Been ages since I’ve seen Beverly Hills Cop as well. Also watched a couple of oldish movies this weekend as well, Clear and Present Danger and Charlie’s Angels. Enjoyed them back then and still enjoy them.

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 didn't do much gaming this weekend.  I did download Another Crab's Treasure though, so that's something.  yes

And I too watched an old movie.  We watched Erin Brockovich, also still a good movie.

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:

Been trucking all weekend.

Like a real trucker, getting a bit burnt out. It's a tough life.

Mostly down to the areas in the game that don't have garages.

Having to recover from area B to area A because your truck flips or you run out of fuel. Then having to drive all the way through area A to get back to Area B.

Ahhh, it's unbelievable. I did pretty well by towing two trucks and a fuel trailer to one area and did most things in area B.

The next problem is that certain missions require a crane. If you don't have one you have to recover to your garage in area A to fit it and drive all the way back to area B.

There are also certain trailers that require a low or high saddle. Same thing as the crane, but even worse is that you rock up to a trailer to do a task, and suddenly realise you don't have the right saddle to fit it. And the task menu didn't tell you that you needed that saddle. And even if it did, you would still have to recover to your garage in area A and drive back to area B.

Trailer stores don't allow you to change your saddle or cranes.

Trailers can also only be sold when you drag them back to a trailer store, usually on the other side of the map. So I've given up on selling trailers and leave them scattered around the map instead.
