Gaming

They need volunteers.
They need you.

What do they need me for? 

Guinnea Pigs

So they are like Google and can't tell the difference between hamsters and guinea pigs?

Yes. Or they think you'll do.

Little Kitty Big City... has just crashed three times in a row.
Not sure if it's a GFN thing or if the game is just buggy. I mean, it IS buggy despite the crashes but it could also be a GamePass thing or a Geforce thing.
Gonna try and install it and play from my own PC. It's only just over 1GB so hopefully this won't take long.

*waits*

EDIT: Not quite there yet. So... meanwhile in Starfield I tried to quietly sneak up on these fellows to scan them for a survey.
 
Let's see if I can get close enough without them seeing me.

That's a No, then.
 

Hello, everyone. 


EDIT 2:
"Meow."
I mean, "Quack!"

 

In No Man's Sky today:

I found a drop pod with a free exosuit slot!
Except nothing is free and you need to repair stuff first and for that you need an anti-matter housing.
Well, I remember manufacturing those, let's see....
Nope, no blueprint for that. *Googles* Seems you can't get those blueprints anymore and HAVE to buy them at a trade or space station?
*Places marker and goes to the Space Station* They have no antimatter housings.
*Buys microprocessors needed to install hyperdrive*
*Reads some more* same thread as before but after something I didn't understand at all, they do say that you get the blueprint eventually by following the main questline
*Switches back to main questline which wants me to install the hyperdrive and for that I should get chromatic metal*
*Installs microprocessors bought earlier and heads off to find copper*
*Quest objective immediately changes to "buy 5 microprocessors so you can install them in the hyperdrive which already has microprocessors installed thank you very much**
*Returns to base and scans the horizon for marker, for that drop pod.*
Gone.


I think that's enough No Man's Sky for one day.

Edit: Just as I was to quit, I saw the marker again. But I'm not sure that kind of marker (which I dropped by accident so I don't even know how I did it) stays when you log out so I made a note of the general direction...   (East )

Quite a lot of the Gamepass games crashed today when I tried them so maybe it is an issue with them and GFN rather than the actual games. Probably an update that's gone a bit wrong somewhere.
So I just watched some cat videos on the internet instead.

 

EDIT: They seem to have sorted out the issues now so I went off into some deep mines on Mars in search of Percival. Deep mines. Deep. Went on for so long I thought I was gonna pop out on the other side of the planet.
And I'm glad the endless baddies were Spacers instead of Crimson Fleet as I don't think there'd be enough credits in the universe to pay off that potential bounty.
Finally I find the guy and at that point I'm hoping there's gonna be a shortcut out of here cos I don't want to walk all the way back. And he says... "Let's use the lift to the surface."
Thank you!
And even though that was a long one I have enjoyed this sequence of quests so far. I was just expecting a simple little job with a shootout but it's had some surprising twists and turns and taken me to some cool places.

But.... if there was a lift...

...he could have just come to the surface all by himself.

A least it wasn't a very long ladder.
