What other games are we all playing?

Got nearly hit by a meteor in Deep Rock Galactic while figuring out gear and controls. Apparently I got confronted with the seasonal event series - the Rockpox. Way to go to tell the story. Not that I wanna grind all that stuff but it's 6 y anniversary too and the hub is stuffed with decorations and containment canisters with captured rockpox pathogens. What can go wrong.
I'm gonna unlock some new stuff and play a bit around - microwave gun and corrosive sludge pump sound great.

Playing Hell Let Loose again lately. Been playing Drug Dealer simulator as always, an extremely addictive game (pardon the pun). Also doing a routine replay of Imperator Rome, Crusader Kings 3 and Hearts of Iron 4 which I do every 2 weeks or so lol. Then I'm doing my probably 7th playthrough of Cyberpunk (usually I would never replay anything other than grand strategy games). This time i'm doing a Ninja build, i'm doing every available side quest and activity before progressing the story since the story is quite short. Safe to say few enemies know I'm there before their limbs are flying everywhere.

Other titles I'm dipping into: City of Gangsters (since ive lost all faith for a remake of 1998's Gangsters Organized Crime) , War Thunder (a little bit, I hate the monetization), Fallout 76 (I'm level 69 and alway guns are next to useless, so it's a downer ALWAYS having to rely on melee weapons)., Mount and Blade 2, Elden Ring (with cheats, just because...) and some Total War titles when i'm in the mood.

I'm mainly looking forward to the release of Drug Dealer simulator 2 at the moment, and fingers crossed for some new Elite gameplay loops so I can come back to it.

I'm going to stop posting so many pics of GHPC. Its not too exciting to look at from a graphics view but I had to share my Chopper shots.

It took two good shots to send that bastad smokin to the ground.

And on another topic: Is SF worth 47~ buckaroos (sale price at Steam)?
And on the last game: Thinking about getting Steelbeasts again. GHPC has re-ignited me.

Have a great day

Sometimes going back to old favorites is just what the doctor ordered for some gaming nostalgia! I've been dabbling in a mix of things lately. Coh2 always pulls me in with its intense strategy, Sim City 5 scratches that city-building itch, and there's nothing quite like the chaos of Battlefield 4. Plus, Heroes and Generals brings some solid FPS action to the table. As for what I'm waiting for to bring me back to E:D? Well, I'm not entirely sure. Maybe some fresh updates or expansions that really shake things up. But in the meantime, I've been exploring some apps where you can actually earn real money by playing games. It's kind of wild how gaming has evolved in that regard. Have you ever tried any games that pay to paypal? It's a whole new world for me, but it's been intriguing to say the least.

I'm always going back and forth with games I've had for years, even decades. I've reloaded several old games the past several months such as Mechwarrior, ED:H (haven't played since early 2020), hex map strategy games, all sorts of old military games, etc etc. plus I load/uninstall/load/etc games like Armored Warfare and WoWs until I get sick of them again. (haven't reloaded WoT in many years). I recently loaded up the old HPS Panzer Campaigns - Kursk (hex map game). ... oh, and I still play chess when I can or against the 'puter.
nuff of that reminiscing
Have a great day

I found flamethrower and microwave gun to combo very well in Deep Rock Galactic. Set bugs on fire and give them thermal shock with microwave. In theory this should work with the cryo cannon, too. Engineer unlocked a smart gun - excellent follow-up to my recent CP2077 playthroughs. :LOL:

Just got Star Wars Battlefront classic collection on the Switch - and there’s no option for look inversion!

(Darth Vader Noooooooo! gif)

Looks like I’m waiting for a patch then 🥲 Back to finishing off the Dark Forces remaster in the meantime 😁

Currently playing "add raid card and 6 extra h-drives to an old computer that barely turns on" with interesting results including "physically remove the mobo alarm, because it keeps screaming at me" bonus, and "attach the sata cables only after booting into the OS" to beat the "otherwise it won't boot" boss.

Unlocked all the missing gear in DRG, did a deep dive then did it again for the teamwork. Engineer smart gun and old-skool driller flamethrower paired with new microwaver were my favs. I miss the biotic combos from Mass Effect in coop games. One player primes, the other explodes - booyah! Anyone know any such thing in current coop games?

