Gaming

I still haven't even played Witcher III (which I think I own ) and for that matter I have forgotten to read the books I bought as well...

As for the far right, the "Swedish Democrats" were recently exposed as having secret social media accounts spreading desinformation and jokes about the other parties including the ones they've promised to play nice with, so all the other parties are now very upset. But SD? Well, they just claim it's "good fun" and a desinformation campaign of the left lying about them (while admitting that the accounts exist). It certainly explains why they don't trust media though - they do their damndest to manipulate it themselves, so they probably assume everyone else does the same....

I have got it working now so next time I'm there I'll try to take a photo of him

Tiny.
But don't antagonise him!
 


I never log in to YouTube and I reject all its cookies so I don't get any kind of recommended feed at all.
I just search for the one thing I want to watch and then leave.

When a video ends, doesn't it show you a selection of other video suggestions?
It always does for me. Then again I think google automatically logs me in pretty much everywhere so I never know if I am logged in or not.

Maybe they do.
Once I've seen what I want then I usually leave before they appear.

But when I go to YouTube's front page it looks like this...

 



EDIT: OK, I've just gone back and watched the video I posted yesterday and at the end it suggested....
Just more Dragon Age videos.

Lucky you...

Dang it!
I should learn to save directly after defeating a bossy dude. I just killed Ancano, then dismissed my follower (one of the other students) and forgot that when using a follower framework, you need to grab all their inventory before dismissing or they lose it (I think the regular follower system allws them to keep it until you make them followers again?). And of course I hadn't saved between the two actions so now I have to defeat Ancano AGAIN. And he does a lot of talking before you actually get to defeat him.

Loot those followers!

Today I discovered that, just like most games, Dragon Age has spiders.
And they're quite hard to kill.
I- or rather, we- were all trying to get through a narrow gorge so that we could reach another camp before pushing on to find the horse master chap but all these big spiders kept popping up out of nowhere.
Too many potions were used and I didn't have enough to keep going so we all retreated to another camp further back to restock.

But I- and I do mean "I" this time and not "we"- found a couple of daggers!
Which means my rogue elf character can now put away the bow for a minute to try out some sneaky stabbing.
Look! There are some templars over there. Or are they apostates? No matter. They're baddies either way so let's go and stab them to death!

Oh.
That went well. Come on, rest-of-party. Revive me. Help.
Oh. They're all dead as well now.

First time that's happened. Guess I'll be back to the bow after I reload.

Spiders

I'll post this in the correct thread now.

So as I was saying, I (we) killed a few bandits and made a new camp in Dragon Age, which was much needed cos we were running low on potions after greedy Cassandra gulped some down during a previous fight with some apostates. She does drink a little too much but I will let her off considering that she's the only one of the party that actually bothers to venture into close combat instead of relying on cowardly ranged attacks.
And now that we've restocked I think we should go on to-

Solas (again): "Maybe we should travel to Val Royeaux now?"

Yeah, yeah. Not just yet, I still have a load of side quests to do here and we still haven't been to see the horsemaster. And look over here! There's a load of iron down here that I can collect which will be good for that crafting requisition. And there's even more on this path. Come on, we can collect it all.

Varric: "Up she goes."

Er- What? Up who goes? Do you mean me going up this path?

Cassandra: "She's taking flight!"

Flight?! Who's doing what now?
Oh...

 

And after one single burny breath... everyone's dead except me!
And I didn't last much longer after this...

 

Forget those Skyrim dragon fights. I reloaded and tried again a few more times and it's just not happening here.
Death comes very quick indeed and in just a few seconds we're all very dead and very crispy. 

Let's not come this way again.

I just noticed that GOG has Talisman: Digital Edition for free
