Was drawing out a captain by killing his Olog buddies, managed to get him to show up, but tried to clear up the mess of grunts around me before facing him. Kept trying to drain a pesky Olog as I'd just unlocked an upgrade that allowed that. Fucker ignored that and stomped me. Missed the 'try not to die quicktime event' so he not only kills me, but he fucking DESTROYS my goddamn LEGENDARY SWORD, the one that drops from a legendary orc captain, the super rare fuckers.

At this point I think I'm done with the game, two forts down, some 50ish% completed. I've seen pretty much everything so far, the story isn't interesting in the slightest and the gameplay itself is starting to grow stale. Game was worth the 10 or so Euros I got it for, but not much more than that.

So after my last brush with the plague (that never really went anywhere, no symptoms for me or any of my immediate family) a month or so back, another encounter appears. Friend and his wife tested positive after a fever yesterday, and we kinda hung out multiple times over the past week so highly likely that if they were infectious I would've caught it. Then again, it's just as possible I've been asymptomatic last time and am worrying about nothing again :V

Tho I have half a mind to just go and get tested if possible and put the whole thing to rest, even if it'd be temporary.

Quick question on the Gladius game as it's on a fairly nice discount atm. Is it any good?

40k games haven't been particularly great in years now (few exceptions here and there), and this one looks like a reskinned Civ copy (which might not be a bad thing since Civ is pretty good), plus the DLC approach is a bit ehh as well from the looks of it (having both faction specific DLC and then smaller unit DLC which seems to add one or two units for each faction) so the total price comes out at quite a bit more if you want everything.

Today, Firefox decided to commit sudoku.

Worked fine in the morning, came back in the afternoon, none of the tabs were responding, decide to kill it and start it up again, wouldn't launch. Figure a restart would fix it. After the restart it claimed the app was not installed and the shortcuts were leading to nothing.

Truly bizzare

That list wouldn't perhaps include some games like MGS V or Horizon Zero Dawn, Fallout 4, Borderlands 3 even, would it?

It does seem a bit of a stretch to have so many super big titles, especially some so soon after release.

No no, clearly the role of the mesh is to act as a faraday cage of sorts and prevent your brainwaves being affected by the lizard people who are orchestrating this whole thing.

It's a high tier meme tho :V

Like, a single plagueclaw is going to do just as much if not more, much earlier in the game (while also probably being cheaper, can't remember their prices/upkeep atm)

Edit:

Unrelated thing I meant to comment on earlier but forgot. Is it just me or is the escaped greenskin slaves event kind of shit in the vortex campaign? You fight a fairly tough DE army (for early game anyway, mostly because they're just as missile heavy as you so you will take casualties) and then every now and then a single province in naggarond will get the event that damages some buildings and reduces their slave numbers. Not sure if it was something bugged or if that's all there is to it, but I was expecting something more developed I guess? Something you can maybe interact with down the line a bit?

Right, third attempt got me a technical win of the campaign on Vortex, all I gotta do is murder clan Moulder, which should be a cakewalk and an exercise in wasting time since I pretty got my doomstack (and it's fairly diverse but leaning heavily on stag knigths, hawk riders and assorted missile units with a few dragons and heroes thrown in). Final battle thing was fairly easy, wasn't clear cut at first as the skaven kinda bumrush your but once I got some spells and abilities off they crumbled fairly easily. Then the chaos comes in and it's even more of a joke. Fun bit of info, 4 hawk riders using their volley ability on a snared chaos lord/sorcerer on a dragon is enough to chunk some 90% of it's hp and instantly rout the poor bastard.
I'm guessing you could easily push the hawk riders further into broken if you ran more of them in combination with a few more heroes to provide the extra snares.

Anyways, I'm still not entirely sold on the WE what with their lack of proper siege stuff and kinda lackluster options in terms of unit variety (they do get a bit of everything but it feels so meh compared to pretty much every other faction, tho I guess that's because they haven't really had proper updates until now).

Also also, further thoughts on the forge stuff, pretty eh, you get most of the stuff fairly quickly and until they implement the rework I'd say only a single option is really viable in the long term, even if it does offer weaker rewards.
Also also also, is it just me or is Ariel kinda bloody overloaded in terms of skills/abilities/kit in general. Like, I get she's supposed to be a legendary hero and super special and powerful but she gets so much shit to choose from as well as being able to do so much in terms of magic and active skills that every other hero of the faction looks rather shit, like the poor wayfinder dudes which have barely enough skillpoints to take up the full 40 points.

Anyways anyways, on to the real meat of the DLC, the big bad glutton rat, super stoked to play around with the mutation stuff.
