This week I’ve not done very much. I’ve played Roblox and helped my siblings with their various Minecraft projects. I also intend to play the Half-Life 2: Episode 2 VR mod now that I’ve got a slightly better GPU.
What are you guys playing?
Before returning to the Revanites, Kaliyo and I detour back to Kaas City to decide what to do with the Mask of Revan. Ladra wants the mask as a symbol, and possibly believes it contains ancient power. Torrun seems to just want the mask to keep it from people like Ladra and Grathan. I think the situation stinks. Stealing the mask from Grathan is a unique situation…what do the Revanites NORMALLY do? Does that mean Grathan is actually in on this charade?

I had a different post drafted for this week about the Sims 4 live mode and how broken it is. But instead another migraine. I’d power through but looking at screens is making me throw up. Next week less pain, more complaining.
The game was a dud, and I'm convinced a big part of that is due to the way the game leaned into its story. Its terrible, cringe-inducing story.
I wanted to take the file format of a late 90s shooter and read it in modern-day Unity. This is the result.
It's not a legend. It was real. There was a time before DLC. Before DRM. Before crappy ports. It was glorious.
This is a horrible narrative that undermines the hobby through crass stereotypes. The hobby is vast, gamers come from all walks of life, and you shouldn't judge ANY group by its worst members.
There's a wonderful way to balance difficulty in RPGs, and designers try to prevent it. For some reason.
I called 2018 "The Year of Good News". Here is a list of the games I thought were interesting or worth talking about that year.
My first REAL published book, about a guy who comes back from the dead due to a misunderstanding.
Why killing you might be the least scary thing a game can do.
Here is a long look at a game that tries to live up to a big legacy and fails hilariously.
Computers keep getting more powerful. So why do the population caps for massively multiplayer games stay about the same?
