an un-dead mummified zombie camel! You don't see those every day! Especially in Northern Europe

I tamed a Gazelle!
But the kids on the beach just seemed confused by that.

 

Even the cat wasn't impressed.

 

Unfortunately it ran off once I tried to move a chariot thing...

 

I'd slaughtered the convoy to get more supplies after wasting all my cedarwood for the zombie camel but the empty vehicle was then blocking the road and the other soldiers were getting a bit angry so I thought I'd improve the traffic situation by driving it off and parking it in a better place. but I guess gazelles don't like being passengers.

I wondered why I had a headache today.

 

Stop shooting at me!
The dragon is over there.
But we did all kill it .... collectively and I did shoot some successful arrows for a change.
But more importantly I've now got all my stuff back. Including those 100s of lockpicks that I need to break into everything.
I felt lost without them.

I claimed the currently free Stasis from GOG today...

Got a bit sidetracked by a couple of complicated puzzles in Fallen Order and didn't notice the session clock counting down. Managed to solve it with 10 seconds left but of course there's no save point nearby and I can't even remember the last time I was at one.
I now have literally no idea where it's gonna respawn me the next time I play.
Could be anywhere on this map.

So as well as games having to remind you about forgotten tutorials I also demand that a "Save Here and Quit To Desktop" option should be mandatory.

I see Dink Smallwood is "remixed" and available for free on GOG.
I'm not going to bother getting it, but I did indulge in some nostalgia just looking through the screenies....

I don't remember that one.
But I did grab that previous freebie you mentioned.

Meanwhile Geralt now has a friend.

 

And unlike the other Witcher NPCs that walk in front of you at varying speeds this one insists on running straight into your back, pausing to let you get ahead and then running straight into your back again.
Hey, wait a minute. He hasn't done it for a while. Maybe he's learning?
Nope.

 

What are you doing back there? Firing arrows at random wolves in the distance.
Well, at least he's not afraid of fighting...
Until we get to the ice troll and then he just stands there like Karl Marx.

Well, at least I won't have to try and lead him through a complicated, maze-like set of multi-level dark caves filled with harpies and other nasties.
Oh.
Ok, then.


And in other news, the PES 2021 servers have now shut down, rendering my version of that game completely useless.
On the plus side that frees up 40GB of space on my hard drive for something else.

Dink was one of the first computer games I ever played and probably the first RPG like game I ever came across....

 

I have no memory of this game.

It's supposed to be a classic. Of sorts.
