That's awesome. I'm so glad I went back and completed 3. It gave me greater respect for the game as art. I keep comparing Ghost of Tsushima to it while I'm playing it. CD Projekt Red is definitely a master at crafting epic games. If I get my new rig built I'll pre-order Cyberpunk.

Everyone says they romance Triss in Witcher games, but I never did. In the first one, I went with that hospital girl instead, forgot her name. Don't remember who I romanced in the 2nd game, in the third went with Yennifer. She just looked way hotter. Of course then I realized she is batshit crazy, but I guess that's a common theme.

I went with Triss on my second round. I'm attracted to strong women but bitchy is a dealbreaker for me. She (Yen) seriously needs to get over herself and it actually felt good to reject her.

Yeah, Triss is largely a good human being, she was my main all the way through my first playthrough, and in Witcher 1 this playthrough (you're thinking of Shani, WC, she's great too, and I just found her in the expansion for W3). In Witcher 2 I really started hating all the mages though, so I went neutral in that game and did the same thing in 3. Yen just gets off on not ever having to treat anybody nicely, she acts like she's doing you a favor when she behaves remotely like a normal person.

Been playing the Witcher 3 expansions. Heart of Stone was just OK. I basically enjoyed the Shani storyline and nothing else special. But I am looooooooooooving Blood & Wine. Toussaint is awesome. Totally different feel than the Northern Kingdoms. Developers took very deliberate care to build everything differently from the towns to the sweeping landscapes. Loving the storyline and many of the side quests too. Paused on Roach to take in this view *swoon* imgur.com/gallery/611HEPG(Can I not just add the photo?)

I have no idea why we can't just add photos anymore. It seems like that has been removed. I tried doing it the other day and couldn't figure it out.

That's an image above ^.
The key is to right click and get link location, NOT the copy link button on imgur, that doesn't work.

I have been playing Evil Genius over the weekend. Only about half-way through.

I have been playing Tropico 6 over the past few days as I have been nursing a sore throat and fatigue. No Covid-19 as my test was negative.

Whether its PNG or JPG doesn't matter, it's just you have to right click at imgur and get the full image link including the file format ending, otherwise the link won't work on most forums.

Taibi are you enjoying Tropico 6? I have it on my wishlist but haven't bothered to get it yet.
A buddy of mine and I got Battlefield 4 and have been enjoying it. Battlefield 1 (WW1) was decent and Battlefield V was not well balanced, as I wrote in my review. BF4 predates those with a modern combat setting and it keeps the roller coaster combat I'm so in love with in the series. As usual it's the same combat on the same maps over and over so after several hours it gets stale but if you have a good team it's too much fun.
We're also playing GTA V online finally, seven years later. It's not intuitive at all (took us forever how to do coop for certain missions) and every time you log in certain settings are reset. The griefers are still there and since the game has gotten old and is slowing down, they're bored so they just run around harvesting newbs. Still, the missions are fun and GTA V is still a fun sandbox to run around in blowing stuff up so it's good to log in once a week.

Taibi are you enjoying Tropico 6? I have it on my wishlist but haven't bothered to get it yet. Yes and no. Early on I even played at slow pace. Since then I have upped it to 4x speed. Usually play while listening to music or esport on my Mac. There is no campaign, just a series of different missions, sandbox and multiplayer. I have challenged myself to pick 10 games and play them through this year, and this is one of them, so I am persevering. Right now I am at 11/15 on missions in the base game. If you like the series I think there is enough to keep you entertained. The addition of multiple islands in most (if not all) missions is interesting. Do get it on sale though. I would not pay anything close to full price (probably look at 75% off at least).

Finished the Witcher 3 Blood & Wine expansion. Thoroughly enjoyable, great game! Did an excellent job at making the decisions hard and thought-provoking, which the first expansion kind of failed on.
Debating what to play next. Alex got his college laptop which has some real graphical chops (although the graphics card is designed for productivity software, not gaming, but it's still powerful so it shouldbe fine). He wants to play a few things with it with me - Fortnite and Phantasy Star Online 2 primarily.
Ran Kingdom Come: Deliverance for the first time last night, too! Didn't get far yet but seems fun. Not sure that I REALLY need to see my characters hands awkwardly pick up everything, but hey ;P
