wowcrendor content has been interesting with the WoW pre patch imminent.
Cubold Gaming had a bit of an interesting(for non list based reasons) list of Top 10 Best Free Open-World Games on Steam; But I'm not sure I'd have put Eve Online at No.1 Top 10 Best Free Open-World Games on Steam
Razbuten had an good video on game Rewards Are Weird
gameranx had another good one: 10 Good Games That DIDN'T SELL WELL
And Accursed Farms had an update on the state of Dead Game News: Response from the European Commission
A busy yet not so busy week with a lot of chill no pressure 'meh' gaming; That and melting in the heat of the current weather.... So not a lot done.
The most of which was in Star Trek Online and Eve Online.
Star Trek Online has seen all the usual, again more on Xbox than on PC; And all the same kinds of gamplay. Endeavours, events, quick character by character maintenance etc...

The xbox expansion freebie was claimed on my Delta Fed human, another to add to her growing collection.

The red alert rewards were good additions but I saw an additional token of a Captain upgrade in my account bank(as you do) so I applied that to my Breen character. I must have missed it before....

After finally claiming the free Phoenix token on
all my PC characters I went into my Ferengi alt and saw he already had
the Nandi.... I'm not surprised but I really, really thought he'd not got
it.... Confusing him with my main on Xbox(who got it free). Which means I've no use for the free token on any
character on PC...... I'm not unappreciative but it is what it is. On Xbox that will be a different story!
Seems I had to search my own blog to find a post from 2021 where I'd said I'd used the Nandi on my Ferengi alt before putting him in a Marauder... Oops!
As I'd not been back to the Ferengi character in a long while I took a look at the Nandi fit and reworked it with my current understanding of items and gameplay. Still a fun ship to fly.

While I don't often bítch and moan about the game, this blog has seen me do so about players. In general.This last week was a bit of an overload on that front. A boiling point of frustration which boiled over. Which I'll vent here. Not that it's really been all that much in the grand scheme. As examples I'll give one instance on PC and another on Xbox that are indicative of 'things' that have been 'grinding my gears'.
Xbox, like on PC has many players with shiny ships(paid for one way or another) who have no idea how to play the game. Who make me want to say 'nice ship, pity you can't use it'. My frustration in both the way they 'play' the game; Their expectation and their frustration at ássploding/respawn times 20 is not my concern(they can do as they wish) but in itself is my frustration. What's worse and more frustrating for me is their attitude. The reality of their actions and explosion is the flip opposite of what they 'think' they are doing(i.e. winning). Then they stay dead 50% through the TFO and do nothing else. So yea 'nice ship, pity you can't use it'...
PC as on Xbox the paid for(real world or in game) shiny ship players attitude is so much stronger. Like a repugnant pungent stench. Case in point, player in a Kelvin timeline dread, straight off as the tfo intro counts down, he mouths off that the group and the ships they/'we' are in. (as in we are not going to get the TFO done and better ships needed). Bla bla bla. Surprise he's the one that ássploded more. And yes the group did struggle but nothing teamwork could overcome, which it was. I'm all for the team work. There's noting more enjoyable than a struggle and victory as underdog ships/players complete something together. Anyway, during the TFO we did struggle, players helped each other at points to defend and progress. I arrived at a point where a struggling player had just died and so did said Mr Superiority complex. He had a problem with me getting there as 'wasn't it obvious he was more than enough'. How do I know, well he did the passive aggressive thing of stopping combat and flying straight to my ship. So ok I get it.... I flew on to the next point. Yet behind me I could see him get swarmed and killed. I laughed to myself but whatever. What a knob! etc etc etc. So he stayed dead for the rest of the TFO.... I'm not one to name and shame but he had a full written up bio, lots of accolade points and titles; He was a player who has 'playing' the game!!!! One I'd say still didn't know a gód damn thing! This was an event TFO........ He was this bad and had such an attitude ... in an event TFO! How much his high end elite 'friends' must carry him.....?
Venting aside, all I'm saying is that as much information is online, as good as groups are in game; Talk about 'lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink'..... Never mind know what H2O is.....
So I guess waffle/rant over.....
CasualSAB had an interesting news update. I don't watch all his content but his news ones are good.
Eve Online.... Has seen me get back into the game in a bigger way(for general gamplay). In using my alt to help my friend do his industry I started to 'get back into' some of my old PvE casual carebear ways. Missions(many, many), mining, P.I. Abyssal's, hauling, tweaking fits and reworking setup's etc. Fun in 'just' doing.`
Captain Benzie had a good video out on The New Upwell Haulers EXPLAINED!! || EVE Online
