What Did You Do In Gaming Today

Preordered Planet Zoo!! Cannot wait for the 5th of November now! 

Other than that haven't done much for gaming. Been put on muscle relaxers and pain meds for my shoulder and back so after work all I want to do is pass out while watching TV.

So I discovered that events are a thing in the RLCraft modpack.  I'll be in the basement if you need me.  :D

I did go exploring a bit here and there around my base this week, trying to find a way around the dragon's valley.  Honestly I'd like to go that direction since everywhere else around here is savanna or desert, but I'm not leveled up enough or equipped well enough to tackle him.  I don't even have an enchantment table yet.. to use a diamond pickaxe I need at least level 12 mining, and even just mining obsidian is dangerous.  Obsidian is always near lava, and in RLCraft there's .. things that live in lava.  Things that lob lava at you, or even tentacled things that grab you and drag you into the lava.  There's a lot of interesting ways to die in RLC.  :D

Just found out the 1.8 update for Kerbal Space Program - appropriately named "MOAR BOOSTERS!" - has dropped.  :D  (Kind of inside joke for the player base there, but you get the Idea.)  New version of Unity underneath, so I'm hoping for a significant performance boost on my Ryzen 2700X + Radeon RX480 system as well.  Previous KSP versions were compute-bound on the physics simulation which was almost completely single-threaded.  I rarely saw more than 2 cores in use at a time, and even the "old" gfx card (polaris core) wasn't fully utilized.

Downloading it as I type, but I probably won't get to play with it until this weekend.  Come on Friday!

 

Edit:  Ok, I couldn't resist.  I did play with it when I got home. :D   Not much though.  I really just installed it and "tested" it enough to make sure the new version is working and ready for Saturday.  Coffee, then Kerbals is the Plan.

Sims 4 (PC)

My celebrity family's baby aged up to be a toddler. Might make them have a 3rd child which will "hopefully" 🤞🏻🤞🏻 be a boy this time.

Mass Effect Andromeda (PS4)

Played a bit of story mode then went online and did a couple hours on there as well as sent out my strike teams to do strike missions.

20191020_211146.thumb.jpg.6de4dc2bd86ab5787286646a727de2f8.jpgtoday I played some Stardew  Valley and while stopping to do some random fishing (I rarely come to the beach...pretty sure I dropped in to see if I had any lobsters for a gift for Elliott) I suddenly noticed a head by my crabpots! The near impossible happened and I had a sea monster spawn by the docks! I should've bought a lottery ticket today... >_>  practically had a panic attack trying to remember which button on the controller is for screenshots since I never use it lol...

Haven't done much for gaming. Work has been keeping me drained last week and this week. Might hop back onto Red Dead Redemption II. Also need to finish Pokemon Let's Go.

@Beocat Honestly I don't go to the Beach very often with the exception for when the Night Market happens. I actually forget about the Beach, lol.

Updated to Ubuntu to Eoan so I'm "testing" everything to see what broke.  KSP did not break.  Minecraft has issues.  Had to download and reinstall the launcher even to launch local games and connect to realms.  My RLCraft server won't start at all. 

<moment of silence while sad trumpets play in the distance>

Probably just the newer java, but tbh I might not even bother.  Like most of the high-end games (high in terms of hardware requirements) Minecraft is going to get some refactoring to enable better multithreaded performance over the next year starting with 1.15.  Unfortunately the RLC modpack is based on 1.12, and I had a hard time even getting it all running in the first place.  Maybe if they update the modpack to use MC1.15+ I'll try again.  For now though .. it was fun(?) while it lasted, but I'm not going to waste too much time trying to get all the old mods running.  If I was really that interested I could always go find or set up a public RLC server.  I find that I am not.

I need to get back to KSP anyway.  :D

Got the latest KSP (1.8.1) patch, the Breaking Ground DLC, and all but one of my usual mods installed.  As soon as Kerbal Alarm Clock gets updated for 1.8x I'll be all set to make what will probably be my last career game runthrough before KSP 2.0 gets released.

Just read that KSP2 has been delayed for a couple months.  Not exactly unexpected considering the claims.

It might even give me time to complete my latest KSP1 "career".  I did my first major Mün mission in that and ran into .. unexpected difficulties.   Mostly of my own making of course.  :D  I can report that all kerbals made it back safely however.   Eventually.

Didn't do much gaming since I was at a con all weekend then came down with what they call the "Con" Crud. 

Fable II (Xbox One)

Recently got Game Pass since my friend who went to the convention with me talked me into it. Been playing Fable II off and on after coming back from said Con. 

 

Really looking forward to Pokemon Sword and Shield which comes out today. Just have to wait til after work to pick my copies up (got the double pack). Then I'll probably binge play that for awhile, lol.

@EnviousEnvy Ahh, Fable 2...  I married a pirate in that one and got my only std from him lol....funny the stats that game keeps up with! It was actually a fun game. Odd that you mentioned it as I was reminiscing about it literally the other day.

 

I've not played anything as of late. Been sewing a lot and although I'm batcheloretting it out for a week, I've been working crazy nonstop.  Too tired to play when I get home. I slept all of yesterday and all morning today though so I'm thinking Sims tomorrow...or maybe an Otome game on my PS3. Had it out for a while now and just never had time to play.

@Serge heartless

I honestly liked both but yeah I'm definitely glad they went back to the original. I couldn't decide which to get this year so I got the double pack (I normally get both versions eventually anyway so I got them both right away). Their next one I'm gonna have someone choose which one for me (probably the GameStop guys).

I heard Target's preorders were horrible and almost all of them have to wait until the 28th now for theirs.
