No one did a Friday thread. :sad: Y'all are forcing me to take disciplinary measures. Whenever that happens, I'm going to post a Saturday thread, featuring bad music from the past. Today, it is "Disco Duck", an deservedly forgettable song from 1976.
Now don't screw up again, and force me to bring out "Afternoon Delight." You have been warned..... :evil:
Me? BoC work. Fight Club work. I'm out in the Matrix games "Campaign Flashpoint" tournament, as we didn't get our required moves done in time. Still plugging away in Borodino as the Russians in the USMC tournament.
That 'song' reached n° 3 in our Top 40 :huh:
Some Baldur's Gate 3 for the weekend.
I have 4 hex wargames, new to me, to pick one from this weekend:
1) Panzer Campaigns Smolensk 41
2) Flashpoint Campaigns: Southern Storm
3) Attack at Dawn: North Africa
4) Decisive Campaigns: Ardennes Offensive
I keep wanting to get back to DC Ardennes after buying it when it came out and playing a couple times to get the feel for it. Never understood how to use my 88's as Germany.
Instead I'm trying Warplan Pacific for the first time since buying it a couple years ago. Restarted twice after realizing I should have looked at more of the manual. Almost a year into it now.
Steel Division 2 - I have not played it in soooo long. I got that feeling, you know that wholesome feeling you get when you played a game to death and then came back to it millenia later. That freakin awesome feeling.... I loved it!!

Company of Heroes 3 - always a laugh. My friend laughing his head off as hilarious things happened to his men this weekend. Including v2 rocket antics. We also watch the A.I. do donuts with their tanks like only tanks can do, while spinning around in a perfect circle. There was also my squad that survived the whole match with only one model left and half his health.

A few matches of Space Marine 2 multi - I am so bad at this it's not even funny. Possibly because my ping is always so bad.

Age of Empires IV - Who does not like putting crossbowmen on walls. Especially overpowered order of the dragon ones. Looking forward to what they do with the new DLC

Loaded up the Naval Action Test Server just to see how those guys were faring as patches have been coming thick and fast. They massacred the number of ports in game. But all in all it's looking good. People tend to get really angry about the changes and then once the grief is over, they appreciate the changes. Having to carry powder and shot as well as weight affecting ship speed are two that are very polarising. More powder and shot mean slower speeds. Merchants have to carry approx 80% of capacity to get 100% speed. So their are now trade offs. Also no more plantations, it's all about the human based economy. Plus AI port raiders are back.

Having grown up in that Disco era I can understand how a song like this came out. As a child I obviously found it entertaining, even if I didn't understand how lame, adults would see it.
