Gaming

They're certainly not following behind me seeing as I'm last.

Anyway... the later Mass Effect games have no inventory system.
The legendary edition of the first game has an inventory limit of 300 items.
The version I'm playing has only half that number. Half.

And I'm getting warnings that I'm getting close.
So I need to convert some things into the sometimes-useful Omni-Gel but it's hard work scrolling through everything trying to work out what I don't need, followed by what my squad members don't need, followed by the stuff not needed by team members who aren't currently in the squad but will be later.

Or maybe I should just tweak that ini file to give me more space.

...and I can now successfully revive the poor people who have to follow my stupid orders.

Is this a condor above me?

 

I have to take a photo of a condor in The Crew and it's a bit difficult to spot the birds while you're zooming about and crashing on the roads and it's even more difficult trying to work out what they are.
I've snapped this one three times and the "quest" hasn't ended so...
Maybe that's an eagle?
Yeah, I think it is.
Ok, what about this one...

 

Yay!
The quest is complete so that must indeed be a condor. I wasn't confident. I thought it was a vulture.

Also the GPS in this game is questionable...
 

So you want me to drive to that corner and then go vertically up the cliff face???


​​​​​​Anyway I've been having fun with the free driving. I still haven't worked out how to begin an actual race so I've just been doing the random events I've found on the map like deliveries, the photo opportunity and some "escapes" where you have to get a certain distance from a specific point before the time runs out. And I've obviously been staying away from planes.
And judging by the erratic bouncing of other vehicles I'm certain that some of them are live players so I've been staying away from them too. But that hasn't stopped some emotes coming my way. One person "approved" but was then "doubtful" before finally being "happy".

I have no idea what any of this means.
​​​​

Yes, the first one is an eagle... and the second. Is a vulture. Condors are large vultures...

And emojis make very little sense. That's why we use them so much here...

So called because they have feathers rather than hair on their heads.  

Coyote.
This one was easier than the condor because there weren't any other dog-shaped things in the area.
 

And I've worked out how to compete in the normal races now. It's easier to do it via the UI/Interface/Menu thing rather than driving around and trying to find and get to them on the map, which is surprisingly large.
I did OK on the off-road time trial things but I was about 150,000 on the leaderboard so I'm not gonna be challenging any records soon.

Oh, and I turned off the emotes from other players. So whatever they did today... I didn't see it.
I can still see them driving around though so I'll continue to try extra hard to not crash into them.

I kinda wish more games would do that Death Stranding thing and actually tell you what song is playing at special moments. I was just having a sing along in ESO to a really good one and then ended up spending ages skipping through the enormous soundtrack on YouTube trying to find it.
I didn't find it.
And now I've forgotten how it goes.
