Well, that's Resident evil: code veronica x finished and that should be the last game for halloween (excluding the halloween doom 2 wad). Tomorrow we'll start my yearly tradition of Yakuza with Y5!

i'm sitting on the fence concerning POE league. Just like last time i have a stronger feeling that this is going to be a tough league for me as the end game content has just gotten tougher and i suspect some of the end game challenges will be in the challenges (like defeat all the bosses to unlock the blood ascension). but this league is a serious rework of the popular breach mechanic so we might expect some awesome things to happen. But as expected, people are lamenting the nerfs. Case in point my Volcanic fissure of snaking build is taking a hit. I might try a juggernaut slam build, but i suspect this league emphasizes killing a lot of things quickly so a magic user is probably preferred. Assassin perhaps now that its been reworked for a crit build?

Still thinking about building a pc, but i've spent so much money this year (buying a top end coat and treking shoes etc) its not easy to justify. perhaps black friday i might get decent deals? The shocking thing is how big PC cases are now.

I see that the game is estimated to cost less than $10 million to make and it has sold more than 10 million copies. So they should be able to keep developing for quite a few more years if they want.

Oh! I thought it would have cost a lot more than that! Or is that just the original cost?

Are you just doing intelligence and hacking? No weapons?

P.S.

HOW!? Hello Games keeps making every other game company look greedy as NMS keeps getting free content year after year. Somehow.

Ok, fine! I'll finally buy NMS! Geeze.

I've reached tier 4 of the quickhacks in Cyberpunk 2077, I just need to get a bit more money to get the truly powerful ones. I now primarily use quickhacks, especially the contagion one, to deal with groups of enemies.

One of the side missions had a reference to GLaDOS which was pretty fun.

Oh! I thought it would have cost a lot more than that! Or is that just the original cost?

I think that was just the original cost, but that was over 3 years of production. So the $300 million+ they've made since then should be enough to keep them working on the game for the rest of their lives.

I just noticed that my friend we're sharing our Steam game library with owns No Man's Sky, so I could give it another try.

I finished Costume Quest this evening after dinner. Ended up putting in 5 hours to the original game and I'll probably just skip the DLC, as it's more of the same.

Why this game has been on my must play list for over a decade, I don't know. It's alright. It's cute, got a good sense of humor and is overall fine in the gameplay department and I'm happy I played it this close to Halloween, it kind of got me in the mood for the season.

But I definitely can't say that I'm ready for more with the DLC or the second game.

So I bought No Man's Sky this morning and installed it on my laptop and Deck. I have had zero time to actually even fire it up yet. Hopefully tonight if I'm not too tired, but I may just end up playing Battletech instead...
