Well I don't have her anymore :/
I definitely did prep a bit before doing the mission but nothing crazy. I prioritized getting the Guerilla Tactics School built - that was basically what I wanted to have done before I took it on, especially since I was under the assumption that the rookie was going to bite it. How wrong I was...
Gotta say it sucks that you are limited to one promotion per mission.

Tale of Two Wastelands is installed. Time to go tear shit up in D.C. with the Courier, Boone and Veronica.
Whereas my female (scummy, sleazy, sadist) Courier eventually got over her bad ways and eventually stopped massacring people in the Mojave (though not before sleeping with three women in one day and then shooting one of them just after she was freed from her employers), said Courier has no such qualms about D.C.
Time to poison the Wasteland. Megaton is getting nuked post-haste.

Well yeah you could do that too if you're okay with cheating.

I got XCOM 2 achievements in offline mode after unlocking early with a VPN.
They keep their rank.

Someone in Rocket League kept telling me I have a tumor and that I need to cure my cancer. I don't understand this online lingo. What did they mean? Did they just not like the way I played?

Either they don't like the way you played/blame you for something bad happening. If I had to guess.

Can't fault their reasoning, though. They filled a niche, which is no longer a niche, and tons of people are giving away content now.

It's a damn shame but anecdotally speaking I stopped watching their content a few years back after a number of staff left. It did feel like their popularity was really waning. Damn shame though

ahh i'm gonna try and rush that
yeah i don't like that limitation
Too bad about Gametrailers, but in truth I haven't visited the site in a long time.
It used to be my go to site for... game trailers. Bonus Round was sometimes a good watch as well. But it has probably been more than a year now since I last visited it.

And.... am I still alive?
Well I bought a Hori pad instead anyway.
Bought and finished Talos Principle: Road to Gehenna over the weekend after really enjoying the main game shortly before..
Would have been nice to have a new mechanic (actually cut out the platform as well), but the puzzles maintained their quality, the story/themes were interesting and the message board delivery was pretty amusing having been around them for so long. My only real issue with either game was that the majority of the times I got stuck for more than a few minutes turned out to not really be logic failings but either not understanding a somewhat arbitrary mechanic (you can only elevate something by placing a box on an unpowered fan and using that as the base for example) or that I had just missed a hard to see item for a few minutes (the first platform..). Something like Portal 2 goes the extra mile with visual cues and dialog to explain all the mechanics clearly, while still being challenging in the actual logic of puzzles.
Also didn't like the implementation of challenge stars, which going by the message board dialog in Gehenna others didn't as well. If I knew which puzzles required items from other puzzles (they make you find jumps to get over gates that prevent you bringing items in/out), I would have skipped those and done the others. But as is, I had to skip almost all of them in the original game because otherwise I was risking spending half an hour thinking I'm close to solving a difficult puzzle when in reality it was impossible with the tools on hand. After doing so once in Gehenna (you need some stars to unlock the final level), I just opened a guide and tried to skim it to see what was necessary but leave the puzzle bits to me.
But only really mentioning the issues I had because it was otherwise so satisfying and thoughtful, definitely a high recommend. Might finally give Antimatter a shot while I'm in a first person puzzle mode.

Last I checked
i'm gonna remind ppl to really hold off modding xcom 2 until they patch this shit up
yesterday i spent like 20 minutes fixing the name of my free camera rotation mod and now i can't even access my save anymore
it's absolutely ridiculous that you can't even load your save if you don't have the mod installed
wtf

Really liking the steam controller so far. Think I might even use it over my 369 controller in some games.
...This is why we don't use off-brand controllers, kids.
And yet, it has a better d-pad than the Microsoft original.

No need to play the other games, and some of the story paths are really good (there's 10 endings)
Also, you don't NEED to do the weird things, they are mostly optional.
You'll get plently of bang for your buck with this one, trust me

I saw all the "fun" there is to the genre. Clicker games, what a trash waste of time.

I've... never trusted Steam Workshop when it comes to mods. Launchers and manual installations are so much more reliable.
Still can't believe Valve tried to essentially make mods into mercenary DLC with the shakey Workshop thing they have going. Compatability would be impossible.

Well so far, I may get a Steam one later on.

Garbage battery prevents me from enjoying it much, I usually just end up using my Xbone + Eneloops or Wii U pads on the Steam Link.
Perhaps I'm odd.

Nah. Not with that right analog stick.
The dpad seriously gets a bad rep for the Steam Controller. If you tune it to what you want, you get no issues - which is also the problem since a lot of people dont want to even attempt to have a look at the settings and what they do.
I can do my usual A rank on Ikaruga and get all the way through MK9s story and ladder mode doing all the usual combos or fatalities without issue, even on the stupid raiden V Shao khan fight. That's better than the 360 pad, but I have no idea on the bone pad since ive not had enough time on it

Is that the lunar version? It has such a nice scheme to it.
