Gaming

Ah, one of those. Though I guess a woman would look ridiculous if it had been a medieval pair of trousers (legs) with an elaborate cod piece as well...

But I don't get why outfits need to be completely different for men and women... There's a fur outfit in Skyrim that I put on and found myself feeling almost naked, as well. (And those forsworn has that stag helmet that turns into a few feathers or something, for women...)

Armour is supposed to protect you, after all. Bikinis don't do much of that.

Bayek's bath towel in Assassin's Creed Origins is still my favourite silly, skimpy outfit. Especially with the second towel over his head while sneaking.

After giving Sam a week off from his deliveries I returned to Death Stranding and was pleasantly surprised to see some new bridges had appeared while I was away.
Does this mean I can now drive a truck all the way to the Weather Station?

Erm...
 
...maybe not.
Perhaps if I bounce it off and go back around to...
 
...yeah, let's just leave it parked here.

​​​​​Had to go on foot instead and that was made trickier by the fact I was wearing a speed skeleton instead of the power skeleton.
But I made it to the nearest safe house to sort myself out.

I think I'm now ready to start the trip to the mountains.

*looks at first image*
Is that one image or two? *squints* I'm not sure what I'm seeing

*squints*
*takes off glasses*

I think it's a truck hanging onto the edge of a bridge by one single wheel.

*rubs eyes*

I guess it's that almost vertical straight edge that sort of cuts out a quarter of the image that makes it look extra odd. It's like the truck wheel is hanging onto something that's been photoshopped into the image

Maybe you should have used the road to access the bridge instead of trying to climb all those rocks?

Made it back to the Imperial City (there's another Oblivion Gate near the north road. I had to avoid that one as well as the one up the hill. ) and got myself a cheap necklace to enchant.
Carry weight increased by  30.
I then attempted to make some money back by selling the armour from the bandits I killed along the way, but don't you just hate it when the merchant looks smugly at you after ripping you off...

 

I'd already played the little persuasion game, got her disposition up over 70 and then got down to the serious business of haggling but she aggressively refused to pay more than 50% value on anything I had.
Never mind. Gold is still gold. Even if it's only half gold.
I then almost got into trouble by talking to someone I shouldn't have.
Later someone else wanted me to secretly follow him unaware of the fact that I'd just been trying to chat with him in a very non sneaky way.
I think I'll leave that and come back later when they've all forgotten about me.

Just spent quite a while hunting boar in Far Cry in order to craft a bigger ammo pouch.
Got spotted by the baddie pirates and wasted a lot of bullets on them.
Then got attacked by their dogs that I struggled to see coming at me from the shadows. Stabby close range knife time.
My health's pretty low now and my vision is blurry, but I don't want to waste a medical syringe because I can't find any more of those special green leaves around here to make more so let's just continue hunting until I die.
And there's my prey over there as I'm now close to death.
*shoots arrow*
*shoots more arrows*
Got them!
Let's skin them.
And now craft the ammo pouch!
But... but... but... I don't have any boar hides?!

*double checks the dead animals*

Apparently I can't tell the difference between pigs and boars.



Back to Oblivion then.
And I do hope that when I eventually find this Grey Fox chap (whoever he is ) that maybe, just maybe, he might have some lockpicks for me. Or at least know where I can get them.
I wasted over half of my meagre collection trying to get into a chest the other day.

EDIT: Aaaaargh! I've just broke FIVE lockpicks on a Very Easy lock. 
And there were several "Hard" chests inside too but I can't be risking it cos I've only got 11 left now. But I've got what I want and I've also stolen lots and lots of wine. Which may be a good money-making scam if I can ever find someone that buys stolen goods.
Until then I guess I'll have to avoid talking to any guards.
"Stop right there, criminal scum!"

Five gold coins for a single lockpick?!
I was hoping I'd be able to buy them in bulk at a decent discount. Maybe fifty for ten gold. But no. Five gold each!
I'll never be able to afford a house in this game.

There's clearly a "cost of living" crisis in Oblivion. I wonder what their energy bills are like.

Aaaw, cute doggie.

 

Not mine though. And I can't pet it (unless I can find another mod for that. )
But I have managed to get a free room in this place and it has a safe chest of drawers!.
So I immediately dumped all my many, many bottles of stolen wine and those stolen potions and those stolen books and the stolen outfits and the stolen... Well, you get the idea.
At least I don't have to keep avoiding guards now.
Then I walked all the way back to the city through a terrible storm and once I was out of the rain I saved and quit.

I'd better just check that the chest of drawers is indeed OK for my stuff.
*googles*

Yep, it IS safe.
But...
BUT?
The other people staying there may take items that were stolen?

Better get back there to pick everything up again!
