Games of course!

"Well lookie what we have here, everyone.....we seem to have a real JOKER in our midst" ;D

(And yeah we're all playing games....you playing any in particular atm? :))

Been playing Doom 1 campaign seriously for the first time ever (via GZDoom and the DOOM.WAD file). Actually enjoying Doom 1 campaign the lack of Doom 2's super-shotgun has me using tactics that I almost never engaged in during Doom 2.

Thief 2. I was a bit disappointed at first, because it's basically more of the first installment, with no real variation or innovation. Yet I'm not complaining, because I liked the first one so much...
I am also trying to continue BattleZone in the meantime; and I would like to begin WH40K: Final Liberation shortly.

Portal 2.

It is a family affair, kids are helping me solve the puzzles!

Imo though the plot/areas/etc are a bit better in some ways in the second.....also there is a mod/expansion called T2X and some others(Like one tied to the ending of T2) that go further into the whole Karras/mechanists stuff....fun times, indeed.

Currently doing a 100% playthrough on Final fantasy 8. on the second disc now and so far everything is at level 100 and junction of magic is making wanna kill someone. still love the game though. <3....

Actually I've played just the first three levels so far, but they were excellent indeed. And the humour was great. So, more of the same it might be, but that "same" is oh so good...
(BTW how would you define Garrett's alignment? I'd say "chaotic neutral")

So you did the warehouse one then? I loved that one...so much to explore.

(Also as I said, when you're done with the game i'd recommend T2X OR Karra's Diaries[I might be spelling this one wrong or gotten the name a bit wrong..might be Diaries/Diary of Karras] if you can get the SP mod loader and get it running......they are very good, from what I played[didn't finish them yet due to losing data on them and other games/stuff over the years due to PC failures])

My thoughts exactly......either that or chaotic good. He seems to only care if a big enough threat to the city(and his income/safety) comes along, else he sits and does stuff on the sidelines.

Witcher 3. finished it back in 2015 on Steam. Didn't even know GOG existed at the time. Bought it here again to show my support for CDPR.
Kingdom Come Deliverance with breaks. The game has still so many bugs it is infuriating. That and combat against multiple opponents with that shitty target lock makes me wanna puke.

Very rich in secrets, but I found just a few of them... I'm not that good at it. Anyway I managed to amass all the objects and loot required to complete the mission on expert, as I always play. I don't usually replay levels to find secrets, but for this I could make an exception... some areas I wasn't able to access look promising indeed.
(Also I don't generally tinker with mods, but thank you)

Chaotic no doubt: he's a thief after all! As for neutral/good, that is debatable... I would exclude "evil" because Garrett doesn't seem to hate people, or crave to enslave them, or derive much pleasure from inflicting suffering; indeed he refrains from using violence whenever he can. At the same time, you could say this derives more from a desire to avoid any potential nuisance, and from the particular pride in making a "clean" job, than from any innate "goodness".

Thief 3: Deadly Shadows with the sneaky upgrade mod.

It's a step down from Thief 2: The Metal Age, but I feel the complaints of it being dumbed down are exaggerated. The AI is far more intelligent than in the first two games (e.g reacting to open doors, missing loot, blown out torches). and there are some other nice improvements like better physics and moving shadows. The Hub was a great idea that could have been executed better. The atmosphere, story, and worldbuilding are strong as well. If I had to trash the game for one aspect, it's that its too easy in general. Overall though, it's not nearly as much of a downgrade as Invisible War was to Deus Ex.

I am continuing to play Pillars of Eternity 1. I have started Act 3 and moved to Elmshore. To my surprise, I got the pop up to scale the enemies. And I have tried to click on it. The outcome of that click was a upscaled group of Ogre Druid, 4 Ogres and 1 Ogre Matron, which wiped the floor with me faster than I was able to say Meister Proper / Mr. Clean :P But because I am as stubborn as a mule having a bad day, I decided to not move forward, until I defeat that group. The only way how to get them, was to exploit pathfinding little bit, and then overnuking the druids with my casters. In the end after 45 minutes, the group was finally defeated, and I was able to move forward into the cave, which they were guarding, and approach one of the Bounty targets. To my surprise, the bounty by itself was easy-peasy compared to the fight outside of the cave, and I emerged victorious just after the first pull, without anyone being knocked down. (at least I think so :P )

Just beat hollow knight, so now its celeste for me

Yeah, a replay(or even saving before finishing a level then reading for secrets on a guide) is worthwhile in this game I think....there are many such fun optional things to be had in several of the missions. :)

As for playing on expert: I also often play this way as one gets more objectives to complete/things to find(in some cases).

They are more fan missions/campaigns that add extra missions to play, more than mods, but your call as always. :)

Although he HAS served the "law"(or the powers that be and factions that control things) when needed...so there's that to consider....but yeah, he is very self motivated, but can be called on to do some good if needed sometimes.
