DCS, Star Citizen, ARMA3 and some stuff on my Oculus Quest 2. Been having fun playing VR in different spots around the house.
Enjoy everyone.

Haven't been playing much lately (actually nothing for the last 2 weeks). Have mostly watched tv shows (Bull, Murder she wrote, Soko Leipzig, FBI: Most Wanted).
I would love to come back to Rise of Venice and one space 4x, not sure which. Interstellar Space Genesis is going to get a new DLC soon so i'll wait until then.

Pumped Up Kicks by Foster the People live on David Letterman.
Believe it or not I am having a blast with Necrovision: Lost Company. Game is 10 years old and last night had a lot of crashes, etc., but I am 2/3 of the way through and love the weapons (there are tons) and of course the WWI horror setting. I think I bought it for like 88 cents in 2012 or something.
Great song, btw.

Thanks. Found another version of it. Excellent. :bd:
Modded Fallout New Vegas.
Fleet Commander Nimitz is all set up and ready to sail.
Forgot to mention that I will be getting the critically acclaimed (and al-infierno supported) Phasmophobia, if anyone wants to join me in soiling their drawers.

Believe it or not
I believe it. What I can't believe is that I'm enjoying Sniper Elite 4. Dopey and surreal though it is. So that and boardgames.
^Now that you mention it I am enjoying NecroVision more than Sniper Elite 4, which I played over the summer. Sniper Elite 4 got a bit repetitive for me, as the other games did too eventually. Probably unfair to compare the two.
If anyone else ends up picking Phasmophobia definitely PM me or Gus. I've got a number of ghost hunts under my belt and can help show y'all the ropes. O0
As for me, I left my job last week and accepted a "voluntary" severance package in what appears to be a COVID-related cost cutting measure. Between that and my savings, I'll be able to live comfortably at least through most of 2021 before I really need a new job, but sooner is better of course. Honestly, I'm pretty OK with how it turned out - I'd been fairly unhappy there from the start, didn't get along with my first manager at all, and my second manager was only marginally better, so I'm just glad they made me an offer instead of making up some bullshit excuse to can me outright.
All this means for me is more time to play wargames and read books. :bd: Aside from the usual rounds of Dom 5 multiplayer, I've been playing Phasmophobia with a full party, which lets us reasonably explore the larger and more sprawling levels like High School and Asylum. Now that I've found myself with a sudden abundance of free time, I've been spending a lot more of it reading. I might even tackle a literary monster like Ulysses or Infinite Jest.
^ Sorry about the bad news. Hope you get a great job soon.
Not sure whether to say congrats or condolences, al...
Thanks, both. I'm leaning more towards congrats ;D
What do you do for a living?
Technical writing, aka writing product manuals nobody ever reads except when they're frustrated because the thing they bought doesn't work. :D
Thankfully there's lots of demand for that in techy areas like Silicon Valley. Worst case scenario, there are a bunch of temp contracts available, but I'd obviously prefer to find another stable employment with benefits...

Great. So when people complain that something reads like "stereo instructions", they have you to blame?
:2funny: Yep, but I like to think the readability of my instructions are closer to Lock n Load Tactical than Advanced Squad Leader, if you get my drift ;)
^You and me, we're the same.*
*in certain key ways
Good song.
Picked up Emperor of the fading Sun so I'll probably spend the weekend trying to figure that game out.
I've got Dominions 5 and Field of Glory Empires PBEMs to play as well.
Any Dominions 5 MP turns that roll through. Other than that, finally got Field of Glory 2 working in Linux (Thank you Proton), so will be getting some MP games going with that perhaps.
I see there's a DCS sale again... that is a game I've really wanted to get into, just haven't had the energy to try.

I'm sorry for the job loss. Best of luck on the job hunt.

Getting back to LnL's Nations at War and Tactical digital thingies, this weekend. Seems there been a few updates since I last played.

I ended up playing a lot of a game called Tales of Glory. It's basically Mount & Blade Bannerlord in VR. Pretty damn impressive and a heck of a work out too.
