Godamn, Snowrunner can go a little too far on the hard-core side.

There's this bug, I guess where it won't let you unload cargo sometimes. But then if you try again it works, so no problem.

So each (world) like Michigan has 4 areas.

Two of these areas do not have garages. You won't know this unless you look at the global map screen and look for the garage symbol crossed out. Without a garage (base) you can't recover and refuel via the menu.

So you drive miles from one area into the other, and if you tip your truck or run out of fuel you have to recover to a garage in the previous area. Meaning you have to schlep back to get back to the other area.

So I loaded up two trucks in a convoy, preloaded the materials I would need to do the mission. I drove from my garage to the next area. Drove miles to the cargo point, I had exactly the correct cargo only the game wouldn't accept it. Because somehow the wood and concrete I'd brought from one part of Michigan wasn't accepted. It wanted me to find resources in this area to deliver. Pain in the ass.

So I tried again but this time brought a big and fuel truck.

Now my problem is there's no room in this area to turn trailers around. I'm having to detach trailers then turn the truck, reattach and pull the trailer backwards.

I woke up 3am this morning and couldn't get back to sleep, so I played 18 holes of golf as Jack Nicklaus. He's never played so poorly in his life. Shook his head with every shot.

I prefer Fred Couples: 36 Great Holes.  Which does sound kind of smutty.

Wonder how many people? 36? 18? 12?

This weekend, I've been mostly playing Stellar Blade. Really enjoying it a lot so far. No noticable bugs or glitches; Looks and feels like a finished game, which is unheard of these days.

I also got back into playing Street Fighter 6. The new charaters are cool to fight against; I may buy them soon, so I can try playing them. SF6 is becoming my second favorite SF game.

Been playing quite a bit:

Eiyuden Chronicles: Rising (gearing up for some sweet Suikoden nostalgia)

Megaton Musashi W: Wired (Level 5's answer to Armored Core)

LoZ: Tears of the Kingdom (adventuring in Hyrule for months now; always something to do!)

Just bought:

Stellar Blade

SaGa: Emerald Beyond

Eiyuden Chronicles: Hundred Heroes

Damn. It's been forever since I watched Beverly Hills Cop.

I played a bit of The Quarry and Peggle 2. I also watched most of the Mission Impossible movies because my son, who has never seen them, was in an action mood. MI 2 still sucks but the rest are fantastic.

I'm currently eyeing the purchase of a refurbished Surface Studio 2+ all-in-one PC.  MS has a whole program in place to offer them refurbished in the US, but here in Europe there is no such thing.  But I found an IT shop that has one on offer at the moment.  No way I'd ever spend the kind of money they're asking for these new, but I could spare the money for a refurb.  Especially since I'm about to sign a big project that's worth about a year's income.

My whole workflow has been built around mobility, allowing me to have all my files with me on the go and to just plug it in to a hub with monitor, keyboard and mouse when at my desk.  I don't need a Surface Studio PC.  But they're so goddamn desirable.  Couple that with some good old FOMO due to these opportunities being very rare over here, and the fact that it'd mean I'd then own a VR capable system (even if just) and it's a hard deal to resist.  I'll probably never get into VR gaming, and it'll be more of a hassle to actually work on two different PC's due to software license shenanigans.  But still.  I mean, just look at it:

Yeah it's certainly nice looking.