On a similar vein. I've finally levelled up and beaten the final Boss in Win11.

Having done so now allows me to put the task bar back on the right hand side of the screen (much thanks to ExplorerPatcher for providing the necessary information)

I think I now have a usable machine that does what I want as opposed to what MS wants.

Steelbeasts has been reinstalled. SB2 and GHPC, my two current EA games are going on the back shelf for a while. SB2's big 4.0 update is out but having issues. GHPC is still fun but its got some minor issues with the last revisions. So, ED:H and SB Pro PE will be occupying my limited game time for a while. I haven't touched X4 in weeks (I feel guilty).
Yet another complication with gaming time is motorcycle watching time. I've been amazed at the frequency of public road motorcycle racing in the British Isles. I've been watching all the road racing I can and its mostly there (not here, the US sux big on this topic - what a shame). I found this map and it looks like a lot of fun:

The UK's racing circuits - Google My Maps

Are you keen to find out if the venue you are visiting is a flat airfield circuit, in which case you need to pack a stepladder, or an undulating parkland track, in which case the camping stool and the beer cooler will do just fine? We can help. And yes, we can tell you where Top Gear is filmed...

have a nice day

Started Halo: The Master Chief collection playing all the Halo games in chronological order starting with Reach. I already own the collection...but it's available with remastered graphics etc for the earlier games for free on Gamepass if anyone fancied a 168Gb download.

I'd forgotten how much I enjoyed all the Halo games (until Halo 4 at least) :)

A mate and I are enjoying the co-op campaigns in all of them...I can thank Helldivers 2 for reigniting the itch to play Halo again in the first place...

Mainly playing ED again for the moment, but also Wreckfest.

Haven't had so much fun with a driving game since the days of Demolition Derby on the Playstation.

The races are cool, but its the arenas where you can really get the wrecking on.

Yup, the biggest of those being the TT in the Isle of Man and the Northwest 500 in Ireland. My first trip to the Isle of Man for the TT was back in 1964 on the back of my dad's Vincent HRD, I've been over a few times since then. Those 2 events...for bike racing fans or just bikers who love everything bike...are about as big as Sturgis is in the US for Harley owners. I made the epic trip to Sturgis once many moons ago just to experience it all as a Harley rider.

The 4 of us who went over packed our Harleys into a shipping container then we rode all the way to Sturgis in Meade County, South Dakota once we picked the bikes up at Boston, then all the way back from there to the east coast to pack the bikes up in the container for the trip home. It would have been cheaper (and easier) hiring a couple of Harleys once we got to the states of course...but there's nothing like the epic adventure of riding your own bike, camping out in the wilds, bathing in rivers and streams (with occasional stops at roadside motels for a hot shower) and feasting at 'All you can eat for $5' road stops in my mind :)

One thing that amazed me on that biking trip to the US was that no matter where in the wilderness we stopped, there was always a Harley workshop or 2 dozen friendly bikers living near there. The voltage rectifier on my Evo Harley Springer went claws up the middle of nowhere on the way back from Sturgis...I picked one up for $20 at a really friendly USMC veteran's house after being driven there by a State trooper (also a USMC veteran) who had stopped to ask if we had a problem...not to mention his total bemusement at discovering 4 Scottish soldiers riding Harleys with UK licence plates in the first place... Anyhoo, the Marine veteran picked up my Harley on a trailer, ferried it the few miles to his place and I fitted the new rectifier on his front drive as his wife fed us up with burritos and beer whilst we all told war stories...awesome trip. :)

I won't mention the 20 or so 'Ladies of Harley' who captured us at a roadside diner then wined, dined and entertained us royally at their club hangout in a small town near Madison, Wisconsin on our way back to Boston either. That's a whole other page of off topic material in itself :whistle:

All in all, a once in a lifetime 4,000 mile road trip (roughly 2k miles each way Boston to Sturgis and back) on a motorbike with some very good friends. That it was a true adventure from end to end should sum it up nicely :)

News from the Uboat. Type II is ready for deployment, we get overview about the different types of type II and VII - apparently there is even diffent Torpedovorhalterechner implemented. What a bunch of nerds. My body is ready - klar wie Kadettrinne, but first they do a 1 month beta. When? If only I knew, but I guess soon.
