I watched Jmakin playing on stream. It was just as much fun watching someone struggle and overcome stuff that I also had struggled with and overcome. Very cool.

Never listened to music while dreaming, but my sleep apnea definitely influences my dreams. Iā€™ve also experimented a bit with lucid dreaming and came pretty close to controlling my dream twice, both times I woke up at inopportune times.

Before anyone makes a dirty joke, one time I was back in my dead grandmotherā€™s house and she was hanging out with my mom and I went to hug her and woke up before I got to the room she was in. The other one I was walking the hallway in school and, well, joke away. Iā€™m only human.

Iā€™m still stuck on that boss

I can get to phase 2 without taking damage but dealing damage in phase 2 is tough

I play CK2 on the slowest speed with frequent pausing. I think Iā€™d be a deer in the headlights in a multiplayer game.

CK3 will be on Xbox Gamepass for those who interested.

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 will also be on Gamepass. I havenā€™t played one in decades but the amazing graphics really piqued my interest. I believe the release date is ~August 18th. Does anybody have any experience with flight simulators? Any recommendations for a flight stick in the ~100 Euro range?

Iā€™m pumped for this, but my only flight sim experience was crashing my planes into the Eiffel Tower and stuff in flight sim 98 when I was a kid. Theyā€™re apparently using bing satellite images to map the entire earth, which just sounds so cool. Like, Iā€™d love to fly a little Cessna around Baltimore or something.

Do you still have fire CP points? I think the melee art where you spray a bunch of flames would be effective against him after you break him with the bombs

I also think the neutral melee art of spinning saw does really well against him after he is broken

Crosscode on sale on Steam so I picked it up this better be the best thing ever

good looking out, i was basically waiting for a sale to buy it, lol.

my friend bought me the remastered Dark Souls as a gift because I liked Hollow Knight so much so I may have to check that out soon too.

It took about 4 hours of play for it to suck me in - it definitely seems a little overwhelming at first. At least it did for me.

I am now 11 hours in and about to start the second major dungeon.

Personally not a fan so far of the ā€œfind a way to reach the second floor of this screenā€ dynamic it seems to love doing.

Combat is fun, story seems like itā€™s getting interesting. Story a little dull in the beginning acts.

Theyā€™re both awesome, I guess? And challenging?

Ordered a couple PowerA Xbox One controllers for my PC from Walmart. They arrived in a box with this slapped all over it:

I mean, Iā€™m excited to try them and all, but this might be going a bit overboard.

Iā€™ll be playing on PC for a while tonight if weā€™ve got 3 others who want to start a party. Steam ID is fossilkid93

Its not even on Xbox! Gonna try it on PS4 if it ever downloads

So I been playing Imperator: Rome and itā€™s the first time Iā€™ve ever felt like I had any idea wtf I was doing in a Paradox game. Managed to conquer all of Italy, then slap Carthage out of the various islands around Rome and then march my way through smelly tribes of Celts to slap Carthage out of Spain. And then there was some kind of update and my savegames wonā€™t load. Anyway, it was fun, Iā€™m going to give CK3 a go when it gets released in a few weeks.

I give Imperator: Rome a B-. I enjoyed bribing senators by buying them pet crocodiles and hiring civil servants exclusielvy because of their family connections, but beating up tribe after tribe of spikey Guy Fieri-haired Celts got repetitive and boring. I miss the crazy family drama of CK2.

Itā€™s a crazy thing about ancient history that the Celtic Gauls all had Guy Fieri hair. I know that from watching I, Claudius and playing historical videogames, they all looked exactly like Guy Fieri.
