Nah, nevermind. This CK3 character creator is weak.

This is my ex-Navy Seal look.

Throw some Oakleys on instead of the neon Vuarnet wannabes and you look like a soldier. You look like a badass though either way. You undersell yourself imo. I can see you banging porn stars and dating one like you previously said. I only heard you talking about looking like turtle face and then your shoe thread on 2p2 tbh.

True ex-Navy seals know the Oakleys are a little on the nose. We like to mix in one ironic accessory to throw people off.

I don’t make shit up FWIW. I may embellish a tad.

I just found out Vuarnet sunglasses still exist. I had to have those in my first skiing years lmao. They make nice glasses. Damn.

CK3 doesn’t do the red hair properly at all, which is super odd since the viking update released recently. And also I can’t get that red skin tone.Is too bad, I was excited to experience the adventures of the grouchy King Suzzer.

Just did my first 20 minute run. Max dodge fists with Zeus and Poseidon. I had +4 dash with tidal dash that just decimated styx. No duo sadly.

I placed an order for LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga on May 4, 2020. At that point in time, the expected delivery date was December 31, 2020. Obviously that date came and went without any word. It looks like the game might actually be created at some point, with a new trailer coming out last week:

Anyway, I received an email from Amazon last night. The estimated delivery date has been updated to January 2.

Jesus Christ.

Got my first win today, was really sweating whether there was a 3rd/4th stage for hades lol

Gratz!

I would assume the pandemic has caused some delays. But yeah, definitely frustrating. Cool looking game. I have a bunch of Lego games that I originally got for my kids that I really should play.

Unofficial word is Overwatch 2 is going to be released in Q2 of next year. Lots of delays on that one, which I don’t mind except for the fact that its development has basically caused Blizzard to stop updating the current Overwatch (aside from bug fixes and balance updates).

Finished tsushima expansion, big pass for $30, super quick.

Finally finished a full EU run as the Ottomans. Decided to be friendly with Europe and beat the crap out of Egypt and the Middle East, also colonized part of Borneo for funsies. Made pretty good progress getting through the missions but getting to the bottom two tiers would have meant a massive war with Spain. Got bored with it and basically spent the last 150 years on autopilot.

Fun game, but I really miss all the drama of CK3, plus Victoria looks interesting, so I’m probably not gonna play around with EU any more.

IMO EU is boring once you get strong enough to just beat up those around you. I like making a small state into the #1 great power, having to always keep an eye out for when your neighbors are at their weakest. But once you get there, it’s just meh. That does mean though that in about 1k hours I’ve never actually finished a run.

CK3 keeps it fresh because your kingdom tends to fall to bits whenever the king dies and you have to build back better.

Still one of the better intros to a video game

I always thought all of cinematics in the early c&c games were great, I love getting orders from Seth from hand of nod up until kane caps him for trying to invade America

One of the gran turismo games (5?) has maybe one of the most unexpectedly epic incredible intro scenes of all time.

Old recorded real person video cinematics were fantastic. Myst and C&C are both classics for that

Myst re-released on Xbox game pass. Excited to give it a try and see how the remastered stuff comes out.
