All I want is another FRIDAY

Pete Dero · June 30, 2017, 02:43:53 AM

Will probably play Cold Waters and some War in the East or War in the West.

JudgeDredd · June 30, 2017, 04:37:14 AM

Nice tune. Love that era, genre and sound - and The Ronettes!!

Probably Ghost Recon:Wildlands, Star Wars:Rebellion boardgame and if I get it finished, maybe my new PnP game Advanced Platoon Leader

JudgeDredd · June 30, 2017, 04:38:42 AM

I see PhotoBucket has decided to take something else away from me because I haven't renewed my "please don't bombard me with shite adverts" subscription.

They can go and **** themselves.

Switch to Flickr.. You're not going to do any TableTop Simulator with us? >:D

Gusington · June 30, 2017, 06:51:50 AM

Fallout 4 and that Deep Rock Whatchamawhozit with JH et al.

* Finish the Warfighter mission on TTS that JD and Nef and I are running.

* Test out Deep Dwarf Rock or whatever it's called some more, this time with the actual alpha crew hopefully! ::)

* Finish my Kings of Israel tutorial sample gameplay video for the Sabrenieces.

* Not sure what if anything I'll play with the Bro Sat night and Sun afternoon, since the Sabrenieces are out of town with Ishy. But maybe something.

* Lure more unsuspecting souls into TTS? >:D Ideally including Bro.

* I'll definitely be making time for the next turn of my DC1: Blitz game vs Barthheart, once I get a turn back. ;)

Three day weekend here. <:-)

Do turn 6 for DC1: Warsaw to Paris PEBM with JP.... sorry for the delay.... Origins and aftermath....

Get Advanced Platoon Leader to the table, just need to cut up counters and I'm ready to go.

Some more SD44... trying to make a semi-historical Battle for Hill 112 scenario... tough working within the constrains of the game... the in-game map is fun to play on though.

Some work on my Miata... idle is still too rough... some reading indicates that I might need to take the throttle body apart and super clean it... holiday Monday work.

Group of friends and their kids coming over on Sunday for a swim and BBQ... need to work up a menu for that.

More minis gaming tonight - Northwest Frontier this time.

Cold Waters this weekend. Maybe something on the Xbox - bunch of games I've been neglecting.

-budd- · June 30, 2017, 09:02:24 AM

I wonder if photo bucket is the same for me? I agree with Dredd, fu** them and there shi* ton of ads, I'll delete all my stuff and move on. Gaming wise I'll be getting bent over by the RNG in Darkest Dungeon and strangley enough loving it. Hope for Deep Rock Galactic multi with some grogs. My pbem partner is back from vacation and we're looking for something new to try pbem wise.

JasonPratt · June 30, 2017, 09:15:49 AM

Oh, I remember more stuff!

* I have made initial preparations for installing my favorite PS2 games on my PC. This shall be accomplished. Among a few other things: the tactical glory of Lucasfilm's GLADIUS!

mirth · June 30, 2017, 09:17:35 AM

Gladius is a great game.

Rayfer · June 30, 2017, 09:53:16 AM

Great song selection PD...brings back memories of my High School days. My one and only Steam sale purchase thus far (there will be more) was a very old RPG Divine Divinity for 49 cents. Nostalgia strikes again...having some fun with it but this won't last long.

JasonPratt · June 30, 2017, 09:58:24 AM

Forgot, 2! -- I'll reprint this from the new thread I posted this morning about the news.

Command Ops 2 has been on Steam for several months, but those of us who bought it on LnL's own site have been unable to convert our accounts to Steam until now.

UNTIL NOW! <:-) :bd:

http://forums.lnlpublishing.com/threads/steam-keys-for-lnlp-customers-now-available.3611/

God help you if you didn't keep the information for logging into your LnL account, maybe. ;) Early reports are that the system (once you log in) works flawlessly tho.

Note 1: originally the devs said they were going to focus on finishing Volume 8, Patton's Charge, before doing the Steam keys. However, I noticed a week or two ago that the devs said they were going to prioritize doing the Steam keys now instead of Vol8, and in fact had expected the functionality last Thursday or Friday (in time for the start of the Steam Summer Sale, perhaps coincidentally. ;) )

So this doesn't mean Vol8 is finished, although it might mean the package has been delayed somewhat more than expected.

Note 2: the volumes are part of the Steam sale, and are currently US$15 each (or 50% off). If you buy the volumes in bulk all at once, though, they're 63% off.

So I'll definitely be upgrading those to Steam promptly this weekend. :bd:

The news topic thread also discusses what things have been fixed and what not (and easy manual fixes usually).

http://grogheads.com/forums/index.php?topic=19923.msg535277#msg535277

UI scaling hasn't been fixed, and probably never will be (due to the engine not really being rebuilt), but easy manual solutions are available that usually work. The devs should at least repatch with modern fonts, however, which we learned this spring are part of the problem. This has not yet been done, iirc.

The black-screen menu bug, has however been fixed.
