Another week....

So what have I been doing....

Breachway Demo....

The Breachway demo(Steam) has been an interesting one, the more I play the more it reminds me of FTL; But with changes that are it's own thing(card based or not). Some updates have changed things as it's been active so I guess the devs have found a demo useful for feedback. I've enjoyed it to potter away with. Not that I've gotten very far in the game. But I've been playing it 'casual'. Definitely a game to keep my eye on.

Crying Suns....

Has received a large update (Last Orders). While I've not played the game in a while, this update has  reinvigorated my interest in it. More danger but more playable elements as well. It's got a lot of content/action in journeying. The difficulties also feel better as well. A dedicated team tweaking things to fine tune it is a good thing.

This latest run I chose the 'evil'(?) ending..... Another one checked off the list... More achi's to go not that that's a driving motivator...

PowerWash Simulator....

It is what it is and I've been doing it. Powering away. The Treehouse, Washroom, Carousel and Temple with associated achievements are done. 

While there's an enjoyment in the doing of the game(craving the ding), I was also into a lot more 40k vids on the youtubez on the side....Luetin09 - YouTube

As good as things were going the next site, the Helter Skelter and it's achi proved a problem. My failure was that an item was cleaned before the lights were fully done, which ruining the achi... Accidents happen. I'll have to retry for that once the entire site is clean and available on the free play mode..... 

Onwards and upwards, lots to come with the game.

Darkest Dungeon....

Hitting week 90(not that that matters) in my radiant run. Easy mode in name only..... It's the Darkest Dungeon so it's not all wine and roses but in comparison to all my harder, complete runs it's vacation time in the hamlet. Fun in it's doing and enjoyment in it's randomness(for the most part). As I play it I've also been enjoying re-watching an old youtube series from BaerTaffy from back in the day when he first started in the game in it's early access. It's good to see how far both the game and he has come as well as seeing his learning process for the game.

My run has some of the final dungeon boss forms to defeat. Gibbering Prophet, Brigand 16 Pounder, Beguiling Siren and the Drowned Crew. No run done yet in the actual darkest dungeon, crimson court or farm(for boss). I'm building up a base (pun) in building up the hamlet and heroes. 

So I've not yet triggered the Brigand Incursion(Vvulf), the Fanatic, Crimson curse or the trinket stealing Shreiker, nor stuck a torch in it to battle the Shambler. Slow but sure. Lots of fun to look forward to yet. Again no rush in tuns so it's 'casual' in that regard... Perspectives eh. 

That's not to say I've not come across the Collector and the Thing(or both one after the other), they can prove challenging the later in a run they're encountered. At least I'm experienced and can make the best of a bad situation. Tooting my own horn for sure(R N G be praised?).

All said and done the town is getting there.

Eve Online....

For my sins of being a player who's into the game, I've used the Weekend fleet pack to enable 10 alts. Yea I'm a sucker. The need to manage gear, items and 'play' the game my way made it make sense; To be able to claim all the Omega rewards on each character. Cos reasons.

Gameplay is subjective; A fleet of 4 characters, alts, going 40+ jumps (there and back) to collect ships/gear.... It's not really gamplay. Yea I could have contracted that to be someone eles problem job but as much as I could say I didn't want to do the journey I really didn't want to spend the cash on alts for another alt. I have the isk.... It just didn't seem right at the time. 1 a.m. choices. 

I did come across something that went down.... 

From the kill history it looks like a system that gets freighters ganked where freighters go to die. https://evemaps.dotlan.net/system/Ohide/kills 

Freighter prices going up now even more again I guess.

Eve gameplay is gameplay for me. Character maintenance, tweaking ships/fits and asset management. PI/sales and production. Mining on the side. Oddly enough I've not been doing any PvE mission content or Abyssals.

Star Trek Online.....

Gameplay on both PC and Xbox continues with the usual good as well as the bad. Still grinding my gears in the events new TFO(on pc, xboc sure to follow when the content hits) with 'pick up groups'. Even after 2 weeks the cluelessness of players about the tactics is a tale of woe. Yesterday my wife and I started on the middle lane, finished it's objectives(didn't kill everything, a player does not need to kill everything). Then we went on to complete the right lane in full(not sure what that player was doing(more active than afk but still)); And then we did the second half of the third lane(the player there may have had a clue but it also could have been blind luck).... Also of note on that lane was a player in an Enterprise J. A big expensive and/or rare ship to get. 2% drop chance or the guts of 2 Billion EC on the exchange. Either way no matter the players efforts they had no clue how to use it. Again I was in my newest KDF in an old T5 retrofit from an in game anniversary free gift(and a little knowledge). 

Should I complain, yea it has to be vented. It's just too obvious not to. I'm a casual player but there are too many players with no effort, at all. Makes me wonder why they are in the 'game', it's not for accomplishment.... Or player interaction.......

No affiliation but once again a good read: https://www.stobetter.com/new-f2p    

I've been doing my usual pottering about with characters, ships and their builds. Really looking forward to seeing if the new set makes a real difference to my mains lil ol webmesher (https://sto.fandom.com/wiki/Tholian_Mesh_Weaver).

Although it ends today I've never been into the Vanity shield for Dil 'happening', none of them really appealed to me but a Dil sink is a Dil sink. Which I guess is a good thing..... If it had bigger results/impact on the game that might be better/good?.... It is what it is. I'm not complaining honest.... 

I'm much more of a Phoenix prize person as a Dil sink, roll on the next one of those.

There was another freebie from Alienware, always nice to get cash items for free. Something extra to boost characters and the account in general. Not many games do that....
