Oh just wait! The game keeps expanding! :D

Wow you know what - it has NEVER occurred to me to actually make a shake. And I'm even someone who does cook + make stuff. Huh, I wonder if I should give it a go some time. I think I'll just hope that I keep the craving until next week (it was literally just two or three days ago I walked by the ice cream shop and saw the sign on the window - I remember being surprised they were opening this month, and toward the beginning / middle rather than the end - now if only I could remember if it were today or not LOL).

Yep, it's always an option. Ice cream, milk, anything you want to add. If you don't mind taking a few minutes of effort to beat it all together with a large spoon, you can skip the dragging out a blender part as well.

-laughs- The fight against temptation...

Additional - One more badly controlling platforming section out of the way. Screw you, game.

Hello!
*tired happy waves*
Lots of reading done, was quite interesting.
After Planescape, I'd like to play Snake... the one made for old phones... or maybe Pong.

Stardew Valley sounds quite nice!
Hope you are all doing decently fine there where ever!

Good evening. =)

-laughs- Yeah...Planescape's a little heavy on the text.

Can't complain here. Just finished off Thomas Was Alone, now deciding on the next one. Hope you're having a pleasant day overall.

*sigh I know the feeling. I had to put I-War 2 to bed last night :( Which was a total shame because I was REALLY enjoying it and I love playing with my flightstick. I HATE games that I'm really enjoying otherwise, but that I hit a frustration level with. The ones that suck I just quit, but the ones that have a lot going for them otherwise always make it difficult for me not to go back (hence my previous two nights of frustration).

There is a mission in game with a minute and a half travel time, followed by three minutes of unskippable dialogue BEFORE I can even engage in the mission proper. And then I get blown up. I have to dock at each of six weapon platforms in turn during ~14 second "windows" when they aren't firing, to deactivate them. The trouble - my ship has ~2 or 3 second cutscene for both undocking AND docking during which time I can be blasted to pieces without being able to do anything should the guns come online.

The first night I was able to get 1 or 2 routinely, once in a while 3. By last night, I couldn't even land at 1 with regularity. And keep in mind EVERY time I die, it's almost 5 minutes of the same nothing lead in over and over again. Sucks, as I really liked the game.

I feel like I'm playing an old JRPG, where you have to watch an unskippalbe 10 minute cutscene before fighting a boss that casts Para-All the first round of combat LOL.

I realized I really need a flight sim. I want something like Privateer, but a bit more modern and it just isn't out there. I have a disc copy of X3 and while it was a TON of fun, I found myself wishing it were a bit less "send your 14 trading ships spreadsheet management" and a bit more "shoot shoot bang bang" ;) I didn't MIND the economic sim, and the prospect of building an empire and commanding capital vessels was tempting.

But at the end of the day I felt like I was at the stick for 5 seconds, sending ship to point A, at the stick 5 more seconds *ping* send ship B to point Z, at stick.... send ship to ... you get the idea ;) Got tedious really quickly.

Hmm... sorry to barge in here like this... but have you considered the Sword of the Stars here in gog?
Other than that, Starpoint Gemini 2 comes to mind... haven't played either but those would be two that sound worth one's time...

Wow, just watched the official trailer for TWA... I might have to check that out :) The narration sounded cool, too.
Must've been a nice ride.
Getting quite tired... probably sleep early... but first! Have to finish watching Oblivion! :)

I can see why you quit. Sounds like they weren't thinking, at all, about how annoying the entire process would be to a player that had to do it more than once.
The annoying gameplay's bad enough, but that unskippable crap just makes it all so much worse.

No barging at all I love game talk ;) I actually almost bought SotS a year or so ago on Amazon (they have some DRM free digital downloads and I thought I was in the "mood" for something like this). Eventually I realized I tend to burn out fairly quickly on RTS games and even in 4X games once in a while I'll hit that "wall" sooner than I think I would. I don't get it, as space 4X games seem like something right up my alley. I've noticed I'll either really like them or I'll have quick burn out on them. So I took a pass on this one.

And Starpoint Gemini is one that I think of more as an RPG (at least it feels like that to me) - really I'm just jonesing for something that's going to let me keep using my flight stick, is a bit pretty, and has a world a bit more open than not with a decent focus on action. I-War 2 really was that which is why it sucks so much that I've had to put it down :(

Good evening everyone *big hugs and waves* :)

Good evening. =)

How's your night going?

Hey Crow :)

Well i'm annoyed by the expcted results from the state elections in three German states but otherwise i'm good. What about you?

While most of the results are annoying, I can't help it and have to smile every time they talk again about how the CDU got beaten in Baden-Württemberg and for the first time is no longer the strongest party :D

Politics...always a good way to end up unhappy somehow.

It's been a quiet day here, no complaints. But now I have to run errands. Hooray for shit timing. Back in a bit. =)
