I did “A Servant No Longer” in CK2, taking a young eunuch duke under the Abbasids and ruling an empire of a certain size before he died. I just took over the Abbasids because that was easiest. After I became caliph I became a satanist and grew my dick and balls back but died in battle before I could sire an heir. Still a good time

Now I’m trying to do a bunch of achievements in one run:

• “Never Start a Land War in Asia”: Starting in Western Europe, control the eastern steppe
• “Norse-East”: As a Norse character, become king of Mongolia
• “Legacy of the Indo-Norse”: As a Norse character, have a kingdom in India as your primary title and a capital in India with Norse culture
• “Viking Ummah”: Have a capital with Norse culture and Sunni religion

My start of choice is the classic Haesteinn in 867. On my current run I’ve got my kingdom in India set up but having second thoughts about the routing because it’s more toward the south of India, so it’ll take longer to get to Mongolia. I also only lumped Viking Ummah into this because islam would get me out of gavelkind succession and I don’t want to spend tech on increasing legalism until I get my capital settled

Might restart with a slightly more optimized route and defensive pacts off so I can carve a path north easier. Only gotta hope the Western protectorate doesn’t blob like it did in my Aladdin game

I have been obsessed with vintage story recently. I have been trying to search for mature fruit trees to take saplings back to my base AND trying to insulate my wooden home from lighting strikes by covering it with cob.

I won the crab game.

Blue Prince is pretty good ngl

I’ve been meaning to play some old Japanese games to test my language learning, so I booted up a PC Engine dungeon crawler called Brandish and ended up fistfighting dinosaurs that look suspiciously like a sitting US president

It’s been pretty fun so far and I enjoyed some of the ridiculous mechanics that screw you over, like how there is an “HP poison” item that looks completely identical to “HP potion” in your inventory and if you try to stack it onto your normal potions it ruins them lol

Started Playing Baldur’s Gate 3 and I’m enjoying it

My kids talked me in to playing minecrap. I’m 46 and I’ve never played it once before this weekend. Im mining, then I’m crafting.

Also playing the usual, GTA:SA multiplayer. I’ve been playing it since it released in 2006 or 2007 i think. And i suck at it still.

Im not a g#mer, let alone a G*mer. Ever see people who cannot pass training levels/skill building levels? Where every single jump is a trial by fire for the person holding the controller?

That’s me. I grew up w a single button and an 8way joystick. Then i got a Nintendo, which has two buttons. Thats 100% more buttons. I never got past this level of skill. I bought both Zelda TOTK and BOTW because of how cool they looked and how much fun i might have. And Im so bad at those games. I can’t remember moves to save my life. Im all thumbs, or all left feet or something. So i just fuck around in SAMP.

thanks for coming to Boomer Talk.

Finished main storyline missions on No Man’s Sky. I was heading back from second galaxy to my main base, flew to a space station and while I was doing stuff, a squiddy boy landed, I did a quick search on the rarity and bought it off the pilot. Turns out, it’s the most rare regular exotic in game and some people have been playing for thousands of hours and haven’t seen one. I clocked 40 hours at the point that I saw it. Lucky as fuck. It’s ugly and I probably will only use it to show off on the Anomaly but it’s really cool that I snagged one.

Terra Invicta

By the same people who did the Long War XCOM overhaul mod. Anybody into 4x sci-fi solar system simulation/management should check it out. Still in EA but has come a long way from release.

Blue prince continues to consume me, I am working on what I think is the final big puzzles which require quite a bit of learning the lore of the world to solve which I’m really enjoying.

i just got off work and made dinner but then I played a game of Super Mega Baseball 3 and listened to “Type 56: The Story of China’s Army” youtube channel

I’m almost through Chrono Trigger for the first time in 25ish years.

Oblivion is as good as it was when I was in high school.

Give more Mario party like games. I think most of my game related posts are rts related. But all I desire is a smash ultimate/mario kart 8 deluxe Mario party game. Give me 20 boards with 200+ minigames

Mostly Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate lately. I got Pretendo set up so I can do online lobbies at some point but I’m not sure when that will actually happen. I also started Metroid Prime a week ago but haven’t played it since… I keep thinking about it but then losing motivation.
