> Naming a Daggerfall character "Halt"
brilliant

[IronTomato]

To be fair it wasn't originally my idea

[Yoink]

I dearly wish that I'd done a more formal write-up for this settlement. We started in an extreme desert, where an ancient highway met a river, and our first months were hell. There is hardly any arable land, just gravel where stone pillars meet sand. There is no wood, there is no animal life to hunt, none.

That's pretty dang cool! I haven't tried any of those edgy monster-related mods, but it seems like they're a lot better-implemented than I expected.
Might have to try them on my next colony. Oh gosh I really wish Prison Labour would update properly. Not to mention combat extended to make shotguns fun again...   

What's your rather brutal colony called, anyway?

No real achievement gameplay wise, but I decided to get the Golden Ending for Doki Doki Literature Club. The skip button was my best friend, for getting through all the repeating dialogue, and holy shit was it able to make me feel. Totally worth the time.

The heartwarming end was so worth it as well.

[SeriousConcentrate]

I'm not going to comment on DDLC because I have the feeling I have a very Unpopular Opinion^tm about it, but I'll agree the Golden Ending was very nice. ^^^

[Man of Paper]

We were the Aussies on a map I've never played before (it's been months since I've opened the game), and I was a Machine Gunner. I set up on some elevated ground behind the majority of my teammates, but the map was dark, so I had to rely on our thankfully abundant spotting to effectively suppress and deter the incoming VC. I managed to get a good few kills by firing at muzzle flashes in the distance, but eventually our first point was overrun. The enemy was paying a heavy toll for every inch of ground though, and while they took one of the next pair of points fairly handily thanks to a wide flanking maneuver, my squad had set up in the other point to delay the enemy's advance while the rest of the team set up at the next point behind us. Eventually we were outnumbered on the point and it was taken from us, but the VC were having a problem killing us anyway. We were under heavy fire, leapfrogging backwards until we had no hard cover between us and our fallback point, and the commander noticed this. He ordered us to hold, as he had an artillery strike ready in a few seconds. He called it in and as the first rounds fell ordered us to run like hell. So we did.

One squadmate was unfortunate enough to leave cover too soon and was rewarded with a few rounds in his back, but the rest of us managed to make it back alive. The commander told us to set up a porcupine defense (I'm pretty sure he meant hedgehog, but it was easy enough to understand the order), and we wound up weathering half a dozen assaults before the enemy numbers were depleted.

Rising Storm 2: Vietnam. Jumped back into it after hearing the song that plays on the menu while at work (a bowling alley, by the way). While 99% of the credit definitely goes to a very communicative commander, I definitely felt like a badass.

Wyarwyeer (As in Why-Are-We-Here, but slurred in an eldritch way) is the settlement, and while the mods have cool things (Like lunar cycle, werewolves, worshiping eldritch gods, plumbing, and growing bamboo for construction) most of the horrible stuff like butchering people and using their skins to make couches, trendy leather jackets and eco-friendly burgers is all base game- you just have to tweak the butcher bench and cooking table labor settings.

Jecrell's Rim of Madness Mod-Pack is overall amazing, with fantastic art and level of detail in implementation.

I snatched Danzig from Denmark. Teutonic and Livonian Orders were destroyed very quickly, they didn't even make it to the 1470s! So I decided to feed Danish Livonia to Riga (who is my vassal) and also snatch Danzig, creating a vassal republic of the same name. What are you going to do without reforming into Commonwealth, Poland?

Europa Universalis 4. I play as Russia, and my next plan is befriending Ottomans and then attacking Poland-Lithuania for their territory.

[Haspen]

After breaking the power of pan-European Bohemia and Holy Baden Empire, I've occupied, annexed and converted Rome to Sunni faith.

It's nice to be an Ottoman sultan!

Europa Universalis 3

[Khan Boyzitbig]

I was playing Aurora 4x and had a "little" fight with the precursors, I sent what I though would be just enough ships to take out the four enemy capital ships and their scout. 5 Battlecruisers, 10 missile cruisers, 15 missile destroyers and 25 ordinary destroyers. Turns out I misjudged their numbers, they actually had another 8 or 9 ships of three previously unknown classes and had a much larger tech advantage than I had thought. I won with 0 losses despite bringing the obsolete AMMs and running almost out of missiles (in the fleet, had thousands back home). I suppose firing 195 missiles every 50 seconds really helped. Both sides ran out of Anti-Missile Missiles before the end (not that mine did much good, 12% accuracy and all) and I accidentally destroyed their scout (I wanted to try and capture it) but it was a fun fight.

[Akura]

Lost, but I was 1st in team, 3rd overall. Spent the match in a Catalina, trying to do level bombing runs on the ground targets. Initially couldn't hit anything despite being a decent bomber-er. I dropped and started getting kills. Scored two triple kills in short order.

Naturally, this eventually caught the attention of the enemy team. They started ganging up on me. However, I had just installed the 12.7mm add-on, meaning I've got good gun coverage. The first fighter to get on my tail had a fuel ignition and burned down. Another fighter trying to drop down on me was destroyed. Even on that was actually going for one of my allies was killed. While this is going on, I'm still bombing ground targets.

While the enemy did learn to mostly respect my personal "piss off' zone, my tail was shot out and I was leaking fuel. I was still flying, and still kept on bombing. When the match ended, I was still in the air, not having been counted as a kill. All the while, some appropriate epic music started playing in the background.


All this with a sea plane on a land map.

War Thunder.

[Dunamisdeos]

First successful expedition to green mountainous lands in CONAN EXILES.

Killed many wolves, collected much resin. The big move is tonight. We will be trailing many thralls, including a named armorer. Along the way are a Black Rhino and the Rockhead King, which our scouts shall divert. The land itself contains grizzly bears and dire wolves.

We are bringing enough shaped wood to build a homestead. We are also bringing a smelter, a tannery, 500 lb of bacon, some sarsaparilla, and a grandfather clock. Watch out for dysentery.

Broke the pathfinding of an otherwise scripted ambush, by blocking the doorways with junk. Didn't even need the mines the game gives you at the point.

I was heading to the docks for a bounty, when I saw a ship traveling right by the dock. I took my chance and jumped on. I had some trouble, but I killed everyone on board. And apparently my bounty was actually on the ship. It was a pretty big ship, bigger than anything I had taken before, so I sent it to my fleet.

Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag.

Not an own, but related, I was surprised when I read on TV Tropes for this game that Captain Kidd is actually a woman. Not that I'm surprised she is a woman, I was  surprised that this apparently was supposed to be surprising that she is a woman, when I immediately assumed that she was a woman from her voice, and hadn't even realized it was supposed to be a secret.
