Well I focus mainly in m+ and it has been abit boring again, trying to pug 22+ keys is sometimes pain, because you can never know are the other players good / awake.
Once I made the mistake of stepping into an elevator that was not there . Oh it’s there, just not drawn in, and fell to my death. And sometimes it’s a struggle just to get out of my bunk (game start position), not because I don’t want to, the server won’t let me. And there always seem to be issues with glitchy servers. 🤔
I played WoW on launch 2004 for a year, a most wonderful experience, hit the level cap 60, and said ok, what do I do now, even though I had multiple characters not yet at 60. I tried a 20 or was it 30 (?) person raid. It sucked, I twiddled my thumbs for an hour waiting for the raid group to assemble and the experience was just not enjoyable. After that with expansions, I came back 2 more times hoping to rekindle the love, but it just was not there. 🥲
- Star citizen- This game is ahead of it’s time, grand in scope, but is not ready for prime time. I’ve tried it multiple times and it’s basically a lag fest. You’ll be logged in, but items will be missing, like it takes another 30 minutes for your inventory to show up, or you’ll be at the tram station, the tram shows up, the door opens, but there is no tram. Don’t step in!
Star Citizen- It’s impossible for me to judge, however, the feature creep accusation could very well be the culprit. From my experience, the worse lag is in the central populated cities. I am no expert on this game, but in the persistent world, I know you can mine and make a lot of money. You can board NPC spaceships and liberate them from pirates along with other NPC populated targets, like caves. I’ve done those with my hand being held by a friend who might have paid $1k for the ingame ships he has bought. The Argo Mole, a large mining ship that can mine minerals or strip the skins off derelict space ships only cost $225, or is it $275? 🤔 It’s interior is the most impressive ship I have even stepped into in a game. I have the Avenger Titan that was gifted to me $60, Haul cargo, people or dog fight, but I have not personally verified it’s abilities. Just about every time I log in, the environment is a mess. 🫤

Love the desk stuff everywhere LOL...Speaking of Deck, let's take a break from the games and now to something new I picked up
As you know Steam is celebrating their 20th anniversary and with it comes a 20% discount on the Deck, but more importantly, it's official dock. So, I decided to get it.
it's so cute and small
And has a great selection of ports. 3 USB-As, an ethernet, and HDMI and DisplayPort
That USB-C is for power
Anyway, I hooked it up and already put it to work
Oh my god desktop mode is so much better navigating on a mouse and keyboard. Don't get me wrong the trackpads and touch screen still work great, but if you gotta type a lot of stuff or do a lot of web searches (or in my case use the Terminal and move files around for..."fun things" 😉) then a keyboard is still better.
And now my Deck has a home now instead of just laying around in random places around the house while I let it charge.

Got four computers on mine, numerous SSD's/HDD's, 3 to 4 high end digital music players, more IEM's, couple of speakers, endless wires/interconnects. I like my mess, nothing wrong with a little chaos
Q-6
I found the official dock pretty disappointing. It doesn't do 1440p @ 144Hz through DisplayPort and power passthrough is capped at 45W (which is annoying if you want to use it with a laptop). I ended up sticking with my random 3rd party dock which does do 1440p @ 144Hz and 100W power passthrough. It's only really worth it if you need the extra power supply for some reason.Speaking of Deck, let's take a break from the games and now to something new I picked up

Busy minds and all
Same here is just organic in nature. I tidy it up and let grow back LOL...
Join the Discord server (link in the mods) as this can help with any set up issues for online play.
The YT vids of this game (RoN) shows the game can be pretty brutal.
Thx, I'm aware of Ready or Not, game is still in early access so I'll stick with modified SWAT 4. Will take a lot more than just graphics to pass Elite Force & Back to Los Angeles as it's all about the gameplay with me.
As Ready or Not completes and matures no doubt I'll have a good look as it is very much the spiritual successor to SWAT 4. Another good mod for SWAT 4 is SEF First Responders which is making good progress.
