BoC work. Maybe a little CMO. And Yardwork :(
Just had our third attempt at a family summer vacation cancelled today.
The first vacation was cancelled after my daughter tested COVID positive.
The second vacation was cancelled after my father-in-law was hospitalized for acute renal failure...and
The third vacation was just cancelled because our vacation spot in presently underwater and is located in an area under a declaration of emergency.
...so, I guess it will be DCS, Highfleet, maybe some Carrier Command.
Everyone enjoy.
Great song !
Might start a new game in No Man's Sky to discover the latest additions and improvements.
Shit JH that really is...terrible. Sorry.
Great pick on music, though, nice Tripoli.
My Byzantine Expedition mod for Attila: Total War began crapping the bed and crashing out a couple of days ago so I will be starting a new Attila: Total War campaign with the Radious overhaul and units mods as the Emirate of Cordoba. Also will be playing a couple of Dark Age themed Age of Empires 2 Definitive Edition campaigns.
Waiting in the wings as summer turns to fall is a stockpile of dark fantasy and horror game...looking forward to finally attempting Dark Souls III.
Playing "Dawn of Man".....got it cheap during one of the past Steam sales, finally getting around to it. A lot of fun so far.
Ps. Awesome music pick Trip...!

Tempting. I think mostly boardgames for me this weekend.
New iron maiden album seems to be on youtube in it's entirety, so might listen to that while playing.
Tank Crew is 66% off as well. Thinking of loading that up again.
Been watching Angry Bird's commentary of steel division 2 competitive matches so want to give that a go. However I am sick of the way the AI has perfect memory among other things and so might play some 10v10 online.
Other than that, star citizen, titanfall2 which seems to be working and world of warships. Which I have been trying the subs in.
Here down under. Lockdown has forced the post to shut down ecommerce for 3 days and curfews are in place in our largest city. 1400 cases a day now so I think we will be let out as soon as enough peeps are vaccinated. Which is happening reasonably fast now.
Another week down!
My ADD acted up again, so tossed out the prior games and loaded up World of Tanks / World of Warships, SCUM, 7 Days to Die, and as a lark (and no idea at what point I got this game) TheHunter Classic. Gonna blast virtual bambi all to hell.
p.s. Hunter game is poop to me, so no HD space for you!
On a single malt whisky discovery journey at the moment which I am finding is a ideal accompaniment to some mellow gaming.
I am doing unusually well in my latest Dominions 5 playthrough as Middle Age Cstis but as so often happens I have now got distracted by the release of Pathfinder: War of the Righteous so tonight I will be firing up Pathfinder : Kingmaker that I bounced off first time round to see if that is another rabbit hole to disappear down :)
Now...where is my Port Charlotte Islay Malt.....

Islay is the right way. Laphroaig man myself, or maybe Ardbeg...or Lagavulin. Choices choices...

To each their own but Laphroaig is like eating dirt (peat) to me, obviously it is an acquired taste :)
Anyway back to gaming. Intention was (possibly still is) for a bit on
Pax Nova, following on from I think Anguiles post from a few weeks back I picked it up in the sale and have now added the expansion. However just had the update of
Fallen Enchantress 3.0 drop on Steam so very tempted to fire this one up again. Other than those I'll probably go for a bit of
Tigers on the Hunt or
Valour & Victory as a change of pace.
Fallen Enchantress you say? Just installed that myself...
Laphroiag is my only Scotch. Will try the new Fallen Enchantress patch soon.
Tough break JH. :pullhair: WitE: The Road to Kiev Scenario is in full swing and damned addicting to boot for my weekend moments of tranquility which will be infrequent as this'll be a, 'Grand Kids' weekend around here. I've got extra Bourbon on hand for coping. And there's football....finally. <:-) Have a great one Grogs!
Blimey.....Stardock are still patching Falllen Enchantress :wow:
I played quite a bit of that a few years ago.
Another one to give another chance to.....so many games...so little time....
Tripoli - nice pick.
I was surprised by Stardock still patching Fallen Enchantress even more so a 3.0? I might have to dig back into it that.
But right now I'm turning 'mechs into slag in Battletech - on campaign as call sign "Badger." leading my Mercenary Company "Badger's Marauders." We just recovered The Argo and it was a well planned OP. I didn't end up with a single mech warrior in Med Bay, Nor a Mech' in the Mech Bay for repairs! So with the Centurion CN-9 in tow, and some a newly acquired Jenner I'm getting a bit more flexibility.
In terms of Emperor: Rise of the Middle Kingdom I'm about to enter a new Campaign - The Han Dynasty - with the construction of a capital near the ruins of a city I built ages ago; Hao. The City is to be named Chang'an. But I'm taking a break for awhile.
But for most of this weekend (in fact all of it) I'm working. So enjoy guys.
Went on a few dates with a new woman and it seemed to be going well. Then she made an off the cuff remark about how much she hates white people, and showed me a picture of her half-white niece & nephew with an obviously contemptful comment that their dad is white, go figure. Sheesh. I fucking hate California. Imagine how obviously disgusting these comments would be if you changed "white" to "black". ::) :idiot2: I imagine it would only be a matter of time before she tells me I'm one of "the good ones," so I'm GTFOing asap.
Anyway. On the gaming front I finally finished the main story of Heat Signature. Great game and I'll keep playing though I can't help but want more - an expansion or sequel maybe? Don't really know what to play next beyond usual multiplayer games like Dom 5, Aliens Fireteam and Insurgency.
WHAT

The right one is out there my friend....
Just steer clear of the ones with degrees in Sociology and Colonial studies... ;)

That's liberal California for you. I hear the inland parts are a bit more sane.

LOL thanks bud, I appreciate the kind words O0 :DD
Let me understand...you're white, the woman was sitting across from you and told you she hated white people? And had white people in her family??
The setting wasn't so formal, but basically yeah. The context was there was an old white woman in line in front of us complaining about a $2 coupon, and after we left I made a comment about how obnoxious that was, and she turned it into a racial thing and followed it up with that comment. Fairly baffling, but I guess she felt disarmed enough to say that to me, since contempt for white people is socially acceptable around here.
This is mind boggling. Forgive me for asking but do you look like something other than white - so she could possibly think you are something else? I don't understand such mindless...idiocy, for lack of a better word.
Nope, I'm about as whitebread as they come :2funny: I think she's mixed, so maybe she feels she has the white person equivalent of an "N-word card"?
Well at least you said you're running away from the madness, which renews my faith in humanity.
That's tough al. Maybe she was just playing the part because she thought that's what people are supposed to do now days. It wouldn't do for me to date again. I'd probably have to carry a Tranquilizer Dart Gun with me every time I went out. :coolsmiley:
It's a test!
I just said to The Wife a few days ago how lucky we were to not have to date in the internet age.
True that. My Wife probably wouldn't give me a second look today. :hide:
Mine neither :/
WINNING!
On the other hand, were it not for the internet, I never would have met my wife. We met on an online dating service. She literally just joined when I snatched her up. She's totally one-in-a-million and would not have been there long.
Overall, I really enjoyed meeting people online. I met a lot of people that I never would have met otherwise and had a lot of fun doing so. Still, it was the early days of the internet dating scene, well before apps like tinder, etc. You actually had to prepare a creative message about yourself in order to get anyone's attention. Now it is all about pictures and swiping to the right or left.
Damned kids and their rotary phones.

With all their swippin' and swippin' and tikkin' and tokkin'!
^Hahaha so many things I can follow-up with but I'll be a swell feller and refrain...carry on
And even with all that fancy Doo-Dad-ery, they still can't stay off my grass. >:(
I like the cut of your jib, Devoncop.
