I have continued my Kenshi antics, killing slavers and freeing everyone. I have most of the UC slave farms down now and finally finished my “I got the Phoenix” world tour and handed him to the Shek.

Also bashed through a lot of Jump Space with friends. 4p co-op mission-based PvE space FPS, think Deep Rock on a ship. Love it. Incredible pacing, honest. Could use some player progression, but I’m assuming that’s just the early-access-ness. If this is all that ever comes of it, I’ll still have gotten my money’s worth and would just think of it as a bit repetitive on the content. But fun as hell.

Tried Arc Raiders. Absolutely furious about it. Gamers suck. Thought this could be a learning moment for them since all meaningful loot comes from not-other-players, so the PvPvE should really lead to mostly PvE play and freeform team-ups, but gamers are gamers and deserve the gulag. It’s just another Tarkov; most players are pieces of shit. (Note: I have not gotten good, but the moral judgement stands.)

    playing through mk11 a few weeks ago reminded me of bg3 because of all the cutscenes and some of the armor outfits, pretty weird connection to make between games, I never finished bg3 the other 2 times I played it, always drifted away around the beginning of act 3, I guess the act 2 ending already feels like a sort of full game experience lol, so this time I’ve been playing a Druid (land) wood elf which is a class I’ve always wanted to try, scouting around levels or backtracking solo as a kitty or a panther is fun, I’m also more familiar with the game and spell mechanics than before, also using the new subclasses for all 3 companions (giant barb Karlach, hexblade Wyll, death cleric Shadowheart), also using a mod that gives more in-game outfit/armor options to use for the camp clothing slots, so all together it feels like I’m playing a version 1.5 of the game with all these new things, I’m also delegating more things to the companions and the roleplay feels better than before, also sending out Astarion on some sneaky solo missions sometimes to thin out guards a bit and then flee, it’s not honor mode but i haven’t died yet either and I try to roll with all mistakes and choices, the new subclasses are strong, especially the barb giant thrower is a huge ranged damage dealer, pretty excited for the companion options in act 2, the music continues to impress, talking to animals never gets old, being in animal form is cool
