He-sus, good work. Although my greenhouse is more efficient than yours. That’s the only thing though, the rest is a cobbled together mess.

I take it you’ve got iridium sprinklers in there, then. I was keeping my refined iridium bars for tool upgrades, but I’ve now got a steady source of iridium ores, so I’m getting there.

Yeah. Went straight for sprinklers as thought the tool upgrades weren’t worth the effort.

Played Gorogoa for maybe an hour. I really like it. Just the surreality of it and the way everything changes and fits together. Some of the puzzles are quite smart as well, even with only a handful of elements in play.

I get the feeling it'll be short-lived though. It's probably not an idea that can be stretched out forever anyway, but it would be kind of nice if it got quite complex before coming to an end.

13 hra into Yakuza 0, just keeps getting better.  The real estate system is so simple and ridiculously addictive.  The way it integrates with the rest of the game is genius.

Yes lads. Fucking yes.

What a game.

Yeah, love the Japanese dialogue 
I hate walking / talking games but the script is awesome from the gangster turf wars to the bizarre side quests.
Give me this over any of the GTA games any day of the week.

GTA games are fun to mess around in for 30 minutes, getting your wanted rating up, causing explosions, nicking cars and shit, but playing the actual story is where the human soul goes to die.

I enjoyed all GTAs other than 4.
5 was a fucking riot.

I enjoyed GTAV at the time, but trying to play the story again recently I just found it to be pretty dreadful tbh. I think mainly I just don't care about or like the characters.

Immortal Unchained.

100% Sci Fi Souls rip off.

(Structured like Demons, complete with a Nexus.)

Flawed, and I may well just quit in frustration at some point, but if they're active with patching and feedback, then it could be great.

The ill vibe is excellent.

Movement is ok, and I'm reserving judgement as it may well be part of the levelling and character choice that some things feel sluggish.

Lock on is a little too flakey and grenade throwing fucking SUCKS.

Could go either way. 

The question will be what happens when I hit the Capra equiv. WIll the hooks be in enough to deal with the frustration, or will it have sufficient shitness in design for me to go FML and on to the next one.

Yeah have found that - which graphic card are you using?

So after life exploded I decided to get into some proper comfort blanket gaming and play around with Total Warhammer 2 again.

I deleted all of my saves apart from the original Lizardman one which I'd love to go back to, and started with the new free Legendary Lord for the Dark Elves, the Dread Corsair himself, Lokhir Felheart. 

I wasted about 10 hours over a few campaigns trying to make the most of his awful starting position where you're besieged on all sides by Skaven, Dwarves, High Elves, Tomb Kings, Lizardmen... and internal riots as Lokhir's iron handed rule prevents any great peace from emerging. I am not good enough at the game to get a foothold, so abandoned him, even though his Corsairs are a great bunch of lads and I could probably do better if I tweaked my strategy a bit.

I decided to go for an easier start by picking the high elf prince Tyrion, and doing my best to unite Ulthuan. Fuck, what a totally different game. It puts you right smack bang on the southern quarter of a ringed island filled with the duplicitous High Elf nobles, including Queen Allarielle, and expects you to Unite or Conquer them by spending a custom resources to curry favour. It's really hard work, a lot like playing The Empire in TW1, as every faction is linked to the others in a web of lies and slander. Confederating and absorbing the other factions into yours is the best tactic, but it starts to cripple you economically as the Elves make most of their cash through trade, so by turn 90 there are only 3 Elf factions left that I haven't confederated, and one of them absolutely hates my guts because I am power hungry. 

I have transformed Tyrion into a mad god-king, an unstoppable beast in combat who wields the ancient blade Sunfang, and can hold up entire armies on his own. He has spent years crushing the Undead Pirate forces that have besieged Ulthuan under his silver boots, and has an elite army of Lothern Sea guard who basically kill any approaching army before they even reach the front lines, such is their marksmanship.

The Undead Pirates are new too, and  one of those features that really makes TW2 excel. If you don't buy the DLC races, it doesn't matter, because they're put int he game as AI enemies for you to fight. The most recent is the vampire Coast expansion which introduce an army of Pirates of the Caribbean style enemies into he game, undead raiders dredged up from the seas by immortal Vampire Pirates. Their units are so varied, from old cannons and mortars flanked by bomb throwing deckhands, to snipers carried by giant bats and great Promethean hulks that shove their crablike bulk through spear-walls with impunity. Adding them in has added a lot of flavour to a game already bursting with it.

Next steps are to forge Westward, and take on the tropical jungles of Lustria, and hopefully depose the bloated Slaan mages that prop up the crumbling Lizardman empire, and eventually cut off the head of the treacherous Druchii snake, and my bastard uncle, Malekith.

As Tyrion is fond of saying, I am Aenerion reborn, and I guess with that comes being an absolute shithead and a monster in combat. It's a good time.

Notebook. Nvidia gt555m. But apparently even gtx1080 suffers from the same problem. Might be the denuvo anti piracy thing it ships with?

There is a fix for Nvidia I believe, I have an integrated gpu and there is no way round it bar skipping the scene or pushing it forward on another pc and synching the save on steam

First area down, bosses not as hardcore as DS, and very much stealing from it's move set.

Apparently there's a bit of redoing them,so I assume they get harder on second and third goes.

They fucking nail the opening up shortcuts thing in the first level. It's brilliant.

Second area is a lot less impressive. Smells like it's going in early as the nasty cheap swampy level....

And so that's yer immortal unchained Uninstalled.
