire on the table

Bacon and eggs! Making Goldenrod tea too instead of just plain water. The tea helps boost wellness by a small amount. Bacon and eggs does slightly better than the grilled meat too.

But wait, what was behind that door back there?

Underground area. I've got several layers of dirt on top, dug all the way to the bedrock. I'm not sure if the zombies would be able to get to me here during a 7th night horde yet. I just started building this after day 14. Primarily, I defend the house of course, but if anything really bad happens I can try to escape down here. Eventually I'll dig out more and make a room down here. If it turns out to be really secure, I'll try to move my important stuff down there.

Geralt poses naked on a horse

And we finally get to know up close and personal our favorite horse...it's a she,named Roach. For the humor of it, it comes with a male voice, and Geralt is stoked

On my way to another different quest, wondered of into the forest. Stumbled upon an exclamation mark. Another out of the blue quest, that turned to be a beauty. Witcher 3 never get's old.

 

[Capitan Harlock]

Just started Deus ex Mankind Divided and is super cool XD. Tales of Zestiria , Fallout 4 and Dragonquest Heroes.
I was going to play Street Fighter 5 but for some uknown reason the game does not wanna start , even after redownloading and fixes find around so i got a Refund .

 

[EzioAs]

Did it! Beat Prince of Persia: Warrior Within before the year ends! Too bad I got what was unexpectedly the bad/alternate ending. Guess, I'll just watch the real ending on YouTube :/

Spoiler

 

[FordGT90Concept]

Contemplating building the one on the left in Space Engineers survival:

Just a big ore finder/personnel carrier and oxygen/hydrogen/goods/energy transporter. I got it up to 300 kph and subsequently destroyed it. Limited to 100 kph for application.

Not sure how I'm going to fix this one...

I'm lucky I didn't die here. I saw shit come tumbling down and nope'd the fuck out of there. Now I have a giant hole in my yard! On the night before a blood moon horde too... Maybe I'd better seal off the doorway for the night and try to fix it later. Maybe I should have put in some support beams...

Gonna have to ask for some direction on this, though. Assuming it hadn't caved in, would the zombies have been able to dig through that on the blood moon horde? Are support beams necessary, or would a ceiling have been able to support that? Is wood okay for that, or would I need something stronger (like the brick I was laying down)?

 

[FordGT90Concept]

I was playing Woolfe - The Red Hood Diaries. But then I beat it. In like 2 hours. On hard. It ended with "to be continued." First game ever I requested a refund for. Not to mention, the animations are pretty terrible. Combat too.


Edit: Refund granted. Playing Batman: Arkham Knight

just riding a american muscle on the crew! quite interesting game !

Spoiler: I messed up

After i saw some spoilers on the net, i never ever wanted to end this way. I do believe my mistake was when i did not let Dettlaff meet with Sylvia. I really wanted to make sure i had a 100% chance at a fight with a high vampire and really curious about how the Unseen vampire was gonna lock. That quest was very interesting.... unfortunately i do believe it led to this
I wanted Anna to live,more than anything.... could always go back and replay some old save .

Spoiler: And with this i finally finished Witcher 3

Does anybody know what quest you need to take in order to meet with Merigold, or to kill Orianna ?

Been playing Google.
