Post, no post, post....

The joy of making a mistake is better when making two mistakes at the same time. One directly after the other; Also known as deleting the entire contents of a blog post while also doing a save of that now blank page. No undo recovery. So yea, there's that. Taaa-Daaa! So I'm gonna cut much of this waffle short.

Over the last week of so I've picked up two games in the sales; Detroit Become Human and The Great War Western Front. I'd watched at least two or more playthroughs(over the years) regarding Detroit Become Human including alternative 'options'(here and here). I'd played the demo but never 'felt' the need to get it. But a sale is a sale and it's still a game that interested me. The Great War Western Front has seen me watch one playthrough and that got me interest to wish-list it. For both a sale was what was needed. As to when I'll play them.... Lets just say I've many games I've not played... Yet!....... Yet? This is the way.

Maj0r Lee had an entertaining take on Starfield: Sue me, I enjoyed Starfield - Underrated Game Review Still not a game I'll 'be into' but fun to see the 'conversations'.

Unsurprisingly Star Trek Online has seen most of my MMO gameplay. Mainly on PC but Xbox has seen it's fair share. On Xbox I was a day late to the T6 token; I'd expected it to be available for the same amount of time as on PC. Seems I wasn't the only person to think that and a few days later the token was put back up for players to claim.

And claim it I did, as soon as I saw that tweet! I'll wait for the end of the month to see if anything takes my fancy and claim it.

 

  

 

Both iterations of the game are seeing me do event dailies and general gameplay for 'fun' as well as endeavors on the new KDF characters. With the 14th anniversary event now on xbox I've done what I did on PC; My characters are now indulging in many a balloon. The Balloon's must flow!

 

 

With those new KDF characters and the 'fun' of lower level shenanigans I'm actually getting more endeavors done cross platform. Prob the best way for me to do so and get perk points. Fun in popups is a thing.

 

Again on Xbox I've been back to my Jem'Hadar(said as only Martok can) wannabe Breen cos-playing character. Long story short I've not been lucky to get a Breen ship for him via Phoenix prize packs; So I've been pondering what ship to use on him. With a Jem'Hadar specific ship good as I have already, it just doesn't fit the theme. I 'need' to use something 'different'. As long as this stop-gap may have to be. So during the week I'd seen a video from Augmented Dictator Games talking The Best Lobi Ship? - Star Trek Online. My search for a ship seemed to be solved; I had the answer in the Husnock Warship. I'd forgotten that was in the game. Also a good use of spare Lobi from previous campaign rewards... So no 'cost' really. 

That all said I've still got the gear ready for a Breen ship fit so this stop-gap is fitted with the best of the rest. Not ideal but the ship rocks in use(for me). Very fun to blast about in; so it all works out. I've no need to upgrade or enhance things further. This will do. STO die-hard meta players I'm sure will weep and so they should. Casual is casual. In my own ship fitting defense I'd consider this and it's fit better than a lot of other players if they 'spend to win' or not; But who are (to be kind) clueless. It's all a learning process.

 

Powerwash Simulator has replaced Darkest Dungeon as my 'goto' fun faffing about with game. I'm currently clearing(pun?) the bonus jobs. Just because.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Planet crafter is still just about in there with game-time. Although I've all but stopped my export business. There's just no need.

 

 

Portal exploration I feel is 99.99% done with; My gamplay has a sliver of just one more but I think on emore may just be the last.

 

 

 

More Battlestar Galactica has been had. Again with the just because mentality. It's good to get battles and to even repeat them to try and do better with the outcomes. Fun in the doing as always.

The same can be said for Battletech. Fun in the doing feels better in this game if I manage to complete the mission, get the loot and don't damage/loose too much equipment.

 

That mentality reminds me of how I've always played games. Form way back on the C64 playing Silent Service.... A wrecked sub on the seabed after an epic battle, very much akin to this. 

Or even on the Mech side with similar gameplay in Cyberstorm.

Eve Online is eve online but this past week I've paired back on all but P.I. activities. I've been planning to get back on both my main accounts so that I can work on claiming loyalty points to buy BPC's to keep or build frigates for a certain faction. So I'm not there yet, just need to clear up all other assets then get both characters there etc.... Motivation has been lacking so only time will tell.
