Finally have some PC time all to myself today, so I'm going to attempt to play some #WoW. I'm guessing by now most people have gotten past the opening area so player density won't be a problem dragging my frames into the red...? Curious to see how Lutris/DXVK handle the new expansion. Last time I logged on I was averaging 30fps at 7 settings, with notable dips in crowded areas. Addons updating, and I'ma check if there's any new runners in Lutris before jumping in. #CoSoGaming
Having played 4 rounds of PGA Tour 2K23 (what, you don't play 4 round tournaments?), I can definitely state: this has that EA FIFA "changed the rosters and mildly tweaked things, NEW GAME!" feel. If you played the previous game, this isn't much different. Season pass junk, caddies (including females!) a third person in the "broadcast booth" (another female!), new music, some mild skill trees for your clubs are new. Core game the same, even the 2 guys broadcast audio lines lol. #CoSoGaming
I guess I pushed my left shoulder too hard raking wet leaves yesterday. Giving me issues during certain motions. I can feel a tendon "clunking" in there when I move, and reaching behind me to scratch my lower back is a bad idea, I have discovered. Partner ordered a shoulder support device cause it's becoming obvious I've done enough damage over the years it needs some external help/also some self PT to strengthen muscle groups for better internal support. Aye, gettin old.
Aight I'm starting to get into #Warframe more now that I'm able to solo grind stuff. It def isn't Destiny, not that I expected it to be. I'm liking the story lines in the main quests. The mission variety is cool too. Incubated a furry combat companion. Crafted an arcwing.
Having said that, I'm gonna be bouncing off it for a bit tomorrow lol. Bought PGA Tour 2K23 on sale tonight. Liked the series since the OG Golf Club. Been a sucker for golf games since Golf on the #NES. FORE! #CoSoGaming
Ah, rain. Def needed here. Not needed: the massive leaf fall it produces from the fruitless mulberries all over the trailer park. Went and raked up all I could, from the alcoholic dude that hates everybody 2 spots to the "left" of us, down to the mostly deaf dialysis guy 2 spots to the "right", who prob doesn't know my name. I don't have to like em to be neighborly, shrug. They older than me and ain't in great health. ..it isn't as easy as it was 20 years ago tho, lol. "today on This Old Back.."
In the process of shutting off the water/getting tools to work on shower/turning on the water to test it one of the other furry bastards got out. Had to go track her down under a neighbor's trailer a couple spots over. Thankfully she came to me with the promise of treats out of the box I was shaking. Now it's time to go blow leaves out and then workout time.
Eventful day so far. Partner had early shift. I got up, fed the cats, only to have one immediately wharf a hairball/her breakfast almost on the bed but I tossed her off in time. Cleaned that up. Then on her break partner says "did you see the puddle in the bathroom?" .. no... "I think the new shower taps are leaking?" Joy. Connections weren't leaking so I guessed it was coming from the inside. Pulled it off the wall and water came out. Guessed right. Sealed it up with E6000, crossed fingers lol.
Welp, I'm dumb. Launched #Warframe tonight to collect something I had started crafting yesterday. Went into the settings just to mess around and noticed at the top of the Options menu there was a little HUD for my profile.. and then realized there's a little group indicator.. that was set to "Public".. that I can change to "Solo", so I can play missions by myself. 🤦♂️ #CoSoGaming
Been checking out #Warframe a little bit. Didn't expect Destiny, but yeah, iunno if it's for me. Seems a bit too focused on the team instance stuff, which I hate doing random and I don't have friends lol. So now I'm checking out THPS 1+2 cause it's in the PSN+ Extra tier so I didn't have to give Ubisoft money. It's a brilliant remaster of the originals. It's been 20 years since I seriously played any Tony Hawk, but the muscle memory is still there. 900 on the first try. #CoSoGaming
I'm glad my boomer parents haven't gone to the Idiocracy side. Makes for a sane #Thanksgiving. Hope y'all that celebrate managed to have a sane one as well. Or a decent Thursday if you don't.
Credits rolling on Pentiment. That last Act takes some real turns. I'm very impressed. This game absolutely deserves the accolades it has received. As usual with games like this, while I know I can go back and make different choices... I probably won't. I played it the way I wished and I'm fine with how it turned out.
Now I gotta figure out what's next. After #WoW, that is. Hehe.
#CoSoGaming
Finished Act 2 of Pentiment tonight. That was unexpected. Certainly interested to see how Act 3 turns out. #CoSoGaming
Lol, of course all #WoW servers would go down just as I finish up my add-on/UI adjustments and start playing. You'd think after 20 years Blizz could figure this out 😆 #CoSoGaming
Today's Mission: face my #WoW addon addiction and see what I can *wince* live without? I def have a heavy UI and need to pare some stuff, as I get pushed into swap by 50% in a few play sessions. I do so like my UI so I hope I don't have to cut any "true UI" addons but rather extras (like say AllTheThings, tracks literally everything you can do in a zone but is a memory SINK). May get serious about SpartanUI, used it before but it's not quite what I want. Sacrifices must be made tho. #CoSoGaming
So I dig the new Evoker class so far, still getting used to it. Feels odd to play a caster with such short range tho. Also, I either have to go in and fiddle with the graphics settings, mess around with system settings, or just try to play at times most other players aren't around lol. Couple times my frames dropped into single digits with all the particles and players around heh. And leave it to Blizz to launch new content full of bugs. Again.
