The Outer Worlds 2 is finished! 48 hours. Somehow only 50% achievements.
I really, really loved it. I feel like I got a very good ending. No idea if it was the best. But... Speech at 20 sure put in some work. IYKYK.
Already looking forward to a second go in the future.

Friends and I have been slowly chipping away at the campaign for Dying Light: The Beast since its September release. Every session a joke made about how "watch, we'll finish the game and they'll finally get the raytracing update out." "Thanksgiving miracle" and so on.
Well. It literally happened.

Go fuck yourself, Activision. I'm just trying to play your crap single player campaign.
I literally have both TPM2.0 and Secure Boot enabled. I also need them for Battlefield 6 and have zero issues there... and I'm on Windows 11.
I'm not updating my perfectly working BIOS for this shit.

And from the peak of Dispatch to this...
I'm sure it'll be fine, right? Surely everyone saying how bad the campaign is and how it isn't meant at all for single player and how you can get kicked for being AFK and no checkpoints are all just liars...
Right?

God, what a GREAT game! The cast, the casting, the story, art/visuals, music, etc. Everything. Just amazing. I loved it!
And shoutout to this vital part of SDN, the aptly named Mr. Whiskey.

I really, really, REALLY hope this is because I'm playing the Premium Edition of The Outer Worlds 2.
This is the very first "flaw" that popped up right after the tutorial mission ends...
If every Premium Edition owner gets this, that'd be INCREDIBLY funny.

We are so back! First game was one of my favs in 2022.
These games are just... comforting. If that makes sense. They're chill.

Can I just say thank you to the PowerWash Sim team for this.
I cannot stand games that blast my ears at full volume with no way to turn it down until after several intro videos and whatever else. This is super appreciated and I want more games to use a more reasonable default like this.

I don't know what Tim did this time, but now I can no longer upload attachments to TGN.
I checked. The attachment folder is still there. Still writeable.
The admin section is inaccessible saying "File not found."
I want to punch something. I've bluntly told Tim to undo whatever he did recently.

This (the Hotel) was a damn good gameplay segment. Damn good.

Lol.
The Nobel Peace Prize is a joke. As if previous recipients like Henry Kissinger, Woodrow Wilson, and even Obama weren't already enough to clue you in.

K. Day off it is I guess, whether I wanted to or not.
And I haven't gotten a status update since last night, so I guess the question for me now is: Dying Light or Borderlands today?

It's time.
When even a "major update" for the game draws zero interest from my core Destiny 2 group the week of release, you know shit is bad.
Based on what I've read, nothing of value is being missed either.
