Same'ol, same'ol.....

Not to hammer on an ongoing point..... The more things change, the more they stay the same... And that time flies.....

Same'ol, same'ol. 
 
So whats new.... More of the same.
 
 
 
Interesting to see news of the [2K Launcher] Complete Sunset.  I saw this as an update for XCOM: Chimera Squad; But many games are listed.
 
  
 
Seems Homeworld 3 has reached the end of the line with the 1.3 update. From Eurogamer:
 
The game is still on my wishlist, but I think it'll be on sale sooner than I originally thought.... But this news is making me think deep sale now instead.... 
If the patch is the be all and end all, I hope it really does get one or two more balancing patch the patch fixes..... Rather than the game getting this last one and being dropped like a hot potato..... 
There's a lot more at stake than just fixing a game, keeping hope alive for the futre of the franchise after the 3'rd game.....   Yet I still get whiffs of Mass Effect Andromeda from this news, and we all know how that got 'fixed' in the end...
 
 
 
Star Trek Online is more of the same. Meaning my Mirror character is progressing, now max level with all the trimmings starting to take shape(reputations, ship modules etc).
 
There's still a way to go yet but he's 80% there, last 20% being the hardest or should that be time based longest...


He's now my current primary character for all things including the daily event participation and endeavours. Loving the ship more on PC than on Xbox and I'm surprised at that given I'm loving it there. I think that's due to pc control being easier to take advantage of the directional boosts(at least for me).

With the news of Ambassador Kael leaving the team and his mystery gifting news I was unsure of what it would be. I'm not that in the know even to speculate. Still the odds were it being a ship(kinda what the game is, so 'duh'); But the news was due and it hit alright. Nice account unlock themed ship and outfits. The Grand Nagus celebrates Black Friday with a Gift!


So I'll be claiming that on my characters. Had to do it on my Ferengi first, the rest later and then see if it's a ship my main Ferengi will take as his own or keep his standard D'Kora.
The ships battle module is of interest as I'm into the missile systems just on aesthetics alone. Could be cool to combine it with the mission reward 'Kentari Mass-Produced Missile Launcher'. I see fun ahead regardless of the DPS.
 
 
 
Eve Online is more of the same, mains and alts, dailies and activities in the moment.
Overall both myself and my co-corp mate are both as into Industry as ever. Given he's as good as 12 hours in the time difference it's almost like were on shift work; With only the handover mails/contracts as interactions. Keeps us busy. Each to their own. Besides I still have me, myself and my alts. Keeps me busy.








Euro Truck Simulator 2 had another update of meaning, seems they are really keeping up the best of the best in content changes and fixes. Quality of life doesn't do it justice. Euro Truck Simulator 2: 1.53 Update Release
 
Kinda looking forward to the new DLC. As well as the Winter/Christmas event.
 
 
 
With a bit of a push to finish off the end of the game I did just that with the Stick of Truth. As I said last time, the game holds up as fun to play and fun to laugh at. 


 
But that prolonged ending multi-boss fight is a slog. A very real sense of having come so far may as well push to the end.



 
After finishing the game only had the Gore fight left and finished it off. But leaving only a few days between that and starting the second game was too soon; I'll leave it for a 'while'.
