    I've been having some wonderful conversations with my walls. They're actually very interesting, and are remarkably knowledgeable. It's a little confusing that they all share the same name, though. It's hard to tell which one we're all talking to!

    Played every single p. rpg, or rts/rpg I can think of. Even played gta5 and I dont like the type.

    Done with all mmorpgs.
    Eso
    Bdo
    Ffxiv
    Not gonna log back in again.
    None offers me what L2 or Tera used to.

    I have nothing to play right now.

    Thinking of spending nearly 4k AUD to get a new monitor and rig parts to enjoy AC valhala to the fullest, since it looks like it will be the last game for a while.
    It might be a mistake though since I dont see any other games in the horizon.
    No clue when DragonAge 4 will come along, or anything like a DS since Sekiro.

    Cant wait for all the A1 phases with AoC.

    Other than the dry gaming landscape everything else is great.

    Been playing RoR to pass the time and having a blast! (RoR is WAR that has been brought back by a small dedicated team with permission from GW and EA). Completely 100% free.

    All you have to do is choose "Join Us" at the top of the page, register an account, DL the client and start playing! :)

    Some carpentry projects: a new end table for my family room, and three chests. Practicing some older joinery methods.

    Awesome ! Well I mean hey, if you've had the pc for multiple years and it's starting to preform poorly on new games maybe it's time for an upgrade. I mean ashes will definitely benefit from the upgrade as well so that's a plus !

    haha I feel you on that I've never played an mmorpg really because none of them have clicked with me like this one... which.. isn't even out yet. I just play LoL and that's it, I also haven't seen any of that assassins creed gameplay but I'm sure it looks amazing

    I've been learning to program microcontrollers and FPGAs.

    The amount of datasheets to read... far out, I'm dying.

    FPGA is short for Field Programmable Gate Array.
    It's very close to the barebones of computerchip circuitry - basically a bunch of rearrangable logic gates that you can arrange however you want. Think of it like the red-stone circuits in minecraft.

    Come to think of it, all those red-stone minecrafters should really get into the industry...

    Been playing some silly/fun FPS games in between work and other responsibilities. Waiting anxiously for Intrepid to release new AoC news. ^_^ and APLHA 2! (omg) :|

    - "Grounded" : fun little ("Honey I Shrunk the Kids"-type) survival game. Visually pretty with CG-cartoon movie inspire colors & lighting

    - "Deep Rock Galactic" : Brew-guzzling, happy Space Dwarves blasting-off to the plant Hoxxes to mine ore, drill tunnels through fully destructible voxel-based terrain. And...oh... blood thirsty nest of space bugs need to be squished along the way. Fun/quick simple mission-based game.

    - "Sea of Thieves" : Yarg! Sail your own ship on the high-seas. Battle or evade Krakens, storms, megadalon sharks, ghost ships and other pirates all for the Booty! ;) I enjoy the similar color/lighting style as is done in Grounded. Visually beautiful! The way the ocean colors/water/movement look (both above & under) the sea is astonishing! The Indiana Jones/Goonies vibes are real- hidden throughout the various islands.

    But yeah, goofing around in easy-in, easy-out games, working, anime, painting MTG Alters & canvas art. Selling stuff on eBay. :p

    But now.... I'm totally in the mood for a cheese burger! Time to get my NOM on!

    @Nagash
    The developers recently added 2 new mission types that are amazing! In one, you are basically an oil worker "Rough neck." You have to lay down pipes to connect to liquid morkite vents, so the extractor can pump it out. But the pipes you lay down are rideable. Like grinding on a skateboard. I've seen some elaborate pipe system that go through Driller tunnels, up and down canyons, side-winding all over the place. It feels like a theme park with roller coasters! ^_^ Plus there's bugs to play with at the same time. ;D

    The other additional mission; you have to escort/protect this giant Driller-Tank as it tunnels to a special core-type mineral. It'll need repairs along the way & new fuel than can be harvested from deposits. Plus you can 'pet' the tank.

    Good tank...that's a good tank.... haha!
