I just tried a village builder with penguins. :dumb:
As a village builder it seems mostly run of the mill, you need food, energy, housing, security etc. But your people are penguins and the villains are seals and orcas. The penguins are rather noisy, a bit too noisy in my opinion. It was a free demo and the game is in development, but I don't think I'll be getting it. The penguins also looked oddly out of place like they were videos displayed in a 3d world, rather than 3d creatures (even when doing things like hammering on walls)... I guess maybe they're a bit too photo realistic compared to the ice and buildings. Also, the demo tutorial failed to progress when you were supposed to have your guard tower throw spears at a seal. It did that twice without it counting and then I quit. So apparently the game didn't even make 20 minutes with me. :dry:

Kind of a shame. A penguin village could have been really fun and cute.

Penguin village? 
*googles*
Yes. Penguin village. :aha: :lol:

Now back to my return delivery. :stare:
And like I said... Snippy handcuffs.
Warning: Spoiler!


And my reward for all this hard work?
Another email from the pizza guy! :shakefist:

Sorry. You're gonna have to wait for that.

There's a free house for logging in to ESO for three days this month. :ohmy:
Shame it doesn't come with storage. :dry:

My Skyrim bosmer decided which house to call her own for my play through and then she couldn't find it. :dumb: I was starting to think I had accidentally removed it when updating my mods but then, at long last (or at least somewhat closer to Rorikstead than I recalled) we found it. She has now moved in, and transferred all her possessions. Except some dragon bones as a dragon attacked while she went to fetch the last round of things and she couldn't carry them too. :shakefist:

The shack is made for an alchemist with millions of little drawers everywhere and I haven't quite decided how to organise everything. I think I might also need to add a smelter and anvil outside. We'll see. Maybe she can make do with those found elsewhere. It's just a bit odd that she can sharpen her weapons at the shack but not improve her armour. Then again, maybe she's supposed to run around in mage's robes. :shrug:

Yay! I have finally beaten the Dweller-In-Darkness in Guardians Of The Galaxy.
Five health bars, he had.
Five.
FIVE!!! :rage:

That kind of thing shouldn't be allowed.

Now I have to deal with the llama again. :eyeroll:
It seemed like a good decision at the time. :dry:

I have now finished Stray.
Press B to... 

It was longer than I thought it would be and has taken me nearly 11 hours of deliberately slow exploration (I'm sure you could rush through in half that time) but the ending did arrive sooner than expected.

Warning: Spoiler!


I'm still seven memories short though so I shall return to those earlier chapters. :pirate:

*meowmeow*
Memory, all alone in the moonlight
I can dream of the old days
Life was beautiful then
I remember the time I knew what happiness was
Let the memory live again
*meowmeow meeeoooow*
