Gaming

Not anymore.

Been playing a couple of demos today both of which are similar to Medieval Frontiers except, I think, a bit more violent. I haven't actually gotten to any violence yet.

The first one, Bread and Blood, had absolutely no directions when you first started so I didn't even know what I was doing and I think you had like an hour demo time, 10 minutes of which was already spent on character creation Then, once I got the hang of what to do it was night, I couldn't see anything and I tried to sleep but then I was robbed. So I gave up. Might try again with the 45 or so minutes I have left.

The second one, Nested Lands, is so far focused more on crafting and building and doesn't seem to have a timer for the demo, which is good because that would be stressful. So far I have apparently reached the spot to build my village (perhaps in the full game you get to choose the site? No idea) and I have built some structures and gone to sleep. Next up is finding villagers to join me, but for now I need to actually go to sleep.

The main nuisance so far is that I seem to need 2-3 baths a day for my hygiene to not become terrible (which increases the risk of the plague spreading apparently). Or maybe my swims have just been too short dips, and I need to stay in the water for longer. Will have to try that, next time.

I just gave Daggerfall a try. Geez, how did we ever manage to play games back in the day? I'm not even through the tutorial and my wrist already hurts.

So.... GOG has a giveaway, for a game called Nexus where you play a guy named Marcus

Meanwhile the current Epic freebies are
- I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream
- River City Girls 2

So the hacker was looking for game ideas.

Next week's giveaway will be about a tired, failed artist who is afraid of hands.

While I was on GoG grabbing my game about me I saw that Cyberpunk 2077 is on sale, so I decided to treat myself to an early birthday present and... 83gb download 

Annoyingly I can't even play that anymore, despite owning it, after GeForceNow moved it to the premium tier.
Pesky NVidia!

I'd completed the opening chapter/part and the last thing I remember is attacking some flamingos and chasing after depressed taxis.

Nvidia are indeed scum of the highest order 

 

 

Indeed I will
