General / Off-Topic Just Finished Doing Something More Exciting Than Elite, Or Any Other Current Space Game.

Grindy, same same all the time repeat are raise ;)

Wake up!
Make coffee
Walk the dogs
Chase critters out of the woodshack
Say howdy to my neighbour
yell at dogs because jumping in the pool
open laptop, go on forums :)
 
i did something that was quite exciting today.

after a Steam client update a few months ago, many of my games suddenly stopped working - they'd just crash immediately on launch. all of them were using the Unity Engine, apart from Prey.

finally tracked it down to RivaTuner, the companion utility to MSI Afterburner (set its game detection level to 'none' - you'll lose the on-screen display but the game will work again) and also running the game directly from its .exe instead of the normal 'rungameid' Steam shortcut.

yay. seriously, yay.
 
I woke up.

...I think that's enough achievements for today.

Yes, one should not over do it on a sunday morning. -_-

Exactly. The most common cause of disappointment are disproportional expectations.

Said every married guy who is suffering from the 7 year itch, married a babe and 7 years later wakes up beside a troll with cankles and bingo wings and multiple memberships to slimming clubs. Some guys never learn

Went to the store.
Unpacked groceries.
Did laundry.
Took out trash. :)

So ye went to the store and unpacked their groceries...in the store I assume? And ye did their laundry too yer such a sweet guy but hey look, ye took out their rubbish too...I nominate you fer best minion ever...can we paint ye yellow now?

Im guessing ye went home after a hard day in the orifice ^
 
yep, "all of them were using the Unity Engine, apart from Prey." - for a long time i was blaming Unity Engine as the cause until i discovered that Prey wouldn't work either

I think it was something with colliding Steam and MSI overlays, rather than a specific engines.
 
Graphics are good though. So good you can literally smell how terrible it is.

RL is like that. Amazing graphics and sound design, but clunky interface, no manual, pay-to-win, nobody can do anything about the trolls or griefers, the grind is terrible, lots of arguing and screaming about it on the internet, and the end-game is meh.

I would at least appreciate some kind of checkpoint or quicksave functionality. Sometimes I want to try some risky stuff, but this ironman thing the R/L has going is annoying.

Hmmm

"Why take life so seriously
If it's an amazing adventure from which nobody will get out alive anyway?"

Or smth like that


Oooh there's one I love, and FDev are finally catching up to:
"even if you're on the right track, you'll be run over if you just sit there"
