    What are you nerds playing this weekend?

    With my new vidjacard I was trying out a few games to see the new processing power. So it a bit of messing with raytraced minecraft and high quality texture packs. I forgot how much I yearn for the mines.

    WTF MS?

    I wish the 'AR' part of the WMR would have been more cost effective. Dang hololens and similar at $3000-3500. Thankfully I was too poor to pour my time into it.

    No Man's Sky - a procedurally generated sand box space exploration game

    Well that's a wrap on play through four. About 35 hours deep, hit all what I wanted to see, hit my usual personal milestones, and decided I didn't really like that colony game loop. I'm glad to see the game still makes super derpy creatures like this butterfly winged/small head/giant body...

    No Man's Sky - a procedurally generated sand box space exploration game

    I forgot how much I enjoy the little reports from my fleet as they go out doing what ever to god knows who. A small touch of DwarfFortress to make me smile. Well, until one of the idiots comes back with mission critical damage. Also forgot about pet breeding so had that on my list. Totally...

    Best DIY friendly building and hosting site

    Truth. Had to build a wordpress site for a relative last year and it took a month of me juggling various tools and settings to stave off the bots from hammering admin log in tries. So dang dumb.

    No Man's Sky - a procedurally generated sand box space exploration game

    Is floating bases an option now, or still some sort of tether to land? Skimming some of the bases here show a few 'sub orbital' builds. https://www.reddit.com/r/NMS_Bases/new

    No Man's Sky - a procedurally generated sand box space exploration game

    Oh snap. I am unclear how many planets I've hit, but 30 systems deep so far. Finally got a decent looking A-Class capital ship so taking a small detour into those missions. Since ya'all haven't made it out of your systems the next new system I will name a planet "[H] Burticus" and "[H]...

    No Man's Sky - a procedurally generated sand box space exploration game

    Will you jump on 40xx Super Video cards or would you rather wait for 50xx series to come out?

    Just swapped my MSI 1660 to ASUS 4070 O Super and that was worth the wait. If I was hurting for money I would have rolled back to just a 4070 on their new discount, but I'll be darned if this new card doesn't rip!

    Dave the Diver

    Put the game down after I wrapped up the story at about hour 30 mark, and spent another 20 hours mopping up some achievements and the DLC. It definitely was a nice distraction while my area was hit with three weeks of unrelenting subzero temperatures and snow. Over all - a positive...

    Review the game you finished recently.

    I got Dave the Diver from a buddy over christmas. Really not a game I would dig, being it's a mound of minigames mashed into a 2d side scroller, but oh boy was I wrong. The pacing was great, nice little seven chapter story, quality mechanics, and the additional management sim layers were added...

    NVIDIA rumored to be preparing GeForce RTX 4080/4070 SUPER cards

    Guess I'll hold off a little longer opening my velco ninja turtles wallet for the 4070s reviews, but seems that may be my horse. Well, unless an errant 4070ti drops into the low $500 range.

    Red Dead Redemption 2

    I figure if that philosophy applies to me and the bullet being cougars or panthers then I can enforce that with other animals down the food chain. Another hilarious setup is pile up animal carcasses on the road near that western lake. I was trying to attract bird of prey for a challenge. Get...

    What are you nerds playing this weekend?

    Dave the Diver. It shouldn't be a game I enjoy, but damned if I am not having a riot. Still unsure what I am doing is right, but plowing through the sticky mass of minigames.

    Red Dead Redemption 2

    Random as far as I can tell. Way up north west in the snow is where I saw the hawk/eagle snatch up a rabbit. Near the west lake I saw the hawk with a snake and shot them down.

    Review the game you finished recently.

    7 Days to Die - I give it about a 7 out of 10. Much like a PvE minecraft run I enjoyed tinkering with base building, leveling up my skills, exploring POIs, and just tooling around. I dug it as a solo play just grooving-an-a-slay'n. It probably was a waste of resources making the 4x4, but so...

    MS ends WMR support/devlopment
