Gaming

I think I understood most of it... But I was mostly focused on how odd it sounds when someone calls themselves by their online alias.... like Jujubear...

EDIT: also, while I was playing the original Subnautica it seems they released the latest update for below zero

EDIT2: which in turn means I shouldn't turn off my computer because Epic/Below Zero is a bit busy right now...

You're doing better than I am then.

my whole stash of about 50 stalker teeth and all my titanium disappeared over night!!!

I guess you can't store things on the ocean floor anymore
(You can't in below zero but I thought it was still possible in the original)

EDIT: yup they seem to have increased the space in those floating lockers instead.

Also I don't bloody recognise the map anymore! Where are those beacon pieces!?
No, not bacon - beacon!

EDIT again: Finally another beacon! I don't remember them being so hard to find. But Grav traps are everywhere. I never found a good use for those...

My stick is better than beacons

Assassin's Creed: Syndicate is now free from Epic.
AND it works on Geforce Now which means I'm able to play it!






Meanwhile in Witcher 1... I'm not getting quite as bored as Banj is in the third one but I do seem to have crossed a difficulty threshold without realising. The other day while walking through the swamps I would usually get harrassed by one or two drowners, maybe four at worst, but now they seem to attack in packs of eight. Nine? Ten!!!
And they dodge my swordy swings. I can't walk five steps without being set upon.

Thanks for the headsup on Assassins Creed.

As for the Witcher I remember the drowners starting to ignore me as I got more skilled at killing them
(But they just might have attacked in droves before then. As far as I recall they were fairly easy to kill, as one attack would take out several at once...)

...installation.... 4%

On Geforce Now the games "install" super quick in just a few minutes even when they're not cached. They must have amazing internet at their data centres.

I prefer the controls for the older AC games even though they were confusing the first time. This one has you pressing shift a lot more during action sequences and at one moment the tutorial asked me to press W, Shift AND Space at the same time and my poor left hand went into cramp.
I may need a trip to the settings menu to change that.

And after mentioning how tedious the tracking quests were becoming, imagine how overjoyed I was when I had a quest to use my Witcher senses to follow a trail of footprints which changed into a trail of blood and then into a trail of odour. Yay, finally some variety
