Resident Evil 2 (PS4):

Just recently started the remake of this game. So far I've only jumped once and had a couple mini panic attacks *cries*

Just wait until VR becomes a thing.  Seat belts mandatory!  :D

It will be a fair bit of time before VR gaming really becomes a standard. This is mostly due to price.

As far as what I did in gaming for today so far. I played a bit on the DS Mario Kart, and Alpha Sapphire. I know I am a bit late, but its pretty fun to play. I did see both of course when they came out, but still despite it being several years old as of yet it is awesome.

Kingdom Hearts 3 (PS4)

Not very far in the game. Finally got to the mansion on the second world, lol.

Resident Evil 2 (PS4)

Just ran into my first Tyrant in the game and let me tell you,  he makes finding things and completing puzzles a pain in the rear. Grr...

Resident Evil 2 (PS4)

Finally got my hands on the parking permit thus made it outside of the police department (thank God because Mr. X was seriously getting on my nerves). Also doing so I ran into Ada again. Why is she always so crabby? Wonder if she is PMSing in this game. 😂

I did not play KSP today.  :(   Last time I played I'd managed to gather a bit of science and upgrade my tech.  I've been trying to get some play time in to hire some more kerbonauts and  build a space station and a science/exploration ship, but shit keeps happening IRL.   Maybe tomorrow? 🤞

Playing KSP again (finally!) and found a contract to take 6 passengers all over the place.  One of them even wants a solar flyby!  But of course to get paid I'd need to return her safely to Kerbin afterwords.  How do I even do that?  For over $800,000 kerbucks I'll give it a try though.  I currently only have $2.2M kerbucks, so a contract like this would be a significant chunk of change for me.

I'm thinking I could start by taking Magbald and Jendock to Minmus.  Minmus is the outer moon of Kerbin so a brief detour into solar orbit from a Minmus encounter shouldn't cost much in terms of delta-V.  It should also be possible to get the Münar flyby done (and save dV) by using the Mün for a gravity assist, assuming I get the timing right.  If I can make Magbald and Jedock happy then they'll give me over $400k right there.  That should be plenty to build the necessary rocket.  It'd be even better if I could take everyone to Minmus at once, but that'd be a BIG rocket, and way too expensive.  However, I can probably build a rocket to get just two tourists and a pilot to Minmus and back for less than $100k.

I wish I had a station built.  Having even a low-orbit station is useful for logistics in situations like this.  It is a lot more efficient to build a small rocket with limited capability than to build a single vehicle that can handle the whole mission profile.  I'd build a "passenger bus" that can barely reach a low-orbit station and return, then have another for getting everyone efficiently to and from other places.  Put the high-thrust (but low efficiency) rockets and things like the parachutes and (heavy) heat shields on the "bus".  On the other vehicle - the actual space-craft - leave off all that heavy equipment that's useless for other places and just wastes dV.  Trim it back to just low-thrust, high efficiency engines, the passenger berths, and the fuel.  (Plus "incidentals" like solar panels and communications equipment.  And the pilot of course. :) )

Hmmm.. I've been wanting to build a station anyway.  Maybe I can use the profit plus a bit of my cash on hand to put up a small station, then expand it later.  I think if I build a "passenger bus" big enough to hold a dozen kerbals and a bit of extra fuel, then leave half of it in orbit as a rendezvous and refueling point that might be the thing to do.  Then I'd build and launch the vehicle that goes to the moon(s) separately, dock it with the "station" to refuel and take on the passengers that want to go to Minmus.  Do the Minmus mission, come back to the station.  Drop off the Minmus crowd and take on the Mün passengers.  Refuel.  Do the Mün mission, come back.  Finally, transfer everyone to the "passenger bus" (the one with the heat shields and parachutes) and bring everyone back home.  Payday!  Leave the space-craft attached to the station in orbit to make future missions like this even more profitable.  Mission planning baby!

Half way finished with the Toybox world. Been livestreaming every time I play it thus, I have been going slow with it, lol.

Getting in some more KSP time today.  Between work and end-of-season anime bingeing I have been neglecting my Kerbals.

Driving along in my rover, minding my own business..  All of a sudden my rover's batteries started draining.  Checked my solar panels.   "blocked by the Mun"?  Hmmm, now that you mention it the sun does look kind of funny.   It's a Münar eclipse!

Played a little Minecraft with my wifu. setting up a base. 

That's another thing I "need" to get back to.  My brother got a new gf and between that and some overtime he's been too busy to play on our server.  Not "busy" either.   (Well maybe a bit. :D)   She's got kids who are a good age for MC and he keeps telling me he wants to get us all together & introduce them to our game.  Just haven't had time.

Got a contract to put up a space station in KSP!  This one cost about double what the contract paid once you take into account the launch, but it is overbuilt so that I can use it for other things, including future contracts and science research.  The contract only called for 5 kerbals, an antenna, a docking port, and some solar panels.  This one has berths for 12, including 2 on a science research module.  It also has vacuum-optimized engines so it is somewhat mobile, 6 attachment points (the circles around the middle just "below" the solar panels) for future expansion, and one of the service bays is only half-filled, so I can add more scientific instruments for the research module once I unlock some more of the tech tree.  There's also *6* high-gain antennas for long-distance communications.  If I wanted to I can take this thing all the way to Duna (Mars) once I get some more fuel capacity and some refining gear attached.  Probably also some sort of auxiliary craft would be good so that I have something that can transport things like Kerbals and ore to & from the surface.  This thing has pretty efficient engines, but the TWR is so low it will never be able to land on its own. 

Hopefully I can find some more contracts to help pay for all that!

I was playing the Sims 4

Lately every time I look in discord it says my brother is playing The Sims. 

That or the kids took over "his" computer again.  :D

I summoned Selkie in Fire Emblem Heroes, that's pretty much it. I've been waiting for her to get added for one and a half years so I am pretty pleased.

Maybe one of these days I can finally get back to playing Red Dead Redemption 2, I still am only on like the 3rd chapter.
